Yeah he is likely to win as a write-in according to the linked article.

Hmm I don't really see that reading of the headline - avoiding humiliation implies he chickened out? I think it's just saying he's going to... avoid being humiliated, not necessarily through any cowardly means. And the article backs that interpretation up.

Cool, thanks. I love how you can edit your posts like that on lemmy, I'm still not used to it!

"When corrected" is doing a lot of work there

Oh no they'll contaminate some glass and plastic that have been thrown away!

This is the real problem with these Silicon Valley fads like crypto and AI - they cause idiot tech executives to disinvest in their worthwhile products in an attempt to get on the bandwagon.

This will cause me to torrent the Amazon shows I want to watch even though I'll likely still have access to an Amazon account to watch them on.

Hard to have sympathy for this woman, but these TikTok battles where they basically have influencers competing to see who can get their followers to donate more money to TikTok do seem pretty fucked up.

We're in one of the best times to be alive in history and the world is still getting better in many ways, I just try to feel grateful for that when I see something that's bad or getting worse.

Reddit removed downvotes?

You can get through the NY Mag paywall by opening in a private tab.

Hopefully improving communication with whales will help shut down the last remnants of the whaling industry.

We've long known it's likely that some kind of communication is going on in whalesong, but it's a pretty huge advance to have figured out enough to say "hello"

Maybe not in Atlantis, but it really is possible that right now that humpback is telling his buddies "I swear, I was swimming along and heard someone saying hello, and when I looked over it was a boat!"

Interesting, I do now see this website listed as the destination of the link where there was nothing before: https://mazdak.com/p/fed-rate-cut-expectation

But when I click on it I get a "Secure Connection Failed" error. That could potentially be an issue with my office firewall though.___
