This might explain how companies like Mastercard and United Airlines wound up sponsoring Trump’s Freedom 250:
“The move confused corporate executives, many of whom didn’t know that Trump had started a separate organization to raise money for his own celebrations”

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out
Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
COVEY: “.. under the new map, Democrats are favored in 10 of the state’s 11 seats, leaving just one deep red district in southwest Virginia ..”

Dan Schulman is the new CEO of Verizon and he is predicting 20 to 30% unemployment within the next 2 to 5 years due to AI.
Not a typo. He thinks 1/3 of people currently employed will lose their jobs by 2030.
“.. It actually hurts more that it was so close,” said a GOP operative, granted anonymity to speak candidly ..

This short list doesn’t include the times I’ve been hit on by women in Utah. I’ve been hit on by SOOOOOOO MANY WOMEN in Utah. Thanks, but no thanks. 😬
I’ve noticed for a LOT of products, whatever price Amazon has, every other site online has the exact same price. They could’ve been matching what they saw online or this.
Coachella is removing these videos, so they might be about to learn about the Strokesand Effect.
Every single article I read about Madonna at Coachella mentioned that she’s 67. Not one article I read about Nine Inch Nails at Coachella mentioned that Trent’s 60.
ISN’T THAT WEIRD?
It’s almost as if everything Madonna has ever said about misogyny is true, or something. 🤷♂️
"This is an important thing to think about."
Virginia Woolf, more than a hundred years ago:
Virginia! Today is the last day to vote in the redistricting referendum.
Make sure to vote YES.

After France, Denmark is moving too: its Digitalisation Ministry plans to phase out Microsoft, switching to Linux and LibreOffice in the coming months. The goal is clear—reduce dependence on a handful of global tech giants and strengthen digital sovereignty.

The owner of Coachella is a right-wing nationalist and gives lots of money to anti-LGBT organizations.

Virginia voters approved a referendum on voting maps with a 51% majority Tuesday, but the results face an immediate legal challenge at the state Supreme Court.
I’m glad that blue states are finally playing by the same rules as red states. There’s no reason to “play nice” or whatever. Republicans won’t
Today was a BANNER Day for Democarcy:
SAVE Act Dies in the Senate and Dems win redistricting in VA to pick up potentially 4 seats!
LET’S GOOOOO!!!!
The sanitization and sanctification of Michael Jackson is one of those subjects I can't seem to talk about with calmness or rationality; I just stare at these money-machine enterprises and feel revulsion. I think I'll skip the discourse on this upcoming movie.
When someone posts something that looks like this.
With airspace between every sentence to emphasize profundity.
Even in sentence fragments.
Because of concision.
Which is the most powerful weapon we have.
The likelier it is that you are reading some terrible overshared AI-generated crap.
Has anyone told Trump about Virginia? We need a new audition monologue.
If you called her "the goat," I think you'd get one of the most withering staredowns in history. But the truth is the truth. Happy 94th to Elaine May. Long may she reign!
I had someone recently tell me that non-natives of Philadelphia should not be writing about Philadelphia, and out of all the cliches that have penetrated mass culture from MFA programs, "write what you know" is the most toxic, especially for nonfiction writers.
Several people with signs like this at the Boston Marathon today
You gotta give to the GOP.
They trained their voters to hate “libs” so much they would gratefully accept every manner of corruption, lawlessness, cruelty, ineptitude, and criminality, and cheer it on, so long as it is their team doing it.
