This might be one of the most outrageous push poll questions I've ever seen.

Genuinely attrocious.

The pollsters involved should be embarrassed.

Yes. Trump is definitely a predator.

Please run with that line.

Wild how he thinks it's a good line to almost brag that in California the price is over $8.

Like sure, slam a Dem leaning state, but how is that help GOP members in that state for the midterms?

“The MAGA crowd is made of dumb people — like, SUPER dumb people. And they fall for it.”

For my @wired.com feature debut, I talked to Sam, a guy who made thousands of dollars on Instagram by scamming MAGA men with Emily Hart, an AI generated, Trump-loving influencer. www.wired.com/story/ai-gen...

16 Senate Dems voted for her.

Doubt the next nominee will get as smooth a confirmation.

Lol.

Also "interviewing the main characters of the moment all day long on X." basically means chatting to a bunch of incels, racists, porn bots and crypto bros.

Cool. Hope it fails.

I wish more mainstream journalists spoke like this when talking about all the evil shit going on in America.

Journalism is about giving a damn and I wish more journalists were less afraid from appearing biased by expressing that they give a damn.

It's not hard to have a soul.

Seven Senate Democrats voted for Noem.

Fetterman voted for Bondi

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

Info Wars is no more!

Seems like Alex Jones has finally had to relinquish ownership of the site/brand ever since he lost his case against the parents of Sandyhook.

Abdication of journalistic responsibilty by the US press.

The man is total rube then.

Most CEOs are clueless about AI and this is just a prime example.

I have had very similar experiences to those in this thread.

I also don't know what the causes are but it really does feel like there has been a fundamental shift in many student's relationship with higher ed.

"hit them harder than any country has ever been hit before"

Trump is aware of Hiroshima and Nagasaki right?

At no point does he say "No. I do not have a drinking problem"

He just goes on to talk about how great the FBI is general.

The semiotics of this pick are just a bizarre choice for a politician.

A clear interpretation is that he if takes charge he’ll set fire to the nation or he’ll make Britain hellish.

And isn’t burning the British flag treasonous to these people as well?

On the right wing in America, principles are there to be performed, not held.

Bit rich to call other guys creeps when Maher talked to kids on his podcast about looking up porn websites whilst he's clearly been drinking.

Given this is written by a "career coach", I'd expect a bit more depth or nuance beyond hollow stuff like "focus on transferable skills that employers value across industries, such as problem solving, clear communication"

Like yeh, no shit. Might as well just say "Be better at working"

Mrs Bennet MUST continue to live with her parents until she is married off to a wealthy land ownder!

It's Schrodinger's Strait according to Trump.

It's both totally open and also 100% blockaded at the same time.

I wish advertising went back to this simple way.

Bin all the symbolism, Chuck all the attempted humour. Scrap the little jingles.

Just say "Our stuff is good. Please buy it"

Remarkable.

It's evidently clear Trump's regime is going to do something insanely stupid/dangerous with Cuba.

It's just a matter of when Trump feels he needs to distract away from some other stupid thing he and his flunkies have done.

Should he resign over it. No. Not really.

But it's likely the penultimate issue to take him down, the final being the May elections.

He's in a hole and is seemingly both incapable and unwilling to dig himself out. (by which I mean do some actual popular politics)

My take on the Starmer/Mandelson issue:

Most regular people don't care much about it in the specifics, but likely feel this feeds into notion Starmer is feckless and not in control of his ship so to speak.

It just merely adds to the long list of reasons people have of 'yeh he should probably go'

Delusional and detached from reality.

Feelings over facts.

"Competence porn" is such a fascinating way of framing it.

This is the exact term I would use to describe shows like 'The Repair Shop'. Seeing genuinely talented people, do what they are good and care about just makes for good TV.

Not gonna lie, their poster design skills need some work. Also curious why they have a .eu address.

Genuinely kinda shocked to learn this person used to be the economics editor of the Guardian.

I'd expect this level of analysis from a a first under undergrad student.
