The main problem with the failure of journalists and academics to abandon Twitter despite knowing that they should (the liberal professional condition is accepting a paycheck from sources we know perhaps we shouldn't) is that at some margin, Elon and his algorithm drive mainstream journalism in directions it otherwise wouldn't have gone, or at least not as far and as credulously.
I wonder whether the coverage given the lame attempt to "swift boat" of Tim Walz isn't an example of that in action.
Once crypto was wrapped behind ETFs, I thought it'd trade just like any other contract on NASDAQ.
I gave it a try today. (Given the political decision to entrench rather than crush crypto, I think a small allocation in a portfolio towards proof-of-stake crypto may be reasonable.)
Interestingly, my broker requires I apply for special trading permissions.
Anita Dunn (advisor to Joe Biden and now Kamala Harris) on Bernie Sanders:
“I can’t say enough good things about him, who has been just a loyal supporter and a good partner and someone who has always been willing to tell us when he thinks we’re making a mistake. But that is what you want in a good partner.”

This post is a deep fake.
punctuation is word-salad dressing.
“i mean, if you’re AMAB and you vote for Democrats, doesn’t that make you trans by definition?”
i keep trying to create a fake fake, but it always comes out real.
"freedom is when i get what i want."
i react badly to this emoji: 🚨
should Harris run on Bidenomics?

imagine a world in which JD Vance could appropriate the couch meme, make his own knowing, good natured, self mocking references to couches.
everyone knows the allegation is fabricated, that Vance in fact has nothing on this score to be ashamed of. one thing Harris + Wolz on a stage together demonstrate is how thirsty we all our for human beings just having a little fun, expressing a little joy.
@realcaseyrollins@social.teci.world @realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social I think Walz is the right choice from an electoral perspective because he is great. It’s not about ticking boxes, balance, who’s running as a progressive. I think he has strong values that he has real talent at communicating, and that those values are in fact widely shared, much as people like to slice and dice the electorate into little categories.
Screenshot of tweet by Dante Atkins: So many people out there saying "Walz helps with this demo or doesn't help with that demo" and no it's not about any of that. Walz forms a sharp contrast of culture, values, morals and biography with the GOP ticket, and knows how to speak about it. That's it. It's all narrative.
“At one point in his interview, Mr. Walz volunteered that he had never previously used a teleprompter” https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/06/us/politics/harris-tim-walz-vp-pick.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=c-cb
i can’t remember whether i read the movie or watched the book.
