Does it? I find it kind of comforting that the campaigning bullshit doesn't affect people's votes all that much - I'd certainly be embarrassed if I was swayed by a campaign rather than voting based on my own preexisting worldview

You've fallen into a moral panic. Social media is just a space people exist in. Abuses happen anywhere people interact but the answer isn't to ban people from that social space

Are you confused? I just described how I first thought the skeet was about one thing and then realized it was about another

It's a spectrum but forcing people to identify themselves so some can be excluded when using the major websites used to communicate with each other definitely makes the internet less open and less anonymous

It's a blow to the open and anonymous internet and to children's rights

She claimed she was with Epstein and several other people who left her alone in the room with Trump. β€œLet me teach you how little girls are supposed to be,” she recalled Trump saying, according to the FBI report. She said he unzipped his pants and forced her head to his penis. She said she immediately bit him and Trump struck her, the report said. She told the FBI agents that she bit him because he β€œdisgusted” her. In her third interview, she told agents she wanted to clarify how Trump reacted to her biting him, explaining that Trump β€œpulled her hair and punched her on the side of the head.”

It's funny how terrible policies like this take the whole world by storm at once

Pretty much the default outcome really

He exists in this weird superposition of "cool progressive champion" and "sinister cryptofascist infiltrator" that kind of drives people crazy

Oh I started off assuming this was a "council member is a repeat speeder" story but I guess you're saying it's a racist cops story?

Dorsey seems like one of the less evil Silicon Valley billionaires but also one of the dumber ones

You're not allowed to say that while Trump is president, it might hurt his feelings

Sort of a "virtue signalling is good because one of the obvious ways to signal virtue is to act virtuously" situation

I assume they consider things like the valuation directly rather than through the loose proxy of poverty rates. The cynical motive for choosing a poor area is probably more like wanting the PR and feel good benefits of lifting somewhere up

Jeez damned if you do, damned if you don't with you guys - would it have been better if they didn't bother trying to use their project to uplift an impoverished area?

Slightly less weird because it's a primary election where you have a completely different ballot and set of choices depending on which party you're registered with. Sometimes the Democratic and Republican ones aren't even on the same day!

What about the Wrexham project is bad or fraudulent? I saw the show but haven't really been plugged into any positive or negative discourse about it

Yeah both the progressive candidate and the electability candidate

Paving the way for fascism is a small price to pay for keeping Corbyn out of power
