to me this is just ex-post-facto justification for motivational reasoning or confirmation bias. people just look for the easiest possible way to resolve cognitive dissonance.

The tax code is not codified in the constitution - free speech and free press is. the only reason the fairness doctrine was ever constitutional was because the public airwaves were a limited resource. That limitation does not exist on cable TV or the internet, so you're going to have a huge uphill battle through the courts to make a Neo-fairness-doctrine for cable or social media constitutional.

it’s a plague of propaganda. i don’t think people are significantly different than they were 20+ years ago, but today we have to deal with a fire hose of nonsense on social media and 24 hour news.

our main issue today is with 24/7 cable news and social media, neither of which were ever governed by the fairness doctrine.

“Mark Cuban is a Loser,” Trump wrote in a Saturday Truth Social post. “Wouldn’t take his phone calls anymore while at the White House, and he went rogue. A weak and pathetic ‘bully,’ he’s got nothing going. Really low clubhead speed, a total non-athlete!”
lol even trump's insults are getting worse.

it doesn't swing both ways. They are claiming the position of being "pro life" which is clearly hypocritical. No one on the other side is claiming to be "pro death" or "anti life".

I'm also not sure "just ask the store manager if you can have it" is a good idea. It's not theirs, and even though Redbox is going through bankruptcy it's still an asset of the company that can be liquidated to pay debts. Most likely no one will want to buy them, but just seems like a silly risk for tinkering's sake.

I’d be weary of Obama cracking jokes about Trump though. Last time he did that to a crowd of people (who all laughed in Trump’s face) it was shortly before Trump became president.
that was like 10 13 years ago and trump is becoming more senile by the day. I think they are trying to goad him into more public appearances to highlight that.

yes there is “evidence” for and against literally everything. you have to put your thinking cap on and examine what that actually means.

yes you can cherry pick studies to prove just about anything you want. you can find "scientific" studies that prove climate change is bogus too. there's a lot of crap science out there. look at meta-analyses and recommendations from trusted institutions like Johns Hopkins as I linked above which you clearly didn't read.
not a perfect translation, but pretty good.
sorry for the hasty photo, was in too much of a hurry to scarf it down.
Wizards guard Malcolm Brogdon underwent surgery today to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb, sources tell @TheAthletic. Brogdon suffered the injury during practice Saturday in Montreal.

The interesting bits to me: >“The past two years,” Davis told The Athletic on Sunday night, “a development coach from each year has been tinkering with my shot, messing with it. So I came back into this year, and I said, ‘Nobody is touching my jump shot. I’m just going to leave it as it is, leave it comfortable.’ And they’ve left me alone about it. So, it feels really good right now. I’ve been working on it the whole summer, so I’m just glad to see it pay off.” >Davis said he made those tweaks with the help of his trainer in Wisconsin, James Fox. --- >“I just feel like I know what’s going on on the court,” Coulibaly said Sunday night. “Last year, there was some times where I felt awkward on the court and I didn’t know what I was doing for real. But now I know what I gotta do, what Coach really wants me to do. So, I know where my spots are. I know where I’m going to get the ball. It makes it way easier for me.” >And as his drive and runner in the third quarter showed, the right-wrist fracture he suffered last March that ended his rookie season prematurely might have been a blessing in disguise. It forced him to concentrate on developing his coordination with his off-hand. >“Oh, man,” he said, breaking into a wide smile, “you don’t even know how much I worked on my left hand. It was crazy. I can shoot with my left hand now, too, because I’ve been working so much on my left hand. It was like six weeks straight shooting with my left hand, dribbling, passing, all of that.” >Keefe also expects to have Coulibaly take more of a role handling the ball and initiating the offense. --- >Even before that imaging took place, a league source told The Athletic that Brogdon is expected to miss at least one month.
>Updated 10:16 PM EDT, September 25, 2024 >The U.S., France and other allies jointly called Wednesday for an “immediate” 21-day cease-fire to allow for negotiations in the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah that has killed more than 600 people in Lebanon in recent days. >The joint statement, negotiated on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, says the recent fighting is “intolerable and presents an unacceptable risk of a broader regional escalation.” >“We call for an immediate 21-day cease-fire across the Lebanon-Israel border to provide space for diplomacy,” the statement said. “We call on all parties, including the governments of Israel and Lebanon, to endorse the temporary cease-fire immediately.”
Maybe the mod(s) got banned by admins? Doesn't seem to be too active thankfully, but it's probably only a matter of time before moderation will be needed there.
Toronto Raptors center Jontay Porter is out of the lineup and a subject of an NBA investigation into irregularities on prop betting involving him, sources tell @DavidPurdum, @ESPNWindhorst and me. Story soon. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/39808900/nba-eyes-raptors-jontay-porter-betting-issues
ICE is dead, and none of the developments make it to road cars anyway. Meanwhile, battery/EV tech needs all the development it can get and F1's have been frozen for years. Make F1 road relevant again, not just aerospace on bubble gum tires. Let teams compete on the tech that *actually matters* to the motoring world.

CFI calls on our supporters to help defeat a pro-homeopathy amendment being proposed for the federal appropriations bill H.R. 4368. The homeopathy lobby is pushing hard for this amendment, and we need CFI supporters to voice their opposition to their members of Congress. Homeopathy groups such as Americans For Homeopathy Choice (AFHC) are lobbying strenuously for Appropriations Amendment #4. This amendment would bar FDA enforcement of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act against new homeopathic drug products as long as a product complies with “standards for strength, quality, and purity set forth in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States.” In other words, it would replace much-needed federal regulation with the industry’s own standards. CFI has consistently pointed out that homeopathy is bunk science that does not work beyond the placebo effect. Homeopathic products are typically diluted to the point that no active ingredients remain. It is quack medicine and consumer fraud. The Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia’s standards of quality are not medically valid. Yet the amendment would exempt homeopathic products from FDA regulation and oversight if they comport with those standards. This amounts to an argument of “No need for federal regulation, we can regulate ourselves with our own standards even if they constitute medical fraud” – or, more succinctly, “Let the fox guard the henhouse, please.” (Indeed, CFI has tussled with the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia before.) At the moment, AFHC and the homeopathy lobby are seeking additional co-sponsors in the House of Representatives for their amendment. This is where CFI’s supporters come in. We need our supporters to mobilize and contact their members in the House of Representatives immediately. Please let them know, in no uncertain terms, that homeopathy cannot and must not escape federal regulation. It is crucial to keep Appropriations Amendment #4 out of the federal appropriations bill.

We know Ted now owns NBC Sports Washington. Does that make it more or less likely that they follow other teams like the Jazz in setting up over-the-air and streaming packages?
