When Dodge released the Caliber, the first one I noticed was on a billboard, and from a distance I said “oh that car looks kinda cute” and when we got closer I was able to read that the rest of the billboard said “The all-new Dodge Caliber: It’s anything but cute.”
Oops.
Kamala Harris’s 60 minutes interview had 5.7 million live viewers, and as of today, 3.8 million views on YouTube. Making approximately 9.5 million views total.
Spotify doesn’t release their numbers, but just on YouTube, Donald Trump’s appearance on Joe Rogan’s 3-hour podcast got over 26 million views in the first 24 hours (and today is sitting at 55 million views).
Even if CBS was somehow unfair, it doesn’t matter. Trump got a massive viewership advantage going on Rogan, but because he’s a fossil, doesn’t see it that way, because he still thinks broadcast TV is mainstream media. It’s not. Joe Rogan is mainstream media at this point.
Trump is already running with the line that the helicopter/plane collision was somehow Biden’s fault, even though Trump and “Justin Hammer” fucked with the FAA. That’s probably why they are speedrunning this collapse, they want to claim they inherited a mess, and shift blame for the consequences of their actions.
There have been recent leaks that indicate Valve is working on something going by the codename “Fremont” that is basically just that. Also some 3D models of a new Steam controller that’s much more like A SteamDeck without the screen were included in a recent update.
We’ll see though, Valve does have a bit of a problem staying focused on what they were working on when they come back from their holiday break, and sometimes things get cancelled because they lose interest over the break.
I feel you. But at the same time, I’m also afraid that as they dismantle the government, the brain drain from departing/retiring federal workers and knowledge about how the parts of government (for example the NIH or the NOAA/NWS) function on the day to day (including things like historical climate data) will be lost in the chaos. I’m not paying attention now, because I think it will be more important to pay attention in a month. I’m not sure I’ll be able to handle it then either, but I don’t want some of what we do have to be lost forever because some assholes didn’t like it, and the rest of us thought they deserved it. Maybe they do deserve it, but the rest of us don’t deserve to lose it forever either.
I’m not sure getting rid of presidential pardons is right either. There are cases of provably innocent people on death row who have been saved from execution by presidential pardon because the justice system otherwise failed them. It’s not a perfect system, and it has failed more than it has saved, but until we reform the justice system (and probably ban the death penalty) stopping presidential pardons is a terrible idea.
So, I never believed the “Golden Dome” was going to actually be a thing, but wasn’t the contract for that supposed to be going to one of Elon’s companies? Is the project just off now? And follow-up question: is anything (short of scrambling some nearby jets) preventing Elon from “landing” a Falcon Heavy Rocket on the White House?
