Early returns in Louisiana’s special election:

The Dem candidate is leading 58.5% to 41.5%. That’s with a third of the vote in.

Context: this is a Dem-held seat but in a district TRUMP carried by 13%, so has been a big/obvious GOP target. Stay tuned.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

counterpoint is that twitter had the opposite structure (jack had like <3% of the company during his second go-round as ceo) and they still fell under a billionaire psychopath
you could argue a big problem with FB/meta generally is that it has a stock structure that let it to go public while zuck maintained control. like maybe if some boring board of directors elected by normie shareholders was in charge they would've canned him when he spent billions on the metaverse
“taxing unrealized gains would make it hard for founders to maintain control of their companies”

why is this my problem? why should I give a single damn about this? most people never start companies, i have literally never in my life thought “founders should have more control over their companies”

applies to colorado too
When NIMBYs say that California is full and their cities can’t accommodate more housing, they are saying that queer people trying to get out of red states are on their own.
New research confirms what many of us see: there's a large internal migration of LGBTQ people in the US, especially trans people, to friendlier states & cities.
Since 11/2024, 9% of all trans people have moved to another state, 43% have considered moving.

mash used its 2.5 hour finale to once again bring the horrors of war and ptsd to every living room in america
Given that apparently the Stranger Things finale was meh (idk, didn't watch it, just the scuttlebutt) and we're not that far removed from the disastrous GOT finale that retroactively made everyone have never cared about the show:

if i ran a social network i would have the software hand out completely random 24 hour suspensions to active users. no warning just mandatory grass touching time
There should be a sort of 24 hr soft ban on this site that, when logged in, asks for your location and then indicates the distance and directions to the nearest park or outdoor public place
