But the point is to pretend he cares

It’s like bizarro Arrested Development

Did it work for them?

Yes, fantastically. But for us it just might not!

Cuban’s reply to this says everything.

Like dude keeps acting like nobody has thought about any of this or you know ACTUALLY built such systems. Just fucking PICK ONE and it will be a huge improvement

Peeps, you DO realize that our non-white friends and neighbors...are now carrying their birth certificates and passports so they can PROVE they are US citizens "just in case"?

Seems like spending designed to hamstring Mamdani by making it more difficult for him to pursue the agenda he laid out in his campaign

I am not saying you are wrong about the “but” but I don’t see how you figure it. Hamfisted or not CBS seems pretty out of the picture at this point

The early web was driven by curiosity & openness, not monetization.
