Spot the differences

The proposed legislation would require the consent of the governors of both the sending state and receiving state if the President should request National Guard troops under Title 32.
"I'm not afraid to stand up to President Trump to protect my neighbors from an unlawful deployment of National Guard troops in our communities,
" said
Sorensen. "I trust our state and local law enforcement agencies to go after criminals and keep families safe.
We don't need faraway governors in other states - who know nothing about our communities - sending in their National Guard units against the explicit wishes of our governor."

In the case of Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser
- who does not have jurisdiction over the city in the way a governor does over a state - has engaged in a delicate balancing act of collaborating with Trump's administration while reassuring a disapproving city council that she was not kowtowing to it.
Bowser cooperated with the White House as National Guard troops arrived. She acknowledged that crime dropped after the deployment and noted she and the city "greatly appreciate the surge of officers."

It’s been two presidential administrations since Jemele Hill has worked at ESPN

Mary Katharine Ham tweet about espn/nfl media merger: “Jemele Hill explains in a 27-min monologue from whom each Red Zone in each stadium was stolen and does 32 land acknowledgements, plus an explication of the colonialist implications of gaining yardage and the patriarchal implications of leather balls. On repeat. All day.”

this is such a wild thing for a media personality to admit

Portnoy continued, noting his personality doesn't really shine during interviews and admitted he similarly didn't feel good about his appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast two years ago.

smart of the patriots to include both candidates in one graphic, so it can be entered as a single exhibit in the inevitable Rooney rule lawsuit

kinda thought the backlash to these on here was a bit dramatic, but between the fake charity pic and the fact they are umblockable, it seems genuinely sinister

Another point of ire is that there doesn't appear to be a way to block the bots through typical channels: the option to block or restrict the profiles is missing.

I’m curious if you would also require proof of a cigarette company CEO’s individual culpability

the stated business model of insurance providers converts preventable deaths and overpriced treatment into shareholder value

hey jeff any idea why “the meeting [between blue origin and trump] was scheduled quickly that morning [of the non-endorsement]”?

Excerpt from bezos op-ed: I would also like to be clear that no quid pro quo of any kind is at work here. Neither campaign nor candidate was consulted or informed at any level or in any way about this decision. It was made entirely internally. Dave Limp, the chief executive of one of my companies, Blue Origin, met with former president Donald Trump on the day of our announcement. I sighed when I found out, because I knew it would provide ammunition to those who would like to frame this as anything other than a principled decision. But the fact is, I didn't know about the meeting beforehand. Even Limp didn't know about it in advance; the meeting was scheduled quickly that morning.
There is no connection between it and our decision on presidential endorsements, and any suggestion otherwise is false.

that’s some wonderful tech history, it’s however completely irrelevant to whether we should expect Facebook to be replaced anytime soon

Since internet usage has been high, Facebook/meta has been on top
