I cut film and tv

- There's nothing magic or brilliant about this, the fact that it frequently works is a reflection of conservatives' absolute control of the media environment
- “Increasingly often, [Trump] ends up backing down and simply declaring a win. His opponents appear to be catching on.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/u...
- Qatar sending "us" a Boeing, a little like us sending Japan a Dreamcast. Surely they have enough of those already
- now just imagining if we got trump into dreamcast. imagine him saying "shenmue"
- Ewing's Republican opponent ran hard on anti trans bathroom stuff. Turns out to not really be a winner for Republicans after all
- It makes me so happy this article exists. Why indeed does the Empire keep payroll in physical ingots? They couldn't figure out direct deposit? tomasrotta.com/2022/03/09/c...
- Problems with coinage was an important factor in the collapse of the Roman empire even though they had the technology to implement many better solutions. Seems like a cultural and political problem for the empire not a technological one.
- Is there an explanation for the Pete Rose thing other than virtue signaling to the big fascist President that cheating and corruption is a good and patriotic thing to do?
- fwiw i had no idea what the public opinion polls on rose looked like so i checked. the most recent i could find was in 09 when the public was 60-35 in favor of reinstatement (and presumably induction into the HOF). MLB may have some market research that shows fans actually want to see this?
- trump and the oil industry can pull every lever they have to try to save the internal combustion engine but its king canute commanding the tides. the only question is whether killing ICE will also kill the US car industry, who are now already years behind China technologically.
- GM has a new battery chemistry it thinks will let it cut the cost of its electric pickups by around $6000. www.forbes.com/sites/alanoh...
- The Republican strategy will rest on rigging elections and on control of the information environment so voters never find out what they're doing
- wow trump talking about raising taxes on the rich was just bullshit and not something that was ever close to happening? weird! this only happens every single time and yet the press repeats his lies every time anyway. why is that?
- anyone reading this social post would erroneously conclude that she had said something anti-semitic, when she hasn't. Don't print lies in the newspaper.
- In terms of the number of Americans affected, and the direct power of the office, New York City Mayor is one of the 10 most powerful elected offices in the country. Cuomo getting it would be a huge setback not only to the city but the entire country.
