Priest. Normie posts. If I want to hear theories on economics, I'll read a book.

Notice the subtle rhetorical twist here, which I appreciate (because that's how they get nefarious things done): "Anonymity is not a fundamental right," she says, because she cannot use the word "privacy" and expect people to accept the message. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqkx8gx4xxrpd5dd9dfmur5znsxggh5g9qn7a9k958ae9a7ndyvvkqqspnzxhu2wc9j9uctpjv8mucxn347xus9paday0cf4nxz4cxc0ktqscuq04n

In the end, I hope Ross Ulbricht is freed soon. Not because he's innocent -- he's guilty of some rather cold-blooded stuff, like murder for hire, in my view -- but because he's already served enough time. We have a terrible tendency in this country to want to "make an example" out of people without considering what is just for the individual, and the end-result is that nobody's really deterred from anything.

I see nothing here about divestment; TikTok won't do that, as they've stated multiple times. Nothing short of an enforced ban will push them towards a sale. Rather, Trump is going to try and use this as some kind of leverage, possibly with the CCP. This is what it always comes down to with him, and I can't see much gain coming from any of this. Best just to take it out behind the shed right now.
The 'ole TikTak ban is now off as Trump thinks he can use it as leverage with the CCP. He can't, and we'll be back to square one soon. In the meantime: let the brain rot flow, I guess.
There's a legitimate argument to be made in defense of TikTok contra the ban, but the really tasty part is that those emotionally impacted by the death of the platform are completely incapable of making it. Completely on-brand.

Finally went to the new grocery store in my area. My test for grocery stores: 1) Does the produce look fresh? I won't buy any, but fresh produce means a good grocery store. 2) Do you sell 4-pound cans of peanut butter? It was a yes on both. I shall return.

He was the last of the great ones. Those old voices who could hold an entire broadcast all by themselves with humor, with stories, with wisdom. Grateful I prioritized listening to the Milwaukee broadcast last season. RIP, Bob. https://m.primal.net/NjZK.png

As much as I love clowning on TikTok and their users, here's the reality: ByteDance will sell. Maybe not their algorithm, but they'll sell a name that is worth nothing to them stateside if they remain on course. Someone will shell out the billions and the brain rot will continue. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzp6xkv5v7gwcjzjkx370jhk7y8pk5rtrxkgx95fstnvzpqfuyqa8fqqsx5rjtsdn7m60pa0cqjv5nlr2z85s2j66m460kvftcuzr2vayg6sq8rmd0a
What did you think? It's on my eventual watchlist.
Managed a quick snap before it all came down this past weekend. The volunteers do great work!
Less than a month before pitchers and catchers report. Cubs still need a closer. Sox still need a team. Yankees aren't any better. But who cares. Baseball >>> Other Sportsball.

What's the difference between the Bears and the Packers? The Packers got to play an extra game.

Only nine (9) days until the country is freed from TikTok, at least temporarily.

One hidden little nugget: most priests ordained after a certain year can't stand Notre Dame football and actively root against them, mostly because of the "fumbles" regarding Catholic identity at the university. This University of Illinois grad from Nebraska says: finish strong, Penn State.
I like feature-length documentaries. Their primary purpose is to get you to care about something you normally wouldn't, via a good narrative. I appreciate that.
