@PalmerLuckey it’s just text messages. But ya it’s killer marketing

@Frasier67Blank @jamano1871 @BrandonLBradfor @steveinmerida if u think a party whose platform is so repellently evil that when polled the general public *refuses to believe it could possibly be true* would retain its “natural advantage” upon said public’s forced exposure to the reality of said policy platform, then yea sure i guess

@BumrahBachi @Durrrpartment @alexlawson2001 @SilvermanJacob @rabois ok

@Durrrpartment @BumrahBachi @alexlawson2001 @SilvermanJacob @rabois yes. similarly, i should be able to go to home depot and buy a toaster oven that has a 25% risk of burning my house down, if that’s the one i want. i will do my toaster oven due diligence and if anyone doesn’t and then their house burns down, well, that’s their fault

@nearcyan what was the prompt? or the overall goal, at least?

@Bonecondor @beast_ico it’s people seeking a discreet outlet for a (normal and universal to humanity) part of themselves that society has told them is inappropriate to publicly acknowledge

@Conblob NYT isn’t doing too many diner safaris these days

@_FlipMan @acquisizioni even without the source, just zoom in p much anywhere in the images and it’s immediately evident they’re generated

@bubblebabyboi don’t forget about “community adjusted ebitda”

@alexdphan @DanielleFong they hired the guy who designed the trader joes checkout counter

@JessePeltan they added substantially more solar capacity in 2024 alone than the United States has cumulatively installed, ever

@lizrhoffman congress didn’t “think about doing it and didn’t because it wouldn’t raise much money,” they didn’t do it because Kyrsten Sinema, who was their 50th vote for the IRA, insisted it be removed from the bill if the dems wanted her cooperation

@ShannonJean It was supposed to be part of the IRA, Bidens signature bill. But dems only had 50 senators at the time and so couldn’t afford to lose a single vote. Here’s some coverage from the time about how wall st won that battle

@ShannonJean yes, there is an enormous pot of money devoted to keeping this loophole in existence. ironically, if trump is actually serious about closing it (doubt), gop politicians terror at crossing him might be what finally gets it across the finish line

@ShannonJean It’s been around for ages- attempts to close it have repeatedly failed, most recently when dems wanted to close it but senator kyrsten sinema, their 50th vote and one of the largest wall st cash recipients in the party, insisted it be removed or she’d vote against the bill

@bobbyfijan polished concrete can be quite nice, but depending on what’s in their mixture it might finish differently
