I have a theory, but you're not gonna like it. Biden might be looking ahead to the 2024 election and thinking "It'd be a lot easier for me to win this if Trump runs again, and he can't do that from behind bars."

It's also kind of an inherent problem with democracy: Politicians have far more to gain if there is a problem and they're seen addressing it than they have to lose by getting rid of someone else's solution, so it's in their best interests to quietly kill programs that help people so they can...

I mean, that is the whole point of battle flags, isn't it? Even the bad guys know that both sides benefit from both sides knowing who's on their side and who's on the opposing side.

Because the system doesn't actually want to do anything to Jones. They want to look pretty and do as little as possible, because it lets them have their cake and eat it too. The bullshit they can't get away with saying out loud themselves continues to reach its intended audience, and at the same...

Defying a subpoena is itself a crime, yes? The kind they can bust in and drag you off in handcuffs for?

I've seen pictures of the box Valve ships these things in. They make it really obvious what's in them; they might as well print "HEY THIEVES, THIS IS THE ONE YOU WANT" on it.

It wouldn't so much be an appeal as saying "Hey, you literally don't have the authority to make unilateral rulings on anything, now sit down and shut up before it gets you in more trouble."

I agree about the takeover thing, but the cheapest EV on the US market right now is the Chevy Bolt EV, which starts at over $40,000. I rather doubt a startup would have been able to undercut that price by now under any circumstances, especially if they're stuck making do without Musk's investment.

I wonder if there's also a difference between what audiences in the two countries want out of a Sonic movie, or a movie in general. How well did the first movie do? I could absolutely see Japanese audiences not being receptive to the generic "live-action/CG revival of a famous cartoon" formula...

Well there you go. Even accounting for inflation, I find it hard to believe Jones has made more money off his internet show in just one decade than Limbaugh did from a decades-long career on the radio plus however many books he sold. But then, they wouldn't be demanding it from him if he didn't...

The real revelation here is that he actually has that much money, or at least that a judge believes he does or can get it. Like, really? This one guy with... it wasn't even a radio show, was it? Like on actual, legal, FCC-approved stations? It was some internet-only thing, surely. He somehow...

Facebook proved pretty definitively that anonymity isn't even remotely a necessary component of this formula.

That would require either of those entities to be capable of actually doing something right, so there's that myth busted right away.

We should be so lucky as to have Republicans without any actual policy.

Arab Spring 2.0?

Watch Nintendo's next system be another lateral move that discards everything that made the Switch special in favor of chasing some shiny new toy that's gotten their attention.

And we let this guy be in charge of his own extragovernmental space program. If this dude lands on another planet before NASA does, he's definitely going to claim it for himself, international treaties be damned.

Twitter really has radicalized everyone.

Especially if the media covers the by-elections as extensively as ours covered all those special elections we had back in 2017. I still think we learned a valuable lesson from that, which is that downticket elections should be staggered rather than taking place on a single day every two years so...

I too want this, if only because I realize it would effectively mean politicians would just stop running ads altogether.
