If someone is reading the National Enquirer and thinks it’s actual news, they are already an idiot and nothing revealed in this trial is going to smarten them up.
In the 80s, the National Enquirer had a ‘seance’ to ask the ghost of Marilyn Monroe if someone had murdered her and who the murderer was. They then reported this as if it wad an actual source and named Bobby Kennedy the killer. It’s not like this is a real news source in any way, and it never has been.
I can only go by the actual numbers I’ve seen, and it seems like most articles are cherry picking, at least so far. Saying ‘popularity is soaring’ isn’t the same as hard numbers.
For example, the NBA could claim their popularity is soaring during the NBA Finals, but their actual numbers are dwarfed the the Super Bowl. A lot of this is spin. But if the WNBA numbers actually do increase, then sure, more money would be coming.
It may go down in the WNBA. Caitlin Clark isn’t the first player who was expected to make the WNBA popular (Maya Moore, Brittany Griner, etc). It’s far too early to tell if she will have any impact on WNBA viewership.
The issue is that NIL money is also a way for boosters to pay players to stay instead of the shadowy back door deals that used to happen. Now NIL just allows boosters to pay players through a legitimate channel.
The article says the women’s college tournament ‘dwarfed the men’s tournament’, but the ratings numbers I’ve seen show the men’s tournament has had 5x the viewership. So someone’s not doing their research. Plus, this is college, not the pros. If the WNBA viewership increases, then,yes, more revenue should come with the next media contract. But that remains to be seen.
I wasn’t aware RFK Jr was even still running.
I heard about the Aaron Roger’s thing but honestly at this point, RFK Jr isn’t a blip on the radar. He’d have to work his way up to blip.
The 21,000+ US border agents must love hearing every day that they don’t exist and aren’t aware of massive armies of people streaming across the border. They must be invisible!
Facts never matter, people who have never even been 100 miles of the border just make up wild stories and claim them as truth.
“Why make our food better when we could just charge more?”
This won’t end well.

So, less than 20 truck drivers…driving semis, I guess. What exactly do they think they are going to do, besides discover there’s no army of people coming across the border? Even if there were, they’d have no ability to do anything beyond what the trained border patrol and US Army actually does. These people really are living in a cosplay fantasy land.
Despite what Wall Street thinks, layoffs are almost always the sign of a poorly run company, especially when they do it multiple years in a row, and really especially when they do it during good economic years.
Data from the last 40 years, when layoffs started becoming commonplace, show that companies who lay off in multiple years, especially at the end of the year, see two things happen: their stock price goes up, and they are out of business within 10 years after starting the practice.
These numbers are just averages, but play the odds if you invest in stocks: don’t buy stocks of companies that lay people off, just as you wouldn’t bet on an NFL team that fires its coach every other year.
You really shouldn’t answer questions you clearly don’t know the answer to. There a dozens of ways for apps to report your license status. Most people just don’t know about it.
You can look at a MS Word doc someone sends you and detect the license. Apps can phone home all the time to report your status. Just because you’ve never noticed ot or no one ever caught you doesn’t mean there’s ‘no way’.
I honestly am baffled when people take time to type this type of crap out and post it. You clearly do not know, but you posted it anyway AS IF IT WAS FACT, despite it being provably false.
On top of giving poor recommendations. Nobody who uses Photoshop and GIMP professionally would think GIMP is a suitable replacement for Photoshop.
Just like his magic ‘215’ weight. That dude is easily over 300 pounds.
I go out of my way not to buy from Amazon. It’s not some altruistic move - about 3 or 4 years ago I started noticing how little oversight Amazon was placing on the products listed, and you’d be lucky if anything (especially tech) was actually what you’d ordered and not some knockoff or used.
I think I’ve only bought one or two things from Amazon (other than digital books) in that time frame. I always look to buy directly from the vendor, if I can.
What concerns me is that I’ve started noticing more and more companies seem to only sell on Amazon. I see this as a mistake, as it hands over more control to one sales channel. I understand a new company doing this, but companies who are well established should maintain their own sales channel directly with their customers, even if they also sell on Amazon.
Recently I bought items from Wahl, Nike and Anker, directly from them. Wahl has products you can only get from their site. I always feel more comfortable just ordering directly from the company when I can, and I notice some companies seem to get that.
If I order directly from the company, I also get better support. I have an actual order number from the company, and correspondence/confirmation from the company. Special deals work better (the same deals on Amazon sometimes have hiccups).
I like Daniel’s constant work to improve/add features to PixelFed, but he also tends to rush stuff out and then have to fix it later. So personally, I would wait until he’s had time to figure out any flaws and bugs.
Well, to be fair, Zelle sucks, but point taken.
Twitter communities have been around a good while. As in, I even wrote a search app that found new communities as people created them, and people used my app (and other apps) for about a year or so, and then eventually Twitter added that functionality themselves, so I deprecated my app, and then about year or so later, Elon bought Twitter and communities died from lack of use/ support.
In other words, this was around for a while before Elon.
The article mentions fighting hidden fees,which is good, but they really need to address TicketMaster’s monopoly in the process.
