Do this in the US and I guarantee you that a certain segment of the population will say they're eyesores (as opposed to the vast expanse of parking lot)

Disney chooses the side of money. They just miscalculated how many subscribers come from the alt-right Twitter bots.

They also don't report subscriber numbers so we won't get any picture of the impact until their earnings report

People are confused on the "billions lost" number. That's the amount the value of the company had dropped based on stock, about 2% drop this week... but still up 22% YOY.

I doubt they are feeling much backlash. But in general, I would be very choosy when giving money to a megacorp in this climate

Sarah Palin on SNL, introduced in a cold open but by Tina Fey. That was 17 years ago, I don't know at what point so much of the country decided our leader being a giant whiny jerk was cool.

That won't stop them from designating someone/some org as "funding" them and to be investigated.

Felt like Spencer Cox said something similar when he was so proud that Utahns were holding vigils instead of rioting. Weird ass thing to say.

I can't fathom why they think the two situations are remotely similar.

Happened to a couple of my friends - on the right track, then get to college and drop out, and just kind of spin their wheels going nowhere for at least few years.

Unfortunately these days there's a wide variety of online communities ready to take people like that into their grasp.

Tyler Robinson, 22, named as Charlie Kirk's murder suspect - follow live Tyler Robinson's father recognised his son from pictures released by the FBI - he then turned him in with the help of a friend, a clergy member.

Jfc you aren't kidding. And just throws in an Antifa mention like it's relevant at all. Journalistic malpractice.

There's millions of people on Bluesky. And X. You're gonna find some nutters. You'll feel better about the world if you judge individuals and not groups. Like at the person you're responding to, their posts. David immediately was disgusted by the violence.

Boneset

The boneset is a hit, and very easy to grow. I planted it this year and it's very healthy with just a bit of supplemental watering at the start. It's been ignored by rabbits and deer as well.

It's attracting a lot more flies and wasps than bees or butterflies, not that that's a bad thing!

This is why I’m optimistic about energy innovation:

It took the global solar industry 68 years to reach 1 terawatt (TW) of installed power, from the first commercial silicon solar cell in 1954 to 2022.

The next 1TW was delivered in only two additional years from 2023 to 2024.
