Yep - I remember being on the school playground and my friend, Billy, telling me that JFK had been shot

I thought foreign countries paid the tariffs. How does dropping the tariffs help me - the poor consumer⁉️

Huh.

Trump dropped the tariffs on coffee, beef, and tropical fruit to LOWER PRICES.

I thought other countries paid for those?

I read it was closer to 60%

How is it that a press that never missed Bill Clinton chat up one woman at a cocktail party, or Barack Obama sneak one fucking drag, or Joe Biden stub his toe, missed Trump having Thanksgiving with fucking Epstein? Crackerjack reporting there.

The America First guy has brought in 566 foreign workers during his 5 years in office to work at his companies instead of hiring Americans. And counting.

I’m not saying it’s a good business model… but I can picture the slide deck that the new CEO presented to the board. Great story… you’re hired … we will see in 3 years how it goes.

I’ve lived through the results of the slide decks.

I used to say the trick to being a turnaround artist is to stop…

I think they believe Verizon can exist just fine with AI chat bots and the mobile app. Get rid of people. Also get rid of the overhead of brick and mortar stores - sell franchises.

Service at Verizon is very different now - try to get through to the global help desk. Used to be amazing

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

🎯‼️

Jeffrey Epstein Says Bill Clinton Was 'Never On the Island' Dead sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein said former President Bill Clinton "never" visited his so-called "Epstein Island," according to newly released emails on Wednesday.

So many crickets tonight on both sides of the aisle.

Do y’all know how many republicans & democrats based their HRC hate on Epstein bs?

I gotta give the GOP credit. The $Billion they spent over the better part of a decade to trash the Clintons was well $ spent.

Well done @chrislhayes.bsky.social

My wife gives me scary looks whenever A Man Needs A Maid comes on…

Don’t tell that to me or my oral surgeon… who prescribed 600mg ibuprofen after my surgery

I’m glad JD (not MD) Vance didn’t do the procedure

Next Novembe, remember there are more women who have credibly accused Donald Trump of rape than people charged with voter fraud.

Cognitive dissonance is powerful —

They’ll either

- Look away because it’s to painful to reconcile evidence with belief

- Turn on him

- Find a new excuse to forgive him

I bet on the last one.

… the major capital costs were incurred when OTA television spectrum was reallocated to force broadcasters to digital (SD and HDTV). That happened early 2000s. Prior to that, once a broadcaster was in - there were low capital expenditures.

You misunderstand. Once a broadcaster was in the market in the early 50s - they basically had no competition because the barriers to entry were so high. That reduced their need for capital.

In a previous life, I designed chipsets for broadcast video routers and switches.

…

… News with Sherman Skolnick in the early 70s - there were approximately 12 other viewers

Radio was the same AM radio then the spectrum broadened to FM

Now there’s essentially unlimited bandwidth due to YouTube and social media - and cost of entry for podcasting is low

It’s economics.

I don’t agree. What “liberated” TV from capital was barriers to market entry. This was driven by two things - limited number of channels and cost to create a presence. ABC, CBS, NBC in - and no one else.

This changed somewhat in the early 70s with UHF spectrum. I remember watching Underground …

This is me
