Totally something you see in countries that aren't experiencing rapid democratic backsliding

It really is fascinating how overt it now is that there are certain - really not controversial - ideas that you aren’t allowed to say on television.

The Chicago Bears do not belong in Northwest Indiana As a years-long battle for a new stadium continues, the franchise’s preferred option of a stadium across state lines is not one that would go over well for most of the team’s fans.

Lost a lot of respect on this one. This a great answer if you want to be a follower.

If you want to lead, then fucking lead. Take the hits, even when it sucks. Do the right thing because it’s the right thing to do.

I’ll never ask anyone to do something I’m not willing to do myself.

She introduces a chicken or the egg argument with this kind of answer. If you want journalists to leave, force them to follow you elsewhere. Is she unaware that this what MSM already does with Truth Social?

It may be a predictable set of games, but they'd be long-awaited additions nonetheless!

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube.

As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people local newspaper reporters are rarified elites instead of ink-stained wretches driving their Honda Civic to a crime scene so you know don’t have to rely on Nextdoor and the police press release.

Am I the only person that thinks the difference between these two candidates is rather negligible? Like this is not the primary for people to be pouring their energy into when there are plenty of legitimate center vs. left faceoffs happening

Which U.S. states have produced the most NHL players? While American NBA players have originated from all across the country, most American NHL players come from one of a few states.

It is pretty wild! New York, Massachusetts, Michigan and Minnesota dominate US output in the NHL -

There have literally been two players in NHL history that were born in Vermont, and both of them are retired

For Jonny, Israel simply being the place where Radiohead got their first break is enough to not only absolve them of genocide, but to contradict so much of the band's explicitly political work!

Soldier Field sucks, but there are literally no Bears fans on the Illinois side of the border that are happy about this idea.

NWI is a massive pain in the ass to get to for most people living in the Chicago area, and it sure as hell won't be "20 minutes up the road" on gameday.
