New: I followed around an undecided New Hampshire Democratic voter who wanted to see every presidential candidate as she makes her decision who to vote for.

All. of. them. latimes.com/politics/story…
Cheri’s also been getting selfies with all the candidates after she goes to their events in New Hampshire, where presidential politics happens at a mere handshake distance from voters: latimes.com/politics/story…
Cheri is extremely serious about policy and process, because politics is life and death to her. One of her top issues is heathcare. latimes.com/politics/story…

Corporate bullying like this is why journalists need to forge ahead with holding the platforms accountable with bills like CJPA.

The platforms have skimmed from our work, bought off publishers with “charitable” grants, then act like bullies the moment they face accountability.
Journalism policy is complicated, and different groups have taken different positions on CJPA. We are supposed to air out those disagreements with civil debate.

But censorship threats like Meta’s have only one goal — to end debate.
Meta couldn’t be bothered to show its face in the two committee hearings this bill has already had in the Assembly, where it passed both with unanimous “yes” votes.

Meta’s ban threat, one day before an Assembly floor vote, is clearly designed to stoke fear, not debate.

I was sitting around today thinking about how you’re not going to be able to find all the intellectuals in one place anymore and concluded that we’ll have to go back to reading magazines or something. techcrunch.com/2023/03/28/twi…
It’s this crap situation where we demolished a lot of the mid-sized publications where you might find interesting writers, and now we’re demolishing the big-sized app where you could find interesting writers, and now starting next month you can find them ?????
What am I supposed to do? Go to cocktail parties?

Hegel was a genius obviously, but what amazing marketing luck that Napoleon was smoking the Prussians at Jena right at the exact same Hegel was finishing his book and realizing he had reached the universal end of human history.
Like Fukuyama made me think the “end of history” was the moment liberal democracy wins everywhere, but for Hegel it’s more like “the end of history is when I, specifically Hegel, realize that Napoleon’s victory has brought mankind to self-realization by me specifically, Hegel”
You may think it’s more complicated than this, and maybe it is. (Do not correct me.) But also, it is not.

Unfortunately, because something in my personality is deeply damaged, the messier this app gets, the more likely I am to use it more.
I don’t read this app to be noble. I work at the newspaper to be noble. I post on Twitter to roll around in filth and pay occult worship to the psychic forces of thumos!
Also because the parody account got suspended, I’m resharing a screenshot of it here, because some comedy martyr out there paid $8 to make this joke.

Texas law, in its own way, requires public schools districts to play a part in helping financially prop up gun manufacturers.

To be eligible for underwriting Texas school bonds, banks have to certify that they don’t refuse to do business with gunmakers. news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/te…
Notable detail under the present circumstances. news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/te…
Seems like any Texas public teachers’ pensions would have required teachers to stay personally invested in gun companies too, at least from this early coverage, but would need to do some more checking. pionline.com/legislation/te…

Jeff Bezos busted unions so that the personal wealth he gained as a shareholder from paying his workers lower wages would, among other things, fund his trip to space.
In the old days you had a bunch of Ford lineworkers up in Michigan paying NASA to do it.
UAW put Neil Armstrong on the moon and people really did rally around it!
