Some insurrectionist trivia for you: Roger Stone reportedly introduced Alex Jones to Trump and arranged for Jones to interview Trump on Infowars during his 2016 campaign. Stone also once called Jones “the single most important voice in the alternative conservative media”.

Wow. Sandy Hook parents' lawyer is revealing that Alex Jones' lawyers sent him the contents of Jones' phone BY MISTAKE.
— Ben Collins (@oneunderscore__) August 3, 2022
"12 days ago, your attorneys messed up and sent me a digital copy of every text" Jones has sent for years.
"You know what perjury is?" the lawyer asks.
Privilege is the utter gall of starting a third political party because you personally don't have to worry if the Republicans regain power.

The USPS is not a corporation. There are no share holders. There is no requirement to turn a profit.

Would you make the Marine Corps turn a profit? How about the Centers For Disease Control?
This makes zero sense unless you are lobbying for one of the private shipping companies https://t.co/xRM5xJpxcR
Six weeks ago, lead on all TV / radio newscasts, and most major news outlets, was "pain at the pump" of gas prices. Was allegedly central economic, political, cultural issue

Symmetrical coverage as prices have gone down?
Not so muchhttps://t.co/t1tsOBY4aC
One way to think about gas prices:
— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) August 1, 2022
10 years ago 10 gallons of gas cost about 1.5 hours' wages for the average worker
3 years ago (pre-pandemic) that was down to only about 1 hour, but that was because of an unsustainable fracking bubble
Today the number is about 1.3
Fun facts: In the first six months of the 1981-82 recession, we lost 1,046k jobs, in the first six months of the 1990-01 recession we lost 690k jobs, in 2001 we lost 761k jobs, in 2007-09, we lost 705k jobs. In 2022 we gained 2,740k jobs.

Making liberals angry:
— CBS News Poll (@CBSNewsPoll) August 2, 2022
A motivator for Reps, particularly MAGA Reps
Reps say they would be more likely to vote for a candidate to make liberals angry, that rises to 69% among Reps who identify as part of MAGA. https://t.co/frLfYI1BmW pic.twitter.com/AZfz8EAgoZ
JD Vance thinks people should stay in violent marriages for the kids, but even he knows that's indefensible.
— Tim Ryan (@TimRyan) July 29, 2022
Vance has had every opportunity to explain his dangerous position. Instead, he's hiding from press. What a coward. pic.twitter.com/eyRWq2iAtg
But where would the politics desks of most major newspapers have been through this past year, without this "everyone knows it's happening" organizing concept ?

"Told" is an interesting choice for a verb here.
GOP leader Kevin McCarthy told Trump to WAIT until after the midterms to announce if he is running https://t.co/NbrR4w6yI7

The MAGA fixation on Fauci remains one of the most curious aspects of that very curious crowd.

idea: a gameshow called Imposter Syndrome where you take 10 senior developers and tell them that one of them is actually just a sales guy who's been taught to say DevOps buzzwords. to win, they have to figure out who the fake dev is. the trick: there is no sales guy

I sometimes think about the fact that about 2% of VC funding goes to female founders and about 1.2% goes to Black founders yet some funds have clearly run out of even mediocre ideas to fund let alone good ones.

VCs poured $5B into scooter startups over the years but missed one crucial lesson from Uber & Lyft. Ride share companies offload ownership & maintenance of cars to drivers. This boosts their financials.

HBO Max may be the best service but WB is possibly the worst run studio. The business is idiot proof largely because smart people like Ted Turner bought up valuable catalogs. If that IP hadn't been acquired (or had been allowed to go into the public domain)...
HBO Max is widely acknowledged to be the best streaming service. And now the execs who bought it are on the verge of dismantling it, simply because they feel like it. Mergers give just a few wealthy people MASSIVE control over what we watch, with disasterous results.
