Most of those rich Dems are hedging their bets in case the orange Mussolini decides to name himself emperor.

we need a new model that supports disaggregated journalism. maybe royalties tracked like streaming — pay $25-$50/m and pro-rate the $ based on views: 1) instead of subscriptions because there are too many = cost prohibitive and 2) allows even single viewings w/o paywalls and email-capture systems.

Yes this is one reason why the rich need to be taxed.

I know 😁 Please forgive me, I couldn't resist being a smartass.

And, inexplicably, the undead remnants of James Carville?

I mean, I don't know how you can look at what he was writing at Pandagon 20 years ago and what he's doing now, who he's in conversation with and what agendas he's supporting, and *not* immediately see that he's tacked significantly to the right over the course of his career

Ezra Klein seems to have a niche as "conservative, not crazy" but somehow that's about as left as the mainstream media goes these days.

Don't know if you know her work, but Susan George had similar things to say about this in the 1990s in her essay "How to Win the War of Ideas: Learning from the Gramscian Right" www.denknetz.ch/wp-content/u...

Rich "Democrats" are mostly donating to centrists to keep the Democrat party from getting any radical ideas. Santa Claus for leftists is never going to happen.

Fuck, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer could fix this with their personal wealth alone.

And this very much connects to the Dobson news. As a Peace Corps volunteer in South Africa I tagged along to a free workshop for teachers that turned out to be from FotF. Don't really even remember the details, except that it sucked, but there's always money in the RW banana stand.

hoo boy yeah i empathize

I’m pretty confident if we motivated our poaster talent, we could absolutely break the way too online core of the current right and get them to do publicly all sorts of bananas stuff to alienate most of the population. Most of the staff at all levels of the right live half their free time on X

Incentive: you get to live in a free nation maybe

The incentive is that he doesn't have to deal with the Bolsheviks.

He wants tax cuts from the libs

Once again asking myself what Tom Steyer has been doing with his oodles of cash, besides sulking after the 2020 primary

Likely that just a few wealthy Democrat congresscritters could bankroll that. This just in: But they won't.

I saw a thing where you can buy tickets to come see a scientist lecture at the pub like it’s a trivia night.

*they think this has bugged me every single time i get a notification

But they're rich no matter what. Why would they want things to change?

You can, subscribe to the Guardian and the Philly Inquirer.

Liberals have no problem with wealth. Leftists might get an annoyed audience.

deep cut! A different time.
