Conclusions of CFB Week 1 Saturday: 1. Hang it up, Dabo. You are done. 2. Michigan got a highway robbery done by the Big Ten for them. 3. UCLA looked impressive. Chesney is good.

I love you Kyle, but fuck this defeatist shit. We can, and we will take this country back and actually achieve America’s promise.

If they’re too scared to show their faces, they’re too scared to stand up against a united opposition. The anniversary of this country is a crisis, but also an opportunity to take America back from these clowns and rebuild it better than before.

Failing to teach regulatory capture in civics classes was one of the biggest failures of the education system. People then blame lots of things on “the government” and yet don’t see how capital is controlling government to make bad decisions that aid big corporations.

Is there a better NBA Finals sideshow than Charles Barkley doing Inside the NBA for the finals in San Antonio? I’m sure the ladies there will be hounding him. 😭

Yes, if prices for LLM’s reflect reality of consumption. Problem is tokens should be 10x higher than they are now to reflect actual cost and environmental impact. This would kill the AI bubble but so what. Then a rational set of use cases can emerge. Look up what Ed Zitron has written about LLM’s.

I think the US should actually enforce its already-existing price gouging laws and then enhance them by saying sites like eBay and StockX can’t charge more than 15% over RRP for electronics or clothes, with an embargo of two years. Scalping should be illegal

His proposal puts both a windfall tax on oil barrels and a windfall tax on the companies themselves. That was buried under the headline and in the article.

Brad Johnson@climatebrad.hillheat.com

It's just a tax cut for oil companies. that's all it is

Deeply unsurprising that the headline is "calls to end gas and diesel tax" And not "calls for 50% windfall tax per barrel of oil" Both are true but focusing on one paints him as misguided, almost corporate friendly. The other highlights corporations paying what they owe.

The oil companies would be taxed higher with his proposed tax on windfall profits. Maybe middle class people should pay less tax and billionaires should pay more when they have most of the money? How is this brain dead populist again?

Looking at some social media creators in #allforCITY is one of the many reasons why I’m rooting for the AI bubble to pop. It isn’t worth people in Festus to have ruined drinking water just for this slop.

If Jamal Mosley is allowed to coach game 7, it’s insanely stupid by Orlando. This is so bad he should never be allowed to coach or work in the NBA again.

My gas and groceries are up 40%, my health insurance is up 50%, and the president is covering up an elite pedophilia ring. But at least there won't be trans athletes competing in a 2028 Olympic sport that I won't be watching.

This is the same as the people who fare jump to save $3 on the Subway. If you’re low income, there’s usually ways for the system to pay your way on transit.

Some people need to stfu on the CITY Reddit. *cough*slcp*cough*. If you have nothing nice to say about Edu after he has suffered the worst loss of his life, then say nothing at all. I understand the passion some have for social issues but this is not the time, nor is this the place.

I’m saying this on the Sky because some on the hellsite are using this as an opportunity to crack all supporters groups here when it is clearly only 2-3 people maximum who feel that way. Please stfu.

This article is from the main paper for the city with the Washington Metro, which is only matched in the US for being a great public transport system by the NYC Subway. Article doesn’t even mention public transport. 🤦🏻‍♂️

For some of us who live in rural areas, fossil fuels are required for being able to get to the nearest large city for work. I am all for electric vehicles but the cost of them has to decrease for more availability to working class people.

Alex Ip 葉清霖@alexip718.com

As a person who lives car-free, the effect this has on me is negligible. And I hope this spurs more people to demand walkable, bikable, transit-friendly places to live. Fossil fuels have always been a threat to national security and our pocketbooks

The smoke is from the sport of baseball itself. As a Cardinals fan with a team rebuilding, this is the time for a lockout if it gets a salary cap and floor, as well as better revenue sharing.

Hey Mets owner. We see smoke.
