No one is talking about him because he retired 15 years ago and missed ~4 of his last 6 seasons, which is almost like retiring about 20 years ago.

He didn't win a ring and retired 20 years ago. Are there other players who get regular love with those rough stats?

Don't project your obsession as how other people think.

The nice thing is, it makes it easy to identify anyone who doesn't publicly stay they won't do it now and get fired by Hesgeth, if they don't do that, then they are absolutely selling their LLM models and data to trump without any safety or security restrictions as that drunk Hesgeth and Trump made clear this week.

Open ai? Gemeni? Not a peep from them about wanting to keep your rights safe and no complaints from Hesgeth means they sold your constitutional rights off.

Well not Anthropic anymore because they refused to be part of the surveillance apparatus for Trump and fascism. So they had their contracts revoked today.

Consistent, as always, the NYT cheerleading a piece where someone who has supported fascism, misogyny, constitutional violations, war, cheating, lying and theft makes the smallest attempt to do something anyone else would be expected to.

The same approach that put them into breathlessly writing articles about Liz Cheney as if that was meaningful to outcome of the presidential election.

The entire press release comes from the angle of students having accountability for peaceful protests but speaks not at all to the accountability of police to follow the constitution and other basic laws they have been shown repeatedly in countless jurisdictions to have less than admirable compliance with.

A neutral press release would have also included that the police are accountable for ensuring the rights of all citizens including minors and taking extreme prejudice against escalating to violence. That last part is key, as they have been shown repeatedly to not do so.

This school board is supporting an atmosphere where unnecessary escalations of violence is presented as the norm and where the two parties have unequal duty to the laws that govern interaction.

Look, if you can't support the absurd concentration of wealth at the organizational level how are you going to keep your head on straight that this is all normal and acceptable at the systemic level? Next you're going to say that wealth should not be based on whatever the next charlatan shits out at Davos or TedX but actually sustainably improving the world for humans?

Keep the faith, surely those gains will trickle down soon.

Same Op, someone gave me one of his books once and it was just sausage remade of the actual works and effort of other with nothing interesting added. A fool and his money was the one lesson he did seem to have internalized...

I'll end this easily won war in, 24 hours tops.

 

Surely this will be the team where Harden isn't a toxic, defense avoiding premadonnna?

App used to automatically load posts from what I recall but no longer seems to even under "all" categories so it's certainly not a "tiny communities/no new posts” thing. If I scroll back to the top of "all" and drag down to refresh, new content loads

Boost/Lemmy/android/pixel8a but seems like a server issues unless I've missed a setting somewhere?

 

Right wing media and think tanks consistently blitz the news and press when tax increases are discussed, threatened or, in the recnent instance of Mamdani, the new more progressive mayor of NY, that progressive taxation policy drives the rich to leave.

I wanted to share this article about the UK media outlets misleading, inaccurate and over representation of coverage here of the identical issue as the same schlock fear mongering without any data is done there as in the US. I assume the playbook is the same in Canada, Australia and elsewhere but would be interested to hear from those better informed.

Coordinated, well funded attacks on critical democratic infrastructure are not coincidence globally, they are the playbook.

As someone >90th percentile in height and >75th percentile in weight for the US, I've found in the last 5 years I now no longer fit into most "Large" size clothing and need to buy more "Medium" sized clothing. I haven't lost/gained weight nor shrunk(that I'm aware of). Statistically, numerically and culturally this seems strange.

Anyone else find sizes that "should" or "used to" fit have morphed and you now shop different sizes where your body size hasn't changed?

OregonLive is known for gating links after the fact, so here's the important bit for folks living under the Sinclair or Nexstar umbrellas:

"If you live in a broadcast region run by the Sinclair or Nexstar media companies, you can only watch the full Tuesday episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Hulu (free trial) streaming the day after it airs, or you can watch Jimmy Kimmel’s opening monologue and more clips from the show on YouTube shortly after it airs (this should be some time after 8:30 p.m. Pacific Time on Tuesday)."

I assume the company, regardless of its home nation, would issues new shares for the new market and the income from equity issued would be added to the overall corporate balance sheet.

I ask; isn't this essentially, for current shareholders, a dilution? While opening new markets is generally positive for growth, existing shareholders get no stake in the new issued shares right? Existing shares they have don't gain in value at all from the price of another trade/exchange value right? Are there share classes where maybe new issuance would actually make them increase in value?

Own shares in a foreign market that I think will expand to the US soon and wanted to make sure I understood impact.
