Chances are you've been bombarded by political ads lately. Many are coming from PACs supporting Ken Paxton (who badly trailed James Talarico in fundraising). In the last few weeks he's received *over 130 million* in PAC funding. That's a whopping number!

Cata is always must-read, but this is especially stellar work – not only on what makes Cavan Sullivan special, but dissecting the many factors which make it increasingly tricky to manage expectations around a top American soccer prospect. The definitive piece on the topic. An instant Cata classic.

Damn it just occurred to me that Seb baited that red card coming to the defense of a black man. The meme becomes realer every day

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

Which is why I encourage people to use social media to expand the network of people that they read. Identify the voices that you trust and pay attention to what they write or report. You don't even have to agree with them all of the time, you just have to be able to trust them.

Part of the NYT's problem is that they mistake a neutral viewpoint for credibility, but you don't have to be neutral to be credible. You can actually say whatever you want so long as people can trust that you are doing your best to report what's *true*.

Liberals Must Fight The New York Times’ Monopoly Too

This is a good read. I'd be interested in people's theories about *why* the NYT is this way, but this reminds me of something else that's sort of talked about in the article, which is that you can get your news from highly opinionated sources that are still entirely credible.

The paper’s editorial vision is out of step with the robust liberalism needed today.

Liberty Biberty has barricaded himself inside a courtroom in Clark County Family Court. Eight confirmed hostages, including the judge overseeing his custody dispute. Situation is fluid

The use of someone's likeness after their death should require the affirmative consent of someone while they're alive or every dead person who someone finds useful will be turned into a puppet, or worse still an AI avatar that every moron assumes is basically the same thing as the dead person.

With his estate's permission...which they will almost always get if enough cash is thrown at the heirs or the administrator of the estate, who can basically never say no unless they want to be accused of breaching their fiduciary duty.

It’s really fucked up we told generations of kids they had to take out personal loans in order to improve their lives as we cut funding to schools and when that turned out to be bullshit the general consensus has been “fuck those kids”

Not "Trump voters." This man in particular, who the article is about. No one is trying to sympathize with racists who repeated lies about Haitians.

He didn't vote to have someone kill themselves under his truck. No reasonable person thinks that even though it's fun to come on here and say stuff like that.

Also, someone killing themselves under his truck is hardly a foreseeable outcome of a vote.

He is a victim, just not the same as the man who died and nobody is saying he is. It's okay to preserve some nuance over these things even though it feels good and gets more likes to be strident.

Many people on this site are capable of feeling compassion both for this man and the man who died. Alas, many are not and their replies sure are getting a lot of likes.

I'm sure it feels good to post this but it's not true, not about this man

He doesn't deserve to be haunted by being the instrument of someone else's death because of a vote, let alone one which he felt was reasonable

Desperately want to interview the coach who benched Cavan Sullivan for the first two months of this season, played him on the wrong side for another month and then got fired only for the kid to immediately become the biggest story in American soccer
