Am I the only one who has always been weirded out by this guy? He gives off a vibe of having a thin veneer of nice guy, but under it is an unhappy guy who hates doing this stuff. Plus, his smile is creepy.
I don’t know if he hates it, but it’s definitely tied to something almost compulsive:
His mother urged him to go to college, but he dropped out of East Carolina University after two weeks. Instead of going to class, he spent most of his time on campus editing videos in his car.
“That’s all I ever talked about at school. I thought I was a freak of nature,” he told content creators and podcasters Colin and Samir in September. “People would tell me, ‘All you do is talk about YouTube videos. You’re too obsessed with YouTube. Get a life…’”
…In past interviews, Donaldson has said he studied the YouTube recommendation algorithm and other creators’ stats meticulously to come up with a recipe for making his videos popular.
Woah that’s ininteresting. He specifically gamed the algorithm to get popular, then probably didnt know exactly what to do at that point. No wonder he comes across as disingenuous.
Senators are a state wide office and so aren’t impacted by gerrymandering. Them electing republican senators and democratic governors requires some split ticket voting.
The unfortunate fact is that Hamas’s brutality is rightly put on the back burner until Israel’s current level of genocide is no longer killing hundreds of people per day.
It’s likely that if Israel stops and leaves Palestinians alone (including not meddling in their politics!); hamas will get taken care of by Palestinians themselves.
Israel’s actions are what gave hamas power (funding during the last election, a decade or two ago,) and what keep them in power (genocide.)
Keep in mind that executive orders can be easily rolled back by the next chief executive without going through the legislature. Executive orders are a tool that can be used for good, as in this case, but it’s just something to keep in mind.
The reports called on the EPA to take “appropriate corrective action” in response to the findings. In one case, the inspector general noted that supervisors who violate the Whistleblower Protection Act should be suspended for at least three days.
The reports focus only on the retaliation claims. The inspector general is expected to issue reports in the future about the whistleblowers’ scientific allegations.
Under the orange asshole’s reign.
Don’t ever forget what Trump did, because he will do worse if he’s elected again.
Their allegations, which detailed industry pressure that continued under the administration of President Joe Biden and pointed fingers at career officials who still worked for the EPA, were the subject of a 10-part series I published in The Intercept.
“It’s been four years since we first started raising concerns about what was happening, and we haven’t seen a resolution yet,” Gallagher said. “We haven’t gotten assurance that the concerns we’ve been raising will be fixed.”
It’s because on the surface it looks like the classic bullshit “both sides” claim. Where one side is clearly worse but they try to make it seem like both are similar.
Not sure if this is different to be honest. The Rs have been trying to undermine the EPA for decades, there’s a long history there that shouldn’t be ignored even if recent D admins haven’t been great.
I don’t have the time to do a deeper dive at the moment, likely others don’t want to even bother, so they just downvote since a good 90% of the time the both sides type responses are disingenuous.
The news cycles manufacture* polarization so people think there is a huge difference between both parties, and there really isn't. We've gone so far right, that right is considered left, and anyone alive who's been paying attention and speaks on it is accused of being too old/bot/shill/foreign propagandists du jour.
This has been going on for decades. It pops up every now and again in the news, cue public outrage, the next news cycle comes along and this is forgotten about until a media outlet covers it again, repeat.
We should just let them become a Confederate “country” again, and then state that we have found oil in the Confederate “country”. Make it part of the country again, but at least handle it better with removing traitors.
Just dreams.
A10 go brrrt and everybody gets a knives bomb, cause you know save our environment.
Nah, I know how to really piss 'em off. The definition of ‘white’ has always been cultural, not genetic. Look at how the Irish or Italians weren’t considered ‘white’ for many generations. So I propose we modify the definition of ‘white’ to deliberately exclude people with strong Southern heritage. Maybe we can justify it with racist psuedoscience. “No one whose ancestors who have lived in such a hot and humid area for so long can really be white.” If you have ancestors who have lived in the American South for more than three generations, you are now a person of color by default, regardless of your skin color. You no longer get to live in the ‘white’ club. If the Irish can be excluded from being white, so can the Southerners. Only people whose ancestors fought on the right side of the Civil War will get to call themselves white from here on out. We’ll even add a question to the Census that asks how long long your ancestors have lived below the Mason-Dixon line. Anyone who says three or more generations will automatically be classified as non-white, regardless of what they list their stated race as. We’ll take the thing from them that they value above everything else, their very whiteness.
I did the beta version last month. It was 10 days from hitting submit to getting it in the mail. Standard processing. Hopefully they’re able to keep processing times similar with the roll out.
