@pbump Also, polling is generally garbage w.r.t. presidential contests
@QasimRashid Shameful, but some additional context on the second part. That $50M went into a fund that was hardly accessible to the public. There was a long form article about 10 years ago that described it juxtaposed to the Deep Water Horizon fund that’s worth a read. Sorry, I know that’s not the point of your post, just found the second bits of interest too.
T-Mobile was once an entertaining semi-upstart in U.S. mobile phone service, but it became a sleazy operation. Customers who believed a promise about a lifetime price are the latest victims of a cartel that couldn't care less about them.
I'm sad to report the death of Ed Stone, the NASA scientist who was the heart & soul of the Voyager program. Spending time with him for my Discover magazine profile was a highlight of my career.
I did my best to capture the experience:

T-Mobile users thought they had a lifetime price lock—guess what happened next
"T-Mobile will never change the price you pay," the carrier told users in 2017.

Thanks for the vote of confidence eh? https://horizons.service.canada.ca/en/2024/disruptions/ #canada
Private citizen found guilty of lying about a drug addiction to buy a gun. Sounds like he should be punished. Oh, it’s the President’s son? Sounds like he should be punished. This isn’t hard.
Did you love NOVA on PBS when you were kid?
Now's a great time to tune in again—EFF joins the program to discuss "Secrets in Your Data" https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/06/eff-covers-secrets-your-data-novl
Dual “something” here. First we have Apollo 13 quote: “was it the door?” Also, we have the fact that it’s Boeing and it could actually be the door. https://www.voanews.com/a/boeing-starliner-spacecraft-detects-leaks-on-journey-to-iss/7645414.html #space

So much for the party of "freedom."
@GottaLaff Is there a mechanism? Like does a forced recusal mechanism exist? Honest question
@film_girl Eh. It’s all incremental from here on out for Apple I feel.
@w7voa I agree with all the comments this far, but some strange part of me still thinks he knows it is an absofuckinglootly suicidal concept (to attack nato)

@NewsDesk @AxiosNews @2024-elections-AxiosNews Would it be prudent for Fanni to bail to let the case move forward?
@TheConversationUS I feel like it’s cannon fodder because of #4. It isn’t great, but it might be strategic (in as much as it’s moral to fuck with human rights). It feels like positioning to neuter the argument is all. No?
