Ooh! Ooh! I can help with a logo if help is needed. I can’t remember what the standard is.

I will say that Vox’s editorial standards (in terms of factual reporting, not bias) are higher than other biased media in my opinion. In both their news articles and opinion pieces, they generally include links to the academic research or primary sources they based their opinion/reporting off. That makes it easier to fact check their reporting, and check those studies/sources against others.

Yep, you can thank advertising/media interest algorithms for that.

It’s actually not wrong to be. It’s just important to check the information you read against other more credible/less biased sources. That’s the main idea of media literacy. I would agree that Vox is biased on their reporting here; I’m just saying that “right-wing media” is no less guilty of that bias.

@dcro I’d be nice to see rightist media cover Trump’s mental health the way they cover Biden’s. (I would never use the term “rightist”, but I want show how easy it is to make these politically biased statements against only one side of the issue.) Dagger goes both ways, and it’s the people who ultimately suffer in the end. Americans have a very low media literacy level unfortunately.

The GOP appears to have enough votes in the Senate to appoint Trump’s nominee. If they go ahead with this before the election, Democrats have vowed to increase the number of justices on the Supreme Court. This would most likely be the start of a major Constitutional Crisis, and obviously that would not be good. There’s a lot a stake with a conservative majority on the Supreme Court. Outside of the ACA (Obamacare), the U.S. government has failed to pass any substantive social legislation since the 1980/1990s. That means that the legality of things such as abortion, gay marriage, gender discrimination, sexuality discrimination, religious discrimination, racial discrimination, etc. all rely on decisions in Supreme Court cases. Of course those precedents can always be overturned by a new ruling, which is why this is such a big deal.

She also doesn’t seem to know the difference between Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan, since she’s clearly meaning to reference him. Also, how can one be “more conservative than Attila the Hun”?

Lorde selection confirmed?

@hckosice I’ve appreciated your stage preview and stage results posts everyday. It’s makes it much easier to stay interested in, and keep up with the Tour. Hopefully our man Sagan finally pulls through for a stage win.

Göransson wins an Emmy for his work on The Mandolorian. He only needs a Tony to achieve EGOT status now.

So assuming nothing ridiculous happens, both of the last two Tour De France winners were also Tour of California winners. Bernal won the Tour of California in 2018, and Pogacar won the final edition of the Tour of California in 2019.

Two of the more notable American entries out as well.

Le Mans rarely fails in that reguard.

Bykolles definitely hasn’t found the same success as Rebellion, and they’ve had a few seasons to at this point. They’ve just never really had the pace. I’m was always glad to see people make an attempt at a solid LMP1 entry, but it’s just too hard to compete against the main manufacturers (unless you’re Rebellion for some reason).

Not sure who the worst LMP1 team of the era is, but Nissan/Bykolles/JOTA all make great candidates. I think Rebellion deserves a lot of respect for what they’ve been able to do.

Which could begin a potential Constitutional Crisis where the party in power just changes the number of justices to stack the Court in their favor.

I’m hearing Pogacar was fastest. It’s very likely he’s won three jerseys. What a legend!

Can we get a life check on @justony?

Yes! I was waiting for you to post this. Time to fricken blast this around the house.

If Carapaz was second, they will be tied heading towards the category 4 climb tomorrow. If Carapaz was third, I believe that battle is over also.

POGACAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does he win three jerseys?

Rivalry still exists after all these years?

Wow, what a fucking stage! Porte just behind Van Aert.

Long push for Roglic...
