To be fair, Desantis immediately interrupted and said they weren’t going to raise their hands “like children”. No one would raise their hand after a comment like that. All their specific answers were certainly not client friendly, but they are at least a little bit more nuanced than the title implies

It’s the state senate

That isn’t an option on iOS right?

I know you’re just repeating talking points and not actually advocating for one side or the other, but I do want to provide some balance to this part

use their influence to withhold international aid and pressure a foreign government to kill a corruption investigation into the company that you just so happen to sit on the board of

The corruption investigation in Ukraine was being lead by an investigator, Viktor Shokin, who was himself so corrupt that he drew international condemnation (before this investigation was even opened)

Multiple western governments, including the Obama administration, had demanded he be replaced for failing to prosecute corruption cases, and Ukrainian investigators and anti-corruption watchdogs have said that Shokin was fired because he had made no progress in the fight against corruption.

I see you too are a person of taste and watch Veritasium 😛

What a nasty old man

I agree with this sentiment but I think the real issue with this change is that Twitter Blue subscribers get their content’s visibility boosted. Without the blue checkmark visible, it’s impossible to tell who had their content boosted through organic engagement, and who paid for it

The Twitter Blue subscribers are not getting mocked for paying to remove ads. They are mocked for paying money to have their voices cary more weight. And they are paying that money to a company that as of late has supported CSAM, racism, and vaccine disinformation.

It’s ok, at least it’s just a website. Would be different if he was designing something like… oh idk… a car that people trust with their lives to drive itself. Or even a massive rocket carrying astronauts and valuable cargo.

They are releasing that under a more expensive subscription option. Wish I was joking

Surprisingly not hard at all. I helped build tools for moderators on Reddit that were used by millions. When the API changes hit, it completely destroyed all of my work. I have no interest in dedicating my time casually or seriously to a site that treats me that way.

I’m a habitual person but switching to the fediverse was like trading cigarettes for a vape. Same addiction, different delivery, more flavor 😛

The production value of his videos has gone up so much in recent years!

It’s not better if your master stops his friend from beating you and throws a scrap from the table.

It wasn’t a scrap, it was exactly what they were asking for. And it was achieved without a strike that would have cost the economy billions. You are putting words in the unions mouth when their own words are right in front of you. They did not have to thank Biden. If they felt that Biden had “castrated” them they would not have spent so much time praising him for his help.

Railroads now know they never have to negotiate again

Well, except for this time… when they did exactly that. Not sure why you think next time would be different.

Don’t get me wrong, I think everyone should have a right to unionize and I don’t think that Biden should have passed that law. I’m simply calling attention to the fact that Biden still fought hard to give the rail workers what they deserved, while still averting a strike, and was successful. To simply say he “castrated” the union and leave it at that, is ignoring the reality of the situation.
