It's basically a form of shock/surprise humor in most cases; the cropped out bottom text says something absolutely unhinged, or expected, and to read it, you'll have to try hard
That way, text hits unexpectedly because you can't "pre-read" the cropped text and get a gist while you start reading the whole thing, creating a suspense when you do read it after you've read the rest
Was watching a video of Greg's economics lately (I didn't know who he was until a random video), am Dutch, so when he said that the movement of thinking bout wealth tax was gaining traction, I couldn't verify it, and his confidence was kinda turning me off
But this is very interesting, fucking hell, I didn't know this. Now let other countries take note of this, so that we can accelerate our own research into this
The courts have prepared for expedited process for election cases, shortening deadlines and speeding up cases, so hopefully it should cut short legal schenanigans, and actually resolve shit wayyy before certification deadlines
Europe hasn't politically recovered from the last few refugee crises, nor have national collectives been able to properly integrate or adjust to the fact they're there, it's been ran as a pressure point, and adding even more pressure will certainly enable those politicians to hit this button with greater effect.
I don't fucking understand why no European leader is looking at what Israel is doing with realpolitik and go "why the fuck are you creating another migrant crisis", unless that is exactly what they want, to get power for themselves. Urgh.
Omg thanks for the update on this, I bookmarked the last version, and tbh now I'm just inclined to follow your analysis, since then I can compare it to election-day counting performance and see what I can hope for, kinda cutting through the noise
PA is the kingmaker here, plus another state, and that's what imma focus on if imma doomscroll/look, cuz holy fuck this election is raising my blood pressure
The fact that the guardian is now at a point where they're calling out their lies should be a cause of concern imo, if other news outlets are not doing it, since the guardian is often anything but fact-checkers or "on the right side" of a majority of these kinds of stories
It's very close to the election, but this is a good filing wrt what is actually happening here, shame that it'll likely only matter when Harris gets in office, since trump can just throw it out if he becomes president, and it'll not matter anymore then.
Size doesn't matter imo, especially not between an organically growing distributed user-ran network and a corporate Twitter wannabe who, despite calls of wanting to decentralise, basically have 99% of users on its main instance
