alternatively, trump's at 41% approval — that's pretty "sour" right?

In his interview w @jonfavs.bsky.social, @ezraklein.bsky.social asks, "why haven't the tariffs soured the public on Trump?"

An answer from my book on ACA opinions: the contemporary US economy is so diverse & complex that even sizable policy changes don't move opinions consistently.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

Blake Treinan would probably appreciate having more time to carry Trump’s water if the Dodgers cut him, tbh.

It is what it is with the Chargers. Not sure anyone would be successful when your already patchwork O Line is missing the starting Guard and Left Tackle.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

That’s been my read of it as well. I don’t think Nintendo has ever behaved like a non-profit; I think they’ve always taken every opportunity to make more money, even in the Iwata years that everyone idolizes.

But right now everything sucks. And nostalgia behind a high price will be met with venom.

Ghoul-ian BOO!rrell @julianburrell.bsky.social · Sep 18

There’s definitely a loud contingent of people complaining (which is fine— be smart with your money). But all signs point to YouTube and the outrage expressed there being a very small cut of the overall audience.

I’ll wait for Galaxy 2 to go on a bit of a sale, personally.

The following is a statement from the WGA on ABC’s decision to pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’

WGA Statement on ABC's Decision to Pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’
The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree.
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich.
Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
The WGA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

There is precedence for this. The Guardians of the Galaxy team threw up middle fingers to the authority when James Gunn was unfairly fired. Seems like a great time for that to happen again.

Disney has Tron: Ares, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, Rental Family, Zootopia 2, Ella McCay, Avatar: Fire and Ash, and Is This Thing On? opening this year. I hope the talent involved in these movies curtails all planned publicity until the company reverses its decision about Kimmel.

I dug into that recent Pokémon patent on @theverge.com in the interest of getting some facts straight www.theverge.com/games/779062...

No, Nintendo and Pokémon did not patent ‘summoning characters and making them battle’

Is that even allowed?
