I do always look it up to double check tho, just in case.

Well I guess in Cali they get money on both ends.

On the other coast in NJ the few times we get these types of things, the money has been one sided.

Like I just saw one for essentially giving the NCAA complete power back over student athletes to call my representative.

I love that Cuomo essentially banked on being better than Adams, getting all his voters and he could win and as of last polling he was barely ahead of Silwa.

Who btw is embarrassing that he’s even a candidate in 2025.

Mark Kelly @mark4212.bsky.social · 1h

I wonder what the “non-starter” is.

Probably that he won’t hire a kagillion cops.

Mark Kelly @mark4212.bsky.social · 1h

Young republicans talkin freely about hitler

The VP not disavowing it.

Someone else calling it essentially locker room talk.

Usually in my experience if there is an ad, whatever way the ad wants you to vote is the bad way.

But that’s just been my experience

And now I could be wrong cause I’m not on these crazy sites.

But isn’t the goal to get people to bet the odds a certain way?

Like normal sports lines move like this as bets come in to drive more money the other way.

Ex giants opened +6.5 vs eagles and were +9 at kickoff to get $ on giants.

No paychecks will eventually equal no kings buddy.

Not sure if you know how history plays out with that approach.

It needs new leadership and a new board.

It need to spin off Space X, and trim off all the non car parts of the company… X, Ai, etc.

But what do I know

Mark Kelly @mark4212.bsky.social · 10h

It’s been an over valued underperforming company since around 2018 held up by the CEO pointing at shiny objects (space X, robo taxi, Ai) to keep investors happy.

People have shorted it forever cause it’s a mess.

Here is another guy who isn’t gonna see a much different market this offseason.

Baseball teams wised up about spending on aging stars.

32 before the year starts won’t net him much better than the 3/120 he had.

He probably shouldn’t have opted out.

Axios @axios.com · 15h

Racist language allegedly used by leaders of Young Republican groups in leaked chats drew widespread condemnation from both sides of the political aisle and prompted the national youth organization to demand the resignations of those involved.

I just was thinking this before while walking. The average American makes $77k.

The old rule was the car you could afford is 1/5th your yearly salary.

So that would be: $15,500.

And yet all these yokels are financing $65k pickups to drive to and from work.

It’s going to collapse

A. Zivarts @nondriver.bsky.social · Aug 5

AAA estimates the average cost of owning a car is $12,297 a year, and recommends drivers spend no more than 10 percent of their income on car costs. This means you should make 120K to afford the average cost. Median *household* income in the US is $77K. The math just doesn't work.
