Am confused --no way you are that gullible. Europe has had these protections from the beginning of data and internet security. It's so obviously a monetization question and why our (in the US ) data is simply up for sale.. nothing can be done🙄

Thank you for reminding us, truly. It's a piece of the whole project ...

This exactly! When it starts, I'm like I actually may hate this game...

Please take care of yourself, girl!! Am losing too many folks and you're a fucking star! Your insights have saved me multiple times since 2020 (ie when all turned to shit;)

Ok, good to know. Morocco just looked more skilled and invested and I like the deep colonial history part. Not sure which Fifa teams are clear re rape, sexism, abuse, etc tbh. ..

Yeah, nope!

Am shocked at how much the delivery (the app?) and podcast itself suck. As a quasi-admiring reader+supporter of TNR, this shitshow of difficult interfaces, repetitive journalism, and omipresent AI voices (Sargent and guest sound pretty AI themselves tbh) are killing my vestigial faith in journalism

Hey, remember his big family machine gun xmas cards? Get a grip…these republican politicians (Massie, Cornyn, Collins, + whoever is still in office) are not ethical lines in the sand. Their presence in the party says it all..

Right?! Thank you for remembering and reminding wtf actually happened

Re the dove and John Kruk, reminds me of the brothers on my husband’s dude league team in Northern Cali (Livermore folk, guys in their 30s -40a mostly). They’d played with Johnson in high school and apparently it was insane—he often had no clue where the ball was going (at 100+mph;)

Exactly. sigh

Aww;) Was told to advertise that I wrote a book (2 in the end) while teaching a 4/4 load (w a 5hr round trip commute) I had generational adv tbh, but many colleagues didn’t and also wrote great books & papers. But hate too that excellent teachers/ leaders are penalized if they don’t publish.

You either have bodily autonomy, or you don't. You don't get to decide one group of people shouldn't have bodily autonomy without the justifications and mechanisms used to strip that autonomy being immediately used to strip bodily autonomy from others. Either we all have it or none of us do.
