CNN panel: "X is the most right wing biased of all the social media platforms."
Scott Jennings: "It's actually just been shown to be the least biased of the platforms."
CNN panel: "That's a lie! Where did you get that information?!?"
Scott Jennings: "From CNN reporting."

I don't know why that guy bothers with them.

Saw that, CNN reported X is pretty much 50/50 just a week ago.
My favorite part of the video is when she says to him after he quotes that CNN report "it's not accurate and you know it"

Were I a young man entering college today, I admit it would be a difficult choice, between a "physics 101" class and an "Intro to Fat Studies" class. Hard to tell which of them would provide me with a better education and job opportunities.

Were I a young man entering college today... I might very well say screw that and go into one of the trades like plumbing.

Got up and made coffee then sat down in front of the computer and brought up this thread. And what did my still morning fuzzy eyes see? K Frame likes dick noodles. More coffee on the way.

I'm pretty sure Dick Noodles was briefly a co-host of The Ocho, alongside Pepper Brooks.

And there's more from where that came from.
Note: I'm hoping this isn't real. I can still hope right?

That sounds like a SERIOUS case of projecting your own personal preferences, WJL...

And just when you think the world has gone completely, totally, and irretrievably mad...

Apple, bastion of wokeness, comes out with an incredible pro-family Christmas ad.

I can't even imagine what kind of ad they would have come out with had Harris and the base perversion of the left won.

Saw that during the game last night and had the same thoughts. But if they actually ordered it and got it out in the period after the election I would be surprised but they could have also ordered more than one version back in summer with the if Harris won having his boy getting his first dress for Christmas

High powered advertising shops can produce new material and turn on a dime. Rapid production to capture, match, and engage trends is their business, and some of them do it very well.

That said yes, it could be the case that Apple ordered a whole series of candidate-based ads back in the summer. It could also be that this ad is not, in any way, connected with the election at all and could be one in a series of broad-appeals ads that will cover numerous topics.

In other words, the son could still be getting his first dress.
