I don't use X anymore. Follow me... literally anywhere else.

[Alan Hayman, Liberal Pragmatist @Liberal_Prag]

I think I've decided that I'm done with X, too.

Many people I usually follow/interact with have left, engagement has been low for a while, and my feed is just horrible. No value.

People need to stop being so quick to call the Netflix deal "the death of cinema." It's not.

MSNOW (formerly MSNBC) has a problem (not its opinion, of which there is def too much). Its the lack of primary news sources.

There are some bright spots, like Lara Baron Lopez, but after watching the network for a whole day, it doesn’t look good. My review in comments. 👇

I’m not on this app much anymore, but if you don’t already know, I have a YouTube channel now.

The content is not going to be political, but I did just do the first of several deep dives on cable news. Check it out and follow me over there!

@huntermcsmith @ProjectLiberal @David_J_Bier There's a written version here: https://t.co/4RtqrRgqUK

I'm just using blue sky and threads, but I'll be using all these pretty soon (esp Substack and Youtube).

It's been fun!

PS--(no it hasn't)

Don't forget that Tesla shareholders were lied to and that Musk controlled his own pay negotiation.

Serious question: I wonder if shareholders still feel as strongly about handing over $56B to Muskie as they did six years ago? 🤔

[Alan Hayman, Liberal Pragmatist @Liberal_Prag]

@susanhogarth He would be nothing without the government, though. The amount of corporate welfare he's benefited from is obscene.

He also controlled pay negotiations and lied to the shareholders. So yeah. Cry me a river.

[Alan Hayman, Liberal Pragmatist @Liberal_Prag]

Imagine being upset that the richest man alive didn’t get a pay raise.

[Tesla @Tesla]

A Delaware judge just overruled a supermajority of shareholders who own Tesla and who voted twice to pay @elonmusk what he’s worth. 

The court’s decision is wrong, and we’re going to appeal.

This ruling, if not overturned, means that judges and plaintiffs’ lawyers run Delaware companies rather than their rightful owners – the shareholders.

I have a new approach for journalists when interviewing candidates or anyone really:

Ask them the questions on this survey and see how they do, then ask them why they got it wrong.

On an unrelated note, the most underrated actress in Hollywood just turned 40 today. 🥳

@LeahLibresco @RiverTamYDN There is an exemption for home daycares. But if a small daycare outside a private home wants to peel fruit, it needs a kitchen that meets these requirements. Otherwise, the daycare can open a bag of chips, but it cannot peel fruit.

[Alan Hayman, Liberal Pragmatist @Liberal_Prag]

What a silly article. Let me help you out:

Peeling a banana is considered food prep. This is dumb. It triggers other regulations, making it easier to open a bag of chips instead.

You're also stupidly not allowed to serve a banana even if it came from the parent. Also dumb.

[Nathan J Robinson @NathanJRobinson]

Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, a centrist Democrat who pushes conservative narratives on regulation, says that her state makes it illegal to peel bananas in a daycare. But when I asked, her office could not provide me with evidence that such a regulation exists

Who the hell cares? By supporting Trump, the LP doesn’t have credibility on any of these things anymore.

What should the next topical video we fund be centered on?

[Alan Hayman, Liberal Pragmatist @Liberal_Prag]

@Best4Liberty I followed you. This sounds interesting!
