My latest on how sports disrupt families. The notion that competitive youth sports always bring families together is a comforting fiction—they can sometimes hurt marriages, household finances, and sibling relationships, @LindaFlanagan2 writes: https://t.co/F5CWNIGt24

So a different way to characterize what Google was doing to publishers is 'stealing.' Sorry to get all technical about it. https://t.co/DtYzsbSH44

People think corporations are always playing us for suckers.

And that belief makes us suckers for politicians who blame everything on corporations.

And conversely, many people are suckers for corporate-backed politicians who blame everything on the government.

These FNT’s are a gold mine, Adriana. They’re not gonna be like those fuckin’ Beanie Babies you got sitting in the closet. All I gotta do is draw some shitty cartoons and tell these jerkoffs it’s worth a million

More businesses launched on Stripe since the start of 2020 than did in the rest of Stripe's history before then. Overall rate of migration to the internet economy is hard to overstate.

Apple and Amazon using their unlimited cash flow to subsidize ‘free’ lossless audio to music customers has big ‘Google offering free photo storage just long enough to starve its independent competitors to death before starting to charge’ energy

Something I explained to my 12 yo: When you're a little kid, your parents create your environment. Then there's a second stage where your peers do. Then for ambitious people there's a third stage where you create your own environment by choosing your own peers.

The problem that the system is supposed to ameliorate is that the ad-tech platforms cheat. They lie about the reach of their ads. They lie about the performance of their ads. They rig markets so they can price-gouge. They collude to rig prices.

Jenna Ryan is raising money for her legal defense - lots of 'prayers' but few cash donations. She's really a broke, entitled, attention seeker who doesn't think she did anything wrong - all for 'Jesus' & 'the cause' - her TF is really something

Karen & Kevin Cargo Shorts - former Henry’s - white- still not rich yet despite ‘high income’ - the ‘lower uppers’ - bitter they aren’t doing better - embarrassed that despite high income - net worth is low - barely hanging on to top 20% status - lots of resentment

Interesting data points on the argument that GOP is now the working-class party. Yes, it does better with non-college voters, but it still loses voters who make less than 100k pretty decisively. It's still the party of more-prosperous Americans. From the exits:

"Ryan had nearly lost everything. And the stakes seemed similarly high to her when she came to Washington in early January. She fully believed Trump’s false claims that the election was stolen and that he was going to save the country"

See Kevin Cargo Shorts & Karen fancy themselves as special, & unique like every other suburbanite. Protecting their perceived status - even if it is a facade - is all they have. They strut around with guns, hang at the bar during a pandemic cuz trump said they could

You’d never know that Karen & Kevin Cargo Shorts are barely hanging on by a thread. You may not notice that her clothes are slightly out of date - because still - they are too dollar. But the truth is - Karen & Kevin never really got ahead after kid number 1
