@2007warpedtour I would think for something controversial a company would do focus groups to get a read on this. So, my generous interpretation of this ham-fisted survey is somebody on the Nike research team needs this data to prove to management what a disastrous business decision this would be

This part jumped out to me:
"The television was, as always, set to Fox News, though Greene told me she no longer watched the network because she found it factually unreliable."

@PluribusTV hello, I'd like to convey a request to the (Sony) Hive mind merch dept. could they sell a cloth face mask in yellow (with black title logo) and/or black (with yellow title logo)? I think it would be popular with some individuals. Thank you. :)

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

@DaVonneDianne_ It's agony. It's retribution. It's all the feelings. It's too much the 'current political climate'. The end is somewhat satisfying...but know that Hulu is going with a sequel, so... the story continues.

the concept of obsessing over big brother while the usa turns into a fascist regime before our very eyes #bb27

The countries where comedians can't mock the leader on late night TV are not really ones you want to live in.

The MAGA right says Charlie Kirk is a martyr for freedom of expression, but still want people to lose their jobs for criticizing his rhetoric

@BBigBrotherBuzz Kudos Nancy Fisher! Sometimes it feels like Big Brother production is phoning it in but this season the costumes have been amazing. She says as she checks IMDB...

[Nic @hapalive]

Exactly! #DexterResurrection

Season 2! Season 2! Season 2!

#BB27 Interview
"There are a lot of rumors about [Riley's] personal life - run ins with law enforcement, to claims he is avoiding child support...what do you see your future with Riley?

Katherine: "I don't really know what's going on fully in any aspect of my life...day by day"

[Nic @hapalive]

@BB_Updates Scene: Hotel room (after 4-5 margaritas)
Cut to Katherine getting debriefed by CBS PR, her family and friends, and reading The Sun/TMZ articles.
Mutters:"I shouldn't have lead with 'I'm a feminist' in the intro package"
Camera close up of her plucking at her right eyebrow

@chriscorey999 @DaltonRoss It was pushing past her boundaries constantly - moving the goal post. At first it looked a lot like Katherine kissed him to deflect or to calm him down or honestly to get some more alcohol from him; then it was using her grief to get into bed together. He was wearing her down.

@Kydwykkyd101 @Frebbolicious I always like to hear them speculate on the audience reaction.

[Nic @hapalive]

@BB_Pissed Yeah, I really think the (fate) ball started rolling that way when Ava said her gut was saying pick Morgan over Rylie, which gave Vince the green light.

[Nic @hapalive]

It's a weird cognitive dissonance #BB27 feeling where I think I don't like Katherine on a personal level but on a game level I feel gaslight on her behalf. Like she has been forced into a corner but ... on the other hand ... not a fan of what she says behind backs.
