@MaceAhWindu On Twitter, you really don’t need to qualify things with, “it’s valid to feel…” anymore.
The percentage of people engaging with genuine earnestness and thoughtfulness is infinitesimal.
It’s fantasy football updates, then it’s bots and trolls all the way down.
@MaceAhWindu And honestly we already have some proof he’s compromised by what the show has given us already. Halogram Hal wouldn’t have done John the way he did with the car, the “training”, the contempt etc.
Hal is not his best self in 2016, clearly
@MaceAhWindu A lot depends on the extent to which Sinestro has been seeding Hal with fear. We dont know details on what is up with Yellow Sinestro plot lines and details, but if we learn that those seeds have been germinating in the years since Hal locked him up, Hal could be compromised.
@heathcummingssr BiJean Val’Zhaun was mine, but I might be dropping Stribbling here soon, so it might need to change.
Shame, cuz I love a name that maybe 5% of people get.
@CHold Journalism in general is cooked.
Engagement is king, and quality/accuracy is incidental to it. Increasingly counter to it, actually. The number of people willing to pay for something boring but true is negligible, and anything exciting and true gets stomped out (to ur point).
There’s literally a Phrase that everyone over 15 knows that comes from a bunch of people who died for a lie like 50 years ago. “Don’t drink the koolaid!”
Religion aside (Believe what you believe, I don’t care), “no one dies for a lie” is just a stupid thing to think
@heathcummingssr I put all the usual suspects down to Ray Davis and Bigsby above him until I see if he is actually any good. His profile scares me, and I’m not sure he’s an nfl caliber runner. Big dudes who run fast don’t do it for me unless I think they can work running lanes
@DrNeilStone The constitution is, arguably by design, but certainly functionally, not definitive in much of anything. People *immediately* started tweaking interpretation, skirting or ignoring intention, and generally bastardizing its ostensible purpose.
@fbcoach_summers Only old, less… discerning audiences watch sports center for anything other than highlights anymore, and being loud, confident, and divisive gets more views than being measured and nuanced.
Same as politics/news/entertainment etc.
@AMPMSose Probably being pedantic, but the issue with this one isn’t the contact. That’s great.
The live example he gave before the video cuts to kids is a travel. Gather, stride stop, then moves his pivot (the first foot that lands in a stride stop is your pivot foot) before going up.
@bluelivesmtr Just admit that you only care about this shit when it offends you personally.
“Just follow officer orders!”
… unless it’s an order I don’t like…
Either believe in an consistent enforcement, or shut the fuck up
@bballbreakdown Can we please stop with the false absolutes?
I get that yall need your engagement here, but find a more clever way than just saying shit that’s not true.
Sliding and turning your hips are both necessary for good defense, and saying otherwise is lazy, dumb click-farming
@RGIII lol a rapist pedophile mid-wit is our leader, and a dead man is literally being weekend-at-Bernie‘sed to fuck with elections. We are a joke at the moment, and under no obligation to pretend otherwise. Fuck your and your rug-burned knees
@nickdaschel I have no opinion on Bill, but the job of anyone in media, before anything else, is to get people to consume their product. Bad-faith takes, and feux-outrage are media staples, sources or no, and is essentially clickbait in fine clothes. Whether anyone agrees with it or not.
@ChadinRipCity@billoram His, yours, and everyone in media’s job, is to get people to read/watch/listen/click their stuff. Not to present earnest, nuanced, or even intelligent takes, if they don’t get engagement. Full stop.
Thousands of people know Bill now who never did before. Mission accomplished 🤷🏻♂️
