How exactly do you lose 85% of your audience in a year? Isn't that kind of unheard of? Did the company just stop paying for fake audience, or did people just decide they really hate his ass that badly all of a sudden?

The Daily Wire fires half of its staff in mass layoffs This comes as co-founder Ben Shapiro has lost 85% of his Youtube audience since last year

@WalkerMarcus The mosque is extraordinary.
The cathedral inside is tacky Spanish baroque : horrendous.

The Cathedral in the former Mosque in Cordoba is quite astounding. I’ve never seen anything like it. Don’t really know how to describe it. Two thoughts:

When they say "missile" here it's meant literally as in deploying one missile because that's all they've got
Clash Report@clashreport
US Central Command has requested approval to deploy the “Dark Eagle” long-range hypersonic missile to the Middle East, aiming to target Iranian ballistic missile launchers that are now beyond the reach of current US systems. The missile has a range of about 1,725 miles and is designed for fast, precise strikes against heavily defended or time-sensitive targets. If approved, this would mark the first operational deployment of the system, which is not yet fully declared ready. Each missile costs roughly $15 million, and only a limited number are available.

@iker_rasa @MyLatinLife Lots of Spaniards in high level white collar work in Mexico in my experience
English
@MyLatinLife Latin America is going to be filled with Spaniards
English
Europeans are leaving Europe for higher salaries in... Latin America.
Salaries in Brazil are often higher than Portugal. 🇧🇷🇵🇹
Salaries in Mexico or Chile are higher than Spain. 🇪🇸🇲🇽
Maybe not on average but the ceiling is higher

@GreenPlusAnE Back in the day they were saying the exact same things.

I don’t get the hate - Mark Rippetoe never said Starting Strength was a bodybuilding program.
Back in the good old days (2012), men lifted to get strong. Today’s obsession with online aesthetics would have seemed totally foreign.

2026 is the year I undo all the damage “Powerlifting” and Mark Rippetoe did to me No man has harmed more young men than Mark. He turned a whole generation of men into fat unaesthetic >30% bodyfat human pears with huge asses and wide birthing hips He is going to hell

@ApplePieIsBest @bruce_lambert @rpondiscio Doesn't Amazon pay pretty well for unskilled work? Wasn't that guy who burned the warehouse making like 27/hr

@bruce_lambert @rpondiscio The part where they (and Walmart) destroy existing businesses and then pay their employees so little that they receive welfare (food stamps)

Yesterday I ordered an obscure book and a 20 pound bag of dog food on Amazon. Today it was delivered to my house in rural upstate New York. Remind me again why Jeff Bezos doesn’t deserve to be a billionaire?

@PedroCo67443965 @TheCityMentor Why should architecture be beholden to arbitrary rules like these?
English
@TheCityMentor You can't using an example of, maybe, bad architecture, or "ugly" facades, to validate pastiche architecture. The answer must be new styles, not going back.

@DeSalviati "colonizada por pijos", maldita Selectividad colonialista!

institución boutique? chica, es una universidad puesta en barrio obrero y que está colonizada por pijos que quieren decir que han estudiado en la pública pero sin mezclarse con nadie de madrid sur.

@benhayesnyc @simonsarris I'm always astounded at how much people bitch about having to pay for parking.

I get why this "feels" insane, but if the entire planet wants to run roughshod over your island of 100k people, you should make sure that your people benefit from it in a *big* way.
Many over-touristed places capture too little money, get too little localized benefit

@Smirkley @BowTiedGlobe For the Latino countries there's a selection bias at play. Mexicans in Europe are almost entirely students or skilled workers. Very different demographic compared to Mexicans in the US

@bonzerbarry How much damage can FPV drones do to armored vehicles like this?

Hezbollah just published an FPV video of them striking an Eitan APC in Ramyeh yesterday.

@bryan_caplan What do you mean when you say “unaccented”?

Spaniards can never fully appreciate how weird it is for Americans to hear white people speaking unaccented Spanish.

@umilpesari Ojo yo no estoy de acuerdo con ese documento, pero esa es en esencia razón.

@umilpesari La Carta de Venecia explícitamente dice que toda adicion a un edificio histórico debe distinguirse de la obra original.
Español
Me podéis explicar por qué en la pintura, cuando se trata de restauración, se procura que las intervenciones sean lo más imperceptibles posible y en la arquitectura si no plantas un bodrio sin venir a cuento en mitad del edificio en restauración es poco menos que sacrilegio?
Español
@S0m38rah Yo no digo que debamos hacerle caso. Me parece ridícula personalmente
Español
Ajá y por qué deberíamos de hacerle caso a la carta de Vencía. Siempre la citan como si ella solita bastara para justificar las actitudes imbeciles de congelar el pasado.

@anelo09 @omegamig2345 @forocoches Hacer un master justo después de graduarse es completamente inútil. Y si lo haces unos años después de trabajar a nadie le importa tu nota.

Carlos Blanco se abre sobre las dificultades que tiene a la hora de encontrar pareja
Superdotado con un currículum envidiable, cuenta con el respeto de sus pares, buen trabajo, buena persona, aseado, bien educado, no tiene sobrepeso... Alguien que desde fuera pensarías que lo tendría muy fácil para encontrar pareja en los ámbitos en los que se mueve (evidentemente no en Tinder).

Have you tried lowering your standards even further and letting society and everyone around you grind your ego down to dust until there's nothing left? You should start a gratitude journal the real problem is you're very entitled and not grateful enough
English
@usuariotwltter @umilpesari Pero estamos hablando de la cuestión cosmética. En la arquitectura está mal visto que una adicion no se note, independientemente de su funcionalidad
Español
@umilpesari Porque los edificios son entes vivos, muchos se restauran evolucionando para que sigan en uso. Cosa que por otra parte los mantiene.
