@waxmanjosh @jessesingal Yes but I don't think you should take the skit as representative of Tim Kaine's name ID in Virginia. Outside of the state his ID might be low, but in state most people know the name of their senator/former governor.
English
It's been pointed out to Mike that:
1. The poll was released the day the ep came out, making this timeline extremely unlikely
2. The "name-recognition" argument is psychotic -- Kaine is a two-time senator, former gov, former VP candidate
3. Kaine is ~ +11 if you average the polls
He doesn't care.

NBC knew full well that it would be breaking at least two laws by interfering in the election in this way, and it did so anyway. It's not just Harris. It's also @timKaine who could lose to @HungCao_VA NBC constructed a sketch literally aimed at increasing Kaine's name recognition. SNL could thus tip two elections. People may not appreciate the significance of SNL. It has a huge young male audience — exactly the audience Harris and Kaine need. By giving the FCC and Congress so little time before the election, NBC calculated that it could get away with, at most, a fine. NBC's top lawyer, Kim Harris, worked for Obama and is thick as thieves with Biden admin and DNC. NBC may not have calculated that this is flagrant election interference. NBC may not have calculated that it is vulnerable because it depends on the US government for its license. The American people have subsidized NBC for decades. Congress and FCC should revoke NBC's license. They have violated the public's trust. It is not acting in the public's interest. Our voices matter. Please share this post so the FCC and Congress will take immediate action against flagrant criminal conduct and election interference by NBC.

@ManaCurves Wildly incredibly wrong. Loot is very friend shaped and the fact that we don't have a plush for him is sad.
English
Wizards! Stop trying to convince us that Loot is cute.
I'd dropkick him if I saw him. Terrifying.

@annamerlan I am not a journalist, but I interview people regularly for my work. Have you posted a video of one of your workshops anywhere?
English
I teach interview skills workshops to younger journalists sometimes, and one thing I cover is knowing how to respond when people who are angry or nervous that you’re writing about them do stuff like this. More tbd! Great website, as always
Wide Awake Media@wideawake_media
Hit piece incoming, from Mother Jones "journalist" Anna Merlan (@annamerlan), who covers "disinformation, tech and extremism". Should I respond?

@mikeleake Rookie salary is just so much less. Players who already have a contract just cost so much against the cap that it is difficult to make that work.
English
It is astonishing to me how little teams get in trade value for star players. How is Hopkins only worth a 4th or 5th round pick?
English
@3YearLetterman The inventor of the waterbed, Charles Hall, is from the Pacific Northwest. Have you turned your back on the one true way to sleep?
English
I literally cannot name a more irrelevant part of America than the Pacific Northwest
What’s even there?

last February my ex was planning to murder me but when we got there he realized the remote cabin he rented was too close to the road and we had two occupied cabins within screaming distance so he spent the whole weekend pouting about it like Wiley E. Coyote

@WilliamKarish @Phil_Lewis_ @TruthHrtzz Actually this time it's alleged they the bank only made 670 million, so for over the fine is larger than the profit.
English
@Phil_Lewis_ @TruthHrtzz But as usual I'm sure the bank made 10, 20, 30 times that amount from their crime.
English
The Justice Department announces that TD Bank pleaded guilty that it failed to monitor money laundering by drug cartels and will pay $3 billion in fines
English
@shannonekp Yeah, but you're a champion so you'll crush it. You got this.
English
@jduffyrice It's also just so easy to not say anything? Like if the feds are approaching you in an investigative capacity you're probably already fucked, so just shut the fuck up and hope it won't get worse.
English
@LizbethEden It sucks to lose stuff but even a couple inches of water can be really dangerous if you are already exhausted. It's good that you got away safe! You made the right choice.

@jg_boyce @raff_sputin @JohnRuml This line of text is actually relevant in non saga situations. It's about some triggers like nadu that only trigger x times for turn. It's clarifying that now if you miss your nadu trigger that still counts towards the total times it can trigger this turn.
English
@raff_sputin @JohnRuml I guess I’m misreading it? I thought “missed triggers still count as having triggered” would mean the counter still got put on, and the effect from the counter is what you missed. What does “missed triggers still count as having triggered mean” in this context?

@evan_mtg If like in chess this biases towards getting people to 50/50 I would be so happy about this.

@DougJBalloon That's unfair. Everyone can tell that Chait and Williamson are perfect for each other.
English
There’s such a double standard with this Olivia Nuzzi story. Do you think Jon Chait would’ve gotten into any kind of trouble if he’d been sending nude selfies to Marianne Williamson?
