@jamesetta_w You could swap out Covid with 9/11 and say the exact statement about W. In the end, there comes a point for voters where voters know they are done with a candidate/party and no amount of justification can change that view.

@ZackMorrison18 Why should Colbert’s profitability have a different standard than every other interview show? There clearly was intangible value and this cancelation might hurt, just as losing the NFL devastated CBS in the 1990s. But intangibles aren’t part of a bottom line financial statement.

People here love to shout how Colbert "lost $40M a year," but ignore the millions in advertising revenue + the free advertising for Paramount titles and properties via guest interviews. Colbert was the face of the corporation. It's not as simple as the stat you keep repeating.

@arindube Both ideas are awful. Regulation is needed to prevent insurance companies from not covering people. Regulation is also needed to ensure universal healthcare doesn’t make killing patients a suggested treatment plan against patient desire.

Good question. Here's the thing - there's no mystery. We have over a century of evidence. Unregulated, private, health insurance markets don't work. And for reasons obvious from basic economics. Private health insurance markets can't deliver needed care. As we have learnt. Over. And. Over. Again.

Ok. Take government completely out of healthcare. No rules. No laws. No Medicare. No Medicaid. Hospitals, insurance companies, can do anything they want. What do they do ? If you were running any of the biggest insurance companies or hospitals, what would you do differently once gov was completely out of healthcare ?

@edbranum @horrormuseum The OP argument is that intangibles aren’t considered in that number, which is fair. The show DID lose a lot of money, but its value in other ways may have made it a loss leader that CBS will regret cutting. I don’t think the ancillary losses are that high, but we’ll see.

We're seeing a lot of misinformation about late night TV shows, so here's what we know. No, Colbert's show was not "losing money." It was the number one rated show and made millions from advertising and streaming every episode, but not as much as it was 10 years ago. Every show pays scale for celebrities to appear, because they promote their movie or TV show, it's in their contract. Without networks pushing their movies through late night shows, they actually do lose money.

@horrormuseum @dwhite0279 Promotion has huge value, but it’s intangible and sadly not considered on the bottom line. No different than 1994 when CBS dropped the NFL not seeing the value and shows tanked from lack of promotion. It may be a marketing mistake, but it’s not a financial one.

@dwhite0279 The problem is that number did not include streaming, which is a big source of revenue. They threw in the 40 mil number not based on a lot of the other elements including the free publicity they got promoting their other films and TV shows on that show. They just wanted him out.

@OkSam94598566 @yinzer_g His team hasn’t been relevant since Dan Rooney died almost a decade ago. All he has is memories of past glory and knowledge that his team is making no effort to win this season. Let him bloviate while we feel second hand embarrassment for his franchise.

@JasonCole62 You make a fair point. But can you concede that a position changing from “They didn’t have any,” to “They have nearly 1,000 pounds,” means that the original position was never tenable in the first place?

@JamesSurowiecki You are 100% correct in your summary and 100% incorrect in your analysis. The original point, not the most clearly articulated, was that PHM makes entertainment its goal, not politics. You can find it if you want, but it’s not trying to drive that message.

It's a movie about a guy who's a member of a multinational crew, sent into space thanks to a global scientific effort, who then gives up his chance to return home in order to save a literal alien who looks like a rock, and who ends up spending his days in a foreign land happily teaching alien kids. And you think there's no political message there?

Justice Clarence Thomas took a blowtorch to the 8 Supreme Court Justices who established the despicable “separate but equal” doctrine in Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896 that sanctioned racial segregation. Justice Thomas says they acted with “cowardice.” “It could not have taken my Court sixty years to know that Plessy was a hideous wrong and that racial segregation was grossly incompatible with our colorblind Constitution. The Justices must have known it all along. The right thing to do, as Justice Harlan spelled out in his lone dissent at the time, was obvious as it so often is. What stood in the way was cowardice. The Justices were afraid of the societal consequences. They were afraid of coming under political fire. They were afraid that, if they began to enforce a colorblind Constitution, they would have to address interracial marriage next. So, for sixty disgraceful years, they made American children like me grow in racial caste system because it was easier to do nothing than do the right thing.” ------ Because the Justices used social science (the infamous doll study) to strike down racial segregation in schools in Brown, rather than on an equal protection clause basis, the Court delayed striking down anti-miscegenation laws until 1967, another disgraceful episode. THAT is why Justice Thomas has criticized Brown. In his view, the Supreme Court should have struck down those disgraceful laws on equal protection grounds, echoing the Declaration’s promise that all men are created equal. In Justice Thomas’s view, the Justices hid behind social science out of fear of reaffirming the simple truth that all men are created equal and endowed with certain inalienable rights. This is why Justice Thomas does not give a damn about judicial precedent. He has personally felt the lash of a barbaric ruling and there was no reason whatsoever to give it any deference. And he believes there are many cases like this. Justice Thomas’s courage to take as his guiding light the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution without any regard to the barnacles that have attached to these documents is why he is our nation’s greatest Justice. The speech is titled “Remarks on the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence,” delivered at @UTAustin on April 15, 2026. (link below to full speech)

Another excerpt from Justice Clarence Thomas’s epic speech on the Declaration of Independence: The second paragraph of the Declaration proclaims: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights….” Throughout my youth, these truths were articles of faith that were impervious to bigotry or discrimination. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language defines “self-evident” as “obviously true, and requiring no proof, argument or explanation.” Whether they had a divine source, or a worldly one, they were never questioned. They were the Holy Grail, the North Star, the rock – immovable and unquestioned. Despite the multiplicity of laws and customs that reeked of bigotry, it was universally believed among those blacks with whom I lived and who had very little or no formal education, that “in God’s eyes and under our Constitution we are equal.” This was also the case with my nuns, most of whom were Irish immigrants. At home, at school, and at Church, we were taught that we are inherently equal; that equality came from God; and that it could not be diminished by man. We were made in the image and likeness of God. That proposition was not debatable and was beyond the power of man to alter. Others, with power and animus, could treat us as unequal but they lacked the divine power to make us so. Somehow, without formal education, the older people knew that these God-given or natural rights preceded and transcended governmental power or authority. When you lived in a segregated world with palpable discrimination and the governments nearest to you enforced laws and customs that promoted unequal treatment, it was obvious that you did not get your rights or your dignity from those governments, but from God. Though not a literate man, my grandfather often spoke of our rights and obligations coming from God, not from the architects of segregation and discrimination. Men were not angels. They were subject to the constraints of antecedent rights. And, we were not subject to them even as we were subjected to their whims. We knew that life, liberty, and property were sacrosanct. These truths were self-evident to the adults in our lives and were taught to us as undeniable truths. Those around us could endure with dignity the insults of segregation because they knew that, in God’s eyes, they were equal. Link below to the full text and video of speech on YouTube

@hunterbonair While I’m not a fan of missed ump calls, I’m TOTALLY AGAINST the ability to challenge a call, whether it’s a ball/strike or calls on the bases. Baseball is a game played and officiated by humans. The injection of technology to make official judgments is dehumanizing the game.

William Contreras challenged a pitch that was called a ball and on the TV feed, it showed the call should be overturned to a strike. The home plate umpire turned his microphone on and said it was still a ball and the Brewers lost the challenge. Simply put, that can’t happen.

@bonchieredstate Absolutely moronic. Yes, she was out of central casting. But so was Jackie Robinson. They could handle the pressure and make people understand the horrific wrong that was occurring. How they got to their moment in history is secondary to that moment existing in the first place.

This thing where people pretend to have uncovered a massive conspiracy when it’s actually just common knowledge (in this case, told by Rosa Parks herself) is moronic. The buses were segregated and she was arrested. The rest is online brain rot trying to justify it.
Wall Street Apes@WallStreetApes

We have literally been lied to about everything Matt Walsh “The Rosa Parks story you were taught in school was fake too. This was not just some woman on her way home from work. Civil rights leaders thought Parks would make a sympathetic face for their lawsuit and then told her, a longtime NAACP volunteer, to create a situation where she'd be arrested. This gets sold to the public as totally organic when actually it's playacting to create ideal conditions for a court case or scandal. The iconic photo of Parks on the bus was staged months after the incident as part of a press campaign. (The photo is shown in the clip) The white man, sitting behind her in the bus photo was a journalist, which you probably didn't know.” Let’s fact check this. It’s 100% true What Actually Happened on December 1, 1955 Rosa Parks was a longtime NAACP volunteer and secretary of the Montgomery chapter. She had been deeply involved in civil rights activism for years (including work on cases like the Recy Taylor rape and voter registration efforts). She was not just a random tired seamstress on her way home from work who spontaneously refused to move. Local civil rights leaders had been looking for a strong test case to challenge bus segregation. They even had people cast for the role before Rosa Parks. Earlier attempts include 15 year old Claudette Colvin were passed over because leaders felt Rosa Parks, a mature, respected, married woman with a spotless reputation, would be a more sympathetic plaintiff in court and to the public The Iconic Photo was 100% staged The famous photo was taken on December 21, 1956, this is over a year after her arrest and on the first day the buses were integrated after the Supreme Court ruling It was deliberately staged by journalists, Look Magazine and UPI, for a press campaign to dramatize the victory The white man sitting behind her is Nicholas Chriss, a UPI reporter, not a random angry passenger or segregationist

@pittsportsguy87 @MadewithSteel99 That’s because one still thinks the other is a rival while the other has the goal of being more than a playable bye in the playoffs. Sometimes the Ravens are great; sometimes they’re not, but they never make mediocre their season goal, which is all the Steelers strive for.

Fun Fact of the Day: These Four Republicans Byron Donalds (FL-19), Wesley Hunt (TX-38), John James (MI-10), and Burgess Owens (UT-4) represent majority white congressional districts, and NOT one of them was allowed to join the Black Congressional Caucus. Are they not black enough? 🤔 I’m starting to think the democrats are being very disingenuous about all this talk of black people being unable to be elected or represented, the black vote being repressed, and the “Jim Crow 2.0” bullshit. 🤨

@byelin It’s almost as if the parties are both being disingenuous in their arguments. Some states can’t build a token district for the opposing party no matter how hard they try. Maybe the solution is to stop building districts aimed at appeasing the party extremists.

It would be very convenient for Republicans if this were true but it is not . As has been explained to them a million times: 1. VT only has one district 2. NH districts were drawn by a Republican governor and legislature. They just haven’t been able to win one. 3. Maine has one district that voted for Trump 3 times (by 6-9 points) but they keep losing it. 4. Mass and RI geography makes it nearly impossible to draw a Republican seat. At most, they’re missing out on 1 weirdly configured district. 5. CT maps are the same as they were in 2002 when drawn by a GOP Governor. 6. Before this year, there were already tons of red states with more than one district that have no blue districts: Oklahoma, Arkansas, West Virginia, Idaho, Montana, Utah (before recent court decision). There also states, like Maine, where Dems have a friendly district but haven’t been able to win it (Nebraska, Iowa).
PoIiMath@politicalmath

This is such a perfect example of the left-right dynamic. New England (everything east and north of New York) already has zero GOP representation. They already nuked the ground. The GOP in the South is going to severely reduce Dem representation. But this isn't the "opening salvo". It is a response to an already partisan situation. The Dems went first. They are angry that the GOP can also play that game, so they threaten consequences that can't come to pass because they already did their worst.
