@DKThomp @JoshKraushaar Maybe and I’m spitballing here: they’re not artists but corporate creations with 8 writers, auto tune and no real talent.

“Only three of the top ten songs in 2025 were released in 2025! It's brutal out there for new artists.”

I've written about this before, but it's remarkable how much older music is strangling new music. And the same is true in books, movies, video games. Older media is taking up a bigger and bigger share of the market every year.

This has been almost 10 years in the making. When Change My Mind came to campuses, I always had debating professors in mind.
The problem? Not a single one would show up. They were too busy banning us.
Now, finally, after offering a $10,000 donation to their university, one accepted. I mean only ONE. On their home turf.
Get your tickets below. See you there!

@Ben_Baby @JoshKraushaar Why would anyone go there? They don’t police crime.

I was stunned at the state of downtown St. Louis when I was there a couple of weeks ago.
Ballpark Village is great. But city leaders need to have some major questions about how that downtown is in its current state.

@HugoScrotius @Shadowerann @esjesjesj @capeandcowell Again, your interpretation can be what you want but the literal people that wrote it never even considered such insanity.

@CommonsenseMA01 @Shadowerann @esjesjesj @capeandcowell I mean if you don't like it you can change the constitution, but putting your hands over your eyes and claiming that the words of the 14th amendment don't grant citizenship to all children born on US soil that are subject to its jurisdiction doesn't pass legal muster

Just stole my neighbor’s wallet. According to the Supreme Court I now own his house and truck.

@HugoScrotius @Shadowerann @esjesjesj @capeandcowell Good try man. It was specifally designed to ensure former slaves had right. Read a history book. I’m reading a biography of Garfield now: not a single person thought a Chinese person could fly over, drop a kid and be a citizen. Not for a second. No country does that.

@Shadowerann @CommonsenseMA01 @esjesjesj @capeandcowell Great, I'm glad we agree on what "jurisdiction thereof" means in the 14th amendment then

The people responsible for this still applaud themselves at awards shows every year. When they aren't blowing kisses to one another. It's real Titanic stuff. And it will continue to the very end.

New York is about to do a huge payoff to the teachers union, letting them retire at age 55 (instead of 62) and lowering their contribution rate from 4.5% to 3.5%.
This sweetheart deal will cost New York $1.5 billion.
Meanwhile, taxpayers are fleeing New York for other states with lower taxes.

@CommonsenseMA01 @esjesjesj @capeandcowell Are you under the jurisdiction of Japanese law when you are in Tokyo?
English
@esjesjesj @capeandcowell Does stealing in Tokyo make you Japanese? That piece of idiocy is the core of the point, which you’ll now pretend you don’t understand.

@capeandcowell I dare you to break down this metaphor and say what each part represents

@monacharen Are you a retard? How in the hell is losing your whole navy, Air Force, leadership a loss? I mean you must be functionally retarded or maybe your readers are?

@Daily_MailUS Russia can’t even defeat a single non-NATO country in a war. How could it take over Europe in a conventional war? But the leaders of the EU are so feckless they just might invite them in to avoid a military confrontation.

@conor64 @chriswithans Didn’t you literally say you supported Biden before?
English
@chriswithans False. I don't like Biden and never would've wanted him to become president save for Trump being the alternative. You seem to have no idea what my actual views are.
English
The only spending increases Republicans engage in is for the military, which you should support. But you’re a Bidenholic so everything you say has to be apologetics for him even though his post-COVID deficits were the highest ever on record. And he reached for even more.
Conor Friedersdorf@conor64
A different perspective: your children *will be burdened* by the vast deficit spending Trump has engaged in and the vast increase in the debt he irresponsibly accrued far more than this speculative, paranoid nonsense.

@emilysweeney @meaghano9 @DaisyDroolz @hjessy_ @JoshKraushaar @BostonGlobe Nothing. But for a professional reporter, a person whose industry is already widely loathed and mistrusted, maybe looking like a professional at work would help.
English
@CommonsenseMA01 @meaghano9 @DaisyDroolz @hjessy_ @JoshKraushaar @BostonGlobe What's so wrong with track suits, @CommonsenseMA01?
English
I really appreciate that the @BostonGlobe delivers news on TikTok with a thick Boston accent
English
@char15299 @meaghano9 @hjessy_ @JoshKraushaar @BostonGlobe It’s a great piece of clothing for a TikTok video and a terrible one for a trustworthy purveyor of news. You conflated two things there.
English
@CommonsenseMA01 @meaghano9 @hjessy_ @JoshKraushaar @BostonGlobe Why? Maybe because her whole vibe pretty much screams "authenticity" and because in 2026 a track suit is perfectly fine attire to do a TikTok video.
English
@DaisyDroolz @meaghano9 @hjessy_ @JoshKraushaar @BostonGlobe Right. So I’m saying a person who has so little self respect or regard for her job that she looks like that isn’t worthy of my trust. That’s all I’m saying. Seems anodyne.
English
@CommonsenseMA01 @meaghano9 @hjessy_ @JoshKraushaar @BostonGlobe Sure there are choices. Are you familiar with any local main stream news channels? You can’t miss some of the attire, it’s designed that way for ratings.
English
@meaghano9 @DaisyDroolz @hjessy_ @JoshKraushaar @BostonGlobe You keep insulting me instead of responding to my point: I don’t put faith in people who don’t take their work seriously enough to look the part. If you ever learn to hold an actual argument, let me know.
English
@CommonsenseMA01 @DaisyDroolz @hjessy_ @JoshKraushaar @BostonGlobe Because it is the BOSTON GLOBE TikTok account, you melon. You’re not doing yourself any favors with this common sense thing you’re trying to portray.
English
@meaghano9 @DaisyDroolz @hjessy_ @JoshKraushaar @BostonGlobe Well might be with gauging the credibility of people. I wouldn’t trust a doctor who showed up to work in a track suit. She doesn’t take herself seriously so I have no idea why I think she takes her job seriously. And it’s TikTok, why would you face value believe anything there?
English
@CommonsenseMA01 @DaisyDroolz @hjessy_ @JoshKraushaar @BostonGlobe Honestly, I don’t think you’re living up to your screen name. This reporter has been in my city researching this story. I would rather have the news delivered promptly, rather than waiting for them to go home and do their hair and makeup. It’s a damn TikTok for Christ sake!
English
@meaghano9 @hjessy_ @JoshKraushaar @BostonGlobe Well if she’s trying to give a vibe that she is knowledgeable and informed, she doesn’t. I don’t spent a lot of time listening with rapt attention to people who look like they just rolled out of bed to go to work
English
@CommonsenseMA01 @hjessy_ @JoshKraushaar @BostonGlobe Emily is a newspaper reporter. That doesn’t require the whole newscaster look.
