Sounds about right:
Bad guy fight!
Who could possibly have predicted that a sack of rabid badgers might start fighting each other.
“ Yiannopoulos was an odd fit for Ye’s camp in part because he had a history of bashing the rapper before joining him. Far-right activist Laura Loomer, who is feuding with Yiannopoulos, recently leaked direct messages that purport to show Yiannopoulos insisting that Ye is gay.
Yiannopoulos also has a history of secretly recording his one-time allies, once boasting that he has a hard drive full of compromising phone calls and other information on every “public figure” he had ever interacted with.”
He should be extra careful around windows.
Back in 2020, New York City officials unveiled an aggressive plan to revolutionize broadband in the city. The centerpiece of this Internet Master Plan involved building a $156 million open access fiber network that competitors could easily join at low cost, driving some much needed competition — and lower rates, faster speeds, and better coverage — to New York City residents.
It wasn’t meant to be.
Earlier this year, Mayor Eric Adams announced that the city would be “pausing” the initiative. In reality, folks who’d been working on the project for years told me repeatedly that the most ambitious portion of the plan — actively challenging the city’s telecom monopolies with an open access fiber network — was killed off without any consultation with the experts who crafted it.
I’m sure the alternative Mayor Adams went with is just as good…
What did the city do instead of spending $156 million on an open access fiber network? Well, for one, it embraced a partnership with Charter (Spectrum, a company that almost got kicked out of New York State for lies and substandard service) that involves paying the monopoly $90 million over three years to temporarily deliver cheaper broadband to around 400,000 low income housing project users.
As opposed to $156 million on an open access fiber network that would have driven numerous, local ISPs to compete in layers, driving down costs for those in range… permanently.
They were bought off.
With Kanye in the news a lot, it’s easy to forget this miserable taint is still kicking around
Ted Cruz is an asshole. But I sincerely hope that the young girl (his daughter or otherwise) gets the help she needs and deserves. Being a teenager in Ted Cruz’s family cannot be an easy existence.
Mental health issues among adolescents are at an all-time high right now, and adding in an absentee asshole father figure, I cannot say it would shock me if this is actually the case. But we do not know that for certain, and given the circumstances, should not speculate. This is a kid, and should be off-limits for political purposes.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the kid had an identity that doesn’t comport with dad’s beliefs. I think I remember the kid calling him out on that previously. Here’s hoping she gets the appropriate help that she needs.
Will they incarcerate Prince Heinrich XIII in a dungeon, as befits his station?
