Yeah, he's widely known outside of California, but largely because he's a massive punching bag for conservatives. Not a good pick for a presidential race.
And who realistically is a better choice at this point? I can't think of a single other Democrat with the recognition to pull a presidential campaign together in 3 months.
People love this talking point, as if Hillary didn't also win the popular and electoral votes in that primary. She still would've had the nomination of there were no super delegates.
I wanted 8 years of Bernie too, but let's chill with the conspiracy theories.
The 250th anniversary of the signing of US declaration of independence will be in 2026.
The state is also requiring a four-paragraph “context statement” about how the commandments “were a prominent part of American public education for almost three centuries”.
That could realistically be around 1/3 yearly profit in a reasonable company (18% operating margin is common). No idea whether Twitter is currently profitable (it wasn't when he bought it).
This headline uses "millionaires" to mean "people with over a million dollars in annual income" rather than "people with over a million dollars in net worth"

You don't even need "power hungry mods" for that to go wrong, you just need mods who don't care. That's EXACTLY where Facebook and Twitter are right now. Getting content removed there is basically impossible, I've reported people for death threats and was told they never violated community standards.
If the platform isn't going to moderate itself, the users should be able to.
While it's true that the downvote often gets abused as a way to stifle otherwise-good discussion, without it it's hard to deal with discussion that truly should NOT be happening.
There's a reason election denial is more common and looks more legitimate on Facebook and Twitter. It's because they don't have a mechanism for people to nuke that discussion out of the top of the thread.
There was some social commentary in that golden casino planet where the rich lived in excess while the poor barely got by (pay no attention to the Jabba behind the curtain)
And, of course, they cast minorities in leading roles!
$100M of $VT, secure my ultra-comfortable retirement right then and there.
