Trump, a main draw for Truth Social users and many retail investors in the company, said earlier in September that he will not sell his stake. The stock price briefly shot up after his remarks.

Other early investors have made no such promises. They include ARC Global, a sponsor of the blank-check firm that took Trump Media public, and United Atlantic Ventures, an entity controlled by two former contestants on Trump’s reality show “The Apprentice.”

I believe it’s not only that these investors made no promises not to sell, but that several of them specifically expressed that they would be selling as soon as they were legally allowed to do so.

It’s hard to accurately value Truth Social. But I think if Trump were to leave the platform, its value would go to zero, and that makes it very risky. I just saw a price of 12.74. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s still quite overvalued, and so it makes sense for those investors to try to sell at this price.

The “lie” that is one of the foundations that all modern medical science is based on?

I agree with you. Imagine being that guy and thinking that scientists are pretending to do research and lying to the public for zero benefit.

One idea is to look at what kinds of weeds want to grow there, and plant desirable plants that look similar to the weeds.

The problem is that if these people are voting for Jill Stein, then they are not actually voting for who they wish. Jill Stein is not the person who they think she is.

If she were to magically win the election, they’d by-and-large be extraordinarily disappointed in the result.

This is why misinformation and disinformation is so destructive in a democracy. The voters need to be properly informed.

It’s actually a lot more difficult and expensive to send something to the sun than to send it to Mars.

He should use the money he has now to build a rocket and send himself to Mars. That way he won’t have to worry about US government programs anymore.

It’s just such an obvious and outrageous lie. If you believe that, you’ll believe anything.

Also, if it was happening, wouldn’t the parents be the ones complaining? I mean, wouldn’t the parents be famous right now? They’d be on all the talk shows making the news circuit.

If this actually happened, the parents’ names would be famous. Trump would be parading these people around.

I also think he meant “defuse.”

Isn’t that the point in the interview, after Jason Miller says that the Harris campaign did something 100x worse, when you tell Miller that since he knows something that much worse, he should give an actual example?

“What, the curtains?”

“tiweird”?

It is Germany, yes, but it’s not “not Tesla.”

Many companies manage to make money without destroying significant numbers of trees.

Just because something unethical is legal doesn’t mean that the person doing that thing escapes all criticism.

Denying science isn’t really something that deserves to be called a “view”.

Biden would have a huge hill to climb here. Netanyahu has a lot of incentive to wait until after our election to take this sort of action. And meanwhile, he can choose between giving Biden a huge win or embarrassing Biden, again.

But I have repeatedly seen Biden succeed when faced with difficult diplomatic problems. So I have to admit that personally, this does get my hopes up a little.

I suspect that if you add up all the money Youtubers make, and you divide it by all of the man hours people spent trying to make a living off of Youtube, “poverty stricken PhD candidate” would start to seem like a good financial decision.

I generally disagree with the entire plan, but if you’re going to do anything like this, there is a large difference between getting caught with a weapon and not. Maybe even a squirt gun. You do not need to have a weapon to get convicted of robbing a bank.

But the speed at which signals propagate along the axons is below the speed of sound, sometimes much below—too slow to create the millions of neuron synchronizations that are the basis for all the amazing things the brain can do.

Is there a study where this is proven? I think that would be a more interesting read than this one.

Why do Minnesotans have accents?

Everybody has an accent. It’s a weird question that seems to indicate that some people either don’t have an accent or have some sort of “correct” accent.

If things had worked out differently, an accent like the Minnesotan accent could have been seen as the “correct” accent.

This article is about an out of control DeSantis removing several elected Democrats from their positions because he disagreed with them (because they were Democrats), and replacing them with Republicans.

Apparently, that’s what passes for a democracy in Florida.

There wasn’t some grand conspiracy to implement it, all that happened was the rich being opportunistic and taking advantage of a broken system as per usual.

Does anybody truly believe that conservatives behind these programs believed they were giving free money to help out poor people? That goes directly against their usual platform.

In my opinion, the thing you’re describing, where rich people convince politicians to give them money, while selling it as a way to make poor people wealthier, is a grand conspiracy, and the politicians were in on it.

It’s obvious if you compare it to an actual alternative: Take the same money and instead of giving it to rich people, use it to help poor people start small businesses through grants, tax breaks, and discounted loans.

I think it couldn’t be more blatantly obvious, but everybody is entitled to their own educated opinion.
