I definitely think that Harris has a better chance than Biden, but I agree. The current surge in optimistic articles about Harris feels like it's riding a wave of elation following Biden's withdrawal.

People want to be reaffirmed in their belief in Harris, these articles feed that need.

Erdogan is a whole new level of grifter.

Actually, I'd love to hear from anybody younger than 30. Does this article make sense to you at all?

It is. I still wish it "Politics" would default to WorldPolitics" and USPolitics was it's own thing, instead of the other version where Politics and News is US stuff and the general topics need the "World" prefix.

... Generating buy-in? I'm sorry but what?

"It seems the things I do on the job translate well to my gaming tables..."

What is this, /linkedinlunatics?

If you're trying to push free advertising on a fedi board then please, leave that at the door. I play D&D to get away from my job, not to optimize engagements and maximise profits.

They're slowing creeping in here in Denmark.

There is one around the corner from where I live. It doesn't display anything but time and temperature (yet), but every time I walk past I secretly hope they've fired up the rave machine.

To be fair, its probably pretty hard to stay ahead of the curve when your format is limited to "guy in kitchen / bar makes food / drink from relevant pop culture series / movie"

That said, completely agree on Babish. Dude tried to grow his channel way too aggressively and burned out I think. Went from uploading a main video every week to showing up once a month at most, with regular uploads mostly featuring other people.

AvE.

He used to be a bulwark against idiocy and koolaid drinkery, advocating for calmness and common sense.

...and then he called Justin Trudeau a Nazi and bought into vaccine skepticism.

Asking the real question.

One nitpick with this: This only applies to the US.

I get that a large percentage of Lemmy (and Reddit, earlier on) are from the US, but it bugs me that things like this default to being US-centric without mentioning it.

Awesome initiative, nonetheless!

That's brilliant.

You know how once in a blue moon you look at news story that's sounds completely crazy and go "huh"? Like when buzzfeed suddenly started using all their clickbait money to fund good, legitimate journamism?

This would be that.
