“Dave Limp, the chief executive of one of my companies, Blue Origin, met with former president Donald Trump on the day of our announcement,” Bezos wrote. “I sighed when I found out, because I knew it would provide ammunition to those who would like to frame this as anything other than a principled decision. But the fact is, I didn’t know about the meeting beforehand. Even Limp didn’t know about it in advance; the meeting was scheduled quickly that morning. There is no connection between it and our decision on presidential endorsements, and any suggestion otherwise is false.”

“Presidential endorsements do nothing to tip the scales of an election. No undecided voters in Pennsylvania are going to say, ‘I’m going with Newspaper A’s endorsement.’ None. What presidential endorsements actually do is create a perception of bias. A perception of non-independence. Ending them is a principled decision, and it’s the right one,” Bezos wrote

“Who are you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes?”

next time you have a thought

let it go

That’s a start.

Funny, I feel the same way.

Do you have anything to add that isn’t merely insulting? Like, a thought. Do you have any thoughts to share? Inside of your head. do you have any

cope

I don’t think you know what that word means.

Take me to court, I’d love to see what a well crafted subpoena would do in discovery.

Edit: Actually, that’s unironically a great point. I should put in a complaint to the FTC.

This is the second time you’ve put words in my mouth to derogate my opinion. I never described myself as surprised, and I can imagine you’re struggling to believe that I am because it isn’t true.

The verge is an advertisment bureau doing what they do, and I’m not surprised to find them shilling, I’m disappointed to find you (and so many others) actively supporting- no, insisting on being advertised to.

business journalism

for when you want to legitimize your advertising

I would not have reported this advertisement as news. The thing I would have done differently is not be a shill.

I’m not upset at prices changing, don’t put words in my mouth. I’m disappointed to see an ad here. I don’t care about this Subscription Service (With High-Res Audio and Atmos!), I do care about not being advertised to. If I wanted to know about the price of a service I’d go to the service and competitors directly.

Fuck this person’s paid opinions.

I am too familiar with this gaudy website and its concept of journalism.

By way of advertisement, yes.

This is just an ad read.

Yuzu is dead. Long live Yuzu.

Am I reading this right- they don’t have a finished product or a business model? This reads like a press release from the “pump” stage of a “pump’n’dump.”

How do I block specific websites?

fucking. why. if new reddit is soooooo fucking good just stick with it.

Quora is somehow always in the first page near the top of results on questions, generally directly adjacent to the hallucinated “people also asked” list.
