Jefferson Pilot Sports, those were the days!

Just catching up on this ... 5 seems like a lot ... glad to hear it's not a mass exodus/Dean issue ... I think?

I dunno, just felt like posting ...

Auburn vs. Oregon will kickoff in Prime Time at 6:30pm on ABC.

How did Hughes not address this? He explicitly calls this out; even mentions Zuck's 60% voting override on the oversight board. I disagree. As the article points out, there hasn't been a new social media platform since 2011. And even when there are, FB now has the scale they can either buy them (e.g., IG, Whatsapp), block them (i.e., Vine) or copy/defeat them (i.e., Snapchat).

Chris Hughes, a co-founder of FB penned this op-ed in the NYT. I'm not sure I agree with the conclusion he reaches but it's hard to argue against some of his underlying points. Thoughts? A long but fascinating read ... https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/09/opinion/sunday/chris-hughes-facebook-zuckerberg.html

A couple of quotes like this in front of a prime audience would launch Mayor Pete into orbit ... "The fact that I was packing my bags for Afghanistan when he was filming season seven of 'Celebrity Apprentice,' we could have that fight," he said. "And if somebody wants to raise the question of which one of us has a more traditional attitude on marriage, we can have that fight." "But at the end of the day, it's not about him, it's not about me," Buttigieg said. "Because here's the thing about this president. He has the ability to take any attention that comes his way, including attacks and criticism, and just kind of devour it, so we could unintentionally be feeding the beast by competing to see who's the one going to be landing the biggest punch, the best zinger, and the reality, if you step back and think about the mentality, that's an environment where it's almost like he's the one we're trying to impress." https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/05/05/buttigieg_i_welcome_a_fight_with_trump_over_who_has_a_more_traditional_attitude_on_marriage.html

I think Warren would kick some serious ass on progressive policies, I'm just not sure how electable she is at this point. Hope to be proven wrong. Buttigieg is extremely intriguing to me and I think he's the one to watch out of all of them.

I agree. Biden isn't the guy for 2020, IMHO.

Loving this stuff, @StatTiger! Good to see you back around. War Eagle!
