They know she's popular enough to win a general election one day, just as they knew Bernie was. But the moderate crowd would rather lose with one of their own than win with a progressive

For all the people saying he's sleeping with her

You can tell he's so hurt by her saying 81 million people fired him and world leaders are laughing at him

There's no mention of any of this in an article about how she qualified. In fact, you can go and watch her qualifications on YouTube and it looks like she did 1v1 battles against some mediocre opposition and won each time.

From what I could find, her husband's name is Samuel Free and I can't find his name listed on either the AusBreaking or DanceSport Australia websites.

Maybe some Lemmy sleuths can find something to confirm that something nefarious was going on here, but to me it just looks like the idea that her qualification was rigged is just a Reddit rumour. If anything, it looks more likely that she participated in a closed qualification system that didn't allow for the best competitors to show up

While it does sound like that, in OPs defence they are actually making a public service announcement to everyone else rather than blaming the victim in this case

Can't see anything but a turned head, even with this guide

Then it was only a matter of time before the ideas of men like Newton, Franklin, Voltaire and Rousseau spread like wildfire among the population

Ah yes, the famous Newtonian peasant revolt

They actually know a lot of stuff is harmless but it's Security Theatre that was meant to make people feel better about flying after 9/11

Spotify is also a record label now. They probably need an entire division devoted just to the marketing and strategy needed to make that successful

This isn't an anti-trust case, it's just anti-China posturing and lobbying from Meta and friends bearing fruit. Google and Meta will fight for the users and their monopolies will grow even more menacingly bloated

They suspended journalists and researchers who posted the identity of a neo-Nazi cartoonist after he made a direct appeal to Musk for support. It was free-speech and not against Twitter's terms of service to post the man's name since it was newsworthy and already in the public domain, but Musk doesn't actually care about free speech. He cares about the right to offend and say heinous shit without being shut down or 'canceled.' If you attack him or his allies (even the neo-Nazi ones) then he conveniently drops the free speech crusade

This is a real guy, sadly. Very well known and influential in certain Effective Altruism/Pseudointellectual Silicon Valley cicles
