In the process of reporting an earlier story about Jeffrey Katzenberg’s problematic agewashing of Biden — and the fury it has engendered in Hollywood — I emailed Barry Diller, chairman of IAC, whose hiring of Katzenberg to be his assistant started Katzenberg’s entertainment career. When I asked the billionaire, who also became part of the Paramount process earlier this week, if he and his wife, designer Diane von Fürstenberg, were holding firm with the Biden campaign, he simply replied, “No.” (Diller maxed out with a $6,600 contribution to the Biden campaign in 2023, and gave $100,000 to the president and the Democratic Party’s joint super PAC for the general election.)

When asked his thoughts on the role that Katzenberg, described by the New York Times as Biden’s “Secret Weapon”, and who took an especially active role in campaign strategy as one of seven campaign co-chairs, may have had in concealing the true state of Biden, he said, “Fundraisers are pure cheerleaders for the candidates — they can’t be expected to have a political role.”

Thanks for replying! In my city of Long Beach, California there is a non-alcoholic “bar” that opened up. They have a whole menu of mocktails and it’s really a cool concept for those that don’t drink alcohol.

Try Dr. Pepper and bourbon. So good!

I remember the KHive from the Bernie days…

Kamala Harris Has A Vibrant Online Fan Club. But It Also Has A Toxic Side. The KHive aims to amplify and support the Democratic vice presidential nominee, but some of its members have crossed the line from ardent fandom to overt harassment.

Just because you don’t like the article, doesn’t mean it’s bullshit. It’s the NYT. Don’t be a Trumper by saying “fake news!”

They hate reality.

Mozz Mozz Mozz… C’mon man! I’m just getting the discussion going. I’ve never told you “don’t vote for Biden”. Here buddy…

Thank you for the cake day message!

Biden steps down and makes a powerful endorsement.

Delegates are open to choose a candidate.

DNC sets up a ranked voting process.

Top two have a run off

Superdelegates support the winner satisfying the nomination threshold.

A energized united party beats Trump and wins down ballot races.

-or-

opportunistic Democrats gaslight voters into thinking Biden is fine, “just lost his fastball”

Trump wins a legislative mandate

Democrats blame young voters and Progressives

I feel like we live in the Twilight Zone

Can’t wait for the commercials! /s

Health care workers in California were supposed to get a raise on July 1, part of a plan to gradually increase their pay to $25 per hour over the next decade. Now, if approved by the state Legislature next week, they could get that raise on Oct. 15 — but only if California’s revenues between July and September are at least 3% higher than what state officials have estimated.

If that doesn’t happen, the raise won’t start until Jan. 1 at the latest.

I definitely get the sense of community aspect of religion.

Well they better figure it out soon! The disinformation is through the roof on social media.

The latest right wing conspiracy theory is that Biden isn’t Biden and the CIA is using “CIA mask technology” on somebody for Biden’s public appearances. I shit you not. Boomers lead in the paint brains.

It’s pretty abysmal. It’s the oligarchy that picks who they want.

Here you go
