You can see the permissions section is greyed out, and the app has default access to every sensor (including my microphone, call logs, body sensors, camera, and nearby devices) and data point available. You can’t revoke any of these. Location is allowed all the time and I can see that it accesses my location every couple of minutes.

Kenvue spun out of Johnson & Johnson in May of 2023 and has had a rocky start. Its shares were down more than 30-percent since its IPO, but they are popping on this news. Kimberly-Clark shares meanwhile are sliding as investors digest the hefty price tag and weigh the debt and risks that come with a mega deal.

Bigger picture - this is just part of a trend: big consumer brands are bulking up to handle rising costs and slower growth, and if approved, this one could be one of the largest buyouts in U.S. consumer history.

For shoppers however, this could mean less competition in the aisles and potentially higher prices.

That’ll do it for your daily briefing. From the New York Stock Exchange, I’m Caroline Woods with TheStreet.

I’m saying you haven’t got the ability to admit you were wrong, even when it was laid out simply for you. So, in all likelihood I’m just talking to myself and you’re insulting me for your own amusement.

Good luck figuring out literally anything that might possibly help.

Apology accepted.

And voting is going to happen, so. If saying “people should vote” prevents people from voting, um. Yeah that’s a thinker.

We disagree as to what caused this second trump insanity spiral. Okay. In exactly one year, will we agree on how to start climbing out of it?

Spoiler: They won’t.

I want you to look at something. This is me, okay?

I blame American lefty non-voters, yes.

I blame non-voters

Now listen to yourself:

You, instead, have doubled down on endorsing the Democratic Party’s practices by blaming people like me who had that same rock and a hard place vote and went a different direction.

You voted; I’m not blaming you. Therefore I can not double-down on blaming you. Do you understand that? If so, you understand that you are wrong. If not, we’ve both wasted our time.

You want to talk about reforming the DNC, making them worthy of everyone’s votes? Hell yeah. Me too. I got a whole bag of bitch to let out on the corporate dems.

But in exactly one year, whatever we get done is what we get done and it’s time to vote again. If you think we should not hinder the republicans by voting Democrat then say so. If you have another viable option then say so. Otherwise, voting Democrat is THE answer in the likely scenario of the midterm elections and if I support it GOOD. Fuckin’ YAY ME.

Fuckwits who want to do nothing but shit on the Dems and (wake up this is the important part) NOT VOTE are assholes and they need to get their shit together and help get us out of this turd reich.

The article is really well written, if you haven’t enjoyed it yet you should. Maybe in ten years you’ll be thinking about it and trying to find it again.

Well I’m impressed you managed to be wrong about every single thing and still be dedicated to the premise.

So, I presume in the absence of a national third party you’ll be allowing the republicans to walk away with it again?

Aaaaaaiiiigh!

Shhh its a seekrit

holy shit

No

He is damned.

Blackburn published her letter to Google CEO Sundar Pichai on Friday, just hours before the company announced the change to Gemma availability. She demanded Google explain how the model could fail in this way, tying the situation to ongoing hearings that accuse Google and others of creating bots that defame conservatives.

We hold the Democrats to a higher communications standard because - reasons, so I think what was happening was a weak attempt to attach it to a “known phrase” such as “not your grandfather’s [insert thing]” to be “catchy” and “memorable”.

Instead we can rightfully point out all the ways that’s wrong.

Then you should be good to go.

Shocked, yes shocked I am to find that journalism is taking a knee to fascism in this corporate establishment.

ffs

Journalism finds new ways to not state the obvious.

“Are we still talking about that guy???”
