So you’re saying one hp = one DAY of horse power. How is that even a measurement? How old is your horse and how hard can it work in a day? Lmao, this is turning into a comedy bit.
I make art that’s totally mine because I did it through AI. https://imgur.com/a/Rhgi0OC

Oh to be a fly on the wall when they explain what a graven image, adultery and manservant is to elementary school kids. No more superheros, pokemon or teen idol posters.
💲 Business Insider & Politico
◾ Owned by Axel Springer SE
In 2021 it was acquired for reportedly over 1 billion USD by Axel Springer SE, a German news publisher and media company. Axel Springer is Europe’s largest newspaper publisher and had previously acquired Business Insider. Unlike employees of its German newspapers, the employees of Politico do not have to sign Axel Springer’s mission statement that expresses support for Israel and America’s and Europe’s transatlantic alliance.
◾ Mathias Döpfner is CEO
He is the CEO and 22% owner of media group Axel Springer SE. From 2016 to 2022 he was president of the Federal Association of Digital Publishers and Newspaper Publishers (BDZV).
In 2020, Friede Springer appointed Mathias Döpfner as her successor through a combination of gifting, selling, and transferring voting rights associated with her shares in the company. As part of this transition, Springer sold a 4.1% share directly to Döpfner and gifted him an additional 15%, thereby increasing his direct ownership to 22%. Furthermore, Springer transferred to Döpfner the voting rights for her remaining 22% stake in the company.
In February 2023 The Economist reported on Döpfner’s plans to expand the Springer group’s media presence in the United States.
💲 The Atlantic
◾ Owned by Laurene Powell Jobs through the Emerson Collective
On July 28, 2017, The Atlantic announced that billionaire investor and philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs (the widow of former Apple Inc. chairman and CEO Steve Jobs) had acquired majority ownership through her Emerson Collective organization
NOTE: I’m having a hard time getting info on The Emerson Collective, its Wikipedia page is their corporate speak description. I’ll update if I come across something since The Atlantic is so bad that I skip it most days to even look at the headline.
◾ Nicholas Thompson is CEO
For Thompson, the role moves him from editorial leader to business figurehead. His experience as a top editor at both Wired and The New Yorker — another magazine owned by Conde Nast — undoubtedly helped prepare him for the latest shift.
Then call it a 1 Horse Team Power. It would be so easy to make it clear, lol. It’s not that serious, I just don’t get it.
🔷 British Broadcasting Company (BBC)
◾ The BBC is a statutory corporation, independent from direct government intervention, with its activities being overseen from April 2017 by the BBC Board and regulated by Ofcom.
In the United Kingdom, a statutory corporation is a corporate body created by statute. It typically has no shareholders and its powers are defined by the Act of Parliament which creates it, and may be modified by later legislation. Such bodies were often created to provide public services.
Its work is funded principally by an annual television license fee which is charged to all British households, companies, and organizations using any type of equipment to receive or record live television broadcasts or to use the BBC’s streaming service, iPlayer. The fee is set by the British Government, agreed by Parliament, and is used to fund the BBC’s radio, TV, and online services covering the nations and regions of the UK.
◾ CEO is Samir Shah
Dr Samir Shah, CBE (born 29 January 1952), is a British-Indian television and radio executive. He has worked for London Weekend Television, the BBC, and is the chief executive of Juniper TV, a British company. In 2021, he co-authored the UK government’s Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities report.
◾ Ofcom-the regulating authority
The Office of Communications, commonly known as Ofcom, is the government-approved regulatory and competition authority for the broadcasting, telecommunications and postal industries of the United Kingdom.
Ofcom has wide-ranging powers across the television, radio, telecoms and postal sectors. It has a statutory duty to represent the interests of citizens and consumers by promoting competition and protecting the public from harmful or offensive material.
◾ Board of Directors
The BBC Board is the governing board of the British Broadcasting Corporation. The board replaced the BBC Trust in April 2017.
Yes, but why not make it one horse=1hp? That sounds like early marketing.
Edit: Let me be clear, why not make the current 15hp = 1 horse and make the measurement be 1hp = 1 horse. It has nothing to do with engineering or marketing logic, just a 1:1 measurement.
I disagree that all landlords are parasites. It used to be boarders were extremely common. It can be a go between jobs or locations or whatever, that was its original intent. Having one or two properties is fine, it’s the mega corporations buying up entire cities and then pretending to be small owners renting them as air bnb’s and such that are the problem. Slum landlords, across the board, are shit as well.
Huh, they didn’t really explain what the venue question was. Smells kind of like bias or a bribe?
Last panel is perfection.
Or both, both is cool too.
This is sort of shocking to my system seeing this written down in this format. I didn’t realize that I still held some of these beliefs.
That’s what inuendo is for! So many to choose from and they make better headlines. Not from me, but from articles about him at the time.
Etc., etc.
That’s because the congressmen want to sell the company to their billionaire friends and let them hoard the data, not because they give a rats ass about anything else.
Whenever it’s 5-4, you can bet on that it’s the 5 that probably took bribes.
Friendly reminder, 5 out of 9 SCOTUS seem to have taken bribes:
Note: Someone finally caught it, I put Sotomayor’s incident in there as a joke. She was never counted in the 5 out of 9.

Lol, the other judges made Thomas dissent so it would be unanimous and it would sound better.
I think it did, someone said there was a bug with the new version that was pinning and unpinning posts. I bet that was fun to hunt down.
Aren’t they not selling? I wonder if insurance fraud is on the table.
