So I didn't think anything of the UK/Aussie cartoons about the Kate Middleton photo, but a substack I read just did a interesting post on Where the hell is Kate Middleton?Jeremiah Johnson posted:Long time readers will know I write a lot about celebrity and social media PR campaigns. The core focus of this blog is analyzing the social internet, and while analyzing PR campaigns isn’t exactly the same, it’s definitely related. Good PR relies on being able to anticipate how the social media currents will react to a particular spin on events, and bad PR results from misreading how people will feel.

They probably do get some as revenue from YouTube I assume. Edit: also it’s not prime time or on broadcast tv so I’m not sure comparing those other shows’ ratings is quite fair.

I was going to complain about the Sorensen cartoon that EV makers are mandated to add sound to their cars for pedestrian safety, as normally the electric engines run so quietly it’s easy for people to not think about checking for traffic before walking into a street. But no, no, having checked some news stories, it is literally car manufacturers adding the option of EVs making big loud vroom vroom sounds both outside and inside of the car on start up and acceleration.

OK. I actually have no problem with that if it gets people on board. You know, as long as they're not fake-revving their engines anywhere near me

Its a dodge, they will literally run down their batteries more by making fake revving sounds than they will by actually driving them. Especially at night when you are trying to sleep.

Loud enough that continuous exposure can cause permanent hearing damage in less then a minute. If assholes want to put on headphones and blow our their eardrums, fine, go nuts. But having external speaker on cars blasting that noise for no reason is a public nuisance.

DalaranJ posted:Great comic, now to take a big swig of water before I read Horsey's commentary. I read a Seattle Times article about the "Jaywalking debate" and even the somewhat Horsey-aligned newspaper mentions important things Horsey leaves out of his "Police are just doing their job to protect driver and pedestrian safety when they arrest people for jaywalking" concern trolling. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/homeless/jaywalking-debate-pits-safety-concerns-against-unnecessary-stops-of-homeless-people/ The Seattle Times posted:The jaywalking report found that people of color are also disproportionately stopped for jaywalking. Black people receive a fifth of jaywalking tickets given in the state, despite making up 4% of the population. Also, Horsey's talk about San Francisco schools not offering algebra to students below 9th grade leaves out the funding and staffing issues San Francisco schools have (or had, as of September 2023 - I'm not sure where to find more up-to-date information). https://sfstandard.com/2023/09/26/san-francisco-supervisor-algebra-eighth-graders/ The San Francisco Standard posted:The school district continues to face multiple crises including payroll problems, large staffing vacancies, chronic absences and other issues. In response, district leadership has embarked on a listening tour and shaped academic goals with the Board of Education while also working to reshape its central office structure. Why does an extremely wealthy city like San Francisco underfund its public schools and teachers so much? What the actual gently caress? Isn't that a more important and possibly causal question to ask then "Why no 8th grade algebra?"
