“You’ve got a friend in me…”

SomaFM has been up a remarkable number of years, more or less in its current format. It’s not everyone’s jam, but props to them to keep a good thing going.

The roads go to absolute shit crossing from Ohio into Indiana. And it’s not like we have exactly great roads here…

This almost feels like a bet, or an experiment, by social media political manipulators. Like, one guy says to another, “I bet I can make Cracker Barrel change their logo back in less than two weeks using nothing more than a social media outage campaign.” “Deal.”

And then they do it, with some carefully planted posts across many platforms, and some well-placed calls to conservative commentators, calling attention to those posts. They successfully demonstrate their social media manipulating prowess, and ultimately sell their wares for the upcoming election cycle.

I mean, they do have a voting block that regularly donates to televangelists… Those extra private jets have to come from somewhere.
