In recent days, a number of prominent media brands have not only paused their paid marketing campaigns on the embattled Elon Musk-owned social platform, but have ceased posting on it altogether, going silent on the once essential site that sought to be the world’s “digital town square.”The flagship accounts belonging to Disney, Paramount, Lionsgate, Sony Pictures, Universal, and Warner Bros. Discovery (CNN’s parent company) have not posted on the platform in roughly 10 days, following Musk’s disturbing endorsement of an antisemitic conspiracy theory, which he still has not apologized for.
None of the studios commented on the record when CNN reached out for comment. But people familiar with the social media strategies of Paramount and WBD confirmed under the condition of anonymity that it’s no coincidence: the companies have made the active decision to stop posting under certain handles on X due to concerns, including brand safety.
The blackout on X extends beyond these companies’ corporate accounts, in some cases. For instance, the most high profile accounts affiliated with Disney have gone dark on X, such as @StarWars, @Pixar, and @MarvelStudios, which were previously posting multiple times a day on the platform to their millions of followers. Instead, these brands have switched over to the Meta-owned rival Threads, where they have started actively posting.

KEVN Fox (Rapid City, SD): ‘Freedom’ not enough to fill South Dakota jobs: Local business leaders say there are hurdles with campaign
It’s difficult to get folks to move to the Dakotas so, I guess credit for trying even if the message is reddish. Unfortunately, at least half of the people who move to SD are not workers but retirees looking for low taxes and MAGA land.
This particular effort is more for promoting Gov Noem (and sending ad money out to OH and TN ad agencies) and, as a result, isn’t the most transparent or well-run. It’s also led to uncoordinated each-town-is-on-their-own extra expenses trying to ferret out actual interest.
“Before I made my way through the data, I wanted to know exactly what the Department of Labor did or what filtration they used,” said Clifton. “I got a bunch of gobbledygook that basically said, ‘We can’t tell you what we did, but we did all we could do.’ I’m a little suspicious about that because I’ve been involved in a lot of marketing campaigns that were very specific about impressions. There’s going to be a lot of heavy lifting on the back end to get this into a net result of who actually makes the move and takes a job.”
I did laugh at the final paragraphs:
“My dream would be to build a Forgotten Fifteen compound and the front of it would look just like the entrance to Mount Rushmore,” said Armstrong. Asked if it would be built in South Dakota, he said it was more likely to be built in the state where most of his fellow Marines currently reside.

My company had a job opening in SE Iowa a few years ago. Our boss half-jokingly asked if anyone was interested. No takers.
While we were talking about it, I jumped on Wikipedia to look up where the plant was. The town it is in is also the county seat, population 9,000+. County population: 20,000+ over 437 sq mi.
My development is 10,000+ in 3 sq mi. Just the housing development, not the town I live in. Our county is over half a million in 227 sq mi.
I bring this up because I was having a conversation about benefits with the HR person who lives out there, and she off-handedly mentioned the distances she has to drive to get medical attention.
I know people here live in those types of areas and more power to you; I’m not passing judgement or anything. But given the medical issues both my partner and I have had over the last five years, the thought of adding multi hour one-way drives on a regular basis to the other stress is like… ugh, no thank you. I always joke about trying to get away from humanity, but then stuff like that hits me in the face.

My daughter was a little less than thrilled about some stuff but she was a trooper and really liked the outdoors and the kuchen.

The bolded is why red states are only going to continue to be net importers of federal dollars: They’re saddled with rapidly aging populations which are only growing due to an influx of retirees attracted by a low tax environment, they’re largely dependent upon industries that are either subject to fluctuation (tourism) or are slowly declining (fossil fuel extraction), and decades of budget-cutting to appease the far-right have left them poorly equipped to appeal to businesses looking for room to expand.

Gonna kind/sorta disagree. Whatever its other flaws (which, IMO, are mainly cultural, not economic) Texas, at least, has made/is making an effort to try to diversify the state’s economy into something more resembling a diversified, technology-driven “21st-Century” model, vs. the pure extractionism it had grown up on; one in which the “influx of cheap labor” is (like California) a peripheral bonus, not a core driver.
Though, then again, those “cultural” factors (not least the political power-structure which more resembles North Korea than the USA) are likely to impede/retard development as much as they advance it…

Interesting to see the shapes side-by-side for ND and MN. Too be honest, I’m surprised by the bulge of college-, and post-college-age folks in ND (ages 20 to 34 are the longest on the graphs). The 20-24 age group can be explained by Minnesotans coming to NDSU and UND on the border but enough must be sticking around Fargo and Grand Forks and enough stayed around out west after the oil boom to explain the continued bulge from 25 to 34. MN population is much more consistent among the age groups.
