It's easy to see why there was so much resistance to getting these released. It's not just Trump in there, it's every fucker, all chatting away pleasantly even when he'd already done one jail sentence for sex trafficking. Even Noam fucking Chomsky is cosying up to him.

My guess it was okayed by someone who checked it on their mobile without zooming in. Or more likely a troll job.

Yup, suddenly now they’re interested in nuance

It’s a trick to keep preserving an awful status quo in perpetuity for your whole life.

Surely the fascists will pack up and go home if the Democrats can just win this one time…

You can tell what someone’s politics are by what they consider to be a political topic.

The name isn’t a coincidence. Akio Toyoda is a classic generational wealth nepo baby, the grandson of the founder of Toyota. Of course he’d be a Trumper.

"Outperforms 70% of Gaming PCs" is the sort of statistic you'd only quote if you thought it sounded more impressive than it actually was, and it already doesn't sound impressive.

(edit: genuinely surprised how controversial a statement that turned out to be?)

Also this story is very old but gets reposted all the time always explicitly stirring anti-vegan snark with captions like "Least annoying vegan".

The meat industry is one of the worst polluters on the planet and they spend a lot of money pushing anti-vegan sentiment.

Overall it would be reasonable article, were it not completely fucked up by a ragebait headline. They're obviously not in 'survival mode', unless you count 'survival mode' as not being able to refresh your cars to the newest model every three years.

But, there is another way of reading the article, which is that someone on $100k is much closer to someone on $30k than they are to a billionaire. They're still in the class of people who feed their families by working salaried jobs to generate wealth for others; hating on them is the difference between righteous class warfare versus simple-minded jealousy.

Anyone remember when Wikipedia was the default byword for Unreliable Internet Source? The internet used to be good.
