It’s gonna take a miracle to pull me back off the high seas again. Netflix was big enough to do it all those years ago, but I can’t even imagine what could do it now.
I’m shocked! Who could have guessed this slimy invertebrate would have zero regard for anyone but himself!?
It’s wild that if anyone were to suggest killing Lindsey Graham they would probably be arrested and called a terrorist. But he can just casually advocate for nuking a densely populated area that is inhabited mostly by civilians and a bunch of brain dead morons will still vote for him.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas told attendees at a judicial conference Friday that he and his wife have faced “nastiness” and “lies” over the last several years and decried Washington, D.C., as a “hideous place.”...
Aw, poor sugar baby Clarence doesn’t like when people call out his blatant abuse of power for personal gain? I guess you should just do the country a favor and fucking retire.
EA CEO Andrew Wilson confirmed the company is considering putting ads in traditional AAA games — titles that players purchase up-front for around $70 apiece. In the Q&A part of EA’s latest earnings call, Eric Sheridan from Goldman Sachs asked Wilson about dynamic ad insertion in traditional AAA games. Wilson said,...
This is, once again, a crossroads. Either you buy their ad riddled game and reward this shit behavior or you stop buying EA games until it is removed. There are no other choices.
Donald Trump dangled a brazen “deal” in front of some of the top US oil bosses last month, proposing that they give him $1bn for his White House re-election campaign and vowing that once back in office he would instantly tear up Joe Biden’s environmental regulations and prevent any new ones, according to a bombshell new...
Obviously this kind of behavior should be illegal. And it’s not surprising at all to see it from Trump, especially with zero tact. But I particularly like how the writer pretends like the vast majority of US politicians aren’t also kissing the rings of the big oil industry.
I’d wager most, if not all, people in this country have never lived outside of the direct influence of the oil barons. They have used their money and power to fuck us over at every possible opportunity if it means they get even more money and even more power.
Browsing the web I came across this (meta) search engine. From the first glance, it seems promising and giving quite a good results to my searches. Definitely better than Google, Bing or DDG, which tend to be full of SEO/ads/AI bullshit these days. Does anyone use it?...
Regardless of what side of the issue being protested you are on if you are in favor of cops in riot gear breaking up a peaceful protest, you are a traitor to our country.
It’s that simple. You cannot stand for American values and cheer that a peaceful protest was dismantled by government goons.

I never really understood who these products were for. I can’t help but think the only end result is a small number of people getting rich off of VC money and some misguidedly optimistic folks getting ripped off by buying these devices.
What fucking pretend world do they think we live in? Did republicans make food more affordable and I missed it? Did they hold corporations accountable for price gouging, shrinkflation, or the false claims of inflation?
Right. Because it is literally impossible to earn that much money legally by the time you’re 30.
Hell I’d wager that most of the time it takes more than a single lifetime to accumulate that wealth and that’s not including the lifetimes of all the workers that are ruthlessly exploited in the process.
