Mr Beast is very emblematic of modern fame where he’s very successful, incredibly rich, gets 12 billion views on everything, and simultaneously, at the very same time, no one gives one single shit about him

the idea that freedom is in our DNA is just a misinterpretation of the fact that we’re a nation of finicky whiners who don’t like to be personally inconvenienced

At least we no longer have to hear about freedom being in Americans' DNA or whatever. Turns out we love to eat shit and bow to some bloated halfwit like any other people throughout history

Let's be clear on who Christopher Columbus was, a conquerer who spread disease & slavery who was so sadistic in the ways he treated natives he appalled the architects of the Spanish Inquisition. That's the fact of him there is to reclaim.

Why is a class action lawsuit against Amazon alleging Prime Day is a scam getting zero coverage by mainstream media?

Could it be because media outlets get a cut when a customer purchases a Prime Day product when clicking through their featured deals?

UPDATE: Lawsuit alleges Prime Day is a fraud

The federal class action lawsuit has been ignored by major media outlets, which continue to promote Prime Day deals.

These freaks keep getting on TV talking about opposing antifa and how they believe antifa wants to destroy them, and not a single person in mainstream media has asked or commented on what is the opposite of antifascism and who is threatened by antifascists

"subpar tech that was designed for rentseeking rather than performance" is my new favorite way to describe why everything is terrible

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 17h

These guys have gotten incredibly rich by fleecing the government with subpar tech that was designed for rentseeking rather than performance. A smart Dem agenda item would be to build internal tech capacity. The fact that it would punish these guys is just a silver lining.
