They extract wealth from the poor, like those people are some natural resource to be strip-mined or livestock to be sheared/milked/etc.

Capital gains is people! People, I tell you!

I'm thinking that a lot more people in media should watch "Glass Onion".

It's a bad sign when I agree with the bad guy.
Still from the 1960 movie "The Magnificent Seven" of the villain Calvera (Eli Wallach) sneering at the protagonists off-screen and saying, "If God didn't want them sheared, he would not have made them sheep."

I have no wish to support that Stillson of a governor.

Maybe we should be calling Trump "Jefferson Davis" instead; it'd probably be more accurate. #MAGADelendaEst #ShermanStoppedTooSoon
Photo of some dweeb on CNN, captioned, "When you call Trump 'Hitler', you're calling 80 million Americans 'Nazis'". Meme is credited to an at tag of "Right Winged Angel".

This is not the time for yet more "journalism" that pulls its punches. This is the time for actual journalists to hit as hard as they can.
The iconic comic book panel from "Judge Dredd" of the titular character punching the villainous Judge Fear clear through his face and out the back of his head while shouting "Gaze into the fist of Dredd!"

We have these things that are like pipelines, but for electricity. They work really well. (And the premiers are working on improving the connectivity between provinces.)

Clearly mimeograph rights are human rights. Solidarity with OCR!
Screencap of a remarkably misguided post claiming that much of the opposition to LLM-model chatbots miscalled "ai" is based on bigotry. It's a set of computer code and anthropomorphising it puts people who actually are vulnerable at risk.

I don't get why folks object to block lists. They save so much time and aggravation.

I don't know how a democracy can survive an electorate that can't tell the difference between the news and sci-fi on TV.

The only appropriate response to that sort of rambling; hit 'em back harder.
Popular meme image of a pair of women in an old-fashioned kitchen. The woman on the left says, "The moon landing was faked!" The woman on the right replies, "Pfft, you believe in the moon?"

Pretty sure that's just a troll with no particular aim beyond spreading chaos.

Dear reader, I nuked it's sorry arse.

Homeopathy doesn't even stand up when judging it by its own terms, let alone in terms of observable reality.

Dunno if it's a bit or not; either way I've taken steps to ensure that I never know.
