Planned obsolescence epitomizes capitalism. A prime example is the 1920s Phoebus cartel, where light bulb makers cut lifespans from 2,500 to 1,000 hrs. A practice that today extends to electronics and appliances, driving environmental harm, increasing waste and depleting resources.

I’m not surprised Trump wants to expand the U.S., but I am surprised he knows where Greenland, Canada, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Panama Canal are. What happened? Did someone buy him a globe?

The whole Trump cabinet reminds me of when Bolsonaro wanted to appoint his son as Brazil’s ambassador to the U.S.
— Sure, but what international diplomatic experience does he have?
— Well, he was an exchange student and briefly worked at McDonald’s in DC.

I came home from the theater hungry for more and dove into a marathon of Nosferatu—both Murnau’s and Herzog’s —followed by Coppola’s Dracula.
I can only hope Eggers continues crafting masterpieces like this for years to come. He has already cemented his place as the preeminent master of dark cinema

Debunking the idea that US capitalism is bad because it is not pure enough.

The irony is how the defense of billionaires cloaks systemic exploitation in the language of freedom. As if the billionaire’s yacht is somehow built on “fair trade” and not on the backs of workers coerced into selling their labor under a system designed to enrich the few at the expense of the many.

I wouldn’t resort to violence myself, but I honestly don’t care if someone decides to take out some worthless piece of trash. There are children being bombed and starving to death as we speak—not to mention the countless victims of predatory health insurance companies, their CEOs, and lobbyists.

It’s amusing how every incel on 4chan suddenly transforms into a literary critic the moment something is labeled “too woke,” even when it’s highly praised by actual specialized media.
