Seconding this! It's so so impressive and admirable.
Thriving in independent media for 25 years, without a) getting hoovered into some larger media org & subsequently axed, b) getting ruined by some hedge fund guy, c) falling afoul of any short-lived "pivot to video" style trends, or d) going broke...

... is a genuinely remarkable achievement! Kudos.

Donald Trump continues to enable, support & defend KNOWN child sex traffickers & pedophiles right in front of all of us and the world. The feckless cowards in the #GOP cannot deny this any longer. Their complicity stinks like any seat Donald Trump lifts his bloated rotting carcass from. Andrew Tate

Their own data shows that less than 1% might be fraudulent cases or clerical errors.

Read it again. Less than 1%.

Rather than clean up their own house, they’ll make the 99% jump through hoops.

It’s beyond apathy. It’s cruelty.

German taxpayers are handing BMW €273m to once again attempt to push hydrogen-powered cars, when battery prices have once again dropped >50% in the past ~18 month and CATL is on its 5th-gen LFP battery.

CATL, BYD et al must be laughing all the way to the bank.

Sigh.
