It was super apparent that everyone of those “titans of industry” understood this and acted the very first day he was sworn in. Which means they’d started work when they realised he was going to win. It’s fertile ground for them because MAGA-Americans are the most credulous people on earth.

The Telegraph going after the Quakers because the Quakers won't be assholes to trans people. That opening paragraph by Daniel Martin is lol. It's Helen Joyce doing the accusing.

Absolutely surreal to have lived through the Napster days and watched as the titans of industry moved hell and high water to lock down any possible chance that someone's song might get swapped online without giving the studios a cut and now those same people are just like "well we gotta steal music"

This guy is like one of 4 Americans who actually went and got their REAL ID and immediately they said it was a fake. Just so everyone knows when they toss your ass in a truck it won't matter what passport or identification you have they'll throw it in the street and you're gone

Indiana Governor Mike Braun, and his ‘Christian pastor’ Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwith, just opted out of a federal program that would feed 700,000 children over the summer. It’s important to note Mike just had a helipad installed at his private residence on the taxpayers dime.

The cement king of Sioux City who drives a brand new F-350 and has two vacation houses in Florida isn't an elite but a grad student with $200,000 in debt and a nose ring is, that's how this works.
