2018 was definitely the year for a lot of online people. Classic Deadspin blog on this:

Any good-faith debate starts with scrolling through 200 replies from bots and the worst people that have ever been online.

I think it was 2020, but they definitely employed a former National Review staffer who did this on purpose with their election coverage.
It was pretty clear they were exploiting relationships with people they met in National Review circles, and then passed it off the same way as this.

"So, you see, the puppy was like Russia. In that, they were both lost in the woods. And nobody, especially the little boy - "NATO" - knew where to find 'em. Except that the puppy was a dog. But DEI, my friends, that was woke."

It's a certainty that Tom Brady and Snoop Dogg will be back for Super Bowl LX with another Ad to stop "AntiTeslaism".
*Sponsored by the Anti-Tesla Defamation League, who are also lobbying to have all of GM's Detroit plants resettled in Jordan.

lol, I don't know what's more psychotic: having your identity be having the first reply to every Trump Tweet, or appearing out of nowhere to write "fewer" in response to a joke.

We'll see who's laughing when Ritchie Torres is personally invited by Trump to stand beside him (yellow hard hat, and shovel in hand) for the groundbreaking of the "Trump Hotel Gaza". That's how Dems win.

Would also probably be a good time for someone in the US media to maybe question whether Trump even musing about this "plan" isn't putting a target on the back of every American citizen for the next, oh, 1000 years.

I can only speculate that they believe it is a crime to say something unflattering about Pete.
I made a joke in a reply to the person that asked that question, and was immediately blocked by everyone, and presumably "reported" as well.
I mean this is who we're dealing with here:

Not showing proper deference to an ineffectual Transportation Secretary and former employee of one of the most evil companies in human history.
Now can I get a "Yay!!! PEEEETE!" from you before we are both blocked by everyone in the replies?

You would be hard pressed to find a difference between the NYT's reader comments about Kendrick Lamar, and The National Review's.
I guess Times' readers get a point for having better grammar when expressing racism openly.

Glover and Pesci would film a State of the Union-like "rebuttal", and rehash their bit from the South African embassy.

Yeah, if there's anything Canada's banking system needs, it's the volatility and chaos caused by the United States having regular bank runs and subsequent bailouts funded by taxpayers.

I guess it's a silver lining for me that whenever a UK publication goes viral, I can't read it without hearing Matt Lieb and Vince Mancini's British accent impressions.
My brain naturally adds "yeah" and "oi" 2-3 times per sentence.

My pitch to Netflix:
Take ~$5MIL and hire artists in the style of Drew Struzan to create posters for your "Netflix Original" slop.I guarantee this will decrease the number of customers vomiting while navigating your menus, and would generate more revenue than another season of Stranger Things.

In a parallel universe, Pornhub is the only place to read an excerpt from Stephen King's new book, and Hunter S. Thompson is still alive and filing dispatches from an MMA fight in Abu Dhabi, in which a Pornhub branded travel bag is featured prominently.

It's funny that behind the headline, all Brooks is pining for is 2000-era neocons like Rumsfeld-- "serious folks" ready to start an illegal hot war at the drop of a hat.
Apparently the only people that suit these dangerous times.

CNN having Pamela Brown comfort a weeping James Woods(!!!) on air, only for him to predictably take to twitter to use the recent MSM attention to blame everything from "liberal idiots" to DEI for the fires, is a perfect preview of the next 4 years and beyond.

It's all kayfabe. Whatever they might say publicly about each other, and like most senators and congressmen, their fraternity to each other as elites supersedes giving a piss about anything involving you or I.

I think you're forgetting that before 2010, an average of 15000 disabled Americans died everyday because of inequity in accessing Burger King.
Also, there are now 110,000,000 disabled Americans that depend on food delivery services, so you're essentially promoting genocide.

I don't think he even knows what Substack is in this context--essentially Patreon for journalists that have been downsized out of what's left of the industry.
In this particular case, there is only one person to direct any vitriol or disgust towards: Patrick Soon-Shiong.

I see that "Themistocles Wall" has quote-tweeted themself 28 times from the original message. Having a very normal one.
Can only imagine what it's like to interact with hundreds of these people, IRL, on the campaign trail.
