Not caring what the biggest piece of shit in the world has to say about another giant piece of shit isn’t apathy. I care deeply about how these scumbags are so openly corrupt and get away with it time and time again. I don’t even live in the USA but the entire world is being affected by this bullshit. If Musk is going to do something about it great, but he’s not, he’s saying this because he knows it’ll get him some more attention.

Again, so what? Either do something about it or fuck off, if there are no consequences what does it matter? I assume if they’re a right winger and big enough that people would recognise their name, they’re probably in there. Obviously some Dems too, but there’s a definite trend.

It’s infuriating that he comes back to get the last word and prove that he didn’t learn anything.

I’m sure plenty of homeless people will get to stay there 😊

I don’t think they do convey the same information.

“They don’t know what the f*** they’re doing.” US President Donald Trump delivered an extraordinary four-letter outburst as he criticised breaches of the Israel-Iran ceasefire. Trump aimed the bulk of his anger at Israel, saying he would try to avert further planned attacks.

All the summary has done is remove the quote. That part IS the news that’s being reported on, it matters just as much as the context.

Qatar was the “obvious choice” for Iranian retaliation against the US because it hosts the largest US military base in the Middle East while also acting as a trusted intermediary for Tehran, Al Jazeera’s Dorsa Jabbari explained after the missile attack near Doha.

This one has removed the source (which is fair enough if you think that’s not useful information, but I wouldn’t agree), one of the two reasons given, and the context. Someone who only sees this summary will have no idea what it’s about or how to look into it further, which means they’re going to have to read the (one sentence) article anyway.

As for paragraphs, yes. Text that looks like this

is not useful to anybody. I’m not reading this, you haven’t read this. It’s awful.

Obviously. Point is it’s either completely unreadable or completely unnecessary. Why are you summarising a postcard?

I’m like the only person here actually giving feedback. Make it readable and don’t waste people’s time summarising two sentences.

When I looked a couple of hours ago the first link’s summary was an enormous block of text with no formatting and the second was about 40 words summarised to 20.

even less on desktop computers

Blocktube and Enhancer for Youtube are Firefox extensions that can hide all of that shit completely. Mine has all shorts disabled, and I’ve removed the recommended videos panels from the right hand side & ends of videos, plus disabled any non-playlist autoplay. There’s still crap on the Home tab, but I don’t use that so I’ve never needed to look into ways to improve it, I just use the subbed tab and playlists. My YT shows me exactly what I ask for and nothing else. The Blocktube extension settings can be password-locked.

Dude was convicted of 34 felonies and THEN got elected president for a second time after a disastrous first term which ended with him inciting an insurrection to try to stay in power, the richest man in the world (credibly!) said he’s a pedophile and is covering it up, which surprised nobody because we all fuckin know, he said himself that he could shoot someone on the street and not lose any voters. What “dirt” do you think anyone has on him that he would be worried about?

Why is it over Breaking Bad? I don’t see the connection.

I agree, and please use actual fire.

Yeah obviously, but so what? The guy was convicted of 34 felonies and was still allowed to become president. Unless there’s a consequence for any of these scum (and no, Elon losing some money while still having more than every single person on this site combined will see in a hundred lifetimes doesn’t count) who gives a shit about any more proof of Trump’s crimes?

ReadEra on my tablet, and I think just a FireFox extension on the PC. I don’t remember exactly what made me move from Aldiko to ReadEra, but I liked it enough to grab the paid version. Sources are all from MAM, so I’m not sure about options that let you buy & download in-app.

There’s a game on Steam called Coloring Pixels which is basically just paint by number with pixel art. It’s one of the most chill games you’ll ever play. They posted an update about their next community-voted DLC, which is a Pride themed colouring book. They have dozens of DLC books, all super cheap, this one costs a dollar. Even knowing exactly what the Steam users are like (hell, the first page of comments on any update to any game is generally 75% blocked because they’re all assholes or spammers) I couldn’t believe the backlash from the “anti-woke” dickheads. For a digital colouring book. They’re the biggest fuckin babies.

That’s exactly what happened in 2020 isn’t it? Trump wanted to stop Covid testing, because less testing meant fewer confirmed cases. Then thousands of people died every single day from uhh… something else.

They still have it, it’s just called prison labour now.

So NFTs and Cybertrucks?

The Absolute comics are reimaginings of the characters that make some big changes to them and the worlds they’re in. This isn’t like, THE Batman, this version is an engineer rather than a billionaire and his mum is alive. It’s alright, but Martian Manhunter, The Flash and Green Lantern are all more interesting to me than the trinity so far.

Wonder Woman is pretty cool though, she fights demons with a huge sword and has a mechanical arm, it was a big Berserk reference.
