You usually do this to be “discreet.” I don’t make the rules. People have been doing this forever.

It feels like the cat’s out of the bag and they will just go ahead with whatever they planned on doing with this partnership, but not be as open about it. Bury it somewhere in the user agreement.

Exactly. The back of the toilet—sure. Very common. It’s basically a little table. Also great for smashing adderall on for snorting.

Who the fuck would snort something off a toilet seat? Why would you want to bend down that far? It makes no sense. These guys are full of shit no matter what they are talking about.

Medias and Mockler have become unwatchable. Mockler is extra disappointing as a “gen z voice” when he glazes establishment dems constantly. This boy thinks Hillary Clinton is cool and will save us, and that Joe Biden did an “amazing job.” Blah blah blah. He completely rejects actual progressive politics. He has said repeatedly that he is “OK with billionaires like Taylor Swift.” Mockler isn’t a Trump douche but he isn’t on the right side of this either. The only way forward is real progressivism, not more establishment dem pro-capitalist bullshit. They do not care about us. They care about billionaires.

Yep. And he died at 60. Younger Kim is on the same track.

I don’t know. Heart attacks are a real thing. Your 40s get weird with health stuff. I agree that I don’t think he is going to croak any day now, but it does seem like they are preparing for him to be gone. His father only lived to 60.

The Chomskys are so full of shit. If you read any of Epstein’s emails it becomes apparent that he was a moron on top of everything else. He wasn’t dazzling Chomsky with his intellect or anything like that. There is something else they aren’t admitting. Or it could be that Chomsky worshipped capital more than he would like to admit. Or it could be both and it probably is.

He’s almost 40 years younger than Trump, so I don’t think it’s comparable. I’m the same age as Kim and I know no one who is in as bad as shape as him (maybe one or two co-workers who are morbidly obese). There is nothing healthy about being 5’3” and 275 lbs.

Nailed it. I rode in one almost daily for the years I lived there, especially in Shenzhen. They felt cheap. Like most things over there (buildings, etc) they looked great from 100 ft back, but up close you could see all the flaws and cheap construction. The “made in China” stamp isn’t usually one associated with quality and BYD isn’t any different. That being said—I’d love for them to come to the US and steal Tesla’s market share. I absolutely loathe Tesla. As for the YouTubers, they are all paid shills. The amount of cheap bullshit YouTubers try to sell on a regular basis is staggering. That’s how they make their money. If you believed YouTubers every dumb product on earth would be “the best ever” or “epic” or “game changing” or whatever hyperbolic superlative.

He looks like shit for being in his early 40s. I wonder if there is something going on with his health and that’s why he is appointing a 13 year old heir. The article doesn’t elaborate on that but it says he “appears young and healthy.” He looks like he is about to pop. I don’t think I’d describe him as young or healthy looking.

Exactly. He is saying what the DNC doesn’t want him to say. Real progressive politics are winning and can win. It doesn’t have to be establishment-center-right Hillary Clinton pro-capital politics that the DNC pretends will “flip” Trump voters, while they continue to alienate progressive voters. The DNC can’t wait to blame progressives for dem losses just like they always do. The corporate overlords and neoliberal (economically) billionaires want the status quo, where the dollar rules all aspects of life, to stay the status quo. The reality is that progressive politics can win, but they don’t want that.

100% agree. There also need to be massive police reforms (college degree minimum), term and age limits for politicians (no one over 65), and ranked voting would be nice.

You can pretty much chart it going into warp speed when Falwell and the Moral Majority went into politics in 1979. The beginning of the end, and the start of this dark mainstream Christian nationalism. It was starting before then, but that is when they stomped on the gas.

I lived in mainland China for a while (Shanghai and then Shenzhen), and honestly I wasn’t impressed with BYD. Felt like a discount Tesla. The name is stupid as hell too: “build your dreams.” It will definitely be popular with people looking for a cheap EV, which is a good thing, but I don’t think it’ll make that much of a dent in the mid-range and luxury markets. But arguably that probably shouldn’t be their target market. I’d love to see what happens if the US actually let them be sold.

Some people are trying to change this and basically change what the internet is and always has been. I got in trouble on Reddit for saying “fuck.” Evidently explaining to someone to fuck themselves constitutes harassment. I’m sure if I said “buzz off” instead of “fuck off” I wouldn’t have been hit with a ban. It’s truly a sad state of affairs in 2026

Thank you for this well thought out post. I learned something

Read in a book about coffee that without coffee the Industrial Revolution wouldn’t have happened. Coffee fuels capitalism by making people work.
