Billionaires Destroyed American News Media On Purpose It's not a conspiracy, it's simply what happened.

Oh no just wondered in general. 2 of the 3 most recent ones were particularly good to me.

www.todayintabs.com/p/billionair... was the one (I think) that prompted my question, and

www.todayintabs.com/p/what-would... was the one that really got me down the week before.

Sorry but personally if a miniature horse woke me up from anesthesia by banging out nonsense on a miniature keyboard it would send me into a liminal space between life and death from which I would never return

Canceling Colbert? Itโ€™s definitely not part of the Trump bribe. Do not put in the newspaper that this is part of the Trump bribe. Weโ€™re just canceling the number one show in its time slot because ofโ€ฆ reasons. Backdrops! Headwinds! Serious TV business.

Seeing as @rusty.todayintabs.com hasn't posted it himself yet, let me be the first to share today's particularly acerbic take on the schlockpot that is the US capitalist system: www.todayintabs.com/p/billionair...

At this point I hope he doesn't, because the kind of people who would capitulate to this extent don't deserve any clemency from either side

If you were excited to see Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey in true, 70mm IMAX, you might be out of luck, unless you've got $200 to spend on resold tickets from scalpers.

Honestly, Rusty somehow makes me want to fight the establishment while simultaneously identifying with the guilty apathy and fear of action I often feel in situations like these. I genuinely think pieces like these are going to be how we get out of this situation as a species. An absolute must read.

Tweet by the America Party (lol) which says "Weโ€™ve tried red. Weโ€™ve tried blue. America is ready for something that actually works. America Party โ€” The middle has a voice now."

It has an image of the America Party's logo (a red, white, and blue eagle) next to a photo of Elon Musk.

Anyone who's a regular podcast listener and isn't using Pocket Casts is doing themselves a massive disservice. It's oodles better than any other app, service or platform for podcasting I've used.

I absolutely despise morning and evening routines. If I could push a button that did the showering/shaving/hair prep/dressing/packing every day, I'd pay a ridiculous amount for it.
