I think the idea that newspapers and TV were ever honest is an illusion. I remember my parents and grandparents ranting about the lies published by major newspapers in the 80s and 90s either on topics or people they knew. We tend to forget

Though that’s a bit of a dick move to use that. I don’t have a problem with the author making money, I just don’t like the tracking and the politics of youtube. Also those ads are skippable, where yt ones aren’t.

I don't think the average braindead tiktok user who watches choreographies all day long knows / cares / can even spell Oracle. I know what you will tell me: "but these people vote"... Hum, yes.

I read the apple’s response is a foldable which will cost $2000. I did queue in front of the apple store many years ago. But there is no way these days I will spend that kind of money for functionalities I don’t use. Even an iphone 12 mini

I don't see the problem. If a building is damaged we should not reconstruct it? I'd much rather see the Colosseum in its original state, covered in marble, than the current state, after centuries of neglect and looting from the it

The EU parliament is highly dysfunctional. First look at the number of MEP that have been indicted for corruption. Also in the countries I know, political parties send as MEP their least able politicians that they don’t know what to do and
