The king usually has one jester in his court, maybe 2.

This wanna-be king's entire court is comprised of jesters performing for his amusement.

hmmm.. all are industries or products that depend on getting more and more suckers to "invest" or "buy" in order to further the grift and pay off the top level grifters and leave the suckers holding the back when the rug gets pulled.

NYC Mayoral results showing that Cuomo + Sliwa, still would not have beaten Mamdani

Cuomo + Sliwa still wouldn't have beaten Mamdani, but cry more

@shanegoldmacher.bsky.social Not sure if this is your copy editors or you, but this should be corrected. His last name is Platner, not Graham.

This is "Do your own research" mantra taken to the extreme.

The relatively intelligent and those with access to truthful and scientifically health info can continue to improve their health and avoid bad outcomes from a variety of factors. Everyone else will be on their own and suffer because of it.

Never Forgive Them In the last year, I’ve spent about 200,000 words on a kind of personal journey where I’ve tried again and again to work out why everything digital feels so broken, and why it seems to keep getting wor...

not only that, they saw how PoW (Proof of Work) crypto mining was an environmental disaster using up electrical and water resources and decided to double down on more destructive AI with no demonstrative large-scale use-case to justify the billions in investment and resources being literally burned.

Stop spreading this bullshit "viral" post, it originated in a TikTok account that is obviously labelled a Satire humor content producer.

it is going into the Grift of the moment, "AI".

So, Softbank was already going to invest billions into the latest AI grift, this just piggybacks on their already planned investments,

Typical Trump behavior, using his "brand" and piggybacking on other's grifts.

The WeWork Con The $47 billion WeWork implosion is proof that the rich are the biggest suckers of all.

Half of softbank's investment in 2016 ended up in the Grift that was WeWork.

WeWork one of the largest grifts in American history

so, you're telling me that his $50 million "pledge" from 2016, which never materialized has been doubled.

I don't know about you, but doubling zero, zilch, nil, nothing $0.00 is still 0.

his reply was badly worded, but your reply was also.

I believe the intent of his reply was to assert that the story never happened, not that the post never happened. You response appears to defend your repost as being a true story, there is no indication that you presented it as being satirical.

every Google search for this points to the original post, it is all reposts of the original "SATIRICAL" post. do a little critical thinking PLEASE. Our civilization, as it is, may depend on it.

Fine to pass it alonglike, "haha, this is hilarious, what a funny joke" but to just pass it along with no context? no wonder we live in such a dystopian shitstorm.

The original source is @ThesePhew on TikTok who openly states on his profile that he posts SATIRE.

This right here is one of the worst things with Social Media, how this bullshit goes viral cause no one THINKS, people just react like lemmings and pass it on without any critical thinking.

If, the polio vaccine approval is revoked, guess what would happen? any number of Pharma companies would "create" a patented vaccine for Polio and profit greatly for years.

RFK Jr.’s Lawyer Has Asked the FDA to Revoke Polio Vaccine Approval (Gift Article) Aaron Siri, who specializes in vaccine lawsuits, has been at Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s side reviewing candidates for top jobs at the Department of Health and Human Services.

The Polio vaccine was never patented, Jonas Salk famously responded, "Well, the people, I would say. There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?"

Time Magazine 1938 cover naming Hitler its Man of the Year

Curious about the drama in South Korea? This sheet pan gimbap with banchan will have you declaring martial law in your kitchen!

Looks like the proper pushback was united enough and denunciation was enough that he is backing down. This was a crazy order in the first place

The last time martial law was declared in SK was back in late '79 and ushered in many years of bad decisions for korea. it is looking really bad very quickly and we will need to see what happens, I don't doubt for a minute that China and North Korea and russia are rubbing their hands loving this

the Covid pandemic caused global issues and reduced a lot of countries economies and there has been a global pattern of right wing authoritarian governments becoming elected as people blindly react to needing more "order" in their lives as they perceive it. The plan to "blame the other" is working

situation seems very volatile/fluid now as military appears to be occupying the parliament building to prevent the parliament from convening as they can dissolve the martial law order by majority vote. Public also starting to protest against the military. This could quickly turn into military coup

We will need to see what the South Korean military does, whether it backs the rule of law or sides with the president and enforces this martial law declaration against his opposition and how the public reacts.

and initiating impeachment procedures against members of the president's cabinet for corruption including the president's wife. he is declaring Martial Law to fight against that and seize power. So basically kinda like what we went through in Trump's 1st term but he failed

The South Korean Government is structured as the President is the top position, but the Prime Minister is the second. The parliament is dominated by left-leaning parties and the Prime Minister represents them. They have been opposing many of the budget policies that the President has been proposing.

just like many other countries currently in the world, South Korea has a right-wing President that faces a left-leaning parliament and is basically seizing power as he is facing opposition to his policies.
