It’s so exhausting to see practically every rich famous white guy who reaches a certain age adopt these same tired tropes about “wokeism” simply because they amuse themselves with it and assume that everyone will be just as amused. It’s old, it’s unoriginal, and it’s the #1 sign that someone has become out of touch…

Going back to my youth, the Onion had a story that stuck with me headlined

Wealthy men always think everyone wants to hear their opinion.

None of this is really that surprising for a wealthy 70 year old guy to say, but I do wonder why he thinks anyone wants to hear it from him.

“Garbage in, garbage out” remains a reliable principle.

A truly unbiased AI understands that everything written on the internet is equally important and true.

It’s so crazy how awful the Google search experience has become. It’s arguably still better than any current alternatives, but man it feels like someone could come in and dethrone it relatively easily these days, just by removing the clutter. The AI results are garbage and yet another thing I have to ignore and…

The Onion can call their next historical compilation “Our Even Dumber Century.”

Reality Of Owning The Hottest Tesla

And yet, people still buy these fugly vehicles. 

Maybe it just me but the fact that these things are even thinner isn’t appealing at all. Given how much they cost, any phone or tablet I buy gets thrown into a protective case before it gets used anyways.  They are just to damn fragile 

It was said that Trump had just one red line when he was roasted: His wealth. They could make fun of his hair, his business failures, his kids, his infidelities and multiple wives/baby mommas, but absolutely no questioning how rich he really was. Says a lot about what is most important to him.

The fact that Radcliffe does weird, sometimes kind of fucked-up indie movies he finds interesting because he can afford to due to the financial safety cushion of his Potter money speaks nothing but well of him. Glad he’s doing something like the film the above image is from rather than “Christmas Prince” romcoms or…

Exactly. Not just normal kids, but decent actors, with actual careers.

It’s almost shocking how well-adjusted the adults the Harry Potter child stars grew up to be are, even beyond the “big 3" of Daniel, Emma and Rupert.

It’s borderline refreshing to hear a story of a major Hollywood celebrity who’s just kinda shitty to work with. Like, not quietly racist / misogynitic / homophobic / transphobic, not a secret QAnon dipshit, not flexing his status for sexual favor, not an Armie Hammer-style sex cannibal. Just a chronically late dick, us…

Eh, I think the “funniest possible way” would have been if they found the song by slipping on a comically large banana peel and sliding down a hallway into a room where they witness a mob hit and have to go into witness protection as a nun in a convent and they learn the song from Whoopi Goldberg before being hit in…

I didn’t exactly dig into the story, but IIRC the guy’s “cause” wasn’t anything to do with Trump specifically, more just a mentally ill person doing something extreme in front of cameras

I honestly did think about trying but after a while the place was so stuffed with suits that I just had to get out. Plus I decided that trying to sneak in to an event where the president is would prooobably end with me being detained by the Secret Service. 

Ok, but “The New York Post is like getting a summary of the New York Times read by a crackhead” legitimately made me laugh out loud. And leaving Michael Che out of the act in order to “Stand in solidarity with President Biden in also losing all his Black support” was a pretty trenchant observation.
