It took a sinister turn right at the end…

To be clear, when you say doctors endorsed cigarette smoking, a small percentage of doctors were duped into endorsing it and their recommendations boosted by the tobacco industry.

I’ve got my Grandfather’s old copy of The Boy’s Companion published before the date in that meme, and it’s very clear in its message that smoking is bad for you. They’ve known it was harmful to health since at least the 17th century, and tobacco was only brought to Europe in the 16th.

The cunts who sent that mascot to the hospital fucking KNEW. (edit: or at least they would have if they existed, it looks like the whole thing might have been AI generated)

It was created by an Elon Musk superfan who identified himself to ARTnews as a French tech entrepreneur under the pseudonym “Louis XXII."

His other pseudonyms include Adrian Dittman and Doge Designer

It was a major plot point on one of the seasons of The Sopranos. Junior ordered a hit on Tony Soprano after Tony found out that Junior ate pussy and teased him for it.

Of all the notions that exist around hypermasculinity, this one is the weirdest.

I googled the author, he’s a Tech Bro pretending to be a media critic. Shame on The Guardian for publishing this moronic clickbait guff.

I would say the guy clearly doesn’t understand the most basic concepts of fiction, except I suspect he probably does but is ignoring them in order to push his agenda.

Imagine sucking so bad it makes the news.

That was the opposite of nuance. It was pedantry that deliberately missed the point.

From 2013 to 2020 I didn’t have bittorrent installed anywhere, and paid for Netflix, NowTV, and Crunchyroll. Then the enshittification kicked in, and now most of what I watch is from bittorrent.

Competence played a big part in Singapore’s success. Lots of highly qualified people governing by pragmatism over ideology. Exact polar opposite of what we’re seeing in the US.

One of my friends is married to a Chinese woman only two years his junior, but because she, like most Asian women, looks a lot younger than her European contemporaries he still gets lots of dirty looks and untoward comments from judgy fucks who think it’s any of their fucking business.

Sod 'em.

Also, screw it, #79 should be Aurium.

You’d really be fucking Spandau Ballet over with that one.

Human civilization is built on co-operation and trade.

There’s no winners here - Trump is punishing Americans and foreigners alike, and making the whole of humanity collectively worse for him being there, all because he can’t let go of the idea that everything is a zero-sum game where the other guy losing means you won.

Or, here’s a crazy idea, the US could start meeting the basic safety and animal welfare standards that the entirety of Europe long ago decided was the basic minimum required for something to be suitable for human consumption.

Boggles my mind how all these people desperately trying to whip everyone into supporting the two-party system, just assume that third-party voters and non-voters automatically owe their vote to their party. The sheer vanity and arrogance of it.

Yeah. Forcing himself on women was entirely consistent with his public persona, but shifting hard right just to seek cover makes it so much scummier.

When an influential group of powerful people make hate speech a part of their standard rhetoric, is EXACTLY when you MUST block it on your platform, not a signal that it’s time to start letting it slide, you fucking pricks.

I guess not so much in the grander scheme of things, but it’s astonishing and depressing in equal measures that Britain doesn’t seem able to have kept hold of any of its own beloved home-grown brands.
