    You guys need a hero that doesn’t suck. I mean he didn’t even hit a real oligarch. Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos don’t give a fuck what happens to Brian Thompson. All the oligarchs were so scared of being branded as oligarchs that they responded by all getting together and having a public bukkake session with Trump as he eviscerates what little public healthcare system there is. The Christ meme is accurate - because worshipping him doesn’t do shit.

      Going after the bigger ones would have been harder. The impact of his success with Thompson might inspire further action, which wouldn’t have happened if he had tried and failed with Trump or Musk.

      It’s kinda fascinating for years how “freedom of speech” online has given people free rein to talk about slaughtering queer people and women, but it’s the billionaire talk that gets moderated….

    Free Luigi. Patron saint of all of those denied for stupid reasons, including my friend who had to have his necrotic gallbladder removed last week, and one of those shitass insurance companies denied his hospital stay, because apparently your gallbladder should fall out of you itself or something.

    luigi was not on the news because he killed someone but because he caused the share price to drop. the share price has recovered since. as simple as that.

    News has always had a short attention span. I doubt that in this case it’s in any way related to the specific events. It’s just the usual.
