The terrible genius of capitalism is that it can commodify anything, including criticism of capitalism itself.

Maybe he had additional targets he planned to pursue?

Can anyone give even a bad reason for a reward this high that doesn't involve the wealth of the target?

The case is now extremely high-profile, so the longer it goes unsolved the more embarrassing it is for the agencies investigating. (Good.)

Man, I don't know... the last few decades have shown humans to be surprisingly easy to "hack"

because IT sector wouldn't have all it's eggs in one basket that might break if one guy leaves or dies.

Whooooooooboy, that has not been my experience in tech!

trying to find out their distribution

Suuuuure... that's definitely why you were googling "great tits"

Pizza parties for everyone!

I'm a straight man, but that guy can assassinate my loins any time.

Oh shit, he's hot...

I kinda hate it when someone is this cool and this good looking. Save some positive qualities for the rest of us!

Right? This is the most capitalist thing I've ever heard of... He had a net worth of 50 million, but the cops are only offering 10k for info?

That's like the equivalent of throwing your employees a pizza party because they increased profits 200%

"President Joe Biden will be remembered among the most consequential presidents in American history."

He'll also be remembered for his historically low approval ratings. Not even Trump dipped as low as Biden. And whether or not that rating is justified is irrelevant — those numbers matter when deciding what platform you're going to run on.

It blows my mind that a candidate could looks at Biden's numbers and then turn around and say they wouldn't change anything. Literal insanity.

The entire DNC leadership needs to be shown the door and replaced with people who at the bare minimum know how to read a fucking graph.

What a garbage headline... The "pornstar" bit completely buries the lede for the sake of clicks by making people think this is another Stormy Daniels situation, but this is not that.

This dude is a German politician and literal Nazi, which is far more interesting and important than the fact he may have done some porn.

This is the worst kind of clickbait.

Yes, because inaction plays so well with Democratic voters...

When completed, the facility will be even taller than the Statue of Liberty... which definitely says something about the nation's priorities.

I'm not so sure... At those speeds, it would've taken under 10 seconds to completely clear the atmosphere. Even with intense compressional heating, I don't think it would've been in contact with the atmosphere long enough to completely vaporize — although it probably didn't look much like a manhole cover anymore by the time it escaped.

I think the self-censoring was moreso out of concern for upsetting the Reddit admins than it was for companies like Nintendo.

Unfortunately that hairless elbow golem is exactly the kind of clueless neolib that voters just rejected.

I have, actually, and until you brought it up I had never heard that any witness were refusing to talk.

When the DOJ closed the case on Gaetz, it was widely reported that a "concern about witness credibility" was the reason why charges weren't filled, but that story was never confirmed by the DOJ (they still haven't commented, afaik) and instead was coming from "individuals who had been in contact with the DOJ". I think it's pretty safe to assume those individuals were Gaetz' layers, so... yeah, best to take that story with a huge grain of salt. And anyway, that isn't the same as a victim refusing to cooperate.

Now last week the lawyer of one of Gaetz' victims has publicly acknowledged that his client did not what to testify at trial against Gaetz (which is pretty reasonable considering how MAGAts react to women accusing people in Trump's orbit), but that's still not the same as refusing to cooperate with the DOJ, and isn't any reason to pin blame on the victim.

She's welcome to try, but no universe exists in which Harris wins the Democratic primary. So unless the exact set of circumstance that led to her candidacy in 2024 are somehow repeated (fat chance), she has no path to the presidency.

Ever heard that old saying, a Republican is someone who would shit in their own mouth just so a liberal would have to smell it?

Rs will happily do something they don't like (vote for a woman) if it means feeling like they "owned the libs".
