I initially read "Entertainment" as "Eternity" for some reason and it made perfect sense.

I won’t get to retire and I imagine many of you will not either. When I fail to perform sufficiently anymore the slug will erase me before I see it coming and what’s left over will be thrown down the memory hole

Third brother is noted shitbag talent agent Ari Emanuel, inspiration for Jeremy Piven’s character on Entourage (and word is that they toned the character down for TV). I am glad that Ezekiel Emanuel is older than I am, so that I can taunt him on holopipe or whatever social media exists in 2032 about why he isn’t dead yet.

Indian fact checking sites are great, because they do articles even about things that are so ridiculous that the Westerners don't bother.

Fact checking is serious business in India, in some areas you have Pizzagate lynch mobs forming on a regular basis. These fact-checking guys deserve respect.

You know how Dracula sometimes go by the alias Alucard? A Malaysian district officer got into trouble when a new stadium in his area, the name allegedly taken from Spanish/Greek and Arabic words, is really just his own name backwards and was not named through official channels.

quote:6:32 PM quote:Regular readers of the Fact Checker might remember that we gave Sanders One Pinocchio in 2016 for a political ad claiming that the 15 richest Americans gained as much wealth as the bottom 100 million in a two-year period. While technically correct, the condensed sound bite lacked nuance about wealth accumulation and debt in the United States.

a chucklehead posted:Sanders is drawing on a 2017 report from the left-leaning Institute for Policy Studies, which said that three billionaires — Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos (who owns The Washington Post) and Warren Buffett — had total wealth of $248.5 billion, compared with $245 billion for the bottom 160 million people in the United States. The wealth of the three men has grown even more since then. (directed at the author of the article, not Platystemon)

Just loling at obviously biased fact checkers who decide “while sanders was correct bezos, gates and buffet own more money than half of America he’s actually a filthy lier Because those half of Americans don’t actually own anything” as if that somehow makes the statement untrue.

While it's true that what he said was correct, it would be truer to say that what he said was extremely correct, and therefore, in a way, what he said was not technically merely "correct". So he's a liar?

What he said was so true it caused a stack overflow error and cycled back to false.

It’s so ridiculous that I wonder if the goal is not just a hit job on candidates they don’t like, but discrediting the idea of truth in general and media scrutiny in particular. https://twitter.com/ggreeneva/status/1143976408789766144 I bolded the only part of the following article that matters. Well, that, the original statement, and the rating (‘Three Pinocchios’) quote:Sanders’s flawed statistic: 500,000 medical bankruptcies a year

They absolutely know that most people only read the headline and then a huge chunk of the rest don't go more than a few paragraphs in at most. Burying the lede is definitely done to push agendas.

Carthag Tuek posted:does anyone in that article give a definition of "commune"? also does the journalist challenge the predictably wrong definition? "they want to create the togetherness of intentional communities like co-ops, communes, or Burning Man without the anticapitalist politics or freegan cuisine.Rotating committees of residents determine which rental applicants get approved, and the process involves more checks of vibe than credit. Leases come with signed commitments to community values, and instead of simply showing up for scheduled events, residents are encouraged to create their own classes and shindigs for the rest of the building. Only 10% of the units are set aside as affordable for low-income tenants, but all are currently occupied by poets. The rooms are pitched at the upper middle of the rental market in central L.A., with rents starting at $1,715 a month, plus a $210 fee to cover utilities, housekeeping, free coffee and Sunday dinners, yoga classes and other events. Specifically, they’re pitched at people like Kimberlee Archer. When Archer left Facebook for a high-ranking job at Snap in May, the 38-year-old marketing executive could have rented an upscale pad with ocean views or found a spot up in the hills. But she wanted to live with other people, pandemic be damned. Before leaving Oakland, she googled “coliving space.” A few weeks later, she moved into one of Treehouse’s units — really just a bedroom and a private bathroom, furnished in the style of a cozy boutique hotel" You get all the smugness of "intentional communities" but everybody still loves money. For $2K a month you get a bedroom and one free meal per week. Look how quirky we are.
