I've heard that name before; aren't they the same people who leaked Project 2025 or something?

Just remember, if you see people shoplifting, no you haven't.

Considering that his customer base has always skewed towards the wealthy, it's surprising it hasn't happened yet.

Replacing humans with machines failed to collapse the economy every other time it's been done, for one reason or another. You're probably not wrong, but to a lot of important people our warnings must sound suspiciously like "This time there really is a wolf!"

The economy is full of thneeds. It's darn near dependent on them. As Calvin's mom once said, "if people thought about real issues and needs instead of manufactured desires, the economy would collapse and we'd have total anarchy." I think deep down, we all know this, but no one wants to admit...

Being rich doesn't lead to greed; it's the other way around. Greed is the state someone is in to start with, and tends to make it much easier to do the horrible things that are necessary to amass that much wealth in the first place.

Especially the man who's currently next in line.

The only man capable of fat-fingering his keypad with such tiny hands.

Unfortunately he can still do that without being there in person. They should figure out a way to ban him from doing that too, even if it means physically unplugging the entire country from our part of the internet.

No kidding. Amazon operates three separate streaming services, and I have no idea what's on any of them.

He'll only be coming for the guns owned by liberals. As few of them as there are. And his supporters and the NRA will welcome it.

I checked just now, and according to Wikipedia, WarnerMedia not only still owns the entire MGM and United Artists back catalog up to 1986(!!!) but also acquired the distribution rights to the rest of their films back in 2020. Given that, I'm not sure what Bezos even bought other than the rights...

Yeah they are. This government has proven time and time again that it can shut down whatever constitutional rights it wants to. It just doesn't want to this time.

Meanwhile, people who want to buy murder weapons are considered more important than people who need food. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/oct/22/sales-weapons-resume-amid-shutdown

You know who I'm surprised not to hear from whenever a media company goes up for sale? Sony. They snatched up Columbia-Tristar back in the '90s and haven't put in a bid for anything since. All they seem to have really gotten out of that is the Ghostbusters IP and a bunch of record labels, most...

Nah, they just have to make a big donation to Donald Trump and/or fire everyone critical of him and they'll be allowed to buy out whatever they want, up to and including the entire US media establishment. Oh, what's that you say? This isn't P&R? Too bad, it's hella relevant to this topic.

Proof if ever we needed any that interacting with AI causes insanity.

Nah, it's too smeary to be either of those; those retain solid blocks of color and turn jaggies into 45 degree bends. Think custom designs in Animal Crossing New Horizons. This definitely looks like AI or, at best, whatever they used for texture upscaling in BioShock 2 Remastered.

Remember all those times a computer mistook a flock of birds for a missile and asked its operator "Do you want to start World War III (y/n)?" Imagine replacing that operator with an AI.

If people are really donating money so he can build a luxury ballroom for himself, it's a scam no matter how little of it he's pocketing.
