Look... Im sure this is not the first time the pope has been called the antichrist. It likely happened in 884, 964, 997, 1012, 1378, 1409, or 1418 to just name a few.
(This is not be taken seriously, I grabbed a bunch of years from the Wikipedia list of antipopes to make a point when the role was contested. In the case of the ones between 1378-1418, where a bloody mess is an understatement (I would rather read history on the war of the roses), there have been significantly fewer violent disagreements regarding the title/position since then)
My local gas stations just play ads on the payment screen. There was a mute button (usually top right, even if it was unlabled) but some have disabled that. I keep a note of those who do and have stopped going there.
Remember folks, Advertisment is theft and vote with your wallet.
I just block the side-bar using Ublock Origin. Makes more room on the page and im not sold shit. If I want random videos ill hit the home page the post-screen after a video.
I feel like a ton of comment in this room are missing the point. Him choosing to not run changes the calculus for how he handles the rest of his term and where he puts his efforts.
Endorsing someone else takes significantly less effort than running for reelection yourself and it makes the opposition have to do actual work rather than just pointing at his recent failings.
Politically/tactically this is a pretty good move, especially as like others have pointed out, he has given someone else a lot of runway to put a campaign together.
The schadenfreude is weak here... The people still on the platform are morons standing behind the "I have nothing to hide" excuse or worse, willfully ignorant of the realities of modern technology. I personally stuggle to find sympathy for those still on it, but will attempt to make efforts to have others uninstall it as it activly tries to invade the privacy of those around its users.
The PPI (Pentagon Pizza Index [Link] - I wish they were not sponsored by polymarket... But ya got to keep the lights on...) is the latest of my new favorite silly OsInt tools. When shit is going down, a cartoonish amount of pizza gets ordered because people are stuck at the office late into the evenings.
And its not just governments, people were preparing for Valve's upcoming Deadlock update hours in advance because we saw a spike in pizza orders for the staff overnight through each major chains online activity maps.
Im so excited, Valve COOKED, I love the little blockhead minion on blue team and everything looks amazing. The only thing left on my wish list is a draft pick.
The unicorns on the blanket are the best.
