    I dunno. Lightly Entertainment is in my experience part of most larger News Papers. And it had been the past decades. Especially in the feuilleton. I mean, you cant pull a watergate out of your hat everyday. And a news paper has a lot of pages to be printed

    For me, it’s “Does this have a practical function?”, and if no, then “Would I evacuate with this in a disaster?”

    Watergate was covered by journalists; these “articles” are written by clickbait engagement employees.

      I think the movie “The Post” did a good job highlighting the corruption within journalists/media as well. It’s not a historical accurate retelling people ensure to point out but it addresses how individuals get tied into closer relationships with politicians which gets them scoops which inevitably make them more money and promotions, but those can be tied to not asking the hard questions, and not wanting to hurt ties/friendships they form along the way.

      Then again, most Tom Hanks movies end up being pretty good. Movies like “A Man Called Otto” always surprise me.

    I too love consumerism so much. let’s all talk about things we buy and love to keep, that’s a very organic conversation.

      One could argue the article is anti consumerist since its talking about de cluttering, albeit in a weird way. At least, that’s what I’m assuming. As for organic conversation, beats “did you see [sports game] last night”. But that’s just me.

    I’ve now thrown out all my toothbrushes and toilet paper. My fridge and pantry have been emptied entirely, and the bookshelf has been purged. Maybe this wasn’t the best approach.

      I love that bitch but the upper middle class people on her Netflix show was big yikes.

      Obviously I felt sad for the one with the dead husband - I’m not a monster

      She looks like if gemma from severance wasn’t meant to be a sci fi character. And no, not like the actress. And no, I don’t just mean bc of the ethnicity plus hair (also she is Nepali!)

      More like “would I spend my life cleaning this instead of throwing it away”. You have to be the type of person to not want to clean everything covered in shit though

    Yes, among other scandals. That’s why it has been captured and is being debased. The Washington Post is now like Hector’s corpse being dragged and abused in grisly triumph, except there’s no Aphrodite to keep it from rotting.
