The article is not hiding what he did, it’s in the title. Just because it takes them a few paragraphs to speculate instead of immediately shoving their opinion down your throat doesn’t make it a “fucking joke”

God forbid they try to practice skeptical and balanced journalism

Time to switch Grandma?

She’ll probably miss her friends though

Twitter and all its alternatives always tend to get inflated coverage because twitter was essentially the journalists’ app, so they write about it more. Bluesky was the first “real” alternative I guess.

Tencent I’m aware of, there was quite a bit of controversy about them a few years back

Democrats: -15.5%

Republicans: +166.7%

Independent: -10.8%
