    "...the government would aim to stabilize the country’s supply chain by helping 666 companies in COVID-ravaged Shanghai reboot their operations..." Is it the government aiming to reboot operations for 666 companies or is it... SATAN! (Many thanks to Dana Carvey of SNL and his Church Lady...

    OAN sues AT&T, says being kicked off DirecTV may force it to shut down

    Even better, they probably hired Rudy Giuliani. I hear he is having financial, well, troubles, and he needs to keep his "legal skills" fresh for when his law license is no longer revoked by the state of New York or by Washington DC.

    Celebrity cheerleaders keep urging us to dive into crypto, metaverse

    So is a bit-chit worth more or less than a shit-bit-chit? I am guessing less, since at least with a shit-bit-chit you can use the shit backing the shit-bit-chit as fertilizer. Whereas with the bit-chit, all you have backing it is virtual shit...

    The same lame arguments that the crypto bros and NFT boosters always seem to use: - You just don't understand / are too stupid to realize just how great crypto/NFT really is. - Get in on the ground floor NOW!

    Hundreds of e-commerce sites booby-trapped with payment card skimming malware

    I don't have a PayPal account, but I do use PayPal as a credit card processor - that has worked well for me so far. And I agree about not using a PayPal account to accept payments - everything I have seen in the past indicates that if PayPal decides to confiscate the money in your account then...

    Facebook loses users for first time ever, market cap drops by $200B

    The drop in active users and stock price reminds of the "On Your Way Down" by Stabbing Westward. Yeah, the drop in active users and stock price may be a blip, but the lyrics mirror my feelings towards Facebook and especially Mr. Roboto, err I mean Zuckerberg: I hope I see you on your way down...

    Spotify reveals lax policies as Rogan responds: “If I pissed you off, I’m sorry”

    I haven't kept up with the comments posted recently (last 5 - 8 pages), so I apologize if something about the FreeYourMusic app has been posted already by someone else.

    Interesting, the first search result I get for "Dr Malone vaccinologist" is a PolitiFact page and has this nice bullet point at the beginning: 'Malone has billed himself as the “inventor” of mRNA vaccines. In reality, the development of the vaccines and the technology they rely on involved...

    Meta’s cryptocurrency plans all but dead with Libra/Diem looking to sell assets

    But but but... I wanted to mine their cryptocurrency on a Facebook phone and then use Facebook VR goggles to get into the Metaverse and spend my hard earned FB cryptocurrency. :^D I can't believe I typed this in one go through all of my laughter.
