I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

The last word of every sentence is in italics here, the better to imagine the Beastie Boys rapping about quicklime.

Two older men are sitting on a couch in a cozy, dimly lit living room. They appear to be laughing and enjoying themselves, with one man holding a drink and the other adjusting his glasses while smiling. Both seem amused by a story being told. Overlaid text reads: 'AND THAT SMUG LOOK ON HIS FACE, "YOU'RE GONNA BUY MY CHICKEN."' The setting suggests a casual, humorous conversation.

I donated a car to charity a few years back and my reward for it is a pretty constant barrage of emails asking me why the fuck I’m not giving them more cars

Discord, who recently leaked a heap of personal data in a security breach, wants my personal data to let me access a channel I created in a server I created. Thank you, Australian government.
