‘We will coup whoever we want!’: the unbearable hubris of Musk and the billionaire tech bros
Challenging each other to cage fights, building apocalypse bunkers – the behaviour of today’s mega-moguls is becoming increasingly outlandish and imperial…

In the 19th and 20th centuries, industrialists understood that giving money to existing institutions meant that it could be distributed wherever it was needed, and so they donated to hospitals, libraries and universities. JP Morgan actually bailed out the US federal government on two separate occasions. Today’s billionaire philanthropists, frequently espousing the philosophy of “effective altruism”, donate to their own organisations, often in the form of their own stock, and make their own decisions about how the money is spent because they are, after all, experts in everything.

Kim Jong Un votes in local election. Last I heard he had 200% of the vote. What the heck is he voting with?

Not to say that voting in North Korea ISN'T rigged (obvs); but those tickets are very tiny. It might just be the case that NK (or that local election for whatever) doesn't use big single consolidated ballots with multiple votes on them.

"Ankh-Morpork had dallied with many forms of government and had ended up with that form of democracy known as One Man, One Vote. The Patrician was the Man; he had the Vote."

Man who pleaded guilty in incel-inspired Toronto murder sentenced to life in prison

The stabbing that killed 24-year-old Ashley Noelle Arzaga and seriously injured a woman identified only by the initials J.C. was motivated by a violent and misogynistic ideology, the judge said.

The man, who cannot be identified because he was underage at the time of the attack, "committed the crime after extensively researching the incel culture," Akhar said.

"I do not accept his ... attempt at avoiding responsibility by claiming that he was brainwashed by that culture. He sought it out, he accepted it and he acted upon it," the judge said.
