Good reminder to also set up something that does this automatically for you:

    I generally avoid extensions that can read all sites (even if technically necessary), so use the suggestion found here [1] instead.

    A few bookmarklets:

    javascript:(function(){if (location.host.endsWith('x.com')) location.host='xcancel.com';})()

    javascript:(function(){if (location.host.endsWith('youtube.com')) location.host='inv.nadeko.net';})()

    javascript:(function(){if (location.hostname.endsWith('instagram.com')) {location.replace('https://imginn.com' + location.pathname);}})()

      Wow, where did these come from. these are great alternatives, especially the youtube. I like using the duck player but that's only in that browser.

      For example duck://player/fqtK3s7PE_k where the video id in youtube url https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqtK3s7PE_k

      But it doesn't have that overview page like inv.nadeko.net does

I actually think it is fitting to read about a government agency weaponized by an unscrupulous billionaire going after journalists working for an unscrupulous billionaire on an unscrupulous trillionaire owned platform.

    Maybe. I don't think we yet have a good understanding of how many deaths he will have caused as a result of DOGE so abruptly cutting off assistance to so many vulnerable people around the world, but I've heard estimates hover around 600,000.

    Assuming that number turns out to be close to reality, how do you weigh so many unnecessary deaths against VTL rockets and the electric cars?

    Perhaps a practitioner of Effective Altruism could better answer that question.
