This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

These estimates are bananas, this only shows the systematic stupidification of Americans is highly successful.

It's called propaganda! Relentless, unceasing bombardment of right wing brain rotting propaganda.
