The new anonymous phone carrier startup Phreeli, launching today, will let you sign up for cellular service with almost no personally identifiable information—not even your name.

Hey, remember Charlie Kirk?

Me neither.

He led a meaningless life. He disappeared from our memory like a puff of smoke because there are plenty of other people pumping out the same garbage he did. He was a commodity.

It seems so strange that anybody ever cared, or pretended to. He had one life, and wasted it being cruel.

I know #Tidal isn't perfect (and buying physical media or band merch is better, but hey, that is situational, I will only buy an album after I already like it), but this sort of thing makes me feel vindicated in choosing not to use #Spotify.

This is what community is about. Coming together and helping each other out, especially when things get rough.

Mexico's outline is in green and covers the southwestern states. Cuba's outline is in blue and is positioned over Florida. The Bahamas' outline is in yellow and is located to the east of Florida. An inset map shows a small portion of Russia and Canada overlaid on the Aleutian Islands.

The Guardian's annoying fundraising banner pairs exceptionally well with this image

Screenshot of a news article half-covered by a fundraising banner.  The top half of the page is a picture of a passed-out raccoon in a bathroom.  The bottom half reads (very dramatically) "This is what they're afraid of" and has a bar showing they've raised $1.4M out of their goal of $2M.

Hey! I’m CEO of a company that has just raised $10 billion for an app that takes the hard work out of enjoying music. Did you know, some people waste hours each day listening to “tunes”.

Everyone laughs and laughs at cats getting into boxes, but if you put a chair-height cube in a room with a human they will sit on it.

So, who is manipulated by the box now?
