Yeah, how is the Switch 2 like the best selling console with 2 games? (Plus access to the Switch 1 library but even then they want to charge $10 to "upgrade" games you already own???)

They don't swat people. Mass swatter Torswats (which turned out to be a team of a few people) tried to blame it on them for a little bit, but was ultimately caught.

I hope the poor guy is doing okay with one hind leg. :(

Some of these feel mutually exclusive...

It threw off everybody's bullshit calibration when the FBI announced in 2020 that the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, which included implications of Joe Biden taking foreign bribe money, was "Russian Disinformation".

They also ordered (technically only "asked nicely") Facebook and Twitter to engage in censorship campaigns based on this.

Later, after helping Biden win the election, they admitted that the laptop was real and not a Russian psyop as publicly claimed. Internal text messages revealed even later prove that while the FBI may have thought the laptop was not real at first, they did not believe it was a Russian plant, in other words, they lied.

So stuff like that might be why Republicans tend to believe "Russian Misinformation".

 

Previously TSMC had delayed their expansion plans for US plants, but now has advanced their schedule.

More like Facebook worked overtime to tip the 2020 election towards Biden and Trump is still mad about it.

Well, FOIA requests revealed Facebook was extremely cooperative with both enacting government censorship requests, and keeping them secret, when those same censorship requests would have been utterly illegal if they were an official order, so...

Some deal like "You give us control over information and we leave your monopoly alone", even unspoken, seems to be the gist of it.
