The middle class is like the personal carbon footprint - it's a fabrication created by the ultra-wealthy to divert responsibility from themselves. There is only the owner class and the working class.

Only if the ingredient is HFCS.
Yes, same energy.
Arch is pourover coffee; Gentoo is those ridiculous Rube Goldberg setups that take 45 minutes to make a single cup. Both are for hipsters.
I love PopOS ARCH Linux

Containing China is the primary military objective of the US at the moment (other than defending domestic territory): https://www.csis.org/analysis/2026-national-defense-strategy-numbers-radical-changes-moderate-changes-and-some#h2-priorities-homeland-defense-then-deterring-china
Their forces currently deployed to the ME are nowhere near half of what they have in total.
Thanks. Would they take advantage of US distraction to move against TW? I doubt it - the US can easily fight another war on another front.
Paywalled - I can only see the first sentence.
I would call a reduction of $191M in annual funding a cut.
It was a one-off bonus. If you win the lottery one year and not the next, it would be absurd to complain that you've lost income. https://www.thewirereport.ca/2026/03/02/liberals-discontinue-temporary-funding-supports-for-cbc/
I'm not sure it's fair to call this a cut - they just didn't repeat last year's temporary funding boost, which was explicitly framed as being temporary. CBC's funding is almost exactly what it was 2 years ago.
Edit to add numbers for the 90% of people who won't read the article:
- 2026-27: $1,383,252,311
- 2025-26: $1,425,237,411 (later rose to $1,575,237,411)
- 2024-25: $1,383,237,411 (later rose to $1,425,237,411)
- 2023-24: $1,287,169,435 (no subsequent expenditures)
- 2022-23: $1,266,123,241 (later rose to $1,287,123,241)
- 2021-22: $1,229,423,241 (later rose to $1,250,423,241)
- 2020-21: $1,210,797,846 (later rose to $1,247,497,846)

If anything, it's a milquetoast and meaningless statement.
