    Reminder that Newsweek is a hollowed out rag. They are at the end stage of the private equity news buyout process.

    When everything of value has been squeezed and extracted, the only thing left is the brand name, which is then sold because it’s the last thing of value, simply because it retains semblance of namere cognition for what it used to be.

    They just published a story last week saying that Green Party candidates actually pull votes from Republican candidates. I wish I was joking.

    Point is, this story could be true and I would have no problem believing it…if it was published by a credible outlet. In fact, if it is accurate, I expect to see more reputable outlets covering it soon, which I look forward to reading.

    Until then, I’ll mentally file it alongside the tabloid headlines I skim when checking out at the grocery store.

    On a related note, Perun’s most recent video covering North Korea’s role in the wider Ukraine conflict was phenomenal, per usual. Definitely worth watching, if you haven’t already.
