The #Manosphere isn’t a movement, it’s a multibillion dollar grievance industry that is indoctrinating then fleecing young men - In “The Grift Economy: How Young Men Are Being Sold Fake Belonging and Fake Wealth Online,” researchers from the digital safety organization Reset Tech and the nonprofit Equimundo map how men are “algorithmically routed into paid communities, unregulated supplements, crypto schemes, and high-ticket ‘coaching’ programs,” which together make up a “multibillion-dollar industry.” “‘Masculinity’ has become a commercial category that is constructed, curated, and financially incentivized online,” write the authors of the 153-page report.

It's hard to imagine there are bigger/more-evil grifters & conmen than #DTBarnum, but there's NO F'ing WAY the #MoronInChief devised this #grift on his own. 🤔

Please SHARE! A NEW Report that maps the multi-billion-dollar industry built on the #loneliness, #economic #anxiety, and identity of #men.
It presents itself as the antidote to a society that has failed men — then sells them the very things that keep them isolated, financially drained, and psychologically dependent on the young men profiting from their struggle. #Grift #economy

Oh my! Looks like the #Affordability crisis and humiliating #FelonsCrusade in #Iran are turning a 2026 #Trump endorsement in Congressional #midterms and state-level races into the ‘kiss of death’! https://www.huffpost.com/entry/amir-hassan-loss-trump-michigan_n_6a7369e0e4b095f523015aae
Does the #grift machine of #DonaldTheDeplorable have a refund policy? 😂

#Felon47's mind-blowing #corruption, #grift, #graft, and acceptance of #emoluments will be the subject of documentaries for the next 75 years (to the delight of the #NarcissistInChief I'm sure.)

Nothing to see here just keeping track of Rebecca Watson's fabulous new video on those sex dolls--oh, sorry, I mean robot teachers--in the New York classroom...

Hmm, yeah, why isn't it just a laptop?

▪ Trump dozes through a eulogy he couldn't stop making about himself
▪ A think tank blames Simone de Beauvoir for girls who wrestle
▪ Sumatran tigers: under 300 left in the wild, and a map of what saves them
▪ Three teenagers, three foiled plots, one word that keeps showing up — friends

48% of Gen Z won’t walk into a church because of who’s standing in the pulpit. They didn’t leave over theology. They left over the company the theology started keeping.
The "we’re the only real Christians" brand took decades to build and one term to burn. The kids ran the numbers. Does this shock you? It does not shock me.

In case all the Enron- and WorldCom-like accounting shenanigans haven't convinced you, here's another blatant sign the wheels are falling off the "AI" hype train.
A contract or memorandum of understanding (or any other written form of agreement) for *half a trillion US dollars* makes no sense at all. It's all just PR, "Look, it's real, please keep hyping our stock, I do too have clothes on!".
(For bonus points, it also calls for Nvidia to invest in SKHynix, so more accounting shenanigans...)
