Love you all, but there’s a few people in here that have a lot more money than me. If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but yeah, give your money away, shorties.
This is just…so weak. I really would have appreciated a “fuck you” and a vague threat of violence, but alas.
love you all
Man, dragging just isn’t what it used to I guess
The ghost of Gaddafi is like, “yo WTF, this is what getting dragged is now??”
Playing both sides so she always comes out on top.

She did reference them as “shorties” though. Which, however often benign it is now, has a condescending tone. I liked that part.
Love you all, no hate tho ❤️
Damn what a baddie
They’re never going to financially recover from this.
Oh wait actually nevermind, it turns out they actually made more money while I was writing that sentence than I’ve made in my entire life. I guess they’ll be okay.
I mean, wouldn’t they need to financially suffer first to have a recovery? So I agree, they won’t financially recover from this non-event. There’s nothing to recover from.
Yeah that was originally the joke, but then halfway through writing it I just got depressed.
But were they eviscerated?
And did they all go to the same cocktail party afterwards?
You people bitch when they use the term “slam” but here they are trying something new and you shit on them anyway.
It’s just the hyperbole. It wouldn’t matter which specific word they used if it more closely matched the level of intensity of what actually happened.
In this instance, even a cliché, overused term like ‘jabs’ would be fine.
Zuckerberg is the fifth-richest person in the world with an estimated net worth of $228.3 billion, according to Forbes. In 2015, Zuckerberg and Chan pledged to give away 99 percent of their shares in Meta (Facebook at the time) to philanthropy over their lifetimes. To date, they’ve given away more than $7 billion.”
So in 10 years they’ve given away 3% of his net worth? Fucking slackers.
We need to protect people like Zuckerburg from being singled out and hated by society. This is why we need to tax his wealth until he’s no longer a billionaire. We need to tax him for his own good.
“drags”
This is why AI is so successful in replacing bloggers but will never even come close to replacing real journalists.
Almost as bad as ‘slams’.
“real journalists”
I think those have been extinct for well over a decade now.
All I’ve seen are smug douchebags jerking themselves off for “saving democracy” by posting mugshots and peddling billionaire propaganda.
It’s not like the media has been utterly complicit in boosting trump to where he is now.
That’s a US amurican centered view. Real journalism hasn’t died, even in the US, i. e. Jason Schrier, reports important events in the industry like the Rockstar anti union events. Reuters, DW, ICJ, et al continue to do good work. It’s not their fault our governments ignore the reporting and let everyone walk scot free after panama papers, et al.
For each real journalist you name I can name two dozen shitheads. The state of journalism is fucked
Real journalists? You mean the same people who write “according to a report from xyz organisation”. Which report you lazy fucks? I’m looking for the source, not your layman’s interpretation.
Journalists (on average) are atrocious at citing their sources, or are being asked to be atrocious, and it has driven me crazy when searching online many times.
More like ‘gently chides’. Weak.
“Drags” “slams” She didn’t do anything that would affect anything at all. I don’t care.
I am a wrestler and we don’t use the word slam anywhere near as much as these ‘journalists’ do.
Real issue is not just owning billions, there is also what you have to do to hold on to that kind of money: suck up to dictators so they let you monopolize tech and crush small competitors.
Maybe this will motivate Taylor Swift to give more than her equivalent of a nickel to a dying kid.
not news. put this in the tabloid and entertainment communities
i dont get why billie ellish is such a big topic to talk about but also im old af so thats prolly why.
She is a pop star, of course, and therefore commands a sizeable fanbase and attention of the press, and anything she says will have weight.
that is a very low bar for “dragging”
Billie Eilish SLAMS billionaires!
TBH Eilish always seemed really fake before, kind of vulgar and low talent with the pop equivalent of mumble rapping, but this kind of statement is as real as it gets bringing attention to the fact that “things are really, really bad” because you know for sure a lot of assholes in that crowd were trying real hard to ignore it.
“Especially in our country”? Fuck outta here.
