As of five years ago, 70 petabytes: https://blog.adafruit.com/2020/12/01/donate-to-the-internet-archive-digital-library-of-free-borrowable-books-movies-music-wayback-machine-internetarchive/

in 2012 it was 10 petabytes. Now, it's probably well over 100 petabytes. I think it well beyond the scope of torrents by now.

Side note: does he get his bitcoin wallet back?

Dude was deep into Bitcoin back when it was less than a dollar. If he diversified and stashed just a fraction of his holdings, he might now be one of the richest people on the planet.

Who says crime doesn't pay? :/

DEI is basically "you know that thing we do where we only hire from the old boys club at our favorite ivy league university? Let's hold off on that."

Companies benefit from DEI policies because they expand their hiring pool, so the company ends up with better talent. They're still aiming to hire the best out of that pool, of course. Companies are motivated by profit, not by reparations.

I know its effect won’t be more equality.

Its effect will be more equality. Unfortunately that is not a good thing for the old boys club, which is what motivates the FUD and disinformation you've heard regarding DEI as a buzzword.

Am I missing something? You don't have to precook lasagna noodles, you put them straight in the lasagna and they cook in the sauce.

No platform whatsoever. Literally his only game plan is to antagonize every single policy the Democrats make the world a tiny bit better with.

If Biden made a PSA about how playing Russian roulette is bad, we'd get President-elect Vance tomorrow. And given how blindly these lemmings follow, perhaps President-elect Johnson the day after that, etc.

20 years ago I would have said "what's that, an egg roll or something?"

More of a diplomatic crisis between Israel and the entire rest of world, really.

You sound like you'd like the types of videos posted to /c/[email protected]

Also these types of creators are commonly on nebula.tv, if you want to support them directly.

We are all normal people and realize that blowing up a bridge with cars or people on it is not allowed

This is the internet. Everyone is here, even the not-normal people. Even the not-normal people inclined to actually blow up bridges, who will interpret your "cars kill hundreds of people" statement as some kind of twisted casus belli. Everyone is here, even the carbrains looking for reasons to discredit urbanists.

I don't think posting "art" like this is constructive, to put it mildly.

Polyglotism. Being able to speak every language would be practically a superpower.

They call those "podcasts" nowadays. But in the spirit of your question, I'll say my favorite is Wait Wait Don't Tell Me.
