I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

Thanks for the clarification!
That's weird - only a few weeks ago, there were rumors that Quick Share was going to be extended to also support iOS.
I think your defense is true in broad strokes, but Seinfeld definitely parodies LGBT+ folk very directly and repeatedly. The hyper-aggressive hyper-camp gay couple who target Kramer, the worries from Jerry about being seen wearing a fur coat because people might make assumptions about his sexuality, the "female version of Jerry" that George dates and worries about how it's perceived, Jerry's handbag, and a hundred less plot-pivotal jabs which really do add up.
Some of those are pillorying the main characters, saying that the concern from the characters is petty and ridiculous, and others less so. As I see it, they aggregate into what feels to me like punching down. You do still need to view it in the timeframe and social attitudes in which it was written, too, but I don't think it earns total carte blanche. "Tasteless" might be a balanced conclusion.
If you're a boomer, the older half of Gen X are also boomers and everyone younger is a millennial.

X Likely to Lose More Users in 2025: Post-Election Exodus Projected to Have Continuous Ripple Effect
Chill. The graphic wasn't made for this specific discussion. It's a widely accepted way to group users of a service. In this case, the bell curve represents the adoption of something other than Twitter by Twitter users, and the driver isn't "new thing to try" (in as much as neither federated or newer centralized microblogging platforms have much new to offer), it's the slowly-heating pot of water that the frog is in.
I don't disagree with what you're saying, but Royal Mail was privatised a decade ago. It was floated on the stock market back in late 2013 (for around £2b, and despite objections from 96% of staff), and the government let go of their 30% stake in 2015. Křetínský was a big shareholder even then.
WhatsApp has channels (public feeds centered around topics, a bit like microblogging), communities (groups about a subject, much like Facebook Groups), and updates (temporal video/photo statuses to share with your friends). You might only use it for DM, but it has much bigger aspirations.
The photo of Old Joe used for Camel cigarette branding was taken almost exactly 50 years after the Siege of Vicksburg.
"Car" (as in "carriage") refers here to the basket. It's the same fundamental meaning as in "motor car" - a thing that carries people. You can see this use plenty in older books.
