Donald Trump’s “Truth Social” (Ya, I know, fucking hilarious), just released their latest “service”. It’s called “Truth API”. So, what does it do? Well, for a hefty fee, you can buy “access” to the 10 most influential people on the platform and see their “truths” before anyone else. There’s no exact timeline, but effectively you would be able to get information before the general public.

Seeing as Trump’s “Truths” almost always move global markets, you can then hedge bets before the general public does on which way the market will go based on his bullshit.

There ya go. He’s literally selling insider trading access.

And you know what’s going to be done about it? Absolutely fucking nothing. Once again, hard right politics just break all the rules with impunity while left wing parties just sit there and pen condolence letters for dead hard right pieces of shit that break all the rules. Seriously. It’s absolutely fucking baffling.

She’s a trash human.

Yup. She just puts on a front to sell records and put asses in seats to impressionable young girls. Don’t even try and justify her bullshit with “oh, she donates so much”. You know who else donates a ton of money? Jeff Bezos.

She got married yesterday. Who fucking cares. But, the guest list for her wedding is interesting. Apparently Blake Lively wasn’t invited because “her presence wouldn’t let Taylor have peace”. OK, fine, it’s her wedding, she can invite or not invite whomever she wants, right? Then can she explain why Steven J. Demetriou was in attendance?

Let me guess, you don’t know who Steven J. Demetriou is. He owns the company that runs multiple ICE detention centres. Is having a fascist at her wedding bringing her “peace”? Taylor? What do you have to say about that?

Nothing. Of course nothing.

Fucking two faced cunt.

Except when it affects her.

This. This is exactly the type of shit that re-enforces the idea that society is a fucking disaster. This person thinks they’re being helpful, and they’re going to get support. Oh woe is me, I had to look at some mail on the ground in a park, right beside a trash can.

Jenni C Yyz couldn’t take 3 seconds to think “Oh hey, who leaves a shitload of mail on the ground”, and didn’t bother to consider “Probably stolen and when the thief didn’t find anything useful to them they threw this shit on the ground and walked away”. They couldn’t even pick up the mail and put it in the trash, let alone pick up the mail and walk it the LITERAL half block to where it was likely stolen from. No. Instead, they pulled out their best friend, the cellphone, took a photo, then opened Facebook, searched for this group, then posted it.

What really tops off this fucking useless bitch is the comments. Sarah Townson uses her brain and even the smallest shred of empathy for others, takes 20 minutes out of her day, collects the mail, and takes it back to where it was stolen from – noting that there were what looked like important documents in there. But Jenni had to continue her holier than thou attitude, then basically shaming Sarah and ensuring that she cleaned up the entire park “oh, but did you get it all”?

Fuck Jenni C Yyz. What a fucking cunt.

All these people wearing those “anti-social social club” hoodies, thinking they’re being cool because they’re advertising the fact they’re not well socially adjusted. I think it’s lame, but whatever. You do you.

But, did you know that’s a massive corporate owned brand, just leeching your money from you? It’s owned by Marquee Brands, since 2022 and also controls brands such as Ben Sherman, Body Glove, Dakine, Istoner, Totes, Martha Stewart, and others.

Also, the CEO makes a measly $10+ Million/year, so that’s cool. Keep buying the shirts bro. Neil will have this 3rd yacht soon.

Thank goodness Zuckerberg’s Facebook and Musk’s “X” is bringing it back. I couldn’t think of two other tech bros who love racism more than those fucks. Of course, “relearn.org” is little more than thinly veiled white christian nationalism. The Catholic Church is little more than a racist terrorist organization at this point.

Don’t believe me? Then why isn’t the church denouncing all of these organizations? They couldn’t give fuck as long as people keep giving them money.

Have you bought anything made by Brooks Brothers, Eddie Bauer, Reebok, Champion in the past 6 or 7 years and thought “this isn’t anywhere as good as it used to be”? There’s a reason for that, and it’s completely planned – of course, by yet another venture capital parasite. It’s a $20 billion company that doesn’t design or manufacture anything, they simply rent the logo out to the cheapest bidder. Quality control is right out the window – it’s little more than a logo stapled to a royalty agreement.

The company is called Authentic Brands Group. Their playbook is to wait for a beloved brand to hit financial trouble, buy the intellectual property, the name, logo, and trademarks. Strip out the designers, factory workers, & quality control, then license the brand name to third-party companies who actually make and sell everything. ABG just sits back and collects royalty checks not giving a rats ass about what is or isn’t actually produced.

ABG’s own IPO filing was shockingly transparent about the whole plan : “We generally do not design or manufacture the products associated with our brands and therefore have more limited control over such products’ quality”. They call themselves “brand guardians” but what they really guard is the trademark. Not the stitching, the materials, or the people who made the thing worth buying in the first place.

Here’s what happens after ABG “saves” a brand. Brooks Brothers was founded in 1818 and dressed 40 presidents. ABG bought it out of bankruptcy in 2020 and launched a cheap diffusion line at Macy’s that reviewers called “a little bit shabby.” Eddie Bauer was bought by ABG in 2021 and just filed its third bankruptcy in February 2026 with all 174 stores closing. Forever 21 was bought out of bankruptcy in 2020 and went bankrupt again in 2025 losing over $400 million in three years and closing all 350 U.S. stores.

ABG doesn’t need the stores to survive. When an operating partner goes bankrupt, ABG still owns the brand. They just find another licensee. The workers all lose their jobs. ABG loses nothing.

And ABG isn’t the only company doing this. Here’s who owns what so you can make informed choices:

Authentic Brands Group: Aéropostale, Arrow, Barneys New York, Billabong, Brooks Brothers, Champion, DC Shoes, Dockers, Eddie Bauer, Element, Forever 21, Frederick’s of Hollywood, Frye, Greg Norman, Guess (pending), Hunter Boots, Izod, Jones New York, Juicy Couture, Lucky Brand, Nautica, Nine West, Prince, Quiksilver, Reebok, Rockport, Roxy, RVCA, Sperry, Spyder, Tapout, Ted Baker, Van Heusen, Vince, Volcom

WHP Global: Toys “R” Us, Babies “R” Us, Rag & Bone, Vera Wang, G-Star, Express, Bonobos, Joe’s Jeans, Anne Klein, Joseph Abboud, Isaac Mizrahi, Warners, Lotto, Lands’ End

Marquee Brands: Martha Stewart, Laura Ashley, Sur La Table, Emeril Lagasse, America’s Test Kitchen, BCBGMAXAZRIA, BCBG, Ben Sherman, Bruno Magli, Anti Social Social Club, Totes, Isotoner, Destination Maternity, Motherhood, A Pea in the Pod, Stance, Dakine, Body Glove

Same playbook everywhere. Buy the name. Gut the product. Collect the rent. That’s capitalism, baby.
