how much claptrap is in this game
I’ve had this in my Steam account for over 10 years now and never booted it up. Only ever played a few hours of the original Borderlands and not much more. Should I….?

MTG used to routinely circulate this racist claptrap, but now she acknowledges it precisely for what it is.

Deeply embarrassing that Scientific American would lend its name to this claptrap.

Socialize em. Competition is petit bourgeois claptrap.
Health care monopolies on patient care screw over working families and destroy your ability to access affordable care.

All so corporate CEOs, like those from CVS Health, can pad their pockets.

We must break up big medicine. We need a Glass-Steagall for Health Care.

it was always disingenuous claptrap but as someone who came of age in the Bush era it’s still genuinely stunning to see Rs go from wrapping themselves in The Troops to “vets are all lazy bums who don’t deserve jobs”
Alina Habba on veterans who have been fired from government jobs: "Perhaps they're not fit to have a job at this moment."

OpenAI is a garbage company run on claptrap. They should be ashamed.
OpenAI has absolutely zero ideas. They have no business. This is not a real business line and it’s so utterly vague and specious, I’m shocked at the credulousness to just print it without saying “there is no logical way this works of course” or talking about how the CFO of OpenAI is saying nonsense

For the most part, leading Democrats are ducking what is fast becoming the first real litmus test of the 2028 campaign: former President Biden's mental acuity.
Dems confront the first real litmus test of 2028: Biden's mental acuity
Some Democrats argue their leaders aren’t owning up to the truth about Biden — and risk keeping the issue alive indefinitely.
