Leave It To Norway!
I happened across this video the other day. It rocked! The Norwegian Consumer Consul made a video about the enshittification of everything in life by a (fictional for now, of course) professional enshitticator. I had to laugh, shake my head ruefully, wonder where we are headed, laugh some more... I’m in total awe that a Norwegian, independent, governmentally funded organization put this together. Norway! (6th happiest country in the world and the USA is umm, 23rd or something, gah)
Enjoy the video!

Whiner-in-chief
Submitted by fire with fire on Sun, 03/22/2026 - 11:01amThe war news this morning features the Whiner in Chief threatening to huff and puff and blow the lights out in Iran. The goofy Iranians refuse to follow the script and insist on fucking with the world economy, rather than laying down and dying as President Trump wants them to.
Now they’ve really gone and done it! They made the whiner in chief whine yet again. How dare they!
It was nice knowing everybody.
