What a brilliant take by this blogger. Mainstream media must be left wing because individual journalists (who don't control the media) donate to Democrats. Truly infallible logic.

I wish the ecological impact was a higher point in the shrinkflation conversation. Same or increased packaging for less of what you're trying to buy means more plastic in landfills and oceans and increased fuel consumption.

Those poor raccoons. I don't know what an autistic raccoon looks like, but these scientists should be ashamed of their... hmmm. I actually have no idea what the conspiracy behind animal vaccinations would be. Big science profiting just doesn't fit right.

Natural consequence of 1) google being shit, and 2) "looking something up" and similar phrases automatically meaning the internet. No one is going to assume the library anymore.

Web search used to be about scraping the web to find and present other people's work as just that... their work. Now the handful of websites claim ownership of the contributions of everyone, and at this point it's just corporations arguing about who owns your stuff.
