Splinter

Established in 2017, this platform aimed to provide a distinct perspective, elevate marginalized voices, highlight systemic injustices, and hold politicians accountable when needed. Although it garnered a large following of left-leaning supporters on social media and successfully navigated a $100 million defamation lawsuit, the site closed its doors after just two years—much to the dismay of your friend's racist uncle. However, Splinter has made a comeback under new independent management, continuing its mission to expose the truth, because it's still important to share it.

Serial Liar Elon Musk Promises “More Affordable” New Models Amidst Tesla's Falling Profits

Apr 24, 2024 | splinter.com | Jacob Weindling

Tesla’s business has taken a hit lately, as its sales have slowed to the point where it is a legitimate question to ask whether the company (and Elon’s margin loans) are in trouble. The high-profile Cybertruck rollout has been such a disaster that you cannot even wash it in sunlight. Now Tesla is recalling every single Cybertruck as it has a teensy, tiny, little problem where the gas pedal can very easily get pinned down to the floor.
Can the Government Will A Viable Offshore Wind Power Industry Into Existence?

Apr 24, 2024 | splinter.com | Dave Levitan

Offshore wind power ranks only just behind high-speed rail among clean tech that much of the rest of the world can capably build while the U.S. flails about helplessly. The U.K., Denmark, the Netherlands, and especially China have spent the last couple decades installing tens of thousands of megawatts of offshore turbines, a period this country largely spent trying and then failing to build some signature projects. By last year, though, things had finally started to turn.

Apr 22, 2024 | splinter.com | Jacob Weindling

Columbia University is currently home to one of the highest-profile student protests against the American-backed Israeli genocide in Gaza. On Sunday, elite political America decided they have had enough of the kids driving this debate and began to push back, beginning with the White House and the aid of high-profile journalists eschewing their jobs in favor of stenography. Stenography is the act of simply writing down the words that other people say.
Canada’s Cautionary Climate Tale
