It is the Washington Post which is owned by Bezos. What do you expect?

"Kim Jong Un's hairdo continues to be absolutely trash. Here's 5 reasons why bald guys are the best things on Earth" - Another headline from a bezos owned property, I suppose

They're just trying to say it will be harder for him to "throw his weight around."

I'll leave now. :P

The word "could" is doing massive work in that headline

I don’t even know how a liberal could take this seriously

Never underestimate the endless wilful stupidity and bigotry of liberals. They just need any excuse at all.

As soon as the DPRK comes up, what brain cells remain for critical thinking immediately shut down. You can say literally anything about the DPRK, as long as it is negative they will eat it up.

North Korea delivered Travis King to the cannibal Kim Jong Un, who ate him alive

I only had to scroll down 2 comments more more

Edit: link doesn't seem to work for me, shows me the response to the comment I copied the link of. Maybe a bug in Jerboa?

Top tier title haha

I don't know if this article is new, but if I recall correctly there was a bunch of articles like this around the second wave of COVID, as people were speculating he had dropped a ton of weight due to being super sick. If this is from that time, that's probably the angle they were going for, rather than gossiping about his eating habits like a tabloid magazine.

It’s not, it’s two years old. You’re on the right track, but it’s not exactly that, but more covering the speculation, even quoting an interview mentioning it as ridiculous and absurd.

Gift link for seeing the actual article.

Lift so hard that the world itself trembles.

"Now, you might think this means there is more food for the starving citizens of North Korea, but, our sources indicate that Kim is actually eating more than he has ever been, and his weight loss is due to his new workout regime (an authoritarian workout regime at that) that he has adopted simply out of spite for his citizens and the desire to deprive them of food." -- RFA, probably.

South Koreans freak out and make headlines when their pop idols lose 0.0005 grams or earn 0.00003 grams of weight. This is not surprising lol.

[–] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 years ago

changes clothes

Oh my, they lost weight!

[–] juchebot88@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Guess they finally found a way in which Kim can genuinely be called a loser
