Slashdot with JS off is perfect, but yeah..

Is this a different URL that restricts/ignores JS? I'm seeing slashdot.org come in at about 1MB.

Like many websites, if they didn't have ad/tracking scripts, it'd be smaller (slashdot seems to have quite a few).

Yes, it's indeed the case with many websites. I didn't even bother to check slashdot with JS enabled :).
