This is just a small glimpse of how the mainstream media let's you see what they want you to see. This "Interview" is a Hollywood production. Pretty lazy of them to just cut and paste the edits here. Misleading, false, and unethical are a few words to describe this.
Wonder how many edits were in the latest @TuckerCarlson discussion with @elonmusk ?
MTV’s Unplugged series was a real test for the musicians of that era.
Sure, you sound huge wired up to stacks of amps with distortion and effects stacked on top of each other.
But can you do it in a small room, up close to the audience, without all the gear to hide behind?
Stripped naked of the electricity.
Just the songs, the voices, and whatever you could pull out of an acoustic guitar and bongos.
The Stone Temple Pilots walked into that room in 1993 and passed the test.
Scott Weiland sat in a rocking chair like he owned the place.
No theatrics, no wall of sound to lean on.
Just the band and the material.
“Plush,” “Creep,” “Wicked Garden,” and the first public airing of “Big Empty.”
It held up. The songs didn’t need the volume to work.
That was the point of the whole series.
Some bands just got quieter.
The ones that mattered found a different kind of power when everything else was taken away.
“Plush”

This is insane.
The historic Église Saint-Cyriaque church in Montenach, France, was just set on fire.
Survived both world wars but couldn’t survive diversity.
I care a lot more about saving babies than being politically correct. We are done with euphemisms when talking about abortion. It’s not “reproductive healthcare.” Abortion is barbaric and evil.
Amazon just got caught running a secret price manipulation operation with Levi's, Home Depot, Walmart, and many more.
Every time you "comparison shopped" online, you were looking at prices that were already rigged.
Here's what happened:
Amazon would monitor prices on Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Chewy in real time. The second a competitor listed a product cheaper than Amazon, they'd contact the brand directly and tell them to "fix it."
And the exact emails are now PUBLIC.
Amazon sent Levi's links to two Walmart listings with the subject line "styles of concern." They basically said the prices on Walmart are too low and we have a problem.
The next day, Levi's responded: "I talked to Walmart and they have partnered with us to take Easy Khaki Classic fit back up to ladder SPP price, $29.99 immediately."
Levi's literally called Walmart and told them to raise the price. Because Amazon told Levi's to make the call.
Walmart complied. Then Amazon matched the HIGHER price.
Both retailers ended up charging more. The customer paid extra. Nobody competed.
Same playbook with Hanes:
Amazon sent them links showing Target and Walmart prices were lower. Hanes confirmed they "reached out to Target and Walmart to have the prices increased."
Target increased the prices. Walmart increased the prices. Amazon kept their margins.
But it gets even worse...
Amazon told Allergan (the company that makes eye drops) that their product was "suppressed" on Amazon because it was cheaper on another site.
Allergan responded: "Walmart got their price back up to $16.99." Amazon then unsuppressed the listing.
They did this with pet treats on Chewy. Furniture on Home Depot. Products across dozens of categories spanning YEARS.
The mechanism is simple but terrifying:
If you're a brand and you sell cheaper on Walmart than on Amazon, Amazon suppresses your product, removes you from the Buy Box, buries you in search results, and effectively makes you invisible to 300 million customers.
Brands can't afford that. So they call Walmart and Target and say "raise your prices or we'll lose our Amazon listings."
Walmart and Target comply because they need the brand's products.
Amazon captures 40 cents of every dollar spent online in America. That gives them the leverage to set prices across THE ENTIRE internet. Not just their own platform.
So turns out, you were never comparison shopping.
You were looking at a coordinated price floor set by Amazon through backroom phone calls between brands and their competitors.
"Amazon is working to make your life more unaffordable."
3 separate antitrust trials are now scheduled for 2027. The FTC has its own case. 18 states plus the DOJ are piling on.
This is literally happening during the WORST affordability crisis in a generation. Groceries up 25% since 2020. Housing unaffordable. Wages flat.
And the largest ecommerce company on Earth has been secretly coordinating with brands to make sure you can't find a cheaper price ANYWHERE.
"Competition" in retail is just a fantasy.
Life with ALS or a spinal cord injury often means navigating a gradual or sudden loss of independence.
Neuralink aims to restore autonomy to those with unmet medical needs—starting with device control and communication, and expanding toward vision and other applications.
God is so merciful.
This is Zaid Garcia, a burn survivor who endured burns over 80% of his body at age two after a candle ignited his bedding.
He lost both hands, his vision (blinded by the burns), and part of one arm.
Doctors said he wouldn’t survive.
But by God’s grace, he defied the odds.
Every person, regardless of the suffering they endure, is precious, valuable, and worth fighting for.
This man is incredible—Artemis II Astronaut Victor Glover had a simple message to his neighbors as he arrived home:
“I don’t know if you heard me say it, but God told us to love Him with all that we are and love our neighbors as ourselves.”
The astronauts. Their ride around the Moon.
The Artemis II astronauts pose for a group photo after viewing their Orion spacecraft — which they named Integrity — in the well deck of USS John P. Murtha following their splashdown.
