Hey Mark, you're worth around $35 million while continuing to land major Hollywood roles. You could donate $25-30 million tomorrow and still live an extremely comfortable life for the rest of your days.

At a conservative 4% safe withdrawal rate, even a remaining $5-10 million would generate roughly $200,000-$400,000 a year in passive income, several times what the average family earns. On top of that, you own multiple luxury properties, including a New York penthouse reportedly worth around $7 million, and you're still taking on film roles that pay millions.

Lecturing others while sitting on tens of millions yourself is peak Hollywood...

As for Elon, his charitable giving has far exceeded your entire net worth tenfold. And as for the idea that he can simply "solve world hunger" by writing one giant cheque only demonstrates your fundamental misunderstanding of how global hunger actually works. It's not a problem that disappears because one wealthy person transfers money into the system.

You need a basic economics lesson and a mirror, because your hypocrisy is matched only by your lack of self-awareness.

Vous avez peut-être une bouteille de Chartreuse dans un placard. Deux hommes au monde savent ce qu'il y a dedans.

Ils vivent dans un monastère de l'Isère, à 850 mètres d'altitude, au fond d'un vallon que saint Bruno a choisi en 1084 précisément parce que personne n'y venait jamais.

La règle est simple : le lieu ne se visite pas. Neuf siècles, et pas une seule journée portes ouvertes.

Chaque année, 18 tonnes de plantes séchées arrivent au monastère. Dans une pièce qu'on appelle la salle des plantes, deux moines les trient, les pèsent et les mélangent selon une formule de 1605, reçue d'un manuscrit dont personne n'a jamais identifié l'auteur.

130 plantes. Les sacs partent numérotés vers la distillerie. Personne, en aval, ne sait ce qu'ils contiennent.

Ce silence a résisté à tout. Une avalanche qui rase le monastère en 1132. Des incendies à répétition. La Révolution qui disperse les moines. Et le 29 avril 1903, l'expulsion manu militari : les gendarmes vident les lieux pendant que les habitants de la vallée pleurent devant les murs.

Exil en Italie. Trente-sept ans. Ils sont revenus en 1940.

Aujourd'hui ils sont une trentaine, et la recette tient toujours.

Aujourd’hui est ta dernière danse.

Toi qui nous as tant donné.
Nous aurions dû t’offrir une meilleure fin, mais nous avons échoué.
Mettre des mots sur ce que tu as apporté pendant 14 ans est très difficile, tant tu as été un acteur majeur du renouveau de cette équipe. Les gens n’ont pas toujours su apprécier ta grandeur, mais le temps et l’histoire s’en chargeront…
Merci de m’avoir donné la chance et l’opportunité de représenter mon pays sur la plus grande scène pendant tant d’années.
Je me sens privilégié d’avoir pu être aux côtés de l’une des plus grandes légendes de notre pays, et je ne garde que d’excellents souvenirs de tout ce que nous avons vécu et accompli ensemble.
Je te souhaite le meilleur dans ta nouvelle aventure, et encore merci pour tout ce que tu as apporté à ce maillot qui compte tant pour nous.

🚨👶 ALERTE PARENTS — Un homme déjà condamné pour agression sexuelle sur mineur, fiché au FIJAIS, et soupçonné d'avoir violé ou agressé sexuellement 18 enfants âgés de 2 mois à 5 ans, a été recruté comme « personne de confiance » sur un site de babysitting.

C'est ce qui s'est passé sur la plateforme Nounou-Top, qui mettait en relation des familles avec un homme de 37 ans, condamné en 2020 et interdit d'exercer toute activité impliquant un contact habituel avec des mineurs.

La DGCCRF somme l'entreprise de retirer les mentions « babysitter vérifié », « profil fiable » et « personne de confiance », jugées trompeuses. Elle rappelle aux parents qu'ils peuvent exiger le bulletin n°3 du casier judiciaire des candidats.

Single Chinese man commissions triplet babies. Doesn't show up when they're born. Eventually sends two sketchy guys in a black SUV to collect them. Mother refuses.

She doesn't hear from him for a year and a half.

One triplet dies from RSV complications. She mourns like the grieving mother she is.

She and her husband are now fighting for custody. But he filed a challenge and now the babies are in foster care.

Welcome to the global baby trade. #Surrogacy.

Sad news: France's oldest lace factory is closing its doors

🇫🇷 Né en 1932 dans une famille de musiciens polonais installée dans le Marais, Jean est arrêté avec sa mère lors de la rafle du Vél’ d’Hiv’. Il garde le souvenir d’une scène qu’aucun enfant ne devrait jamais avoir à voir.

Interné à Beaune-la-Rolande puis à Drancy, il est finalement libéré avant d’être caché pendant le reste de la guerre. À son retour, il attend en vain son père et son frère à l’hôtel Lutetia. Ils ont tous deux été assassinés en déportation.

Jusqu’à notre rencontre, Jean n’avait jamais témoigné.

RFK Jr. reveals what HHS found when they went looking for the 375,000 migrant kids Biden lost.

"It's a huge, huge tragedy."

"One guy pretended to be the parent of 42 children. We have no idea what happened to those kids."

"We're now finding them. We found about 137,000 of them, but a lot of them you just can't find. There was about 60 kids who were sent to one address. When we looked at that address, it was a container, a steel container in the middle of a parking lot."

"A lot of them were sent to work at slaughterhouses and picking fruits in the fields. They were slaves."

"So we stopped that. Now everybody who comes in has to validate the relationship. We DNA test them to make sure they're related to that kid. Nobody gets a kid unless we know that is the kid's parent or relative."

"It's a huge, huge tragedy. My agency [under Biden] was the single biggest child trafficker in the world."

Daphne Caruana Galizia is back in the news because the former economy minister and PM's chief of staff have been named in court as having ordered her murder.

Reminder: Daphne was a TERF before it was cool.
Her blog is still up, and you can see what she thought of gendershite. Chillingly, one of the two senior government officials who *allegedly* ordered her murder is the last person she wrote about.

Jay Leno says he turned down retirement learned how to do everything to take care of his wife with dementia

‘When you get married you take a vow will I live up to this or will I be like a sleazy guy something happens to my wife and I’m out banging the cashier at the mini mart no I didn’t’

‘I enjoy the time with my wife I go home I cook dinner for her we watch Tv it’s basically what we did before except now I have to feed her and do all those things but I like it I like taking care of her she’s very independent woman’

‘She goes honey I love you I said you’re having a nightmare go back to bed she couldn’t stop laughing and to me that’s what’s fun I got a laugh out of her’

Our new paper presents a metabolic manifesto that can help curb the current epidemic of chronic diseases and cancer. We show how mitochondrial dysfunction is the root of many chronic diseases and most major cancers (https://t.co/WPf2CHezsC). A quantitative scale of glucose ketone index (GKI) values linked to color-coded zones of health provides a cohesive readout for increasing adherence and reducing risk of chronic disease and cancer. Low GKI values can improve mitochondrial function thus reducing risk, while high GKI values can compromise mitochondrial function thus increasing risk. The GKI, used together with science-based nutrition and exercise, represents a novel therapeutic strategy for improving mitochondrial health regardless of age, gender, or genetic predisposition.

Folic acid is not the same as the other things added to our bread.

1. Thiamin and niacin molecules are the same molecule as found in wholemeal and removed in milling. You can't overdose.
2. Iron and chalk are different salts to the ones found in food, you can overdose and people with haemochromatosis and kidney stones need to be careful about consumption.
3. Folic acid is a drug:
a) It is synthetic and is never found in nature
b) It needs to be converted by an inefficient enzyme before the body can use it (and has effects on the body in its unmetabolised state)
c) It is being added for a medicinal purpose.
d) People with certain medical conditions have to avoid it and the patient information leaflet that comes with the drug and the NHS both warn about these (including undiagnosed B12 deficency)
e) It interacts with other medications that people take.

Remember the plastic straw debate?

I was curious how banning straws globally would stack up against @TheOceanCleanup’s current impact.

US beach cleanup data suggests straws make up just 0.005% of plastic pollution.

The Ocean Cleanup is now stopping 2–5% of global plastic inflow (and growing rapidly)

So our current impact is already ~400–1000x what a global straw ban could ever achieve!
