Seems to me, a story that has a flesh-hungry rock-dwelling sea monster, a giant cyclops, a witch who turns humans into pigs and birds, and zombies that rise from the ground, is not much about biology at all.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it’s illegal for landlords to:
- Lock you out or evict you without a court order.
- Shut off your heat, hot water, electricity, or other essential services to force you out of your home.
- Retaliate against you for reporting unsafe conditions or exercising your tenant rights.
- Leave serious health and safety hazards, like mold, unrepaired.
- Discriminate against you because of your race, disability, or other protected characteristics.
Notice that when she points to the obvious fact that cutting medical care to millions of people will cause some people to die he immediately crashes out and says everyone is lying because he knows it’s true.
THIS is how the media should handle power.
Zanny Minton Beddoes just showed how to interview Elon Musk. She didn’t defer, flatter, or let claims go unchallenged. She pressed for answers in real time; the kind of accountability powerful people should expect from every interview.
Kinda shows you just the type of hate Trump had for Obama. Not presenting his photo doesn't take away from the fact he will always be a better president than you will ever be.
The world has never been in more danger.
Three of the most powerful & influential people on the planet are failing malignant narcissists. This is not a quirk of their personalities. It defines them: narcissism, psychopathy, paranoia & sadism.
Elon is losing his money—and his connection to reality.
Putin is losing to Ukraine—and the loyalty of his people.
Trump is losing to Iran—and at everything else.
Malignant narcissism is a bottomless pit. These men have no morals, no empathy, and no humanity. No transgression of laws or norms will stop them. No amount of bloodshed will appeal to their “better angels”—because they have none.
These are the ultimate dead-enders—messianic demagogues with nothing inside. Malignant narcissists don’t believe anyone deserves to enjoy life, or even to exist without them, so they always try to take the world with them when the end comes near.
Putin can’t win.
Trump can’t win.
Elon’s money is a mirage.
The question is whether the world can prevent a global catastrophe while they destroy themselves with their own grandiose delusions.
In the long run, for humanity to survive, we must find a way to stop elevating the most dangerous psychopathologies to the most powerful positions in the world.
Massachusetts has just permanently revoked January 6 insurrectionist Dr. Jacquelyn Starer's right to renew her medical license after Trump pardoned her.
Starer was sentenced to prison for punching a police officer after storming the Capitol.
Disgusting, monstrous dude.
It’s also notable how viscerally he seems to hate Mackenzie Scott, who continues to indisputably prove that the wealth hoarding guys like Musk do is a (structural and personal) choice!!
I can't speak to issues like humanitarian aid, but I can say with certainty that Elon's DOGE cuts impacted watchdogs such as the Worker Rights Consortium (WRC).
What is the WRC? People who have been following me for a while may have inadvertently seen WRC reports, as sometimes I post them to show when a company is relying on global supply chains connected to labor abuses. The WRC is a US nonprofit that monitors labor abuses abroad and fights for those workers' interests.
I will give you an example. In 2024, the WRC uncovered labor abuses at a Guatemalan factory, where the factory owner was withholding some $5 million in back wages to over 750 garment workers. This practice, called waged theft, is common in the garment industry, as garment workers are often in precarious positions and not always able to fight back.
The WRC identified a South Korean company, SAE-A Global Trading, as one of the factory's largest customers. SAE-A was essentially getting things made here and then selling those clothes to Target, the US retail chain. The WRC then pressured SAE-A to pay the back wages owed to those workers, which they did (to their credit).
By cutting the WRC's funding, the government has hobbled their efforts. It has become harder to know when labor abuses occur abroad and to fight for those workers. So, in a way, Elon's claim can't be disproven. It's hard to prove that people have been hurt because you've slashed funding for the very watchdogs that monitor for labor abuses.
Importantly, this has happened at the same time as US manufacturing continues to decline. Since 2025, there has been a decline in both manufacturing jobs and new factory construction. This means that Americans continue to rely on imports, especially in clothing, and this is unlikely to change in the near future.
This, in turn, means two things. By hobbling watchdogs and continuing to rely on imports, Americans are less likely to know when their garments are made with exploited labor. And by making it easier for factories to hide exploited labor and hobbling our ability to pressure suppliers to pay back wages, we've put US companies at a further disadvantage. It's now easier to sell a $2 T-shirt in the US, as you can exploit workers abroad and never be held accountable.
This russian woman says waking up to this was "a nightmare" and that she's still shaking.
No. This isn't a nightmare.
The nightmare is what russia has been doing for years—destroying entire cities and killing tens of thousands of Ukrainians.
These are just the consequences.
Ban visas for russians. Don’t let them enter our countries. They should not be among us, spreading their hate propaganda.
Denizens of the Moscow empire don’t deserve a holiday from the imperialist and colonialist war they’re waging against Ukrainians.
Someone said, “Stress can lead to fluid buildup in your retina, & if untreated could lead to vision loss.” So I shared this from the Max Planck Institute, which found COVID infects the retina & replicates in it, & they got mad & told me I should not do this.
I don’t care.
