Not to be some wild-eyed innocent, but I think it should be slightly bigger news that The Lancet have crunched the numbers and found that Musk's USAID cuts will kill 14 million people. And that's just by 2030. That's 9,600 people a day, every day, until the next world cup rolls around.

I don't think most people fully appreciate just how hideously Jim Crow modern Louisiana remains. It should be a national emergency.

These troops -- who are generally very friendly and have no say in what they've been assigned to do -- are walking around in circles all day, around the perimeters of parks, up and down neighborhood streets, with hardly anything to do.

The media is desperate to find some reason why Elon Musk's politics are complicated or more sophisticated than they seem, because the simple truth is too ugly for them to admit - an actual Nazi is the world's wealthiest person, and his companies hold substantial American government contracts.
