My column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Murderous heat, an endangered food supply, decimated landscapes: embrace the Mediterranean life | George Monbiot

As climate disaster stares us in the face, the radical right says ‘Embrace the Mediterranean life’. Embrace death, more like it, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

1/5 Putin cannot win on the front lines, so he has engineered a terrifying new theory of victory. Ukraine’s allies are pathetic cowards and Putin knows it. With his army stalling, he is betting everything on raining ballistic missiles onto Ukrainian cities while the West watches

I fear we might see a new alignment between a radical right death cult and a rural revivalist "simplicity" drive, which views collapse and a return to "organic" communities as a solution to decadent urbanism. A century ago this convergence led to a very bad place. www.monbiot.com/2023/10/04/t...

What if older people refuse help outside the family? This is the taboo that could wreck care reform | Emily Kenway

"RFK Jr. is wrong. Peru had the highest COVID-19 death rate, not the U.S." 🔸Peru had the highest COVID-19 death rate per capita from January 2020 to March 2023 with 665.84 deaths per 100,000. The U.S. rate was nearly half at 341.11 per 100,000 people, according to Johns Hopkins University.

Peru had the highest COVID-19 death rate, not the U.S.

During a CNN interview, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the U.S. had the highest death rate from COVID-19. Peru’s was higher.

“‘Summer is nearly over and the American people haven’t seen a single episode of this reality TV show—so what did the corporate sponsors who helped fund this road trip actually pay for?‘ Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., told Forbes in an email.” Good scoop here from @srkelleher.bsky.social !

Summer’s almost over and Sean Duffy’s controversial road trip reality series has yet to launch, leaving corporate sponsors out millions of dollars and critics asking what the money was really for.

1/ Epstein's will names 💰 Ruemmler as successor executor after Indyke and Kahn. "The will was signed, witnessed, and notarized that same day. ...language of a completed legal instrument: “IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have duly executed this Will this 8th day of May, 2018.” It is not marked as a draft."

SARS-CoV-2 did not come from a lab. There is no evidence pointing to laboratory origins. There’s been a massive disinformation campaign to convince the public otherwise. It’s scary how effective that campaign has been.

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."
