Since Trump’s election we’ve seen a massive capitulation of legacy media to ‘bend the knee’ to the President-Elect.

I document several of the main outlets ‘complying in advance,’—and how we can still remain informed despite their capitulation.

STUDY of undergraduate students finds "previously infected students exhibited distinct prefrontal haemodynamic patterns during cognitive engagement, reminiscent of those observed in adults four decades older."

The last 2 weeks shamefully exemplify the hierarchy of human life:
•1 CEO killed—national news for weeks, new security hired, people charged with terrorism
•488 mass shootings in 2024—no major legislation to stop future shootings
•200K+ Palestinians killed—send even more bombs to Netanyahu

This is unsustainable. This is unacceptable. This is indefensible. This must change.

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss:

Australia 0
Canada 0
Denmark 0
Finland 0
France 0
Germany 0
Iceland 0
Ireland 0
Italy 0
Japan 0
Netherlands 0
Norway 0
Portugal 0
Spain 0
Sweden 0
UK 0
United States 530,000

There’s a lesson there.

your fave techbro just posted this on the site his Saudi masters had him buy as their psyops playground :

"It's disgusting how everyone is turning this guy into some kind of folk hero. Insurance COMPANIES, like any company, HAVE A DUTY TO SHAREHOLDERS TO MAXIMIZE PROFITS, NO MATTER HOW RUTHLESSLY. The radical left espousing otherwise needs to grow the hell up"

those are the words of a very self-aware and shameless sociopath.

know your enemy

Scientific American delivers a scathing article about the theologists holding the majority in the US Supreme Court. It’s so good, and so tightly written, that it’s difficult to pull an excerpt without wanting to also include the lead in and follow up. I’ll tempt you with some opening paragraphs, but the article is brilliant and deserves to be read.

“In five instances, Justice Neil Gorsuch’s opinion confused nitrogen oxide, a pollutant that contributes to ozone formation, with nitrous oxide, better known as laughing gas.

You can’t make this stuff up. This repeated mistake in the 5–4 decision exemplifies a high court not just indifferent to facts but contemptuous of them.”
