Observers have drawn a number of conclusions based on a recent series of visits to the site of the Nord Stream pipeline rupture via drone. There’s just one problem: all of them seemed to have missed the location of the explosions. After a recent underwater expedition, The Grayzone can now reveal where they went wrong, and what the real blast sites tell us about the worst act of eco-terrorism in history. On September 26, 2022 and 3 minutes past midnight […]

I love vintage cookbooks, but my favorite genre may be “Recipes from Restaurants That Aren’t There Anymore.” So I immediately bought a copy of Favorite Restaurant Recipes: 500 Unforgettable Dishes from the R.S.V.P. Column of Bon Appetit (1982) when it first popped on my radar. For the R.S.V.P. Column, readers would request recipes from theirContinue reading The Coach House Black Bean Soup & Corn Sticks (1982)

Stop all the clocks, cut off the…
What?
Yes, stop all the clocks.
Yes, all the clocks.
Sorry?

Just stop them.
What do you mean “how”?
Are you honestly telling me
You don’t know how to stop a clock?
Just take the batteries out!
Fine, if it plugs in, take the plug out.
I am aware it will start flashing 00:00

Yes, I want you to stick your finger in,
All the wind-up clocks in the world.
Yes, even Big Ben.
Yes, even the Rathaus-Glockenspiel.
I have thought this through!
I have!
I’m not making up the rules as I go along.
Fine, then just throw a cloth over them.
Please stop crying.
Please.
I know you’ll hear them ticking.
The former President appears to demonstrate reading comprehension at a rudimentary level, decoding letters as they combine to form words and sentences.
Several times in recent weeks I’ve heard people suggest that Mother Nature has been speaking to us through that smoke endlessly drifting south from the still-raging Canadian wildfires. She’s saying that she wants the coal, oil, and gas left in the ground, but I fear her message will have little more influence on climate policy than her previous ones did. After all, we essentially hit the “snooze” button on the wakeup call from Hurricane Katrina 18 years ago; ditto the disastrous Hurricane Sandy seven years later, as well as the East Coast heat waves and West Coast wildfires of more recent years; or the startling overheating of global waters and the sea level rise that goes with it. And that’s... Read more

The official Covid mortality numbers are down, and pretty significantly, in most countries. But we also aren’t testing as much and most countries aren’t collating and releasing figures as much either.
For now, however, we have excess mortality numbers. So, a guy named Diego Bassani produced these two excess mortality charts for Canada.

In 1970, students staged a sit-in in the registry offices of my alma mater Warwick University. There, they stumbled across shocking files detailing extensive surveillance of students and staff as well as the incestuous relationship between the university administration and big business.
