From Ukraine to Cuba, news outlets worldwide are suddenly begging for cash—because their “independent journalism” was actually paid for by Washington all along.

El presidente argentino que se autodenomina como un controversial genio económico para surfear la ola del descontento económico que lo condujo al poder. Ahora está implicado en una de las mayores estafas de la historia, borrando más de 4 mil millones de dólares de capitalización del mercado en pocas horas, dejando a los argentinos preguntándose si ellos también fueron timados. El presidente de Argentina, Javier Milei, ha sido acusado de fraude, y es probable que enfrente un juicio político, luego […]

Let’s get something straight: Four Loko was founded with the mission of making the world a better place. Our cans stand twenty-four ounces tall for the values of liberty, free speech, and the right to booze. Every human has a mouth to drink with and a liver to enlarge. That’s exactly why we are ending our DEI program.
The diversity, equity, and inclusion program was a cornerstone of our woke turn. Now, for reasons entirely unrelated to outside influences, we see the error in our ways. Four Loko is all about reducing inhibitions. So why inhibit hiring mostly straight white dudes with names that Ricky from HR can comfortably pronounce?
In the 2020 disaster movie Greenland, the hero John Garrity (played by Gerard Butler), his wife (Morena Baccarin), and their young son are in a truck driving north from the United States into Canada.

In early January, Donald Trump Jr.’s private plane landed on a snowy airfield in Greenland. There was little fanfare upon his arrival, but his 14 million social-media fans were certainly tagging along. “Greenland coming in hot…well, actually really really cold!!!” President Trump’s eldest son captioned a video he posted on X. It was shot from the cockpit of the plane, where a “Trumpinator” bobblehead (a figurine of his father as the Terminator) rattled on the aircraft’s dashboard as it descended over icy blue seas. It was a stunt of MAGA proportions. Don Jr. was arriving in Greenland on behalf of his father who, along with his new buddy Elon Musk, had announced a desire to seize that vast Arctic landmass...

Good Evening, Burkwood Hills Families—
Due to expected inclement weather, the Burkwood Hills school district is moving to a Flexible Instruction Day (FID) tomorrow. All students should log in virtually for instruction and follow their typical daily schedule. And by “typical daily schedule,” we mean an absolute clusterfuck of pleading and consequence-threatening to get your kids to do literally any of their required work while you also somehow do your job from home. You will break down emotionally and spiritually multiple times throughout the day and annoy everyone in your family.
Scheduled activities will include playing Twister with the cats in a pile of Magna-Tiles, crying, throwing half-eaten Uncrustables at the kitchen window, running manically through the house in pajamas, watching TV, more crying, and eating a gross ton of Z-Bars.
Most Americans don’t understand why Canadians are so angry about Trump’s actions and his talks of annexation.
I think hockey illustrates it well. Back in 2014 the American anthem singer’s mic failed at a hockey game. Canadians finished the song:
Just recently, fans at a Montreal game booed the anthem.
Here’s the thing: ordinary Canadians thought that America was Canada’s friend. They really believed this.
Thus, hearing Trump’s threats and seeing how many Americans back them and how they deride and insult Canada, they feel betrayed.
In All Manners of Food: Eating and Taste in England and France from the Middle Ages to the Present, the sociologist Stephen Mennell disseminated the determination of good taste. Describing the opacity by which culinary class is arrived at, from established tourist manuals to Michelin guides, Mennell describes how judgements are created without engagement or […]
