There is a small sandstone building hidden behind the public library in the village of Winlaton, high on a hill across the river from Newcastle upon Tyne. This is Winlaton Forge, a 300-year-old grade II-listed building, which once glowed with the heat of a furnace and thrummed with the sound of hammer on anvil. Winlaton […]
I’ll state the obvious, then make on observation. The Obvious Epstein was an intelligence operation, probably US intelligence and Mossad working together. Every room had cameras, and everyone who partook can be blackmailed. A Sydney man staring idly at the pricey wares on offer in an Eastern Suburbs artisanal bakery is currently wishing that he was wealthy enough to afford to eat like a subsistence farmer from the Renaissance. “You must have had...

The post Anniversary Trip appeared first on The Perry Bible Fellowship. “Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem slammed the ‘ancient system’ used to warn the public of potential weather threats — and vowed the Trump administration plans to ‘fix’ the technology… Sitting next to Gov. Greg Abbott, Noem was asked why the National Weather Service’s alerts about the heavy rainfall and flash flooding [in Texas] were ‘delayed,’ and said the situation was inherited.” — New York Post - - - As Texas begins to recover from last week’s catastrophic flooding, the Trump administration would like to reassure Texans that Donald Trump is doing everything in his power to improve the National Weather Service’s outdated alert system. That’s why, as part of the DOGE cuts five months ago, we fired everyone at NOAA and replaced them with one guy named Noah. Experts suggest Conservative frontbenchers are deliberately misleading the public
The high court just took up a Trump-backed lawsuit designed to destroy some of the country’s last remaining campaign finance laws.
The harsh violence of Blood Meridian and Lonesome Dove draw us in more than it repels, and the proximity of death makes the actions of its dramatis personae only more vivid and compelling to us.
War kills in so many ways. These days, Americans are bombarded with images from Gaza and elsewhere of people or broken bodies being ferried on stretchers from the rubble of homes and hospitals, by rescue workers whose thin bodies and stricken faces suggest they are barely better off than those they’re helping. Social media and journalists make us eyewitnesses to emaciated children too weak to cry. And yet, compared with air raids that crush and bloody instantaneously, a slower disaster, more difficult to capture (especially given our made-for-TikTok attention spans), consists of the hours that many people in war zones spend wasting away from infectious diseases of one sort or another. Let me count a few of the ways. In... Read more Source: Illness and Endless Wars appeared first on TomDispatch.com.

Thank you for coming to my press conference. Many people describe the Caldecott Honor–winning tome by Robert McCloskey, which recounts my harrowing tale, with words like “precious” and “adorable.” Truth is, inadvertently switching places with a bear cub and almost being raised and/or eaten by a literal mama bear was a traumatizing experience for me, one which nobody seems to understand. I can no longer bite my tongue, and I am here today to speak my truth. I will now take your questions. What specifically was I afraid of, that day after the baby bear and I accidentally switched places? Well, I feared that the bear mom might abscond with me into the wilds of Maine to raise me as her own, like Tarzan, but without the uncomfortable sensual subtext. Why didn’t I just run in the other direction? Wow, way to victim blame. Ever heard of Stockholm syndrome? Our new paper explores the fundamental disagreements between Modern Monetary Theory and Post-Keynesian economics, arguing they stem from deep-seated ontological differences
