Neoliberalism was neither new nor particularly liberal when it prevailed 50 years ago. Its great advantage was its sharp deviation from classical liberalism. Even though it paid tribute to liberal thinkers, neoliberalism shared neither their method nor their concept of the market. Today, we are on the cusp of another, equally profound, ideological innovation. Unlike […]

President Daniel Noboa appears to have stolen Ecuador’s election. He’s now poised to consolidate control of a system that has benefitted cartels and multinational corporations – including his family business – at the expense of average Ecuadorians. And Washington likes what it sees. Watch The Grayzone’s special video report on Noboa’s well-documented ties to transnational drug cartels here. On April 13, 2025, Ecuador’s National Electoral Council proclaimed incumbent President Daniel Noboa the winner of the presidential runoff—a result that his […]

So, basically, the Supremes ruled 9-0 that Trump had to obey a lower court when they court said to return the hairdresser Trump sent to prison in El-Salvador, who is not a gang member as Trump claimed.
This case is wrong in every way:
People think of Applebee’s as a safe suburban fixture, a place where people go for an innocuous meal at a reasonable price—but strap in, jagoff, because this Applebee’s is not like other Applebee’s. Instead of license plates and joyful Americana, our walls are festooned with divorce certificates and failed attempts at taxidermy.
Most of the animals are dead, at least.
Other Applebee’s branches have sports on TV. So do we—assuming you consider Czechoslovakian pig-throwing a sport. Those guys can really chuck a hog. If you don’t like it, why don’t you just shuffle across the parking lot to Chili’s? They have all the anodyne comforts your dainty bourgeois sensibilities require, like barstools that aren’t eight feet high.
That’s right, our patrons like it when their feet dangle.
Our servers have tattoos that didn’t go right, medically speaking. They’re bleeding and stuff. But once they heal, you’re going to love looking at them, assuming you like seeing shamrocks beating up non-Irish flowers. It sounds harsh, but the flowers had gotten real mouthy with the shamrocks earlier, insulting the clovers’ cousins and whatnot.

My latest book is called This Is How We Love: The Foto-Novel. It’s the story behind the worst movie to have ever won the Academy Award. Have you not heard of this movie?
Let me tell you about it.
But where to begin? Should we begin with the fabled “curse” that afflicted nearly everyone associated with this notorious film, including the gaffers and all three lighting technicians, not to mention the poor thespian pooch, Charlie Boy, the first of two canines to play “Bones the Blind Dog”?
Starvation, siege, and mass expulsion are no longer threats but policies. As Gaza is shattered, the machinery of ethnic cleansing grinds forward, dragging the region—and perhaps the world—toward a reckoning.

The Trump administration vows to seek the death penalty “whenever possible.” But federal cases move slowly, and few result in a death sentence at all.

As a medical professional, I’ve dedicated my career to improving public health and promoting evidence-based practices. This is why I am here today to tell you that one of the most widely used tools for measuring obesity—body mass index (BMI)—is a failure.
Now, as surgeon general, I am proud to declare that BMI’s tyranny over America’s health is dead. And it shall be replaced with a far more effective system—a group of very mean middle schoolers who will tell you whether you’re fat or just ugly and cringe.
The antiquated BMI metric fails to consider various factors that affect weight, such as muscle mass, bone density, and fat distribution. For instance, a bodybuilder can register as “obese,” and a sedentary person could be considered “normal.”
But rude middle schoolers circumvent these concerns by zeroing in on and magnifying even the tiniest flaws. If anyone can truly assess someone’s obesity, it’s a group of sharp-eyed, perpetually judgmental, social-media-savvy twelve-year-olds.
