The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

It’s not “escalating” “emboldened” or “audacious” to target the ability of the nation that launched an illegal war of aggression to finance its illegal war and deliberate target Ukrainian civilians.

This is almost year 12 of the Russian war against Ukraine. Ukraine knows it is up to Ukraine.
Ukraine has used drones four times in the past few weeks to hit oil tankers from Russia’s shadow fleet, escalating the war in the seas and showing that Ukraine’s security services agency feels increasingly emboldened to launch audacious attacks and claim them publicly.
With Attacks on Oil Tankers, Ukraine Takes Aim at Russia’s War Financing
Strikes on four vessels signal that Kyiv is willing to expand the maritime theater of the conflict in an effort to crimp Moscow’s military funding.

One of my greatest worries about climate was “countries will not trust each other enough to do this” but that’s actually become somewhat moot as renewables have become way preferable for many growing countries precisely /because/ they do not trust temperamental petrostates.

yelling that Trump is doing something "against the law" is meaningless if there are no consequences

Rubio needed a large drink of water before defending killing children.
Q: Do you stand by your statement from earlier this year that nobody has died from USAID cuts?

About to go on my first true work-free vacation of 2025 (I hope)! This is one of my final stories for the year, about the extremely humanlike chatbots we've been given and whether they should be that way.

Happy holidays, here's a gift article: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/t...

Trump has now conducted 28 boat strikes, killing over 100 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

Trump on Monday signed an executive order designating street fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction. Venezuela has nothing to do with the fentanyl trade (it gets added in Mexico). For the second time this century, the US would be going to war over imaginary WMD.🤯
