"As of this writing, Monroe has posted 39 videos and only 9 houses of worship have offered to help her: They include a Catholic church in Alcoa, TN; a Baptist church in Louisville, KY; a Buddhist temple in Chapel Hill, NC; and an Islamic Center in Charlotte, NC."
TikToker Nikalie Monroe called dozens of churches pretending to be a mom who couldn’t afford baby formula.
Most refused to help.
The results are devastating—and revealing.

So, listen, call Schumer’s office no matter where you live, no matter if you’re registered to vote. Leave a voicemail that says if Senate Dems cave without an ACA premiums fix, you will never vote for or donate to another Senate Democrat as long as he is Leader

In no way am I slighting ICIJ and their work here, but No Fucking Shit.
Recent research based on ICIJ’s #OffshoreLeaks database found that ultrawealthy people in countries with high rates of financial transparency and oversight are just as likely to turn to the offshore world as their counterparts living under corrupt regimes.
Dartmouth researchers use ICIJ database to show how the ultrawealthy exploit the offshore world - ICIJ
ICIJ spoke to author Herbert Chang about the study, which found that elites in both democratic and authoritarian countries are well-versed in financial secrecy tactics.

Bahahahahaha The New York Times just printed an opinion piece declaring "AI is intelligent, so long as we redefine what intelligence means to include it. And soon AI will be conscious, because we'll just redefine consciousness too!"

Now we are watching a 1983 documentary on Sterling Hayden that's on the Criterion disc. Great actor, crazy bastard.
