Me about to piss off a bunch of capitalists: If Bezos doesn’t want to pay his fair share in corporate taxes, I don’t see why we shouldn’t nationalise Amazon and make it a subsidiary of the post office.

A gonorrhea epidemic would be an apt legacy for the Trump-Kennedy-Bhattacharya era of public health.
New preprint: with increasing resistance to ceftriaxone, the last recommended antibiotic for gonorrhea, we urgently need new drugs. Two--zoliflodacin & gepotdiacin--are up for approval by the FDA in Dec. Here we show a point mutation can result in cross-resistance. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I didn't know about the changes in Scouting. Very glad to see it. I was in the Boy Scouts for a few years in my youth. Never took the merit badges or ranks seriously. But I loved the camping and outdoor skills.
Documents show the U.S. military is planning to sever all ties with the organization formerly known as the Boy Scouts.

This is the zany plot of a CIA attempt to assassinate Castro in the 1960s.
FBI Director Kash Patel reportedly showed up in New Zealand this summer with diplomatic pleasantries and a handful of plastic guns that authorities rushed to get rid of because of an explosion risk.
Keystone Kash’s Illegal Gun Gifts Came With a Bonkers Risk
Firearms specialists concluded that Patel’s 3D-printed revolvers met the legal definition of actual firearms under New Zealand law.

I'd also be lying if I said this wasn't an oddly fitting factor for the latter stages of various empires.
God it's so cool that so much of British and European nationalist politics has broadly been shaped by warehouse clickfarms rented by guys in South Asia running "how to make money from racist old people" workshops, and that this has had more influence on media and politics than any grassroots group

2. Buy literally any other type of meat.
