Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

Geopolitics in 2026 will be the world beginning to grasp how weak a US leadership is that is good at campaigning but comically inept at governing and how fragile a Chinese leadership is that is good at power consolidation but blinkeredly bad at sustainable domestic stability

Another datapoint for how the leadership of the American Right is now too very online in politically self-destructive ways that European observers struggle to grasp.
MAGA elites are too weak to build something lasting but strong enough to cause lasting chaos.

Just getting my head around the life-choices you'd have to make that would lead to you writing the sentence "Only Prince George by some miracle of history could salvage this wreck one day if he has unrestricted TikTok access" and somehow not thinking "this makes me sound mental, doesn't it?".

We've always had these dead-eyed socipaths around. It's just a few years ago they were ignored and now they're "senior fellow" at places funded by evil millionaires + going on podcasts with a brain-rotted ex-PM.
Harrison Pitt accuses the King of treachery. Pitt is a Senior Policy Fellow for Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain, who also regularly co-hosts podcasts with his ally Tomlinson (who advocates banning all ethnic and faith minorities from public office). Like Lowe, Pitt is keen to dissolve boundaries/norms

The last sentence, after all of that, should have someone with control of weapons sectioned.

It is, in passing, a reflection on the long-term damage that even small exposures can do that I’ve just found myself, while pottering in the kitchen on Christmas morning, gently singing Max Boyce’s “I Gave My Love A Debenture”.
