The Sociopath-In-Chief couldn't be bothered to even turn his head in the direction of a man in the midst of a medical emergency who collapsed in his office. Completely incapable of empathy, the EPSTEIN Files can't be released soon enough.

It's a good start to see the fall of Andrew Saxe Coburg. It's not enough though. Let's hope it sinks the whole vile firm, and all the rotten talentless creeps who operate under their con job operation. We don't need these thick arseholes.

A real inspiration. Only goes to show that you can be honoured in life even if you possess the intellect of a pig knuckle and have the sophistication of a burst colostomy bag; even if you're a tumour in a cheap suit and the patron saint of narcissists, incompetents, and dogs that eat their own shit.

Shameful day
UEFA has approved a landmark move to allow Italian and Spanish domestic league matches to be staged abroad while reiterating its “clear opposition” to the plans, which it has granted “on an exceptional basis amid regulatory gaps at global level”.

Not everyone can always cancel things during a boycott, but if you can, today is a perfect day to terrorize the shit out of Disney. Do it for a week. Or be like me (the person described in the follow up post) and cancel b/c you forgot you were subscribed. Then make sure to tell them why. I did.

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check.
In 1965:
-42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now.
-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now.
-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.
