there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

The fact that Elon completely snapped because JCO said he's a weird little guy with no human interests is so funny.
It's like if someone posted "Peter Thiel will never serve cunt" and he spent the next week unconvincingly replying "slay" to drag queens

all my core arguments in one case:
1. the modern far right has international ambitions
2. concessions don't pacify the far right, they embolden it
3. you can't be neutral (as the bbc tried to be)
4. they attack where resistance is weakest
5. right now, that's the uk

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.
The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

Funko admits “substantial doubt” it can continue as a going concern amid crashing sales and mounting debt.

Another species no longer on the global Endangered list:
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae).
A few decades after a Star Trek movie where the central conflict was the total extinction of the humpback, their numbers are rising fast enough to put them at "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List.
