I was one of the painters on Loving Vincent. I worked in the Greek Studio. I really enjoy your review of The Peasants. Dorota and Hugh are brilliant. It was such an honour to work on LV.

It’s stuff like this that completely undermines arguments that Makary, Bhattacharya, Prasad etc are ‘reasonable‘ voices with good ideas. They are wilfully dishonest when it suits them, and when it’ll please their MAHA master. It’s the exact same doctors-are-so-dumb playbook as wellness influencers
I see that Marty Makary is in the news. I just wrote about his PragerU interview. If you want to see how wildly ignorant he seems to be, have a look.

Arguments like “It’s war — terrible things happen,” or “Yes, the Israeli military may be going too far, but what about Hamas?” are't just morally bankrupt – they're dangerous.
Canada needs to end its complicity, NOW 👇

“That’s Just War” — No, It’s Not. And Canada Is Complicit.
Let’s be clear: what is happening in Gaza is not “just war.” It is a systematic assault on an entire civilian population. It is genocide in real time.

On Christmas Eve when Trump talked about taking over Greenland, the Panama Canal & even Canada, I took him seriously & wrote about it. He was back at it today. joycevance.substack.com/p/christmas-...
Christmas Eve Crazy
Happy Christmas Eve, and here’s your reminder that it’s not normal for an American president to talk about taking over territory that belongs to our allies.
