A maternity ward doctor donated his own blood during surgery to keep a pregnant patient alive. One woman gained fewer than 10 pounds over her entire pregnancy. Another collapsed and had seizures during labor.

Competition for Tucker Carlson and Tim Pool.

So let’s get this straight: Trump’s DOJ buried Epstein’s crimes but kept flight logs on Julie K. Brown, the reporter who exposed them. Her 2019 American Airlines booking shows up in the files. That’s not a data glitch or an oversight.

NEW from me — I broke down Trump's claim on local right wing radio that the US carried out a Christmas Eve land strike in Venezuela, how he doubled down Monday, the subsequent media reports with no substance, the potential role of social media rumors about an actual fire, and how we need the truth:

What happened to the execs who ruined lives during the Post Office scandal? Fujitsu execs, accountants, lawyers also made millions from the scandal. All living in comfort. None fined, prosecuted. Even when that happens, litigation will last for years. The UK legal system doesn't deliver justice.

Peter Thiel’s Christmas party had an odd theme this year: “all things Britain.” (per NYT) As Trump sunsets and backlash builds, expect a focus shift to the UK—where some see brighter possibilities for fascism,network states, and monarchies.

This would be a big mistake, because the kinds of people joining such a vigilante group is not kind you want with the power of guns in their hands. It’s also an admission that the authorities are incapable of protecting citizens.

These guys were run off the road by armed cops, had their photos splashed across the internet with accusations of a follow up attack and were on holiday doing absolutely nothing.

Typical FTSE 100 CEO collects average UK wage in TWO days. CEO collects 141 times average employee's earnings. Some collect 1,110 times more. No link between CEO pay and performance - look at water, energy, banking, gambling sectors? Govts preach pay restraint to workers. No curbs on exec pay.

“The decision to bring charges against President Trump was mine, but the basis for those charges rests entirely with President Trump and his actions ... I would do so regardless of whether the President was a Republican or Democrat." trib.al/2SjC4D5

The first time a person lies to us, we are surprised, shocked, outraged. But When the same person lies to us, or we hear the same lie again, our initial flash of moral judgement fades, and our reactions weaken. youtube.com/watch?v=Q9b7...

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats. It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re getting the shaft. Know the truth.

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

It looks like the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT was accidentally released in Canada. It'll be really interesting to compare this to whatever version Weiss might eventually release.

When they came to be questioned, the only officers available were from the child protection squad – & the irony of child protection officers questioning activists over the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein because all the regular police were busy protecting was striking. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

In July Helsinki, Finland (pop 690,000) marked an entire yr w/o a single traffic death. This was achieved thru lower speed limits, improved street design & adding pedestrian & cycling infrastructure. More than half the streets have a speed limit of 30km/h & roads hv been narrowed with trees
