There's a lot to unpack here. But the "why do people in the developed world die from chronic diseases at higher rates than in poorer countries" is because we survive long enough to die from chronic rather than infectious disease. This is epidemiology 101. It's not a mystery.

If you're up early, as I obviously am, the Cleveland episode from 2007 is on the Anthony Bourdain streaming channel. It's a weird & fun episode. Tony visits in Feb, the worst time of year. Harvey Pekar joins him, who is a horrible tour guide, since he never left his neighborhood. It starts at 7 am.

Greta Thunberg and the Madleen offered a heart in a heartless world. They reminded us that Israel is deliberately starving an entire people - and the West could stop that at any moment. New column 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is the thing- Nick saying that he, a cis man, and Joanne, a cis woman, can disagree over trans rights is just evidence that he sees trans rights as a harmless difference of opinion cis people have. We're not included in the framing, in his telling. We're not people who need to be listened to.

Consistent at least: if you are an annoying whiner, why don’t you just go away, resign, leave us alone or die? It’s always “Oooh, you’ve cut off my disability payments, I’m starving, I don’t want to get suffocated in a burning high rise, please stop facilitating genocide”. Student politics nonsense.

for people who are never going to play a game but are interested to understand a bit about what games culture is like, I can highly recommend the film Grand Theft Hamlet, about two out-of-work actors during the lockdowns trying to stage a production of Hamlet inside the game Grand Theft Auto

I've got close to 16,000 followers on here. Can anyone show me one single video of any protestor shooting sponge grenades at the LAPD? The LAPD have a million cameras there. Don't tell me it wasn't filmed if it happened. Because you know who actually fired those.

I'm going to add to the "woke" discourse & say I don't even perceive reactionaries calling me it a compliment any more as they've rendered it meaningless. From them, it means everything that mildly startles them, therefore nothing. It means railways, brie sandwiches, recycling bins.

this is all deeply terrifying but it’s important not to lose sight of the fact that these people are lazy, incompetent dipshits who are doing a piss-poor job they haven’t won yet and we can send them home in embarrassing failure

A remarkably similar dynamic to the Labour Party; take one traditionally loyal constituency for granted, on basis they have nowhere else to go, in order to pursue people who mostly never liked you in the first place in the belief that they are somehow more authentic and important.

When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left? All the shifts are in just one direction. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

The Millarworld board lead to some pretty lasting friendships. Hell, I had a grand old time meeting & drinking with Millar at Wizard World Chicago 2009. Millar has betrayed every stated principle he ever held since that time, associates with gawdawful people, sold his soul to Netflix and for what?
