RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

Congrats to friend of the mag László Krasznahorkai for winning the Nobel Prize in Literature -- a well deserved award for someone whom real heads have known for years as a master of neo-modernism.

@jakeromm.bsky.social wrote about him for us in 2023.
