Elon Musk casually, and illegally, dismantled USAID. According to a new study in the Lancet, that action will lead to *14 million* premature deaths between 2025 and 2030.

Again: Elon Musk is directly responsible for 14 million coming deaths. 4.5 million will be children.

"Masculine Energy"
Panel 1: Mark Zuckerberg stands on the stage at a Meta all-hands meeting, wearing a little chain and a shirt that says "Cool Dude." "I think our company could use more Masculine Energy," he says into a mic. In the crowd, an employee raises their hand. "Excuse me, Mr. Zuckerberg," the person asks. Panel 2: The person stands up, asking, "By "Masculine Energy," do you mean a mature definition where men in power use their relative strength to protect and uplift those less privileged?" Panel 3: The person continues, "…or a more childish definition where men in power are free to be aggressive and harm others without being held accountable?" Panel 4: Zuck stands silent for a beat. Panel 5: "You're all fired," he says.

This Irishing of a road sign outside Galway is a cut above the usual defacement #SpéirGorm #SpeirGorm
Photo taken from a car (I was a passenger). The main road curves left and quickly out of sight behind a bushy wall. Immediately on the left, before the curve, is a narrow local road perpendicular to the main road. At the junction is a red octagonal road sign that says "STOP". Someone has painted two letters above the word, in the same white sans-serif capitals, so that the sign now reads "AH STOP".
