About an hour ago, Tucker Carlson posted a new short clip to Twitter. He announced that he’s going to start doing a version of the same broadcast he has been doing for the past six years on Fox, on Twitter. This. Is. Astonishing. If Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson pull this off, they will revolutionize the news media, and change the country. I’m totally pu… ncG1vNJzZmiqn5mxs7HHnqlnq6WXwLWtwqRlnKedZL1wwNScop6qXZy8pr%2BMraZmrKeewbWx0Q%3D%3D

Most of my writing career has focused on conflict, terrorism, and collapse. There’s more of all that than ever going on, yet instead of writing about fascist violence or the encircling authoritarian billionaire class, I’m here today to tell you about Tucker. No, not Tucker Carlson. This Tucker is a TV show from way back in the year 2000. It was produced by NBC, and aired on that network in the U.

Nam sure makes a lot of faces! Looks like he changed his podium signature as well as his outfit. Tonight, he’s wearing a black dress shirt with a dark brown jacket. I like this combo and it’s pretty unique! Lianne seems like the coolest piano teacher! I love her bright pink shirt and zip jacket. She also added a necklace and multiple earrings. I like Mark’s tiny-polka-dot shirt under this grey sweater!

Tuấn Anh is a legendary icon when it comes to Vietnamese music. As a generalization for a culture that is historically conservative, its great that Tuấn Anh was able to push the envelope with the gender bending persona and be mostly accepted amongst older and younger alike. This tee pays tribute to Tuấn Anh and Vietnamese music. Digitally printed on imported “250G New Wave” garment dyed blanks. Now available on THEWWW.

It seems there is no disease that Covid-19 vaccines haven’t been accused of causing. The latest stemmed from news of the Princess of Wales announcing her cancer diagnosis. This has renewed the circulation of the rumor that Covid-19 vaccines are causing “turbo cancer.” Where did this rumor come from? Is there a kernel of truth? What does the data show about cancer rates before and during the pandemic? This rumor isn’t new; it just keeps getting repurposed.

A few years ago, I made the joke that America is so religious that even our atheists believe in God. At the time, I was commenting on the discrepancy between religious identity and belief. Surveys consistently find that a small but significant number of atheists report that they believe in God.   Early work documenting the beginning of America’s religiou… ncG1vNJzZmirpKS%2FurjIp5ysZqOqr7TAwJyiZ5ufonyxe9Ouqaehnpx6orPAoqWsrF2kv6itzaKxnpxdp7Kttcaipqc%3D

Sometimes, I read a book and can’t wait to see how it will be adapted into a film. And sometimes, I read a book and am terrified at the idea of it being adapted into a film. Turtles All the Way Down by John Green was definitely a case of the latter. Could a book about OCD be adapted into a film that treated it with some sense of dignity and respect?
