I learned a new term earlier today: "surge prices". I mean, wtf?! Every amusement park (or whatever) which has "surge prices" should be fucking boycotted by the consumers. Eat cake, mothafuckas! Then, pass the necessary legislation...

The vaxx dilemma
Libertarian gadfly Richard Hanania´s pro-vaxx article was published in August 2023.
He recently started promoting it again on X, probably due to reports that more Americans than usual get hospitalized or die of the flue due to vaccine-hesitancy. Also, less children are getting inoculated against measles. Some people have started to fear measle epidemics. And no, Hanania doesn´t like a certain RFK Jr. Interestingly, on X he accuses the new head of the HHS of being a stooge for agri-business!
I´m not a great fanboy of Hanania, who often comes across as something of a troll. Thus, he claims to be a Palestinian while supporting the Israeli far-right?! Still, an interesting contribution. Make of this content what you wish.
Mums-mums
Reagerade också på Måns Zelmerlöws låt. Fast Jonna Simmas kommentarer (nedan) är nästan lika korkade som vanligt...
"En ny sol reser sig över Europa". Eh? Om Zelmerlöw segrar kommer ESC 2026 alltså arrangeras i Sverige. Och det går som bekant väldigt bra för Sverige just nu, eller hur?
The science of reality
It seems everyone in the world is impacted by climate change...
Perfectly legit

| - Yes, Russian LNG. A thriving bizniz! |
The headline is borderline fake news, since "financial" aid isn´t the same thing as military or humanitarian aid, something the article admits in the fine print. So presumably the EU does *not* spend more on Russian fossil fuels than on aid to Ukraine (the article never specifies the total figure for aid to the embattled country).
That being said, it *is* interesting that the EU still buys Russian oil and gas. That raises a lot of questions...and raised eyebrows. In the beginning of the conflict, the EU declared that the Russian oil and gas would be replaced by LNG (liquefied natural gas). And guess what? It has...with *Russian* LNG, to be exact. Last year, Russia was the second exporter of LNG to the European Union?!
Small wonder Moscow is laughing at us. So the tough guys in the EU bureaucracy replaced Russian fossil fuels with...other Russian fossil fuels. How long before a brave investigative reporter starts asking awkward questions about, say, price-fixing or license-fixing?
Or are we supposed to believe that this is all perfectly legit?

It´s a crazy, crazy, crazy world
