Trump literally gets on truthzonesocial.net and threatens to kill people and nothing happens to him because he's rich and white (and an ex-president) lmfao

I guess it's time for more fearmongering and more money for the American MIC! One of the worst things liberal media has done in the last decade is give this war hungry psychopath a voice because he said Trump bad. He even made his book title a Hamilton reference, played libs like a fiddle.

Bonus: Bolton is very serious about Havana syndrome, and suggests it was actually the Russians all along

There's a war out there...a war on humans being waged by aquatic wildlife. Who's side are you on?

Actor Mark Margolis died on Thursday at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City following a short illness, according to a statement from his son, Morgan Margolis. He was 83 years old.

Margolis had a breakout role as a mobster in the 1983 film "Scarface."

However, he was perhaps best known for his portrayal of "Hector Salamanca," on the series "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul."

Salamanca was a ruthless, elderly gang leader who could not speak or walk, and communicated via menacing facial expressions and by ringing a bell attached to his wheelchair.

In 2012, Margolis was nominated for an Emmy for outstanding guest actor for his role as Salamanca.

Breaking Bad co-star Brian Cranston shared his condolences on Instagram, calling Margolis, "fun and engaging off the set ... and intimidating and frightening on set."

"His quiet energy belied his mischievous nature and curious mind," Cranston wrote.

Peter Gould, a writer and producer of Breaking Bad, said Margolis was "brilliant, funny, a raconteur with a million stories."

Margolis was born in the east coast US city of Philadelphia in 1939.

He studied acting in New York City with noted teacher Stella Adler, and focused on the stage in his early career.

Margolis appeared in dozens of shows both on and off-Broadway, including at the Public Theater in New York.

His roles on the big screen include around 70 movies, most recently Matthew Coppola's 2022 film "Broken Soldier" with Sophie Turner and the late Ray Liotta.

He also appeared in several critically acclaimed films by director Darren Aronofsky, including "Pi" and "Requiem for a Dream."

Margolis is survived by his wife of 61 years, Jacqueline Margolis, and his son Morgan. The family plans to have a private memorial and funeral.

Nice to see more empirical backing of the Bullshit Jobs theory

The research found that people working in finance, sales and managerial roles are much more likely than others on average to think their jobs are useless or unhelpful to others.

The study, by Simon Walo, of Zurich University, Switzerland, is the first to give quantitative support to a theory put forward by the American anthropologist David Graeber in 2018 that many jobs were "bullshit"—socially useless and meaningless.

The announcement comes after federal charges were filed against the former law enforcement officers, who “called themselves ‘The Goon Squad’ because of their willingness to use excessive force and not to report it,” according to a federal charging document.

Gee I sure do wonder why people hate the cops, especially black folks.

It's a NYT article. Headline and subheader...

For an Ailing Feinstein, a Fight Over the Family Fortune

As Dianne Feinstein, 90, struggles to function in the Senate, a dispute within her family over control of her late husband’s estate is another difficult chapter at the end of a long career.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Wednesday that he and his wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, are separating.

The prime minister and his wife said in a joint statement posted to their official Instagram accounts that they had "many meaningful and difficult conversations" prior to their decision.

"As always, we remain a close family with deep love and respect for each other for everything we have built and will continue to build," he wrote.

BALTIMORE (AP) — More than 70 years after doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital took Henrietta Lacks’ cervical cells without her knowledge, a lawyer for her descendants said they have reached a settlement with a biotechnology company that they accused of reaping billions of dollars from a racist medical system.

Tissue taken from the Black woman’s tumor before she died of cervical cancer became the first human cells to continuously grow and reproduce in lab dishes. HeLa cells went on to become a cornerstone of modern medicine, enabling countless scientific and medical innovations, including the development of the polio vaccine, genetic mapping and even COVID-19 vaccines.

Despite that incalculable impact, the Lacks family had never been compensated. Lacks’ cells were harvested in 1951, when it was not illegal to do so without a patient’s permission. But lawyers for her family argued that Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., of Waltham, Massachusetts, continued to commercialize the results long after the origins of the HeLa cell line became well known. The company unjustly enriched itself off Lacks’ cells, the family argued in their lawsuit, filed in 2021.
