This seems too bizarre to be true, but it is. He was an Air Force radio operator stationed in Germany. He told me and my siblings about it many times over our lives.

70 years ago today, Stalin died. The first American to learn of his death was Johnny Cash: faroutmagazine.co.uk/johnny-cash-fi At least, that's what I want to believe.

Here’s what I do know, as a guild member for the past 27 years: The norms and practices that allowed me to earn a living, sustain a career, and provide for a family have been stripped away recently, under the guise of “it’s a new world.” Mini-rooms, short orders…

Canada's capital city of Ottawa is home to the world's largest natural ice skating rink. It's been open every winter since 1971. But due to unusually warm weather, it still hasn't opened this year. The city's staff said this might be the first winter it doesn't open at all.

Greta Thunberg owned Andrew Tate so fucking hard he got so angry that he made a rebuttal video that doxxed himself and got himself arrested by Romanian authorities for sex trafficking. I didn't even know that was a possible scenario.

Romanian authorities needed proof that Andrew Tate was in the country so they reportedly used his social media posts. His ridiculous video yesterday featured a pizza from a Romanian pizza chain, Jerry's Pizza, confirming he was in the country. This is absolutely epic.

when billionaires like Jeff Bezos say they are going to "give away all their money to charity", it's a lie. What they mean is they will give the money to their own foundations, evade taxes, and keep control over it so as to retain power. Economist Thomas Piketty explains:
