Did I witness a miracle?
Late last month I came across an elderly man in an alley who was in serious distress. He’d been collapsed on the ground in the middle of a thunder storm for at least an hour and no one was coming to help him. The only reason I was there was because my cat lost his collar in a tussle with another cat and I decided to go looking for it. This is a video about the strange synchronicities in life that resist rational explanations.

Did Only Fans Eclipse the American Dream?
For close to 100 years if you were young and beautiful and talented the American Dream had a specific shape. You went to Los Angeles. You waited tables. You sent headshots. You hoped — you prayed — that someone powerful noticed you. A producer. An agent. A studio executive. In the darkest iterations it was someone like Harvey Weinstein: the man with a casting couch and a contract. Access to this dream depended on someone deciding whether you were worth making famous. It’s no secret here’s Carrie Fischer at George Lucas’s tribute in a joke about something that was all too re...

Why "Christians" Hate Dan McClellan
At some point you’ve probably heard someone say “the Bible clearly states” followed by. . . well, just about anything. Does God hate gays or love them? Is Jesus the prince of peace [Isiah 9:6], or does he come to bring the sword [Matthew 10:34]? Whatever your political or religious persuasion there always seems to be a passage to back it up. But what does the Bible, REALLY say? Well, to understand that you sort of need to know where the bible comes from.Dan McClellan on YouTube: @maklelan

Wait...are most jobs fake?
In 2013 the anthropologist David Graeber examined one of the strangest contradictions in modern capitalism: despite exponential gains in productivity, people were working even harder that ever. In his landmark essay called “On the Preponderance of Bullshit Jobs” and then a book a few years later, Graeber showed how as much as 37% of all jobs in capitalist societies are, well, bullshit. Or, to use his own words “where even the person doing the job secretly believes the job really shouldn’t exist.(...) But nonetheless, part of the conditions of employment is that you have to pretend that it does.”

Why are the Wellness Elite Getting Sepsis?
Mark Hyman wants you to believe he’s biologically 39 years old. The 66-year-old functional medicine guru and twelve-time New York Times bestselling author has built an empire on the promise that the right combination of supplements, lifestyle changes, and cutting-edge treatments can literally reverse aging. “We can reprogram our genes back to a younger you,” he states in one way or another in countless podcasts. “[At] 63 I could use certain transcription factors and turn my biological clock back to 25. Make my wrinkles go away, my hair turns black, my joints get healthier.”
But earlier this year, Hyman revealed s...

Epstein, Putin, Trump and $60 TRILLION in Dark Money
The Epstein files are a spotlight into the twisted life of the world’s most notorious sex trafficker and the billionaires and oligarchs that took advantage of young women and children. Even the redacted trove of more than 3 million documents by the Department of Justice proves that his ring of abuse went much farther than just to satisfy his sadism, but that the things that went on in his island were vitally connected to a pool of a dark money empire that exists in parallel to the ordinary economy. But what happens when we look beyond the official government re...

Trump's Diabolical Plan to Gut Women's Rights
You’ve heard of Project 2025: the manifesto that has become the de facto guiding light for the second Trump administration. Its twisted Christian-nationalist agenda has brought us a wave of ICE raids across America, tax cuts for billionaire, gutted climate policies and using the FBI to prosecute and harass political opponents. Project 2025 was written by the conservative DC think tank, the Heritage Foundation, which recently released a new vision for women’s role in society called “Saving America by Saving the Family: A Foundation for the Next 250 Years” that aims to severely curtail women’s rights, including the right to divorce...

How to Join the Resistance | A conversation with an Infantryman
When thousands of ICE agents descended on Minneapolis and began kidnapping people off the streets, the residents didn’t just stand by and let it all happen. Ordinary citizens like you and me spontaneously organized on Signal chats and began tracking ICE’s movements through they city. They warned their most vulnerable neighbors with whistles and car alarms and video taped arrests across the city. Friends of mine began delivering food to people too scared to leave their houses and carpooled their children to school. All of this happened in the face of ever-increasing violence from a fascist-anti-democratic state with...
AI's Psychosis Epedemic
As tech companies attempt to deploy artificial intelligence into every possible facet of life–from education, to scheduling your calendar, to responding to emails, answering random questions, decoding DNA and even psycho therapy–we really have no idea how mass adoption of LLMs for basically every task will affect society at large. It’s sort of like we’re running a giant experiment on humanity with no control group and just the hope that immeasurably wealthy tech companies will steward in a brighter future. But we all know that cracks have been showing up in the AI facade. And one of t...
The Problem with Trump’s Brain
The mental health of the American president is critical to the future of the country–and it’s clear to even a casual observer of Donald Trump that his patterns of speech, inability to state the truth on just about any subject, and the apparent joy he gets out of watching other people suffer–indicate that something strange is going on in the way he perceives the world.Psychiatrists are often reluctant to speculate diagnosing someone in the absence of a face-to-face clinical exam. And yet, it appears that Trump has taken several such exams–including brain scans and mental a...

The Strange Story of a Buddhist Penis Cult
The first thing that you will notice when entering into the once-forbidden kingdom of Bhutan are its stunning landscapes. The second thing that will probably catch your eye are the tremendous number of erect phalluses that people paint on their walls. In today’s report, I want to explain why the man responsible for the striking designs might just be the original spiritual grifter. Drukpa Kunley was a former monk who, in the 1400’s, promised more than 1000 women than he would give them the gift of enlightenment just so long as they slept with him.
