british people reacting to american pharmaceutical ads during the harry/meghan interview
you get the idea, imagine if they saw how awkward it is for the CEO of GoFundMe to inadvertently run America’s substitute for a national healthcare service time.com/5516037/gofund…
ps Americans it’s weird to them bc in the UK it’s illegal to advertise prescription drugs to the general public. Over there, people seeking healthcare are considered patients not customers.

Director at the US State Department Bureau of Political Military Affairs, which oversees US military aid and arms transfers around the world, has just resigned in disagreement of the ongoing “lethal assistance” to Israel, his statement is here: linkedin.com/posts/josh-pau…
his job was to arm people around the world for US state interests, even he said “enough”, a member of the state department! of America! Palestinians have been so patient and suffered so much for us to reach such unprecedented days
his statement is really a trip because it’s all about the necessity of protecting american interests through weapons sales

insightful, sharply written, broadly relevant and accurately contextualizes both its subject and the culture it emerged from nytimes.com/2022/06/16/mov…
every sentence is an unsparing but fair and thorough dragging, best piece of criticism i’ve read in ages
what i liked best is Manhola Dargis managed to skewer that entire genre of uninspired american indie films while reviewing this latest one, covers every reason i can’t stand those insipid little vanity projects.

smokey eye makeup is coming back, minus the heavy beat. fresh faced + smudgey, more dimensional (shimmery, satiny, glittery, and matte finishes equally relevant) + colorful (think beyond brown/black…blue smokey, pink smokey) than the last time it trended. bold, not muddy.

if you understand why “all lives matter” is an ignorant position endorsing violence then you should be able to understand why calling an occupation a conflict is an ignorant position endorsing violence
a very specific subtweet directed at all the people who claim to have progressive politics but defend Israel
anyone that’s trying to tell you “but what about hamas” ask them to cite some numbers. not generic claims of “hamas” and how “israelis are in danger too” but actual facts and figures
