Gynecology has a pain problem.
In my latest for @Truthdig, I look at the doctors and inventors challenging the Civil War-era instrument that has caused women pain for over 135 years, and — finally — designing gynecological tools with women in mind.

In my article published on Truthdig, an expert points out that the stability of the DRC depends above all on its ability to defend itself, invest in young people, strengthen institutions and ensure that minerals benefit the country first and foremost.

What is it about our present moment that has made pro-extinctionism so damn appealing? From the "Efilists" to the TESCREALists, VHEMT to e/acc, more and more people agree that Homo sapiens should soon expire. I wrote an article about this. A short 🧵:

I note that there are two factions within the MAGA movement: traditionalists like Steve Bannon and transhumanists like Elon Musk. The first are Christians, and the second embrace a new religion called "transhumanism" (the "T" in "TESCREAL").

“If God manifested himself as a human in the form of Jesus Christ, then why not as a posthuman in the form of superintelligent AI?”
It's happening: Christianity and TESCREALism are merging in the MAGA movement -- or so I argue in my new article for @Truthdig. A 🧵on this👇

As I write in my newest article (linked below), some scholars refer to evangelical Christian Zionists as the "Armageddon Lobby." But there's a new Armageddon Lobby that's taken hold in Silicon Valley. These people embrace what Rushkoff calls The Mindset.

Silicon Valley is run by people who genuinely think the world as we know it is going to end in the next few decades. Many also WANT this to happen: they WANT the biological world to be replaced by a new digital world. They WANT "posthumans" to take the place of humans. A 🧵:

Only 18 days until Nov 5, and still no media profiles of the Dangerous Quartet of Trump advisers. He's stumbling, but the Far Right Foursome isn't: Homan, Patel, O'Brien and Miller. My recent article @truthdig. @KatrinaNation @DeanBaker13 @protecttruth_ truthdig.com/articles/the-tr…

Last year, a record $5.3 billion in US corn flowed into #Mexico. Mexico is certainly right to ask why its public health measures on #GMOs are being challenged as a trade restriction. @victor_suarez @meganjanetsky @Enroluque @CassLGarrison @_SemillasdeVida

In "Rumours," theatre of the absurd clashes with the cinema of high fantasy in a biting, hilarious G7 satire that practically lifts scenes from Middle Earth. #NYFF62 truthdig.com/articles/the-fe…
