Loathe thy neighbor: Elon Musk and the Christian right are waging war on empathy

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 8 April

Trump’s actions are irreconcilable with Christian compassion. But an unholy alliance seeks to cast empathy as a parasitic plague

Just over an hour into Elon Musk ’s last appearance on Joe Rogan ’s podcast, the billionaire brought up the latest existential threat to trouble him.

“We’ve got civilizational suicidal empathy going on,” Musk said. “And it’s like, I believe in empathy. Like, I think you should care about other people, but you need to have empathy for civilization as a whole and not commit to a civilizational suicide.”

Arthur Wallace had edited a supplement for the Guardian to accompany a civic week organised by Manchester city council in October 1926, and featured three paintings by the then struggling artist.

‘WH Smith wasn’t just a workplace’: ex-staff and shoppers on the high street chain

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 8 April

With the brand to disappear from town and city streets, readers share their memories of how it touched their lives

After 233 years, the household name of WH Smith will soon disappear from high streets and the stores will be rebranded under the fictitious “family” brand name TGJones.

The high street business, which employs 5,000 staff, will sell its 480 high street stores to the Hobbycraft owner, Modella Capital, but will retain its brand for travel shops in airports, railway stations and hospitals.

Nigel Slater’s recipe for mango blueberry fool

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 8 April

A soothing treat to start the day – or finish supper with. Just be sure to use perfectly ripe mangoes

Blueberries actually have a pinch of acidity that helps lift this rather mild and soothing puréed mango.

I like to use a thick, strained Greek-style yoghurt here, and only partially mix it into the purée to leave some attractive swirls of it marbled through the fool.

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 8 April

Pete Hildebrand says health secretary ‘never said anything’ about vaccine’s efficacy when he visited for funeral

A Texas man who buried his eight-year-old daughter on Sunday after the unvaccinated child died with measles says Robert F Kennedy Jr “never said anything” about the vaccine against the illness or its proven efficacy while visiting the girl’s family and community for her funeral.

“He did not say that the vaccine was effective,” Pete Hildebrand, the father of Daisy Hildebrand, said in reference to Kennedy during a brief interview on Monday. “I had supper with the guy … and he never said anything about that.”

EU sanctions policy ‘failed’ to make impact on Russia, says Hungarian minister – Europe live

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 8 April

Péter Szijjártó, Hungary’s foreign minister, claims sanctions ‘hit European economy more than Russian economy’

Péter Szijjártó , a frequent visitor to Moscow despite the continuing Russian aggression against Ukraine, also told Bloomberg that the EU’s sanctions policy “has failed” as he claimed it “hit European economy more than the Russian economy”.

He said that Hungary’s view on rolling over the existing sanctions will “depend a lot on … the geopolitical circumstances”, with Budapest closely following the progress of Trump-led talks with Russia.

Memo to Timothée Chalamet: instead of total-immersion ping pong, maybe take the year off | Stuart Heritage

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 8 April • 1 minute

After years-long Bob Dylan training helped push his awards cred, the actor has done months of heavy table tennis drill for Marty Supreme. He may be missing the point

Not winning an Oscar can do funny things to people. Look at Leonardo DiCaprio. He tried harder and harder with every successive loss until he eventually made The Revenant, the movie equivalent of getting punched in the face for likes on TikTok. Same with Lady Gaga, who reacted to losing for A Star Is Born by going so method for House of Gucci that she essentially lived as a Dolmio puppet for nine months.

And so we come to Timothée Chalamet. Now, on paper Chalamet doesn’t need to worry about winning an Oscar, because he played the lead in two films that were nominated for best picture. That’s a huge achievement, especially when you consider that those films – Dune: Part Two and A Complete Unknown – each appealed to wildly different audiences. Before that he made Wonka, which proved his chops in another field. Chalamet appeals to kids, sci-fi fans and people’s dads. He just needs to be announced as lead in a Bridget Jones reboot and he’ll have all four quadrants locked up forever. My point is that Chalamet doesn’t need an Oscar. He has already transcended awards.
