NEW YORK, NY — Balenciaga is facing a wave of online criticism after a MyPillow pillow was spotted in the background of one of the company’s photo shoots for its winter collection. The CEO of MyPillow Mike Lindell is known for his strong support of Donald Trump.
“I was shocked and appalled when I noticed the MyPillow in the background of the photo shoot featuring underage kids holding teddy bears dressed in bondage gear,” said long-time Balenciaga promoter Kim Kardashian. “Mike Lindell has dangerous views, and I’m horrified that Balenciaga would choose to feature his incredibly comfortable pillow in their ads.” Kardashian then tweeted a video of herself burning her vast Balenciaga collection and urged others to do the same, using the hashtag “#BurnBalenciBurn.”
Nov. 30—China’s Science and Technology Daily reported Nov. 28 on the status of the Comprehensive Research Facility for Fusion Technology (CRAFT) being built at the Hefei University of Science and Technology. China, the report makes clear, is serious about meeting its goal of generating continuous fusion energy by 2028, for use in a hybrid fission-fusion power plant, and generating fusion energy directly for the electric grid by 2035. Materials and technologies needed to control fusion reactions are already being tested at CRAFT, a giant complex which will be fully completed by 2024, as part of the broader fusion project based out of the university, which is home to the superconducting EAST, or Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute for Plasma Physics.

Much of the talk recently among the “conservative chattering class” has been about how the “movement” must somehow “move on” from Donald Trump (without overly alienating his base) and take a serious look at alternatives, most notably Governor Ron DiSantis of Florida, with lesser—and far less distinguished—papabile such as the incredibly ambitious Nikki Haley, Mike Pompeo, and even the discredited buffoon Chris Christie of New Jersey, in tow.
