However, many condemned Kardashian’s rapid weight loss as unhealthy and raised concern about the impact it will have on her enormous following.
kim k losing 16 pounds in 3 weeks to fit into her met gala dress (for literally 10 minutes,,) is the unnecessary diet culture-y bullshit of my nightmares

losing 16 lbs in three weeks isn’t commitment to fashion; it’s disordered eating

this take is gross, stop sensationalizing eating disorders and starve diets. losing 16 lbs in 3 weeks is not a healthy message for women or young girls, and to top it off the assignment was the gilded age. y’all are killing me.

Other individuals labelled Kardashian’s choice to wear Monroe’s dress as disrespectful.
Kim K wearing Marilyn Monroe’s dress is so disrespectful and disgusting why can’t they let that poor woman rest in peace

Yep. The magic of MM was that she was confident in her body;she had sex appeal & was adored even tho she wasn’t the standard ‘size 0’, had lovely lady lumps. Seeing Kim K wear it, w. her fake ass & boobs, cheapens the magic of Marilyn’s legacy as a woman & the dress itself. https://t.co/mQr5XXJLPN

Kardashian also faced reproval for misrepresenting the year’s ‘Gilded Glamour’ theme.
I’d love to tweet about how Kim k’s lack of period appropriate undergarments made that $5M dress look like forever 21 but instead I’m spiraling about the fact that roe v wade is being overturned and millions of Americans are going to be forced to give birth to unwanted fetuses!!

Trump orders Pentagon to resume nuclear testing immediately
Trump orders Pentagon to resume nuclear testing, raising concerns over arms race and global safety
Trump orders Pentagon to resume nuclear testing, raising concerns over arms race and global safety
– Trump ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear testing, risking global tensions and retaliation from other nations.
– Proliferation concerns are rising as nuclear states modernise arsenals and the New START Treaty nears expiration.
The potential for worldwide radioactive fallout remains high, even for underground tests. The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, signed by 187 states, prohibits such testing, yet the US remains a signatory without ratification, bound not to violate the treaty’s intent.
Nuclear weapon testing, once crucial for understanding weapon effects and military planning, has diminished. Since World War II, nuclear tests have largely focused on developing new designs. Significant environmental and health concerns led to a moratorium on atmospheric testing in the early 1960s and the Partial Test Ban Treaty in 1963.
Many countries, including the US, stopped explosive testing in the 1990s. Technological advancements allowed nations to develop nuclear weapons without the need for actual explosions.
Proliferation Risks
Nuclear proliferation continues, with all nine nuclear-armed states investing heavily in modernising their arsenals. This raises concerns about lowered thresholds for using such weapons.
Recent conflicts involving nuclear threats have escalated, and the number of nuclear weapons operationally available has begun to rise again. Russia has tested advanced nuclear weapons, while China is rapidly expanding its military capabilities.
The New START Treaty, which confines the nuclear capabilities of the US and Russia, is set to expire soon, with no successor treaty negotiations underway.
The Doomsday Clock has moved closer to midnight this year, highlighting the heightened dangers facing the world today.
