Wasn't that obscure, the song had heavy rotation on MTV back in the day.

In mathematical terms it's perfectly acceptable to talk about the limit of an expression as some value tends towards infinity. E.g.:

limit (1/x)  = 0
x→∞

Relativity only applies to local reference frames and not to the recession rates of cosmologically distant objects.

I can't find any reference that says it's moving away from us at twice the speed of light, which would violate Relativity. The fact that it is further away from us in light years than the age of the universe in years, is due to the fact that the space itself is expanding.

It doesn't take much research to find out she was against wearing masks during COVID, she's pro-Brexit, and she's a climate change denialist.

In short she's a reactionary fuckwit, who should be ignored.

Does the world have a government or did the headline perhaps forget to mention that it's referring to one particular country...?

Yep, using it as a literal test seems to miss the point, namely that there is a significant %age of films and TV that fail to meet even that low a bar.

In Trump's dyspeptic liver of a brain "irrefutable" simply means bigly.

Medicine is any substance that has a demonstrable healthcare effect (demonstrated through double blind tests and not some rando's anecdote). That includes natural substances.

To put it another way, medicine and natural substances are not two mutually exclusive (i.e. disjoint) sets, as you and/or your doctor friend appear to be implying.
