BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. WE ARE INVESTING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN THIS AND FIRING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF REAL HUMAN PEOPLE FOR THIS

When you click the "beautify slide" AI feature in Google Slides. NOT A JOKE

The US blockade on oil shipments to Cuba is collective punishment; creating a full-blown humanitarian collapse. Healthcare, food systems, electricity, and public services are deteriorating rapidly and simultaneously. It’s the elderly and children suffering. www.thenewhumanitarian.org/news-feature...

Gonna remind everyone of this @susanrinkunas.com @autonomynews.co piece now. The Trump admin is delaying further abortion pill restrictions for strategic reasons, but there’s no reason to believe it has ruled them out:

Public Service Announcement: When the price of gasoline jumps this week, remember it was refined from oil (mostly Canadian) produced weeks ago, only 2% of which comes from the Middle East. It's a policy choice, not 'market forces', that explains why you'll pay more (and oil profits will soar). /2

And our opposition leader will blame our Prime Minister. Aggressively. Possibly with a smirk.

Nice job, everyone. I think that’s a wrap.

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

Hello! I am a trans journalist looking to speak with trans kids and parents of trans kids across the US who have been impacted by the clinic closures---please get in touch or share!

@markjacob.bsky.social on the role media plays in not just telling the story but explaining it, too. "The rule of law needs to be explained to the public. People don’t have the Constitution memorized. Journalists need to explain that the Trump regime is repeatedly violating the law."

here too, the reader walks away with no impression that the deal is about cementing right wing information control, or that federal regulators no longer function (literally whatsoever!) due to corruption

I'd like you to observe the press pantomime that this is a normal media deal in a country with functioning regulators

NEW: Who's counting anyway? A series of tracking measures that were once regularly updated and relatively easy to access are disappearing in Ontario. Government denies it's deliberate, critics say it makes it harder to hold to account. #OnPoli globalnews.ca/news/1171077...

@pghguyinva.bsky.social I know you’re not on here but I’m still tagging you on this

There’s a pretty robust case to make that the Iran Hostage crisis of 1979, the revolution itself, and the policies of the Iranian government towards the US since, was all blowback from the CIA’s decision to overthrow Mossadegh in 1953. www.cnn.com/2013/08/19/p...

the incentives here are so obscenely terrible that the entire thing should be illegal by default “I am sabotaging negotiations because I stand to make piles of money on Polymarket” is absolutely in play, what a horrifying clusterfuck

having written about how banning web scrapers from a code forge i host made it usable again and saved ~60€/y in power bill, let me tell you: you cannot fathom the offloaded cost of GenAI on small web hosts. it is a veritable distributed denial of service to the entire web. Every web admin sees it.

This is why whistleblower protections and protections for the press to publish national security information are vital to democracy.

lmao

These accounts bet millions on an attack occurring within a window of only hours. They are profiteering off of their own war crimes.

This article is a simple summary of the alternatives to US owned Tech. I’m only ~30% through swapping but working at it, b/c the recent authoritarian fuckery, CEO sycophancy/derangement, & naked greed makes using US Companies unsafe. The one thing that we can do to truly punish them is… leave.

Delighted to be launching a book today about the amazing retail experience at the airport.

OFFS. When Iran tried to interefere in 2020, researchers caught them and called them out. Then the Benz-Weiss-Taibbi-Musk-Jordan-Trump axis labeled those researchers "censors" ... and set about defunding them and dismantling their organizations.

How hard is it to build a bar at the Pentagon?

What was I saying about good faith negotiations? bsky.app/profile/newn...

No doubt Tulsi Gabbard is drafting her resignation letter as we speak.

This is going to be an early challenge for the Board of Peace to deal with.

Iran signed the 2015 JCPOA treaty, promising never to build nuclear weapons. Trump withdrew from that treaty in 2018.

BREAKING: Adolescent teenage boys have taken over the Pentagon.

Anyone check the Doomsday Clock? Is it still under warranty?

Chat, is it bad when one tech dude having a modicum of a conscience is the only thing hindering the plans of the worst people in the world to use hallucinatory robots to automate crimes against humanity?

NHC released #Hurricane #MELISSA report. It's now enshrined at top of Atlantic hurricane history: * Peak intensity increased to 165 knots, tying for strongest 'cane. * Landfall intensity in #Jamaica kept at 160 knots, tying for strongest landfall. I'm proud to have contributed to this postanalysis.

There you go. An overt technofascist Trump ally will now own CBS, CNN, HBO, Paramount, Warner Brothers, Discovery, and a big chunk of TikTok

"The 45-second film, made around 1897, was the first appearance on film of what might be called a robot" HELL. YES.

I cannot read anything about Hegseth and “masculine values” without thinking about this: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture. Understood instantly what it meant.

Oh, I’m sure someone knows what happened to the money

ICE is struggling to keep pace with vetting new hires during its historic recruitment push, so it's hiring officers before completing standard checks. The agency fired five people after belatedly finding that they had outstanding warrants for their arrest. www.reuters.com/world/ice-st...

CIBC was the only one of the Big 5 banks not to mandate its non-frontline employees back to the office 4 days per week before first quarter this past autumn. And many of the staff have been in office only 1-day per week since RTO in 2023. Clearly this is doing CIBC's results great harm. 🙄

In the past, the U.S. military drew up secret plans for a false-flag attack in Cuban waters to justify a U.S. military intervention theintercept.com/2026/02/25/c...

“Uhhh is Cuba telling the truth or Marco Rubio I can’t tell” You should probably redacted yourself in the head
