What we are witnessing may be the first full-scale artificial-intelligence war in history. The clearest expression yet of how the most powerful technologies of the twenty-first century are being folded into the machinery of violence.

Outstanding summary thread on the most important matter in UK politics. Unresolved, there is no UK politics. Big Media is downplaying this. We have to establish why.

In our latest newsletter, we recommend @billyperrigo.bsky.social’s feature on Meta’s former PR hatchet man turned whistleblower turned… anti-big tech leader? Plus: what to watch and do this week 👇 citizensreunited.substack.com/p/i-can-chan...

If foreign influence touched the most consequential democratic decision in modern British history, then the public is entitled to know the full truth. Not fragments and assurances. The full truth.
