4 days ago, NPR reported that the Trump administration is still withholding, in violation of the Epstein files statutes, 37 pages of documents that implicate him in the rape of a child. This should end his presidency. www.npr.org/2026/03/05/n...

In today’s game of Make Millions With Market Manipulation: 1. Energy Secretary posts that a tanker has been safely escorted through Hormuz. 2. Oil price falls 10%, friends buy. 3. Energy Secretary deletes post. 4. Oil price rises 12%, friends richer. Thank you for playing, see you all tomorrow.

Reducing Europe's nuclear energy sector was 'strategic mistake' that increased volatile fossil fuel imports, says EU chief Ursula von der Leyen. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Ukraine 2022: "America, please close the skies" America 2026: "Ukraine, please close the skies"

If Putin facilitates the US-Iran ceasefire, the Norwegian Nobel Committee will have the opportunity to do the funniest thing imaginable.

Jackie Fox is a European heroine. After losing her daughter Nicole to online bullying, she turned her grief into making sure no other family would have to endure the same pain. From that courage came Coco’s Law, making online abuse & sharing of intimate images without consent a criminal offence.

Pope Leo XIV’s Vatican newspaper is the only publication in the Western world to run the photograph of 150 Iranian girls' graves — killed in President Trump's military strikes — on its front page. #illegalwar #trumpmurderschildren

In the chaos in Iran, you might have missed the news that Russia's operational momentum has slowed, even reversed, on the frontlines in Ukraine.

Fantastic stuff from Von der Leyen. "This reduction in the share of nuclear was a choice, I believe that it was a strategic mistake for Europe to turn its back on a reliable, affordable source of low-emissions power."

Today we are presenting a new European strategy for Small Modular Reactors. Our goal is simple. We want this new technology to be operational in Europe by the early 2030s. And to back this we will create a €200M guarantee, to support private investment in innovative nuclear technologies.

The nuclear tech race is on. Europe has everything it needs to lead. We have half a million highly-skilled workers in nuclear. We have the ambition to move at speed and scale. For Europe to be a global hub of next-generation nuclear energy.

Europe needs homegrown, low-carbon energy sources. Nuclear & renewables together have a key role to play. Nuclear energy is available around the clock, providing electricity all year. Europe has been a pioneer in nuclear technology. And can lead again → link.europa.eu/jwqwNv

A study of social media content 18-24-year olds see in #Finland, #France and #Romania shows that algorithms overwhelmingly feed them right-wing political content - whether or not the users are interested. Three country average for right wing content was 58% - in Finland, 67%! yle.fi/a/74-20214134

Heck Bugs Bunny’s carrot is an example of that. It’s a parody of Clark Gable munching on carrots in the movie It Happened One Night; rabbits don’t actually eat carrots.

Trump threatening genocide on Iran

Here's a thread featuring clips of key moments from the DC Metropolitan Police body camera footage of the March 17, 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that I obtained as a result of my FOIA lawsuit:

Q: You said the war is 'very complete.' But your defense secretary says 'this is just the beginning.' So which is it? TRUMP: You could say both

Even by Trump standards of galactic batshittery, that press conference was an all-timer. SUMMARY: - The war is over & just beginning. - We may have sold Tomahawks to our enemy so they could kill their own children. - The new leader of Iran must be eternal & internal - No mutilisashion of children.

Trump: "You daughter, she has to be of age. Like above 6 years old."

Trump: "No transgender mutilizshiation surgery for our children"

My opening offer for how the country should be is 0 people suffering. What is the Democrats’ starting position?

it scares me to think that big tech/big AI's primary target demographic is kids

Trump goes on strike, refuses to do his job

When Catherine Connolly said the US was a volatile imperial power, the people kicking up most fuss weren't the people who didn't believe her. They were the people who know she's right and don't want to piss off the volatile ass we're kissing in the name of foreign direct investment #spéirgorm

Facts matter. Quoting a worst case scenario figure as the estimated cost for a project is incredibly damaging for such a vital project. I'm glad they took my letter though!

Things look grim in the markets right now, but at least the U.S. economy wasn’t already being propped up by a massive speculative AI bubble that is highly sensitive to rising energy costs.

A pink balloon gently blows around traffic stopped at the lights, disappearing underneath my car. On the pavement, a sad little girl is looking around saying "where's my balloon??". Lights change. Bang. Felt like a murderer.

so many people in finance who seem to have only just learned that the middle east is a tad spicy

ELIZA's creator was so alarmed by the fact that people mistook the chatbot for a sentient being that he wrote an entire book about why this implementation of computer technology was a huge problem and it is a staggering achievement

Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.

"Badenoch has ranked MPs based on how well they are performing on X..."

Complex explanations of Trump have been proposed, but it's really quite simple. The Trump Doctrine goes as follows: "Not one stone will be left on another". He's going soon, and he's taking it all with him.

Fears and could are strange word choices.

The Iranian Red Crescent has sent a request to the International Criminal Court calling for a criminal investigation based on the US/Israel's systematic attacks against civilians and civilian objects including: 6,668 civilian structures 5,535 homes 14 hospitals 65 schools

March 8, 2026 - Tehran at sunrise today. But the sun is hidden behind a sky filled with smoke. After a night of intensive strikes on oil facilities, thick black clouds now hang over the city, turning morning into something that feels like night.

Dropsite reports “Black rain” + “nuclear winter” caused by Israeli strikes on oil depots in Tehran - chemicals are producing acidic precipitation that causes skin burns + severe lung damage on contact - the rain is corrosive + could damage structures - heavy metals leaking into soil/water systems

This is Ireland's backup supply too. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

that the Trump administration is trying to shut down a leading AI company because it’s unwilling to develop autonomous murder systems is terrifying, and should be of grave concern to everyone in the world

This is what ecocide looks like.
