Ezra is misguided. It’s zero sum. When cooperation is exploited for advantage, leaving others weaker, diplomacy shifts. Engagement gives way to deterrence, containment, and alliances, paired with strength, firm boundaries, and long-term pressure, not blind trust in goodwill.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

⚡️A Ukrainian soldier filmed poison gas filling a trench—used by Russian forces, a clear violation of the rules of war.

I’ve been using @inoreader.com gor the last 6 months and I can’t say enough good things about them. And they keep shipping useful features. www.inoreader.com/blog/2025/09...

Meta's Ray-Ban display glasses look amazing, but they will fail because the Meta/Facebook brand is toxic.

This is the lazy pretext they used to justify cancelling Jimmy Kimmel. What really got him cancelled was Trump saying Kimmel would be next after getting Colbert cancelled. He then put his minions in the FCC to work leaning on ABC.

Trump even said Kimmel will be next after Colbert. youtube.com/shorts/zyDQ2...

Suing the NYTimes and having the two most popular late night tv shows cancelled because he doesn’t like what they’re saying…

@adrianweckler.bsky.social I'd love to hear where Ireland is WRT moving off X-Twitter. Where are the population, journalists, politicians & brands? Have groups stayed, splintered, moved completely or in part? Is there a story here?

Hey Elon. I have some clients for you.

NEW: X has started rolling out it's end-to-end encrypted chat for all users. I was invited to start using it yesterday, so I asked a couple of experts if users should trust it. The answer: no, nobody should trust it at this point. There are several reasons why, which they explained to me here.

When it comes to security Microsoft are not serious people episode 12452. They don’t monitor the CA that they force their users to trust, and one of them turns out to be making fraudulent certificates. arstechnica.com/information-...

Moments after the collision snapshot was uploaded to Tesla's servers, the local copy on the car was marked for deletion. Then, "someone at Tesla probably took 'affirmative action to delete' the copy of the data on the company’s central database" arstechnica.com/cars/2025/08...

Microsoft makes shitty software for shitty companies. Spending $$$ on Microsoft E5 and not knowing or not caring that Entra is terribly broken in so so many ways makes that company shitty by association. Microsoft uses the term “best effort” to get away was massively insecure junk.

Let’s hope the NYT public editor looks into why Times reporters witnessed multiple instances of cash being handed out at the mayor’s events but didn’t write it up til they got beaten on the story by a feisty nonprofit site …. Apologies … We are being told the Times no longer has a public editor.

It’s great to see up and coming tech entrepreneurs grinding and live journalling as they build their app. Best of luck with your app Dustin. If you need any help don’t be afraid to ask!

@eliothiggins.bsky.social what are your opinions on chat control/lawful interception?

Microsoft’s complete inability to return a re-auth’d user to the page they were viewing before their authentication expired really shows their lack of any sort of pride in their work.

Finally restocking some inventory for the Bezek Labs store. $111 import duties on $88 worth of goods. Yup, no choice but to raise prices at this point... 😕

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

NyTimes: No Proof Hamas Routinely Stole U.N. Aid, Israeli Military Officials Say Israel has long restricted aid to Gaza on the argument that Hamas steals it to use as a weapon of control over the population. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/26/w...

America can break the food blockade of Gaza. The soldiers are removing preventing doctors bringing infant formula for starving babies when they’re entering Gaza. This is a man made famine. youtu.be/Le7I4kC4Lbc

Commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces‘ Unmanned Systems Forces, Robert Brovdi, callsign "Magyar", spoke at the LANDEURO security forum in Germany. "I don't know which NATO country could defend its city if it were hit with 200-300 Shaheds a day for an entire week without a break."

Using Microsoft in your IT stack means fighting an uphill security battle bad APIs, poor support and bad security practices. Leading to costly security struggles trying to secure it. Bad news for government, government software vendors and contractors stuck with it due to regulatory capture.

Access Journalism or fear? Not one journalist will ask Trump or his press secretary about his insane BS story about talking to his uncle about teaching Ted Kaczynski. Probably because they’re afraid of losing their access to easy Whitehouse and administration stories.

The GENIUS Act isn’t regulation, it’s legalized leverage like selling subprime mortgages. They're dressing up systemic risk and calling it innovation. Stablecoins will be under-regulated shadow banking, sold to aging lawmakers with FOMO & "donations". Europe’s sovereign model is safer for the $USD.

Everyone’s talking about sirens and phone alerts after the Texas floods. But by the time those go off, it’s already too late. Why are summer camps and RV parks allowed on rivers known to flash flood? In many countries, planning laws would never permit that. Why it’s legal in Texas?

If Donald Trump wanted to give Russia a helping hand with their summer offensive, it would look exactly like what we are seeing. That is my point in this video, where I also discuss the air war and give a status on the frontline situation. #Ukraine

Michael Clarke & Kamali Melbourne on @skynewsrss.bsky.social is one of the best News & Foreign Affairs shows about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. ( honorable mention to BCC Ukrainecast).

Why would any country negotiate with the US in-future?! The cost of a failed negotiation far exceeds the benefits of a successful negotiation.

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

The new season of The Real Housewives of DC is 🔥

Everyday I’m disappointed and frustrated with Enterprise software and service “solutions”.

Audible doesn’t even try to recommend books to me?! They have all my Amazon book purchase data, my Goodreads reviews and AWS massive machine learning infrastructure…

Last night's attacks again show Russia bent on more suffering and the annihilation of Ukraine. Devastating to see children among innocent victims harmed and killed. My thoughts are with the families today. We need the strongest international pressure on Russia to stop this war.

Microsoft Defender Quarantine for 365 Outlook email, is worse than garbage. How have they such godawful product design and tech. No wonder there’s a rich ecosystem built on how terrible Microsoft handles obvious phishing and spam.

Microsoft in an E5 enterprise setting is no different. Bugs everywhere, unanswered tickets after mysterious issues that point to MS. If I ever run a company I’ll ban MS outright on a productivity basis alone.

it should be illegal to give me any shipping status notification before the carrier has picked it up nobody cares about labels

Peak Canada

Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough."

The US has blocked a G7 statement to condemn Russia for its Palm Sunday missile attack on Ukraine's city of Sumy, which killed at least 35 people and injured over 100, including children. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Freedom of the press is under attack in the United States. What kind of country will be left after Trump? 🚨🔥🚨

For all the reporting on tariffs, the bigger story is subtext. We're literally on the verge of a self-inflicted economic meltdown―which can be reversed at any time by any branch of the US government―but instead we're just sorta letting it happen. It's all so incredibly stupid and self-destructive.

90% of todays news and commentary summed up here.

If Putin doesn’t magically agree to stopping Russia’s push forward into Ukraine, Europe has no other option but to meet them Ukraine. It’s already far too late, but the cost is rising. A rules based international order that keeps European countries safe will disappear if it’s not viciously protected

If we want a rules based order we need to fight for it. Sanctions and appeasement doesn’t do shit. It’s in the world’s smaller countries & EU’s interest to go to war with Russia. Push them out of Ukraine. Less will die in the med. to long term. Otherwise we’re back to imperialism & might is right.
