In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

there is a lot of intimidation in rural Ireland we don't talk about when it comes to politics. when the far right were on the move in Tipp, me and so many people I know got hit with abuse and threats, online and off, followed around when we were outside, etc. I know someone whose car was burnt out

Chatting with the homestead. Seems people felt afraid NOT to participate in the blockades for fear of being targeted, whether in a low-key “why weren’t you there?” way or family getting doxxed way. This is all very schoolyard bully but on a more sinister level. AKA, quite Trumpian.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards warn they could deprive the U.S. and its allies of oil and gas supplies for years if what Tehran calls its “red lines” are crossed.

We have an Iranian friend in Tehran who has devoted his career to translating Thoreau for an Iranian readership. Starting with 'Walden,' through Thoreau's anti-slavery works and essays on civil disobedience, the lot. We have not heard anything from him since the bombardment began.

BREAKING NEWS: Massive strikes reported in Tehran.

Somewhere Naomi Klein sighs heavily, resets a “days since last incident” sign back to zero, writes “MOON” on a post it note and underlines it twice

Lebanese political sources have been informed that there is a high possibility of announcing a ceasefire that includes Lebanon within an hour. -Lebanese MTV network

because there was no organisation or planning, just a call to action that spread on social media that groups and individuals answered on an ad hoc basis. it's a barely coordinated parade of incoherent grievance

The Phoenix have a piece out on Eoin Lenihan.

I've been working on this piece for a few months, and I won't lie it's hurt to go from hearing the suffering inflicted by this transphobic theocracy to seeing progressives sing its praises. The bishops' ban is the most extensive trans healthcare ban in the country. It deserves way more attention.

My next Big Interview for @wired.com is out, and the timing couldn’t be better: In the days before Arm was set to launch its own chip (!) I had the chance to grill Arm CEO Rene Haas on what this CPU means for the chip market, and for the future of Arm www.wired.com/story/arms-c...

We have to (have to!) break this "chat shit for money" version of the internet.

Q: The president just said on Truth Social it would be a 'big mistake' for UK to hold over control of Diego Garcia, but the State Dept said the US supports that handover LEAVITT: The post should be taken as administration policy. When you see it on TS, you know it's directly from President Trump.

Karoline Leavitt took questions for more than a half hour today and not a single one of them was about Trump's role in the ongoing Epstein coverup

I got a tip that all over the world, people are using a dead-simple hack to manipulate AI behavior. It turns out changing what AI tells other people can be as easy as writing a blog post *on your own website* I didn’t believe it, so I decided to test it myself www.bbc.com/future/artic...

She did not say what, amongst others, the French and German Foreign Ministers are claiming she said. The video they watched is obviously manipulated,they should have noticed. She did say that a system that enables genocide is the enemy of all humanity. That's because it is youtu.be/iHChlXErbGs?...

Rather than banishing the spectres of deindustrialisation, stagnant wages and rising midlife morbidity, it creates new spectacles of deportation and extrajudicial killings, and prospective annexations of oil wealth and ice fields.. www.equator.org/articles/hom...

Crucial - and generally totally overlooked part of this story - is *what* the journalists that Labour Together smeared were reporting on How Labour Together used £730k in illegal political donations to boot strap Keir Starmer’s political rise That’s why they were targeted

To understand Steen's demographic, you have to realize there are people who think a working-class blue-haired barista on minimum wage is the Establishment, while upper-middle-class professional Catholics of multi-generational wealth are the oppressed disenfranchised politically homeless.

We have had a report saying two women walking up to a protest today at BAe Samlesbury were stopped by Lancashire Police and advised to remove their t-shirts that say 'Free Palestine', as it may "breach the proscription order". And so it begins.

This speaker at yesterdays Limerick anti-migrant demo asked the assembled crowd if they were 'proud of the people they descended from.' The demo was literally called by Gerard McNamara, in a green cap beside him. McNamara bludgeoned his own father to death. A true patriot of Ireland

The National Party, Blighe and Steenson marched in Cork at the weekend under a 'WWG1WGA' banner. Blighe literally led people around the city with a tricolour scrawled with the imported US QAnon brain-addled conspiracy theory. These PaYtri0Ts are beyond embarrassment.

Two LA photojournalists have been shot with tear gas canisters by DHS HSI, including @acatwithnews.bsky.social who was directly targeted by HSI and struck in the head. Sean is en route to the ER with obvious facial injuries. He was conscious and talking when he left the scene.
