Reminder that as far as billionaires are concerned we are just meat. If people need to be seriously injured or die on the operating table to make the line go up then they consider that a price worth paying.

And a month ago mandelson and the ceo of Palantir were in Laura K like it was normal

“I think it’s clear the Prime Minister should do the right thing and step down.” Zack Polanski says Sir Keir Starmer should resign after appointing Peter Mandelson as US Ambassador despite “knowing he was friends with one of the most known paedophiles in the world”.

it's not great when the consultation landing page continues the labour habit of just making things up where immigration rules are concerned. SETTLEMENT IS NOT GRANTED AUTOMATICALLY. absolute joke of a government

Create entire worlds with the help of your fucking brain. Start writing for free using your pen or keyboard.

Worth noting that Laure Beccuau, whose cybercrime division just raided X's offices in Paris yesterday, is the city's first female prosecutor.

I don't think people not on the political left appreciate how brain breaking the Epstein files are for us. Being told that all of your greatest enemies are provably part of a cabal of paedophiles makes you feel like you are going insane. It's like an evil genie has made your worst fantasies real.

'to treat peer review as a throughput problem is to misunderstand what is at stake. Review is not simply a production stage in the research pipeline; it is one of the few remaining spaces where the scientific community talks to itself.' 1/3

Zack Polanski on Laura K this morning: "Gaza is only a divisive subject if you're taking money from arms dealers..."

We need to simply guillotine all billionaires. No doubt a small few are innocent of these kinds of crimes but it's not worth the risk of sparing them since they probably kept the secret.

Looking into it

concerning

Just installed Bazzite. First time Linux user. Currently dual booting on a second SSD but if it goes well I can move over and finally get away from Windows.

I think this chap might be in breach of the Public Order Act 1936... which banned the uniform he's wearing in the first place. Any legal experts like to chip in?

This entire party is just a festering hove of scumbags and grifters. They want to wreck the UK and line their pockets just like Trump is doing in America. Anyone who supports them is a mark.

Damn, I'm loving 'oh shit I seriously fucked up' expression on this politician's face.

Absolutely incredible sequence from CNN. "Maduro was a paranoid lunatic always lying about the CIA trying to overthrow him. Anyways, now that the CIA has overthrown him..."

Mislabelling transformer models "AI" was a genius marketing move. We're no closer to actual artificial intelligence than we have been in decades because we don't even understand how cognition in animals like us works.

Oh, it might kill us all but you are still going to keep doing it? I'm kind of insulted by how dumb these guys think people are. No should believe something that the person telling you clearly doesn't believe in themselves. Meanwhile actual harms of misinformation are conveniently ignored.

Governments did respond, with Indonesia and Malaysia taking far stronger actions than Western countries who couldn’t match their statements with real measures to protect their citizens. disconnect.blog/x-shows-why-...

When Elon Musk rolled back Grok safeguards, he enabled millions of people to be victimized. Shamefully, governments did little to protect their citizens. The X deepfake scandal shows why we need far stricter social media regulation as a stepping stone to new platforms — not just higher age limits.

They keep using the footage of him telling the boys at RAF Akrotiri (the base we stage surveillance flights over Gaza from) that 'we can't tell the world what you're doing here' and it makes me feel insane every time

Enough appeasement: Britain needs its own ‘trade bazooka’ to take on Donald Trump | Ed Davey

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Four and a half MILLION dead children

Not all heroes wear capes.

Literally just stealing.

This requires extensive credulity, but the most unbelievable part of this is that a Google VP drives a 2019 Honda minivan.

People are trying to make this complicated, kicking dust into the air. But it's really simple: *The government has created the impossible conditions in which these prisoners - who have not been convicted of any crime - languish. By refusing to intervene, it is killing them.*

English guy in work complaining about holiday travel: "You are lucky you can get Irish passports. In Europe they make British passport holders feel like second class citizens." Dude, if you are in another country you are literally not a citizen! That's what being in a foreign country means!

The government sits and watches as Heba dies. It's heartbreaking, horrible, almost impossible to compute. Didn't people vote in the hope (however forlorn) of ending the Tories' psychopathic mode of government? Yet on it goes, under Keir Starmer. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Never forget: the people who hate their country most are those who style themselves "patriots".

Politicians be like: "Oh, I need to be on X to be heard. I don't like looking at deep fakes and kiddie porn. I just need to do it for work." Okay, nonce.

New folding ideas!

Grok is undressing women and children. Don’t expect the US to take action | Moira Donegan

I think the maxim "hell is other people" applies to the hypothetical enjoyment of an afterlife.

If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Today’s column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Worth emphasizing: Musk is laughing about this

This is a joke, right? This is five year old hardware. Probably still with 8GB memory. Fine if you have one and are willing to make do but not exactly something you should be buying new in 2026.

I think it's unironically great that America is passed pretending it stands for any higher values and is just flat out saying they want to capture oil and mineral resources. We can now force an honest conversation with centrists about the evil of imperialism.

lovely little logic loop here. the left have accurately described reality, but i still think they're wrong, so what if it was somehow in fact the left's describing of reality that perverted history to make them right. quantum politics. no fair, you changed the outcome by measuring it!

Maria Corina Machado in November at the American World Business Forum in Miami promising a “massive privatization program” in Venezuela

If Xi Jinping invaded Taiwan right now, and toppled the president there, on what grounds would the United States object? Or have any credibility to say anything?

Big congrats to the Nobel Committee for awarding the prize "for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy" just so she could immediately conspire with a foreign government to murder civilians on the high seas then invade and stage a coup.

Keir Starmer says he wants to establish facts by *watching Donald Trumps press conference.* People said giving him a second state visit was a genius move of strategy - really seems to have paid off. Special relationship - alive and kicking.

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.
