Two Israeli soldiers jailed over smashing of Jesus statue in Lebanon village Israel Defense Forces say the ‘soldiers’ conduct completely deviated from IDF orders and value’

Sodomising Palestinian prisoners 👍

Absolutely, a bit like "Mother Theresa" who let her "patients" suffer agonising deaths alone and un-medicated to be "closer to god", then she got the most advanced treatment from foreign doctors for her own heart condition when she was dying.

Hypocrisy just oozes from the religious and the right.

Hopefully if these corporations are given the tariff fees back then there will be a ton of class action lawsuits against them from their consumers.

It's not a refund! Consumers have already paid the tariffs to the corporations, now they're getting it gifted to them by the government.

It's a great time to be a CEO!

They are *this* far away from throwing diseased bodies over the city walls to infect the populace again.

SwearSky Bluesky profanity, as it happens

What's utterly pointless, childish, but very amusing?

Oh, just the swearwords on BlueSky as they appear in real time:

Palantir manifesto described as ‘ramblings of a supervillain’ amid UK contract fears Alarm caused by posts of Alex Carp, tech firm’s CEO, championing US military dominance and of AI weapons

They wouldn't release something like this unless they knew they were untouchable and already contractually embedded in enough places to get away with it.

Governments used to be run by oil companies, now it's the turn of technofascists.

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).

Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.

And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.

Remember this.

None of them would have any power if he hadn't also found 77 million idiots too.

York woman, 86, convicted after car insurance typo The pensioner was criminally prosecuted after she had written one wrong number plate letter.

Single "Justice" Procedure, no Jury trials, utterly broken court systems, rampant corruption, privately run-for-profit prisons.

Even a #Brexiter could spot the trend going on here.

#BrokenBritain

Because they get away with it!

If only Trump's cult had a mass suicide instead of mass murder ideology.

The Batmobile is EMBARRASSING F1 YouTube video by LawVS

#FormulaE is now simpler and more straightforward racing than #F1 and that new Gen 4 car!

If we have to change motorsport into batterysport then it seems #FormulaE are gonna get #F1 fans and the wonderful noise of the V10s will fade into GenX white noise sleep aids.

As always, socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor.

Just like how still using twitter is not an endorsement of Elon Musk. 🙄

Streeting refuses to publish secret Palantir NHS briefings | Good Law Project The health secretary wants to keep us in the dark about Palantir’s systems for handling sensitive health records, so we’re taking legal action with Democracy for Sale to fight back

VPN surveillance: Time for transparency and limits on spy powers A recent letter from our lawmakers raises the question: What does the intelligence community do with the data of VPN users in the United States?

Using a VPN may subject Americans to warrantless government surveillance, and even our lawmakers don’t have the full picture of what data is collected.

It’s therefore crucial that the public knows how our intelligence community monitors our VPN traffic.

The government (and Tories) voted down a Bill that would make water companies actually pay their fines.
Fines like the £122.7m that Thames was due to pay Aug 25, but OfWat have happily deferred while they pay shareholders large dividends
How many ex-water company execs work in government?

Hartzog said lawmakers need to create more specific rules tailored to the unique threat posed by the combination of facial recognition and nearly undetectable surveillance technology before it becomes ubiquitous. Those laws need to target not only people using the technology, but also the companies behind it, he said. “A lot of these conversations tend to focus on, ‘is it OK to use these glasses or this tool to surveil other people?’” he said. “What often gets lost in this conversation is, ‘is it OK for companies to design these really socially hostile tools in ways that will foreseeably lead to massive violations of privacy?’”

Only US Votes Against Women’s Rights Document At UN Commission - Health Policy Watch President of the UN General Assembly Annalena Baerbock told the opening of CSW that the backlash against women's rights "feels as though we are forced to

For the first time in decades, consensus broke at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. The United States cast the lone “no” vote on a document aimed at improving justice systems for women and girls worldwide. Misogyny is the official policy of the US under Trump.

Country that lectures Iran on democracy arrests another 523 people for peacefully protesting The absurdity surrounding the UK’s treatment of Palestine Action and its supporters has reached new lows.

One elderly man was arrested while using a walking stick and an elderly woman was carried away as the crowd chanted "shame on you" at officers. One woman was such an extremist she made a peace sign as she was dragged into a police van.
