My guess is that Israel will also start bombing Iranian hospitals and universities, "in self-defense".

Gaza was a blueprint.

US and Israeli attacks on Iran are flagrantly unlawful acts of aggression. The reported intentional targeting of civilian political leaders is also a grave breach of IHL - a war crime. Obvious and largely uncontested, but it needs to be repeated far and wide - and condemned in no uncertain terms.

Ah. It seems that Carney's speech at Davos was actually just an elaborate joke. Well played, sir. I was convinced there for a moment that you had scruples

Israel strikes two schools in Iran, killing more than 80 people State media says Israeli attack on girls' school in the city of Minab in the south of the country kills dozens.

College Students Flock to a New Major: A.I.

Speaking as someone who was a subprime mortgage major in 2007-2008, this sounds like a good career opportunity.

Can Bombardier make the jump from corporate welfare poster child to defence darling? Bombardier is a natural for Ottawa to lean on as it steps up defence spending, but past problems suggest caution is advised. Read more here.

Professor Carol Liao (@carolmliao.bsky.social) commented on Bombardier's past challenges that centred around debt, bailouts and its governance structure. financialpost.com/news/economy...

"theft tech" is a term my pal @astra.bsky.social thought of just today when we were working on our book about these End Times Fascists.

We were thinking about what should happen when this this bubble busts, as we all know it will.

Remember: they have bunkers. We don't. 2/3

The AI bubble may be about to bust.

Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.

We all need to say this very clearly:

NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!

Expropriate their asses instead.

They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.

They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3
