Image of a planter used as a modal filter on a street. The planter has a large green sign on it which says "Road Open to" followed by symbols of pedestrians, a scooter rider, a wheelchair user and a bicycle.
This signage has become popular in the UK.
Your government refusing to prosecute sexual predators, but protect them instead, only makes sense when you realize your government is being run by sexual predators.

The Onion won the IP known as InfoWars when it was auctioned off to pay the Sandy Hook families that Alex Jones TERRORIZED after their children were massacred. Alex Jones sued to stop the Onion from taking InfoWars. He lost. 🤣 The NEW InfoWars will be a Satire Site. 😂

Today's free newsletter is about four signs that the AI bubble is bursting: Anthropic's services and economics are decaying, AI demand is inflated, more than 50% of data centers under construction are for two companies, and NVIDIA is warehousing $150bn+ of GPUs.

Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.

Newly revealed records show the Trump administration structured a White House ballroom fundraising deal to keep donor identities secret and bypass standard conflict-of-interest safeguards, raising ethics concerns about influence from corporations with federal ties.
Netanyahu’s delusion that the IDF can provide enduring security to Israel has been running into the reality that a % of soldiers’ combat behavior cannot withstand scrutiny.
It’ll be ironic, but unsurprising, if a sledgehammer to a Jesus icon poisons Israel with MAGA in a way that Gaza did not. GIFT
Strategically, Ukraine has a theory of victory that looks increasingly plausible, while Russia’s is crumbling.
Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.
"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.
I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).
So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.
Similarly, Palantir calls for national military service. This is a common and unfortunate affliction of middle-aged and older men, akin to an interest in the Roman Empire or World War II. Its simply not something you see many men in their 20s promote for obvious I-would-prefer-not-to-die reasons. Charitably, it reflects a sense of a desire for creating shared meaning among the young that the elderly perceive is lacking, or to coerce the elite into sharing the cost of military conflict. Uncharitably, it is the old telling the young how to live and risk their lives.
We all have personal views, but the manifesto completely merges Palantir and Karp's vision. Why should a tech company have a manifesto that includes rearming Germany or Japan, or calls for national military service?
Turning opinions into political manifestos demands allegiance or opposition.
"The average IQ in Somalia hovers around 70, and that's the threshold for mentally handicapped ... they're a net drain on the society" -- even by MAGA standards, the unvarnished racism of this interview of Rep. Brandon Gill by Benny Johnson is breathtaking

EU: The European Union will require sale of mobile phones with “user-replaceable and longer-lasting batteries” starting in 2027.
The regulation demands “availability of spare parts and manuals for 10 years to curb planned obsolescence”.
He might as well answer in Russian.
The RBA deliberately creates #unemployment to control inflation. Then our employment services system treats the jobless as if they caused their own predicament and don't want to work.
Unfair and unnecessarily cruel. My latest in @aunz.theconversation.com: theconversation.com/the-rbas-pol...
So I hope you all liked our State of the Planet set piece today: independent foreign policy and a massive boost to public transport haven’t quite got coverage of Electrify Everything, but all policies we’re proud of
Zelensky Says Kyiv Seized a Russian Position With Drones and Robots.
Psych impact: For Russians in trenches, being forced to surrender by swarms of robots and FPV drones is demoralizing and weird in a new way. For Ukrainians, it’s a rare, clean “future is ours” narrative in a grinding war.
Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

It is a profound irony when the nation under attack feels more empathy for the attacker's citizens than the attacking government itself.
Khanna: They’re saying this technology is going to be bigger than nuclear, bigger than electricity, bigger than aviation.
Last I checked, we have an FAA for aviation, nuclear energy is regulated, and electricity is regulated.
Not sure how this "no tax on tips" stunt was supposed to play out, but showing a senior citizen who is stuck driving Door Dash because she can't afford her husbands cancer treatment is not the flex they think it is.
Or was that part bullshit too?

A review of official statements shows that the public account does not always align with what can be observed through open sources. Bellingcat reveals a number of instances where authorities downplayed damage and mischaracterised interceptions. Read more: www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/04...
