Musk vows to put data centers in space and run them on solar power but experts have their doubts NEW YORK (AP) — Elon Musk vowed this week to upend another industry just as he did with cars and rockets — and once again he's taking on long odds.

unlike "CEO said a thing!" journalism, this Canadian reporter actually manages to ask an objective expert instead of parroting a rich executive

fucking moron Ingrid Jacques thinks celebrities can’t have political opinions so she wrote a whole ass op ed in USA today

They’re still saying celebrities can’t have political opinions after they elected their TV celebrity a second time and after knowing he rapes children.

Jeffrey Epstein Co-Owned Venture Fund with Palantir Founder as it Entered UK Government The Russian connected convicted sex trafficker co-owned a fund with Peter Thiel, now embedded in Britain’s most critical infrastructure with the help of Peter Mandelson

"If Mandelson's links to Jeffrey Epstein disqualifies him from holding power, why does the company controlled by Epstein's business partner and co-owner retain access to the UK's most sensitive national security infrastructure?"

Peter Thiel. Jeffrey Epstein. Palantir. The UK Government.

Jenrick and Braverman accidentally vote to lift two-child benefit cap Reform UK politicians, who defected from Conservatives last month, back Government in aye lobby on Tuesday night

The only decent thing they've done in their political lives - and only by accident.

Bernie is right: we shouldn’t have billionaires

It’s hard to put into perspective how truly massive the warehouse is that was recently sold by the Rockefeller Group to the Department of Homeland Security for $70 million to build a concentration camp in Surprise, AZ. Across the street is a huge neighborhood and a school. It’s 400,000-square-feet.

Just when you think the TechBros couldn't erode civilisation, this.....

Melania should have to testify on the Epstein Files if they Clintons do. She had a closer & longer relationship with Epstein than the Clintons. SUBPOENA HER!

Talking of pissing....

So true.

Morrison's breakfast menu. One for £7, or two for £15. The more you buy, the less you save!

Crazy deals at Morrison's.
So that's 2 vegan breakfasts?
No thanks. We'll have 1 vegan breakfast, and then another 1 please.

ICE will be handling election security.

Never again wonder why Russia was willing to spend billions getting Trump into office.

So his “lapse of judgement” seems to be that he said:

“we haven’t cut front-line services other than what the Conservatives had already planned to do”

So Kent-Dodge was itself a waste of money and effort? Everyone told them that before they started

Can’t credit the author of this because I don’t know who. But very good little infographic. Worth sharing far and wide.

Farage is in trouble.

MeidasTouch sent a reporter to look for waste, fraud, and abuse behind the Melania movie. Here’s what we found.

A UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent.

Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal.

Never mind important local news, Newsquest's South Wales Argus has all the top stories.

The reporting of regional news is not safe in the hands of crappy organisations like Newsquest.

@bylinetimes.bsky.social

It is a stain upon America and the Republican Party that they install a 4 time draft dodger and crook in the White House whilst removing “internal links that directed users to webpages with information about the "Notable Graves" of dozens of black, Hispanic & female veterans” Inc Colin Powell.

I wonder where Celia lives?

While we are talking about UK corruption revealed by the Epstein files... Why is this not even mentioned on #r4today? How much more of that sort of rubbish do we need for this guy to be taken down?

.@PabloReports: What do you make of Trump being mentioned 38,000 times in the Epstein files?

Swalwell: That’s 38,000 more times than most people I know, and that’s 38,000 reasons why people want to know why he won’t come in and sit for an interview.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump The highest Poll Numbers I have ever received. Obviously, people like a strong and powerful Country, with the best economy, EVER!

the president is psychotic. in reality, his numbers are near all-time lows.

Trump says Republicans should ‘nationalize’ elections The comments come less than a week after the FBI raided an elections facility in Georgia.

Trump knows the Republicans are heading to defeat in 2026, he also knows it will be a catastrophe for him if this happens. Therefore, he will try to corrupt the election. It’s simple logic. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

These monsters are dead set on building a horrible dystopian future.

Anyone who's ever interacted with a customer service chatbot knows this is complete crap. It's so much worse than when you could just talk with a person. And that's for trying to do something simple; health care is much more complex, necessarily individualized in many cases, & higher stakes.

Why am I not at all surprised?

Trump goes public with plan to "take over" elections After the FBI seized 700 boxes of ballots in Georgia, the president calls on Republicans to assert control over voting "in at least 15 places.”

This is important to pay attention to. Trump's saying the quiet part of the plan out loud. With the midterms increasingly looking like a bloodbath for the GOP, he's calling on the Republicans to take over the election. This is what an attempt to end democracy looks like. Read @ariberman.bsky.social
