We’re back! And a lot has happened since we’ve been away. This week’s main story concerns unrest in Minnesota, murders committed by ICE and CBP agents, and the massive entity overseeing it all: the Department of Homeland Security. Plus, some stuff about Business Shrek – sorry, “Tom Homan.”

We used to call it 'machine learning' and it was super useful for analysing large batches of images in scientific, medical, and historical research. But nobody used it to generate 'new' images based on real data because that was, and still is, extremely dumb.

The Power of Poetry
 
with things falling apart
and anarchy let loose,
 
it was only poetry, he found,
which had any use,
 
so he reached for his copy  
of The Complete Works of Yeats
 
and bludgeoned the President
of the United States


Brian Bilston

Here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.

Couldn’t agree more. The crash validated my dumb preconceptions about him from watching F2 - that he’s an ill-tempered liability. But he’s proven I was totally wrong. Great season.

Is that Trump in a Guy Fawkes mask? Does he know Fawkes was tortured for weeks in the Tower of London before being hung, drawn and quartered for treason?

Screenshot of a tweet from The Spectator Index on X.com that reads: “JUST IN: Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro has started serving his 27-year prison sentence.” Below is a portrait of Jair Bolsonaro standing in front of a blurred background with a Brazilian flag.

If Adrian is team principal at the start of the season I’ll be shocked. This smells very strongly of fish.

A tweet from “Governor Newsom Press Office” reads: “Quiet, piggy.”
Below is a tweet from “Nick Adams” saying: “If President Trump called you right now… what would you say to him?” The attached image shows Trump sitting at a desk, holding a phone to his ear with the presidential seal on the wall behind him.

#OnThisDay in ’94, in the season-ending #AusGP at Adelaide, Damon Hill was cynically nerfed out of the #F1 drivers’ world championship by Michael Schumacher. 😔

The image is an X post by @RealJakeBroe from 7 hours ago, featuring a two-panel comic. The top panel shows a scientist pointing to a chart with a general trend and an outlier, illustrating a rational argument. The bottom panel depicts a person labeled "ANTI VAX" pointing to a similar chart, labeling it "CONSPIRACY THEORY" with "Lies" and an outlier called "IRREFUTABLE PROOF!!!", satirizing irrational arguments. The caption reads, "It is difficult to win an argument with a smart person. It is impossible to win an argument with an idiot."

This captures much of the frustration of today.

They seriously called the bombing raid on Iran "Operation Midnight Hammer"

I'm assuming the rest of the war will be Operation President Trump's Penis Is Really Big Why Are You Laughing

Back to the future…
Trump: “Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective” #Iran #Trump

Trump says he can’t allow Iran to make a nuclear weapon. But Tulsi Gabbard addressed this last quarter, so which of them is lying?

Max Verstappen has slammed questions around a potential race ban as “childish”.

Verstappen insists others should follow his mature example of deliberately crashing Formula 1 cars into other drivers, swearing and losing his temper a lot.
