DO NOT LOOK AWAY.

Two-month old babies, choking on their own vomit while detained by ICE? I can't even believe I typed that sentence.

MAGA, you can't keep clinging to your "oh, they need to come here legally" bullshit. These are BABIES.

Where is the humanity?
Shut these concentration camps DOWN.

Let Them Fly First Class: Kristi Noem’s DHS Luxury Jet Scandal Inside Noem's flying palace. Plus: Pentagon demands obedient, deadly AI. The race to deploy untested nuclear reactors. Lawmakers move to rein in presidential pardons. And remembering Robert Duvall.

The interior of Kristi Noem’s new billionaire-class luxury jet is complete with two bidets and a wet bar with a wine chiller. It will be purchased on our dime from the slush fund Congress approved in the One Big Beautiful Bill.

Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

Choice quote:

"Sooner or later, either Martin [Lee] & Co. will be running the city or they'll all have been put in prison."

Oof! This one hits hard.

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of SEVERE disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

We’re fully in the “fuck it, get the copper wiring out of the walls and set fire to the place for insurance money” territory.

People are still living in a reality where the powerful want to make things work. No, they don’t. They want to break things and profit

Gates Foundation ‘sullied’ by Epstein link, chief says Philanthropic group’s staff express concern about the impact of chair’s ties to disgraced financier after 2008 conviction

The fallout from Bill Gates’ relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has reached the $86bn Gates Foundation global health philanthropy.

Foundation staff raised concerns at a quarterly town hall meeting with chief executive Mark Suzman last week.

i think you can judge how free - or not - our political media is by the fact that elon musk literally did a sieg heil (twice) at a rally and it’s still seen as uncouth and overly partisan (in legacy media) to describe his politics as straightforwardly white supremacist.

The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.

After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

This is why I keep telling people, tell the kids to leave that AI shit alone.

They already aren’t very good at math and should be using a calculator, not AI.

Getting off US tech: a guide I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.

For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Times have changed in terms of the government no longer having to answer to the public, and not citizens being more accepting of police surveillance. There’s a reason why HK protestors famously took down a ‘smart lamp post’ in 2019

We just found out our AI has been making up

throw up.

So we've been using an Al agent since November to
answer leadership questions about metrics. It seemed
amazing at first fast answers, detailed explanations,
everyone loved it.
I just found out it's been hallucinating numbers this
entire time.
Our VP of sales made territory decisions based on
data that didn't exist. Our CFO showed the board a
deck with fake insights. The Al was just inventing
plausible sounding percentages.
I only caught it by accident when someone asked me
to double check something. I started digging, and
holy shit, it's bad.

Chinese homebuyers are enraged by shoddy building standards Crooked walls and broken promises are harming China’s property market

In 2018 an executive at one of the China’s biggest developers described the homes then entering the market as some of the worst ever built. Then things got worse

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.
