The BBC affair is just another step in the way of dismounting the true headstone of UK democracy. It’s no coincidence. Institutions credibility fall together. Government, media, judicial power, are entangled with the incoming chaos.

Looser bonus rules and tax breaks needed to save London stock market, says CBI Industry lobby group draws up 20-point plan to stop London ‘drifting into irrelevance’

When you read the text it seems you are seeing an NGO asking for money to buy bread. Disgusting.

Were the No Kings protests the largest single-day demonstration in American history? Depending on who you ask, between 4 and 6 million people showed up – and according to one theory, this could be a turning point

The 1,000,000,000 time that US opposition tries to convince itself that Trump’s downfall is around the corner. How can so many intelligent people be fooled over and over?

If the rest of the world had said “enough” when Hitler tried to take over part of Czechoslovakia, WWII would have very different. Pretending that Metanyahu, Trump and Putin aren’t doing nothing special is the same kind of mistake.

Pirated football streams amount to ‘industrial scale theft’, report finds Sky executive calls for action from tech groups and government

There is no thing such as "piracy". The issue is with wrong pricing. Netflix discovered that long ago - Pirated football streams amount to ‘industrial scale theft’, report finds buff.ly/A2ISN9Q

When you watch September 5, the movie about the terror attack in 1972 Munich Olympics you can’t avoid imagining we had a whole industry focused on giving the news right 24/7. Journalism had many problems, but we were insanely safer than we are now.

Two decades of the Glazers: a debt of morals at United with football paying the bill Fans protested against the leveraged takeover but were offered little support and the toxicity has had a lasting impact

If you pay attention, you will notice how the same pattern of increasing inequality by transferring money from the working class to the uber-rich is everywhere. It will end badly, but the elite simply can’t help itself.

The US government is coming for Google and Meta – but what will happen next? Google suffered another defeat last week in its clash with the justice department, while Meta hasn’t been able to wriggle its way out of antitrust cases either

Isn’t it just too obvious that Trump is going to save the tech moguls in the last minute? Isn’t it the part of the deal?

Donald Trump threatens to remove Harvard’s tax exempt status Warning comes as the university rejects the administration’s demands to overhaul its governance

And Harvard seems to be the first US university with some shame leftover to display... buff.ly/9tc03uS

EU issues US-bound staff with burner phones over spying fears European Commission officials heading to IMF and World Bank spring meetings advised to travel with basic devices

EU will not rip up tech rules for trade deal with Trump, senior official says Bloc is ‘very committed’ to laws on big tech and is not targeting US companies, says European Commission’s Henna Virkkunen

The shamelessness of the tech bros Trumpian attack to the EU is unspeakable. This is indeed an industry that would deserve tariffs

EU drug companies warn of exodus to US as Trump threatens import tariffs - It only gets worse. After keeping the world as hostage for the COVID vaccines, now big pharma blackmails the EU to make more money. There are no strong enough adverbs to describe.

Revealed: Big tech’s new datacentres will take water from the world’s driest areas. Clean energy, water dessalinization and reforestation are the three challenges to find out if mankind enters the 22nd century dying or not.

Donald Trump defies market tumult as tariffs take effect Investors reel as new levies on the EU, China and other major trading partners come into force

The situation worldwide is straightforward but unstoppable. Capitalism, like monarchies did for 200 years, is nearing its end and will resist fiercely, sparking numerous conflicts, including two world wars, before conceding. #Capitalism #History buff.ly/PaB1WoL

The global state, from the economy to politics and personal bonds, often reduces to a belief that relationships need a victor and a loser. Even couples feel adversarial—her gain is his loss. We'll realise, like always, the hard way, that this mindset isn't the solution. #Relationships #Collaboration

US student journalists go dark fearing Trump crusade against pro-Palestinian. The Twitter Republic is more concerned with their future careers than letting the world burn. How shameful. You will be known in history as the “Coward Generation”. There is still time. “Stand and face your test”.

His view is similar to what Nazi strategists wanted in 1933. It ended as we know it ended. Invading Greenland and taking over Taiwan is no longer an insane thought. Alea jacta est.

The concept Trump is trying to play is the autarchy concept. He wants the US to have all the resources it needs under its command.

Global stocks plummet as Donald Trump offers no respite from tariffs

There is always a clowning aspect of fascists rising to power. Nigel Farage, for example, is a mixture of Adolf Hitler and Mr Bean. JD Vance is a walking caricature. Before he rose to power, people described Hitler as a rail station waiter and a hairdresser. It’s a joke to fear, not laughing.

No, not only in politics. But when you go back to moments in history leading to tragedies, if the opposition doesn’t face the fight for real, the bullies have no leash. It doesn’t matter if you can win the fight or not. Listen to “Song to the men of England”, New Model Army. It’s all there.

Probably I support most of her core principles too, but we are irrelevant regarding demography. Until the Tweet Republic does not understand what really scares the average American regarding immigration, they will look good on their Instagram timelines while Trump destroys US and the world

But that’s the point: she doesn’t have to fight among the democrats, she has to go to Wyoming or West Virginia to see what the real American wants. Trump can’t be beaten from inside an NY fancy coffee. The real battle is there, not speaking to her constituents.

If he chose AOC to be his heir, well then that was a FUBAR…The Tweet Republic will never beat fanatic warlords.

Elon Musk’s X obtains $44bn valuation in sharp turnaround Social media site was valued at less than $10bn in September

Elon Musk spent about US$300 million helping to get Trump elected. X is worth now 4 times the 10bn it was worth in September and Starlink may be the provider of public US broadband. THAT was good investment… on.ft.com/4iBVxj0

Anti-aging zealot Bryan Johnson wants to start ‘foodome sequencing’ | TechCrunch In the same way that genome sequencing determines the genetic makeup of an organism, Bryan Johnson — the investor and founder behind the Don’t Die

This is probably the most collectively insane moment in history. Now there is some genius thinking that the solution is no longer dying. There are no words to describe the [NON-EXISTENT WORD] of all of it.

Microsoft Cancels AI Data Center Leases According to a report from TD Cowen analysts, Microsoft has begun canceling leases for a substantial amount of data center capacity in the United States,...

The reach of DeepSeek breakthrough will send seismic change in the US in the medium term. MS (and all other AI giants) shareholders are probably reconsidering their trust in the company’s leaderships.
