Israel kills dozens in Lebanon after failed mission to find pilot’s remains Commandos started digging up grave thought to be of famous IDF pilot, leading to gunfight followed by airstrikes

Israel soldiers invaded a foreign country, raided a graveyard, and then when they couldn't find anything but people justifiably angry at their raid they bombed the place

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…

Solid legal clarification from @proton.me

Good communications really matter (adding ALT to make it accessible to people using screenreaders would have made this even better).

ICYMI, and in case of interest @davidallengreen.bsky.social @samfr.bsky.social @scotslawblog.bsky.social

Weird how creating conditions where powerful people never have to face real accountability leads to powerful people abusing their power. Who could have predicted that?

'An Iranian missile landed on him': Sky News speaks to son of expat who died in United Arab Emirates Saleh Ahmed, 55, was delivering drinking water when he was fatally struck by debris after a missile attack on the first day of the war. His son tells Sky News he does not believe his father knew the c...

Victims in our countries seldom get profiled and humanised in Western media. This is a portrait of a life cut short. What a tragedy.

"Saleh Ahmed (55) lived in the UAE as an expat for 25 years, sending under £500 per month in earnings to Bangladesh for his wife and four children."

'Stepped away'? He should be marched away in handcuffs

President Trump's Pardons: An Embarrassment of Riches At least the specter of corruption in previous presidential administrations (Clinton’s pardon of Marc Rich or Biden’s pardon of his son) appeared to be an exception to the rule. Today, however, the ev...

Trump’s second term pardons have forgiven criminal debts of $1.5 billion. “Allies protected, donors rewarded, DOJ undermined, and election norms threatened. Corruption looks less like an exception and more like the rule.”

seeing more disgusting genocidal racism talk coming from Israeli politicians now that more bombs are dropping.

There is no justification.

Every human being's life is equally precious and demands our dignity, care and consideration.

Full stop.

I didn't know about ALT until @rabbrucesspider.bsky.social contacted me, explained what it was, and why it mattered.

I was really shocked, and a bit ashamed, that I had never thought about it before.

Sometimes, it just takes someone giving you a nudge to wake you up to the barriers before people.

The English commentators are dire

Puffed-up, they talk in a triumphalist fashion without giving due respect to other teams, as though victory is their assumed right

Devoid of humility, they are painful to listen to.

I wonder how they would be if they heard their words back, in a different accent?

Donald J Trump is back in the Epstein file records. Pam Bondi tried her best to delete and remove it permanently, even 1000 Iran war would not help in getting away from criminal records. 👇
