Read Byline Times they’ve done a special on this lot

I expect some degree of parental neglect or abuse, private school education & privilege helped cultivate the lack of empathy towards others less fortunate.

Feels a long time since Nancy Reagan said ‘Just Say No’ 🙈

The CEO of Palantir.

Reminds me of an ep of Avenue 5 with the ring of poo around the spaceship 😂

Saudi is coming too of course 😬

2018, Russia: "Fuck this, I'm not watching a World Cup in a fascist country. I'll just wait four years."

2022, Qatar: "Fuck this, I'm not watching a World Cup in a fascist country. I guess I'll wait another four years..."

2026: So I guess the joke is on me.

Changed now 🙄

The NYT photo desk FTW.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Hollywood unions alarmed by Netflix's $72 billion Warner Bros deal Hollywood unions and theater owners on Friday sounded the alarm over Netflix's proposed $72 billion takeover of Warner Bros Discovery, warning the deal would cut jobs, concentrate power and reduce theatrical movie releases if the deal passes regulatory review.

Palantir frightens me

How Palantir infiltrated the state At a moment of national emergency, the government handed our data to Peter Thiel’s controversial company. Mark Wilding joins the podcast

🎧: Peter Thiel’s company has worked with Trump’s ICE and the Israeli military. Now it’s embedded in the British state. @libertyhq.bsky.social investigative journalist Mark Wilding joins the Prospect Podcast to discuss.

Good round-up of current state of affairs on ICC, Microsoft and which EU state and sub-state entities have publicly abandoned US tech for open source solutions:

"larger geopolitical trend of States and the UN embracing OSS as a critical tool for realising their digital autonomy and resilience."

Cambridge University cosies up to Reform The vice-chancellor expects Nigel Farage to model his policies on Trump and says other Russell Group members are meeting his allies

One should be in no doubt that most of Britain's elites will simply make their peace with Farage and do a deal, so long as they get left alone or benefit. Tho there is resistance to Trump in the US, it's v much the exception.(1/2) www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

This is the most alarming story I’ve read today. Giving up the fight before it’s started

The making of a modern bigot A guest post...

🔴 The making of a modern bigot

Everything from Farage’s cigarettes to his performative pint glass radiates the air of a man who never outgrew his rebellious, racist youth.

Charter cities?

Pete Hagueseth. We should make it a thing.

This CBS story is just remarkable. It states that Trump insulted their reporter, and also notes the same thing happened to reporters from Bloomberg and NYT.

Both of those organizations are quoted defending their journalists.

But Bari Weiss and CBS don't lift a finger to defend their own reporter.

Your Black Friday reminder that Amazon...

-Provides cloud services that help fuel ICE's deportation machine
-Donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund
-Scrapped plans to display tariff costs after pressure from Trump
-Shelled out $40M for a documentary about Melania Trump

My hotel in Hong Kong, where people understand airborne transmission of respiratory viruses, has HEPA filters everywhere

Thanks Janine

Good morning and welcome to your short thread of FT Weekend highlight giftlinks for this very cold morning. Why not stay in bed and enjoy some high quality journalism. Links are free 300x that's all I have and the actual paper with all the weekend journalism you need is in the shops now!

We have incredible choice these days, but you don't half have to fork out some cash to see it all.
The Ashes cricket isn't on Sky, so it's another £30+ a month if you want to watch.

I hate all these subscriptions bleeding us dry.

It’s a surprise TNT has the Ashes. I’m peeved as recently lost showjumping (GCT) from Eurosport (i have via Sky) was lost to TNT. Then I weirdly recently found GCT highlights on ITVX of all places🤷‍♀️Sadly this crams too much content (2 comps) into 60 mins.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here
