The Iranian regime was wobbling during the protests. Trump could have financially/practically helped opposition figures. It might actually have worked, but he never gave a damn about Iranians. The most effective & least dangerous path to regime change was blocked off by his lack of empathy.

PSA: if you’re somebody who runs air purifiers in your house all the time and you ever smell gas in your house even a little bit intermittently, get your house checked for gas leaks. They can apparently go otherwise unnoticed for a really long time if your HEPA filters are good enough 😳

Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."

No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

Meta to Shut Down Instagram End-to-End Encrypted Chat Support Starting May 2026 Meta will end Instagram E2EE chats May 8, 2026, reversing a 2021 privacy test and reigniting debate over encrypted messaging oversight.

In this golden age of surveillance, making E2EE chat normal and expected has been privacy's biggest win. I hate to see it getting rolled back. thehackernews.com/2026/03/meta...

A controversial game about a difficult topic.

Mario’s alcoholism is out of control.

Unable to reconcile their love for him & their hatred for his addiction, Mario’s family invent the ‘Wario’ persona for when he’s drunk as a psychological coping mechanism.

There are other reasons for the UK government not to award or continue Palantir contracts but this statement of intent by its CEO must surely be decisive?

A Atlassian mandou 1600 pessoa embora e justificou como “IA”. As ações tavam em queda.

O pior lugar pra você trabalhar hoje em dia é em empresa de capital aberto. Todas vão fazer layoff de “hype” - se uma fez e ações subiram, todas as outras seguem.

Se você estiver em uma, procure outro lugar.
