An absolutely staggering statistic

Huff Post White House correspondent 👇🏽

If “A Guy named Big Balls got beat up by a couple of unarmed teenagers” ends up being our Reichstag Fire, I’m going to be very angry.

Anas al-Sharif, prominent Al Jazeera correspondent, among five journalists killed in Israeli airstrike on Gaza — The Guardian Israel admits deliberate attack on the journalist, known for frontline coverage, in a strike on a tent outside al-Shifa hospital

OpenAI will not disclose GPT-5’s energy use. It could be higher than past models Experts working to benchmark resource use of AI models say new version’s enhanced capabilities come at a steep cost

No secret that the reason companies like OpenAI intentionally hide their energy and environment metrics is because they look very, very, very, very bad and the company is more valuable if the damage they do is kept secret

Weird how establishment Dems and liberals being overwhelmingly silent on the Trump admin hiring the guy who wrote this paved the way for them to openly declare war on women next...

What did you expect?

ICE looted their restaurant and tried to break into the safe. News chopper footage caught them backing their cars up to the door and carrying out cases of food.

a leading possibility:

Without an endorsement of those people or groups specifically but they also all caught terrorism charges and I’d struggle to say they are anywhere even close to one another in terms of what PA actually did.

Oh agreed, my anger at them actually comes from a sense of frustration in that we actively need strong and credible protest groups and they let their members down here. In that thread I went out of my way to give a bunch of examples of what serious people in direct action groups look and sound like

I feel like they got very caught up with the kneecap situation Which was happening in the background at the time and wanted some kind of consistency and now the entire thing is just such a farce. Credibility is completely pissed away for absolutely no good reason.

But yeah, again, all of this is in a very distant second place and another topic entirely to be fair. You cannot continue to arrest people who are doing nothing more than holding a sign as a supporter of terrorism with a straight face.

As I outlined in this thread at the time, this got them no closer to any meaningful objective and they ended up making their members a danger to anyone else out there who would continue to associate with them (irrespective of if the law was abused here which I think it was clearly).

I think maybe one thing Jill & I agree on here is that anyone with even a passing interest in the modern UK natsec space could have told you that the outcome was a very real possibility long before it happened. I think it was terrible leadership and they are not a serious group to have ignored that.

I don’t see the argument of conflating security with terrorism. Was it a dumb initial action? Yes? Did it lead to any stated outcomes? No. Absolutely none of that however justifies the use of the terrorism label and arresting grandmothers with signs now is one of the dumbest moves of all time

Trump's bottomlessly idiotic sabotage of the energy transition in the US could not be more succinctly summarized:

Leaked Transcript Confirms Netanyahu Chose to Starve Gaza as a Method of War Cabinet meeting minutes show how Netanyahu chose to create famine in Gaza over securing release of Israeli hostages.

Pure evil.

Too many leaders who need Nuremberg trials these days...

Just last year colonialism was held up as an outdated and wrongheaded concept to apply to the modern West.

like the exact same MO as internal recruitments inside of Ukraine by Russian security services.

It's so cool how the UK now has Russia-style laws against protest

A third of CEOs plan to axe jobs over the next year—and a majority now say they’ll pass on new tariff costs to their customers “For the first time since 2020, CEOs planning to shrink their workforce exceeded the share looking to expand,” the Conference Board noted.

Wow a shocking surprise

I mean what do you say to that. They literally don’t care.

200 days into Trump's term, where are we?

In the race between Trump's authoritarianism and efforts to resist it, authoritarianism is ahead. And while there are hopeful signs from the public, the chance of effective resistance is, for now, being fatally undermined by the capitulation of the elites.

Proscribing Palestine Action can’t hold.

They’re not a terrorist organisation, and nobody thinks they are.

A vast (and increasing) swathe of the population support their cause.

Policing requires consent and that requires a majority acceptance of the law, but most people think this law is an ass.

It’s hard to overstate what an own goal this entire PA fiasco has been. They are absolutely lighting credibility on fire with huge numbers of people who never would have questioned the credibility of the police otherwise along with many others. And for what? Nobody is safer, the opposite actually

So it’s not chrome, chrome os and Firefox in the browser market right?

What a coincidence it must be that the ICE facility with the highest number of immigrant deaths in custody rests on old plantation land surrounded by antebellum architecture.

A Small European Nation Has a Big Explosions Problem

“the blasts are typically organized on the Telegram messaging app, where it is easy to buy illegal fireworks and hire people — mostly males in their teens and early 20s — to place the bombs, usually for a fee of a few hundred euros.”
