I doubt any company that works with military contracts is gonna have rosey principles short term or long term. Anthropic has already had military contracts for how long.

I’m not believing anything related to β€œterrorism” until actual evidence is produced. Only consistent info I’m finding is the shooter drove around outside west 6th, shot first at Buford’s with some smaller weapon, shot people with rifle later right around the crowded bar close.

One reason why journalists should get off Twitter is that they'll drastically overestimate the public appetite for this war, and really any of this regime's hugely unpopular policies

Elon Musk’s Secret Web of Companies in Texas

NEW: Elon Musk said he was β€œselling almost all physical possessions” when he moved to Texas. Nope. Instead, he has secretly amassed land and penthouses and planes and mansions. We just had to spend months digging through private company records to find it all. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/27/t...

What's replaced it? Vaguely, the idea of the mythical "seat at the table," of changing the minds of those in power (somehow without them ever facing pressure).

Notice this leaves all power in the hands of those who already have it.

The results, in all their utter disaster, speak for themselves.

Boycotts, callout campaigns, disrupting an institution's operations/events, demanding firings and resignations, using guilt/shame/pressure to get figures to bolt.

All longtime tactics even among the most pacifist nonviolence-devoted groups. All now often considered too aggressive or "unproductive."

The US and Israeli leadership loves when Iran shoots back though because that gives more propaganda pretext to start the hype cycle all over again.

America pays for Israel’s giant expensive iron dome of war crime protection so Israeli direct damage is minimal besides propaganda wins.

There is no coherent plan for regime change because that's not the goal. What they want is a perennial bad-guy punching bag they can go hit every few months whenever they want in perpetuity.

We hate kids. Like SO MUCH. We vote for the guns. We vote for the bombs. We protect the rapists. We have LEOs physically restraining parents from trying to save their children in Uvalde. We just blew up a school in Iran. We love Jeffrey Epstein and his friends. They run the country.

🚨 BREAKING: Iranian ballistic missiles have struck Dubai International Airport, with photos and videos from inside the terminal showing smoke and visible damage.

The airport is now evacuating. UAE authorities have not yet issued an official statement on casualties or the full extent of the strike.

Electric car drivers β€˜spied on by government’ through phones Two-year mass surveillance project commissioned by Department for Transport under Tories

β€œAt the DfT’s request, O2 trawled people’s web browsing habits, including those of children, to identify β€œEV users”. … It then tracked those people’s physical movements around the country and sent β€œanonymised and aggregated” data to the government.”

Good in my opinion. Sony and PlayStation stuck to the last PS4 generation way too long to mostly rake in cash of the big install base, and early Gen game experience really suffered and didn’t fully spread its wings until much later.

At least 24 girls reported killed in strike on school in southern Iran Dozens of children aged between seven and 12 hit in attack on Minab city

Don't miss the news that an Israeli missile destroyed an Iranian girls' primary school, murdering at least 25 girls between 7 and 12 years old. At this point it might just be muscle memory for the Israeli military.

First they shot a ballon - then they shot their own drone. Was it intentional testing or misidentified again? When do they shoot down a small passenger plane by mistake or heavily damage a consumer jumbo jet aircraft. Emergency landing at best.

Texas' Big Bend braces for border wall in national park, worrying local Republicans and Democrats Locals say the rugged land is enough of a barrier and they're concerned about the impact on the environment and homeowners as the Department of Homeland Security forges ahead.

I want to do my part in raising awareness. Texas's Big Bend is set to receive new border security infrastructure, including >100 mi of border wall cutting through Big Bend National Park. Kristi Noem just waived 28 environmental protection laws and regulations to expedite this construction. 🧡 1/4
