"Alpha School also digitally monitors students very closely. [They] keep track of when students are using its various apps, how long it takes them to complete their exercises, their results, and also records videos of them in order to see whether they are focused or distracted."

"My investigation into Alpha School also reveals that the massive amounts of data the company collects on students, including videos of them, is stored in a Google Drive folder that anyone with the link—even if they’ve left the company, or if it was sent to them—could access."

Historian of medicine here. Yes. Yes, they did.

In agreeing plans for a new Chinese mega-embassy, our govt has prioritised economic expediency over national security, its primary duty. Whilst some sinologists doubt this was the right hill to fight on, the decision displays weakness and will lead to increased Chinese espionage in UK and Europe.

CNN is reporting the real reason Trump is closing the Kennedy Centre for two years is not for renovation: “the Kennedy Center does not have a 2026/2027 season. There would not have been any programming to announce."

Now a little clearer that Epstein was cultivating people for insider info to trade on.

Jeffrey Epstein emailing Peter Thiel: Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain. ... Return to tribalism. Counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

A retreat in Flintshire sounds divine. It must seem a whole galaxy away from what has been occupying social media for the past four days.

The “problem” is that a peerage is BOTH an honour AND confers a role/function (membership of the HL). There are mechanisms for removing the latter but not the former. And in that respect a peerage differs from other honours (eg knighthood) which can be removed by the prerogative without legislation

"Of course, how was Mandelson to know that Epstein, who seemed so plausible, was a wrong ‘un? Well, one clue was that, at the very moment Mandelson was forwarding this stuff, Epstein WAS IN PRISON. He had pleaded guilty to procuring a minor for prostitution."

These allegations are incredibly serious, it is now only right that the police investigate Peter Mandelson for potential misconduct in public office.

No, your artificial lawn is not a "life hack". It's another tiny nail in the planet's coffin.

There are aliens on the opposite side of the galaxy who could spot that Mandelson was dodgy

In his arrogance Musk thought he was untouchable but the authorities are closing in, as seen by the EU launching an investigation into Grok under the Digital Services Act today.

Meanwhile the Centre for Countering Digital Hate estimated Grok produced 23,000 CSAM images in just 11 days.

Well, this is new...
You showed up so fast our servers tapped out.
Frustrating? Yes. Emotional? Also yes.
We're a tiny team building what Big Tech stopped being. Right now, we're scaling on caffeine to keep up with what YOU started.
Bear with us. We're on it.
This is what real looks like.

Trump's DOJ was monitoring all the movements of the Miami Herald reporter who was covering the Epstein case.
