Meta appears to be reversing its strong stance on encryption. The first obvious casualty is that they’re abandoning and disabling end-to-end encryption in Instagram DMs.

Anti-ICE protesters accused of being part of antifa found guilty of support for terrorism in Texas Case was seen as major test of the first amendment and whether the US could use broad anti-terrorism statute to prosecute leftwing protesters

Breaking news: A jury convicted people who protested outside an ICE facility in Texas of providing material support to terrorists, and other charges in a closely watched case in which the gov't argued the protesters were "Antifa". www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Watching Politico get told they're sanewashing shit by the guy they're sanewashing is just excellent. Media cooked. Getting dunked on by the people they're protecting. We are in the post-dignity era of the press.

British expats who fled the Gulf desperate to avoid being hit with huge tax bills after returning to London — The Standard The tax implications of a return to the UK are ‘troubling’ expats who have flown back to the UK from tax havens like Dubai

So sad.

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

Huh. So it's unclear who's funding this campaign to pay influencers to attack Kat Abughazaleh.

But the guy coordinating also has a company called Advocators AI, which just won an award for work for…Daniel Biss — her opponent.

One of the campaigns the company boasts about promotes trips to Israel.

Sometimes I trick my brain, like I’ll go: let’s buy a domain and make a website that does this 🤣

But who really cares what people in other countries pay for gas? Unless they suddenly become anti-fascist…

Secretary Of Defense Hegseth Casually Promises Iranians ‘No Quarter’ – A War Crime The term is defined as refusing to spare surrendering troops and killing them instead, a clear violation of the Geneva Conventions.

«Under Hegseth, in fact, U.S. forces appear to have already violated the “no quarter” prohibition last September by returning to the wreckage of a destroyed alleged drug boat and killing two survivors clinging to debris.»

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose ‘targets’

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Some days my brain says hell yeah and goes all in for days, other days it says: nah, I’m good, and there’s nothing, zero, effort

Exactly

Having English as a second language means I keep on learning new terms all the time.

TIL «denial of quarter»

I was too lazy 🤣

US gas prices is just too much math. First I have to do the gallon to liter conversion and then the currency conversion.

I apparently have a lazy math brain.
«Number high. Americans mad.»

The emerging cases of AI psychosis have shown that all it takes to drive some people completely insane is to put them in contact with a sycophantic chatbot who always agrees with them.

Now, what does that tell us about billionaire CEOs surrounded by sycophantic people who always agree with them?

"even the declaration of no quarter"

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.

Oh and into space.

This is Good Stuff. You put Good Stuff into the world.

Can I brag just a little bit? Sorry.

Here I am being mentioned in an article in Nature.

What a way to end a Friday.

The problem of pathocracy | BPS Do psychologists have a responsibility to help prevent ruthless, amoral people attaining positions of power? Steve Taylor considers the arguments.

This theory explains so many things. I’ve seen this on a small scale many times: apparently normal people who join a team with a nasty culture and they either leave or become nasty themselves.

It’s like an infection.

Yet another reason to leave sooner rather than later.

This seems like something that should be front page news, even with the situation in Iran.

Oh fuck, well that’s terrifying.
Can this even be undone?

That’s terrifying

Det er et massivt problem hvis vår statsminister lyver om noe som helst og spesielt om noe som perifert assosieres med Epstein…
