No one in their right mind believes this dreck. The U.S wants Europe & allies frightened, weak & dependent on daddy America while it rehabilitates Putin, supports right wing politicians & destroys Ukraine.

We're going to see a lot more shortages as species numbers start crashing.

Tinned sardines shortages loom as Morocco supply ‘non-existent’ The majority of the UK's tinned sardines come from Moroccan waters

Wondering why there are empty shelves for sardines?

The article is from March 2025 but I guess its the same reasons

Global boiling is warming up the seas, which is decreasing the amount of plankton, which is decreasing the amount of sardines

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it," as the ever-prescient Upton Sinclair wrote.

They don’t want us to vote.

Because they are NOT the majority.

no, it simply isnt.
People are talking about capital using gAI as an excuse to conduct mass lay-offs, about students losing learning because theyre being lied to about gAI in education, about the mass theft of the work of artists and authors to train LLMs, about CSAM and nonconsensual sexual images.

A leading American research lab is slated to lose its critical supercomputing facility, according to a letter released by the National Science Foundation.https://cnn.it/3MoF7zU

Everyone who?

Meta’s Smart Glasses Are Wreaking Havoc in Schools Across the Country. It’s Only Going to Get Worse. “Everyone has accepted the reality that the second you step outside, you waive your right to privacy.”

I'm still curious if the people who argued schools shouldn't restrict AI use because "it's a tool and you can't restrict tools and instead we should teach students to use AI in everything" feel same way about AI glasses that can look up test answers? Still feel that way?

I signed this letter, and it’s a serious warning - if we don’t want UK governance to keep on weakening, we really must improve the legitimacy of our elections. www.politicshome.com/news/article...

At which point, everyone who has been on hold for 2.5 years will grab a pitchfork and a torch and storm Microsoft's HQ demanding to speak to a live human.

Jim Ratcliffe and the art of shamelessness Immigrant billionaire owner of Manchester United condemns immigrants – just the poor ones, though

This week on Bylines Scotland...

"Manchester United’s squad currently includes 19 foreign players out of 26 – that’s 73.1% ‘immigrants’, according to Transfermarkt. But apparently those immigrants don’t count. They’re assets. Investments. Tradable commodities. Certainly not immigrants!"

It will turn out the financial stuff in the Epstein files is almost as damning as the sexual abuse stuff.

It's not like Marc Rowan took over Apollo for Leon Black in 2021 when he was accused of sexual assault or found to be Epstein's benefactor, oh wait. #RDIF

As if Rowan and Epstein dealt in planes for Southern Air Transport that was involved in Iran Contra.

As if Robert Maxwell hid all that money...

Exactly. I keep saying he's a second-tier mobster, not a Godfather. And that's because he's too much of a creampuff to do his own dirty work.

This is why Witkoff and Kushner are leading the negotiations. It's not a peace deal, it's a business deal. It's not being negotiated to benefit Ukraine, Europe or the US, it's being negotiated to benefit the Trump and Witkoff families and their owners.

Russia confirms $12 trillion pitch to Trump tied to Ukraine deal — White House stays silent on proposals Russia appeared to confirm on Feb. 13 the existence of a sweeping U.S.-Russia economic proposal known in Kyiv as the "Dmitriev package," days after President Volodymyr Zelensky first disclosed it publ...

There it is. Putin offers Trump a $12 trillion deal to give up Ukraine.

Ratcliffe says immigrants cost too much, while Ineos lobbies for state funding Billionaire’s business has in recent years claimed UK and EU support for refineries and chemicals plants worth about €800m

The Guardian's Jillian Ambrose unpicks the many tens of millions in state support that Jim Ratcliffe's businesses have accepted, after the billionaire railed against people on benefits (and claimed Britain was being "colonised" by immigrants while himself having moved to tax-free Monaco).

Take Big Money Out of Our Politics British politics is awash with money from super rich donors. In 2023, two-thirds of all private donations came from just 19 people. These so-called ‘mega donors’ enjoy privileged access to political p...

A crypto investor just donated £9 million to the Reform Party. Right now, billionaires can pour unlimited money into our elections, effectively buying our democracy. Think that's wrong? Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

The local MP for East Thanet has reacted with fury to a tweet by Reform UK’s Cabinet Member for Economic Development threatening to pull funding from Margate’s Turner Contemporary Gallery in an act of ‘naked retribution’ for holding his council to account. This week, Polly Billington MP revealed Freedom of Information (FOI) disclosures showing that Reform UK’s claim they had saved Kent taxpayers £39.5 million by cancelling net zero projects was not supported by council documentation. But instead of admitting the false figures and committing to stop using them, Cllr David Wimble – who is responsible for funding for the gallery – tweeted, “perhaps we could pull funding for her lovely turner contemporary?... Polly suck it up.” The Turner has contributed more than £100 million to the economy of Thanet, and has welcomed more than 4.8 million visitors since it was opened.

A pretty bleak threat from the Reform party on Kent county council...

Not only is this what you would do if you were trying to kill a technology and a company developing it ….

it's what you would do if you were trying to kill *people*.

Not that surprising. South Jersey is Bruuuuce heartland. They would have heard that song.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Rubio tells Europe US wants renewed alliance – but on Trump’s terms Secretary of state calls the US ‘a child of Europe’ and urges continent to back a new world order

Like I say: they are saying that they’ve done Nazi and Europe better do the same, or else. Because they are the mortal enemies of decent people, and this shit should not be humoured for a microsecond. Tell them to fuck off immediately, or they will get worse and demand more.
