SoftBank, once best known for having lots of money, is seeking a $5b margin loan (on ARM shares!) to invest in OpenAI

A generational all-in bet on AI infrastructure and we are nearing the finance equivalent of turning over couch cushions to find cash to pay for it

Headline from the (extremely right wing) Daily Telegraph: "Unmasked: Inflatable frog tormenting ICE is non-binary ‘Antifa terrorist’"

Three cheers for the inflatable frog!

The Nobel Peace Prize was won by María Corina Machado.

Venezuela's opposition leader.

Her biggest policy, privatising Venezuela's Oil Reserves, the largest in the world, worth nearly $100tn.

Hmm... I wonder why she won?

🚨 The Palestinian Prisoners’ Affairs Authority and Prisoners’ Club confirmed that no official list of prisoners for release has been approved by Israel or announced. They said names circulating on social media and WhatsApp are inaccurate and urged the public not to share unverified information.

I can however see exactly how it translates into at very least e.g. many more fishermen getting murdered, now with the imprimatur of the world’s humanitarians, on the excuse that he’s doing it for democracy

Peter Walker @peterwalker99.bsk... • 12m The Nobel Peace Prize committee's decision to honour someone who has tirelessly campaigned against dictatorship is both worthwhile and welcome, and objectively very funny. • 3 0 33 .. . . Peter Walker @peterwalker99.bsky.... • 5m That said, giving it to someone who opposes noted Trump foe Maduro is also quite clever.

Me: (awesomely smart) let’s give the prize he wants to a notable opponent of that government the Trumpers have been very loudly talking about toppling and replacing (high fiving each other, minds visibly expanding, quivering with intellectual capacity) What’s the worst that could happen

One thing social media really is quite helpful for is tattooing politicians with the logos of the various corporate interests that they tacitly work for, and will openly work for after they leave politics.

He’s real-life Posting Through It

it does say something when the real hardcore leftists are telling these lot to just join the greens. there’s something to be said for a bit of momentum

Extremely rare to see Labour doing good things, but this is a very good idea to pass into law; credit where credit's due

is anyone gonna say it

For context, several thousand US military personnel have rotated through Israel during this genocide. Whether THAAD battery personnel or working on the JLOTS (the "pier") or helping build out Israeli Air Force bases, our boys have been involved in the day to day operation of the genocide machine

Libertarianism WIN! This country decided to run on libertarian principles and almost immediately needed a bailout from another government

hmmm idk i remember you taking part in that collective madness around 2017-2022

not only is it a fair description, but one that might have encouraged democrats to make better decisions about policy, instead of that they decided to take republican policy and go “but we’ll do it nicer and competently”, if republicans are fascists, does that not sound a lot like copying fascists?

you’re arguing republicans are implying the democrats are less bad than them by way of being not-actual-fascists. i think you might’ve mixed up your observation of the arguments. if trans people/abortion aren’t going to be protected, and genocide won’t be avoided, fascism-lite is a fair description.

aw are the big bad leftist people stopping you from swearing in public? poor little baby can’t swear or notice foreign lobbying schemes

everyone involved with jeffery epstein needs to be investigated immediately
