In 2025 the FBI tasked 934 agents not to investigate Jeffrey Epstein, but to review and redact files. They were paid $851,000 in overtime in under a week.

DOJ now admits the Epstein archive isn’t 1M documents but more than 5.2M. Less than 1% has been released. #OpDeathEaters

Massive credit to Gearbox for putting this into Borderlands 4

Massive credit to Gearbox for including these options in Borderlands 4:

Bass Reduction (Vestibular) - Reduces low frequencies that may trigger dizziness, vertigo, or motion sickness in sensitive players with vestibular disorders.

Ear Fatigue Reduction - Reduces harsh frequencies that can cause listening fatigue during extended gaming sessions.

Hyperacusis Relief - Reduces mid and high frequencies that can sometimes cause pain or discomfort for players with sound sensitivity.

Misophonia Relief - Softens sounds that may trigger strong negative reactions, such as mouth noises, keyboard clicks, or other irritating sounds.

Sensory Comfort - Creates a gentler audio experience by reducing overwhelming frequencies. Helpful for sensory processing and general sound sensitivities.

Tinnitus Relief Targeted - More aggressive reduction of high frequencies for player siwht severe tinnitus sensitivity.

80 Hz Notch - Removes 80 Hz frequencies from the game audio that may cause unwanted resonance or uncomfortable rumble.

Excuse me? So the company the President currently owns is teaming up with a cryptocurrency company to create a prediction market, which will take bets... on things the President himself has quite a lot of control over?

Gosh, I'm sure nothing bad will happen.

Donald Trump’s Truth Social platform is to offer users the chance to trade on the outcome of elections and sports games, extending the US president and his family’s involvement in the booming prediction markets sector.

The Trump Media & Technology Group, which controls the social media platform, on Tuesday announced it would partner with Crypto.com to introduce “Truth Predict”, which would allow users “to react instantly to developments in major current events”.

Crypto.com previously donated $11mn to Trump causes. Earlier this year the Securities and Exchange Commission closed an investigation into the company, and on Friday, it announced that it applied for a US bank charter.

In August, TMTG also signed a multibillion-dollar deal to buy Cronos, the tokens issued by Crypto.com, which sent their price soaring.

“For too long, global elites have closely controlled these markets — with Truth Predict, we’re democratising information and empowering everyday Americans to harness the wisdom of the crowd, turning free speech into actionable foresight,” said Devin Nunes, TMTG’s head.

The EU Parliament has published a new proposal for Chat Control to mass-surveil all digital communication in Europe. The proposal is ineffective, weakens secure communication, and violates basic human privacy. This must be stopped immediately. #ChatControl
