Moltbook seems to have "broken through" to a wider non-AI audience
A good chance to explain the real present (this time, Moltbook was mostly roleplaying by people & agents, not "real") & the risks for the future (independent AI agents coordinating in weird ways can spiral out of control, fast)

Excellent reporting here on Egypt's growing intervention in Sudan flying Turkish-made drones from a remote base at the Sudanese border.
Since last November, Egyptian drone attacks have largely closed down the UAE-RSF supply route via Kufra in Libya.

The "coincidence" of Epstein's cash payments to Peter Mandelson's partner/husband in 2009/10 and the then industry secretary's lobbying within cabinet for a softer post-crash policy towards bankers looks on the face of it like outright corruption. Certainly demands police investigation.
