I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

Last Wednesday a colossal statue seen by millions at Kew Gardens for 60 years was removed. The King, whose mother sent the work to Kew in 1963, wanted it back. A curious story of the exercise of Royal will www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/monarc...
The curious case of the King and the statue
A statue of Hercules admired by millions has disappeared from Kew Gardens. Why has Charles decided to remove a prime piece of public art?

There's been endless talk about an AI bubble, but less about exactly how, why, and how much it's a bubble. So I turned to the framework put forward by scholars Brent Goldfarb and David A. Kirsch, authors of "Bubbles and Crashes," for assessing tech bubbles.

The term is PEP (progressive except Palestine). It's very common amongst people that want to appear liberal and concerned with human rights but without running into much friction about it
From the guy who wrote about his family history of exterminating Indigenous Australians and lamenting the British for their attitude of terra nullius.
He then does THE SAME FUCKING THING to Palestine, ignoring 3300 years of continuous habitation!

The United States is conditioned to reject external ideas or international law in order to protect the illegal actions committed by its government. Traditionally the US is known for its extensive acts against humanity the world over, something that until recently didn’t affect “We The People.”

i do not have a lot of tolerance for people whining that Netanyahu fucked Biden over in order to get Trump in office so he could do whatever he wanted. yeah. he absolutely did that. that was obvious before 10/7.

It's the billionaires...
So there’s the billionaire in the White House who was born very rich and is now carrying out the pinnacle of his career as a fraud.
His campaign was largely funded by a billionaire who was born to owners of an emerald mine and made billions by lying for a decade about what his products could do.

How stupid are Labour for not continuously using this to attack Reform.
"Brexiteers boasted that leaving the EU would be worth hundreds of billions a year. Cambridge Econometrics estimates that over the next decade Britain's economy will be £300bn smaller than if we had not left the EU. This is self-harm on a heroic scale."
