Even the briefest of searches on this Magika tool reveals that it's primary use case is for detecting malicious files that might have content contrary to its filename.
This Lunduke "Journal" feed is full of terrible takes.

Why do centre-left politicians post on X? Under both these tweets there are nothing but hate filled negative replies from MAGAs and (probably) bots. Why try to push positive messages into that environment?

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet.
Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

Other countries have watched their democracies slip away quietly, without tanks in the streets. That may be where we’re headed—or where we already are.

Man this is unbelievable. Propaganda much???
The new page emphatically promotes a theory that many scientists question. Meanwhile, basic information about COVID testing and vaccines has disappeared.

Trump's order on showerheads seems trivial but it's a subtle power grab
It seems only a matter of time before Donald Trump uses a crisis and the National Emergencies Act to bring about a revolution in the United States.

This is what we're dealing with. Desparate people who have convinced themselves that Trump is their saviour, even as he does the exact opposite of what they need.

The LNP campaign seems to be disintegrating. Barely any policies to begin with, followed by backflips on half of the few that they had. What's going on?
My 2¢ worth: they got lulled into a false sense of security and did not prepare properly.

One of the interesting aspects of all this is that the balance of trade has in large part been driven by the differential in living standard between developing economies and western economies.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

Yesterday, Peter Dutton said he will run Australia from Sydney.
Today he told Melbourne what infrastructure projects will be allowed.
He thinks this will help him in Victoria. #auspol

There were 69 journalists killed in all of WW2. 63 in Vietnam. The Israelis have killed more than 200 in Gaza. Deliberate murder to silence reporting.

Look, it doesn't really matter what we say - they will do what they want to do. They will make up justifications, and if the courts disagree they will ignore them.

I don't know where to start with that. What's worse - that this guy sees Ukraine as a wayward farm animal or that he thinks it's ok to beat animals with a 2x4???
There was an audible gasp at the Council on Foreign Relations as Keith Kellogg, White House’s special envoy for Ukraine & Russia, characterised US decision to cut off intelligence sharing & military aid to Kyiv as like beating a farm animal with a piece of wood. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

This is a perfect illustration of the fact that the US is now split into two diametrically opposed realities. Ds seem to still accept the Western narrative, but Rs seem to fully believe the Russian narrative.
Such a huge divide - scary times.
