I’m not a great political analyst, but I do feel Labour have made a tactical error by opting to be cunts.

The real challenge for tech bros is striking the fine balance between completely destroying humanity and retaining enough of it that their billions are still worth something.

Tens of thousands people took part in a trans rights event in London, about x100 the asylum protests today. Less covered, except for Guardian,either as politics or for lack of violent threat.

Not hard to imagine a “Trump wasn’t involved” public statement coupled with a commutation.
Trump's defense attorney is going to meet with the sex trafficker.
This may be the most corrupt thing that Bondi/Blanche have ever done.

My plan to revive American manufacturing is to: raise the price of inputs like steel, aluminum & copper; create shortages of rare earths; generate less electricity; invite retaliatory tariffs; cut R&D; raise borrowing costs by blowing out the budget; and to cover it all in a cloud of uncertainty.

Haaretz reports today IDF officers and soldiers admit that they were ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present. Here the crimes are told in plain speak for the benefit of those who continue in total denial of horrific truth.

we're living through one of the greatest technological revolutions in the history of mankind and it's not AI
Solar + storage is now $104 per MWh in Las Vegas or similar regions for nearly 100% clean firm power. There is no way new nuclear can compete with this. Even new gas plants will struggle and that is assuming access to cheap gas over the life-cycle of the plant, which is kind of a crazy gamble TBH.
Batteries are so cheap now, solar power doesn’t sleep
Batteries are now cheap enough to make 24/7 solar power affordable, unlocking round-the-clock clean energy in the world’s sunniest cities.

Here in East Jerusalem and throughout the land we’re on a high alert war footing. No public gatherings, work or school till further notice. We are told that Iran has fired off 100 drones which are on their way from Iran (these will be shot down).

My thoughts on implications of new @cato.org study showing immigrant crime rates (including illegal ones) much lower than natives, even after controlling for race/ethnicity. Among other things, immigration enforcement is poor anti-crime strategy by any metric: reason.com/volokh/2025/...
More Evidence that Immigrants - Including Illegal Ones - Have Much Lower Crime Rates than Natives
Claims that illegal immigration is causing a crime wave are ubiquitous on the political right, and likely helped Trump win the 2024 election. But social
