Read this twice. The world we know is shifting beneath our feet.
Breaking news: U.S. sides with Russia to vote against a U.N. resolution condemning Moscow for the Ukraine war.

Washington’s dramatic shift on the conflict marks a major break with its European allies and coincides with the Trump administration’s bid to repair relations with the Kremlin.

Great new Substack from @carolecadwalla.bsky.social about the great copyright heist involved in the AI revolution. It’s the Information Age equivalent of the enclosures, with Big Tech appropriating vast swathes of our intellectual property
NEW: Last week Trump announced 'Stargate' a $500bn AI sci-fi inspired plan to boost US economy. This week, I turn the spotlight on the man who stood behind Trump, lesser-known tech bro, Larry Ellison, his special friend Tony Blair & how they're coming for the UK too

Yesterday, the Baron of Siberia posted my investigation into Tortoise on Twitter. I responded saying the Guardian is cancelling my contract after 19 years, so I'd be happy to go to the Indie to carry on investigating Evgeny's dad, the ex-KGB spy. This was a joke!

Great piece by Patrick Freyne: I am becoming a demotivational speaker – let’s all have an averagely productive December. I keep meeting people who are extremely burned out. I meet them so often that I’m beginning to think burnout is something that exists by design

🇸🇾 In Syria, residents of Tartous and Latakia are toppling statues of Hafez al-Assad, who ruled for 30 years and was Bashar al-Assad's father. It is probably a matter of hours before HTS-led rebel forces enter here too.

As of last week, there are 14,996 ppl in emergency accommodation in Ireland, inc. 3,448 children.
