An insight into the kind of advice that the White House is getting these days
Richard Tice’s property firm “aggressively” avoided some £600,000 in corporation tax after adopting rare legal status.
Reform deputy leader’s Guernsey listed Quidnet Reit Ltd paid nothing in corporation tax on multi-million pound profits for most of 2018 to 2021.

“Section 14 of the Press Law ordered editors ‘to keep out of the newspapers anything which…tends to weaken the strength of the German Reich, outwardly or inwardly.’”
- William Shirer, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, p. 405
A farm worker resting of strawberry picking. Her pants are discolored with strawberry stains
The short peak season has begun in the strawberries on CA's Central Coast. In this 9 hour day, "Irma" managed to pick 90 flats or 1,020 of the plastic 1 pint boxes we buy at a supermarket. (A flat holds 12 plastic one pint baskets). She earns $2.20 a flat. #WeFeedYou
I know it's a silly jokey joke, but people REALLY need to stop anthropomorphizing their boyfriends. "My boyfriend told me" your boyfriend didn't "tell" you anything. "My boyfriend thinks..." your boyfriend can't actually think or feel; just output a convincing simulation of it based on probability 🙄
Altman's "intelligence as a metered service" captures the AI moment well—it's an attempt at the formal subsumption of ever-finer microrealms of human labour embedded within capitalist production. You already have an underpaid email job but what if you also had to pay the machine to write your emails
It’s so funny opening google and seeing a cute “google doodle”, belongs to another age, immediately thinking “your service barely works anymore and you’re evil I don’t care if it’s pi day fuck you” haaa
I'm working on a book outline that argues democracies rely on the constraint of power through functional verification, deliberation and accountability and how thats been hollowed out and captured in the US, and he just tweets it out.
Donald Trump letting you know how the authoritarian capture of the media is going, in case you missed it. Unlike other authoritarians in places like Hungary and Poland he has no worries about advertising his authoritarian take over of the media.
He is begging like a dog, one might say.
This war and Trump’s alienation of our allies may go down as among the greatest foreign policy failures of any presidency in history.
Why, as an occasionally bestselling author with 15 books behind me, am I now poised to quit conventional publishing, wave goodbye to all the possibilities that go with it, to instead self-publish my books and sell them direct to readers?
1. Because I'm tired of being marginalised by this bullshit.
Map of the ME showing the two straits
Yemen’s Houthis have announced they’ll be joining the war in support of Iran shortly. Analysts expect them to shut down another strait, Bab El-Mandeb, which will close the Suez Canal. The global economy hangs by a thread.
The system was recently ordered by the U.S. Army from Saab, with deliveries expected in early 2026, suggesting it may have been rapidly deployed to Baghdad due to rising drone threats.
The radar is designed for counter-drone, C-RAM, and short-range air defense, providing 360° surveillance and detecting small UAVs up to ~4 km away.
NEW photos suggest a Giraffe 1X radar was likely destroyed during the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad today.
Photos show the radome shattered, exposing a flat-panel antenna consistent with the Saab system.
He broke the rules based international order... and now expects it to magically snap back in his favor.
He's a wishcasting menace
The parents in the study were interested in the toy's potential to teach language and communication skills. However, their children frequently struggled to converse with it. Gabbo didn't hear their interruptions, talked over them, could not differentiate between child and adult voices and responded awkwardly to declarations of affection. When one five-year-old said, "I love you," to the toy, it replied: "As a friendly reminder, please ensure interactions adhere to the guidelines provided. Let me know how you would like to proceed."
This is so tragic it's actually incredibly funny
Oh my god people are giving small children AI toys and expecting them to learn communication from them??? THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT HUMANS SHOULD BE DOING THIS IS NOT AI'S JOB WHAT THE HELL www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
It is very easy to read statements like this as a joke.
This is not a joke.
We have proven with AI, completely by accident, what knowledgeable people have been saying for decades: the environment that rich people live in gives them a very specific personality disorder.

Experts in international and U.S. domestic law told an inter-American human rights organization on Friday that the Pentagon’s campaign of blowing up boats it suspected of smuggling drugs in the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean was illegal.
There's a hauntingly beautiful irony in these morons thinking that carefully crafted American hegemony was actually weak and woke, and they would be the ones who would do Power and Dominance properly, and immediately bringing everything crashing down
To put this in language that members of this administration can understand: Pete Hegseth is scared of a girl.
RIP to one of the greatest German philosophy posts of all time.
Hilariously attending a sxsw panel where the moderator started by "asking AI" to approximate the perspectives of the panelists and read those texts out loud
He...he made sloppelgangers
This is the stupidest shit I have ever heard my god. Also when I was taught about this horseshit to begin with I was told the eagle is looking at the olive branch to always choose peace over war (in my country at war since I was born) now the eagle is looking at nothing ffs haaa
Is not tomorrow, boy, the ides of March?

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.
State AGs must step in and block it.
