"Palantir CEO Alex Karp thinks his AI technology will lessen the power of 'highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat' while increasing the power of working-class men."
Remind me again why Labour is shoving vast public contracts down its throat?
Meanwhile in AI land the blue ticks of twitter just invented the Darien Scheme... worked so well last time.

Must-read thread from Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social
ian huntley is dead. i'll always remember how the british press attempted to incite hatred against the trans community by reporting he was transitioning, then apologised to him for incorrect reporting instead of apologising to trans people
Oh well, that settles that then.... nothing suspicious thereπ€¦ββοΈπ€£
So much for that special relationship..
I know a bunch of groypers run the administrationβs Twitter accounts but just in terms of basic facts: 1) Iran or Iranians didnβt carry out Oct 7, & 2) no babies had their heads cut off on Oct 7. Just total atrocity propaganda that was long ago debunked but still pushed by Trump
The enthusiasm of most billionaire media outlets in the US and UK for Trumpβs illegal assault on Iran is another reminder of how deranged, perverse and frankly psychopathic these organisations are.
"You don't liberate people at the barrel of a gun. Have we learned nothing from Iraq or Afghanistan? All we seem to have learned is from Gaza. Israel has learned that you can bomb hospitals & schools with impunity."

This is almost exactly what I said would happen on yesterdayβs show. The conflicting & contradictory reasons given for the war, coupled with client journalists & pusillanimous politicians on both sides of the Atlantic, will enable him to claim βsuccessβ when nothing remotely successful has happened.
Trump has all the money, all the power, all the attention, and all the bombs in the world.
But were he to live for a thousand years, he'd never have this.
And it must eat him up.
Well, there's a surprise... and apparently Farage is trying to "woo centre ground voters." The idea of Farage trying to woo anything, is enough to put you off your breakfast.

Dozens of graves are excavated by digger in Minab to bury the 165 school victims of the US/Israeli attack.
The neglect of this story by Western mainstream media is one of the worst examples of whitewashing propaganda this century.
An unforgivable failure of public service.
Extraordinary crowds as a mass funeral procession begins in Minab, Iran for the 165 school girls & teachers killed in the US/Israeli school strike on Saturday.
Many outcomes of this war are uncertain. But a renewed generation of hatred towards the West is now baked in.

No itβs called obfuscation.
Daily Mail headline: IRAN WAR: DAY FOUR U.S. lambasts 'hand-wringing, pearl-clutching' Starmer as Kemi says he's 'scared' of his own voters
The Sun: INACTION THIS DAY PM wont hit Iran back Rift grows with US Prez
Have we woken up in America? The deeply unpatriotic Daily Mail and Sun seem to now be supporting a menace of a foreign leader over our own govt and national security. They are really only loyal to their own vested interests. Which are a direct threat to our own. The routine betrayal is sickening.
Imagine an Iranian bomb had slaughtered 165 Israeli school kids.
Imagine the response of the Western media and politicians.
And note the lack of outrage and disgust here.
Reform 23% (-1) Greens 21% (+4) Labour 16% (-2) Tories 16% (-2) Lib Dems 14% (=)
YouGov latest poll. A reminder that over the past year Reform's polling is usually overestimating the final vote in by-elections whereas the Green's polling underestimates it. With everything being so fucking awful you don't need to doomerise about this...enjoy the bar chart, even for a moment.
I have never seen so much social capital pissed away so quickly by any one. It's extraordinary. All Starmer had to do was be seen to be acting on principles of good will and hope. Instead, he chose appeasement of the far right and cosying up to dictators. And so, he got Chamberlained.
Plus - 50% oppose US using RAF bases to launch attacks on Iran, so long as targets restricted to missile sites, while 32% support policy.
45% of Brits say govt should neither praise nor condemn US for attacks - 21% want UK to condemn US, while 12% want to praise.

You'd think Iran had started the war!
This is a defamatory lie @AlecShelbrooke. I am proudly anti-war and anti-racist. I make no apologies for attending a Stop the War protest. That does not mean I support the Iranian regime. I dare you to repeat your libellous statement outside of parliament.
"By killing [Khamenei], the US and Israel didnβt just strike Iranβs government. They struck a spiritual leader with transnational religious authority β and created exactly the kind of martyr that galvanizes movements for generations." - fascinating and important piece by Iran scholar Narges Bajoghli
Mamood and Labour aping the right (again) in claiming that the current strain on public services is caused by excessive migration rather than say 50 yrs of neo-liberal βprivate is good, public is badβ policies, austerity and self imposed fiscal rules.
Pope Leo XIV ! @Pontifex X.com I am following with deep concern what is happening in the Middle East and in Iran during this tumultuous time. Stability and peace are not achieved through mutual threats, nor through the use of weapons, which sow destruction, suffering, and death, but only through reasonable, sincere, and responsible dialogue. 7:33 AM β’ 3/1/26 β’ 39K Views 175 L> 455 β’ 1.9K 953 Relevant v View quotes > Pope Leo XIV & @Pontifex β’ 18m .... Faced with the possibility of a tragedy of immense proportions, I make a heartfelt appeal to all the parties involved to assume the moral responsibility of halting the spiral of violence before it becomes an unbridgeable chasm. May diplomacy regain its proper role, and may the well-being of peoples, who yearn for peaceful existence founded on justice, be upheld. And let us continue to pray for peace.
