I guess Operation Epic Guide didn’t have the same alliterative je ne sais quoi… I don’t wish to make light of this war but the US regime is just so ridiculous, absurd and dangerous all at once

Again I'm reminded of Juncker's prediction about the unworkability of the EU's 2-president system created in 2009.

One president says the EU is giving up on the rules-based international order. The next day, the other one says the EU will defend and uphold it.

Strategic cacophony.

I mean you can’t tell me someone in Macron’s team didn’t pipe up and say now hear me out about that connard Kushner, we almost kicked him out ourselves a couple of weeks ago…

This is just one clip from this insane presser, there are limits, when my uncle lost it his immediate family refused to accept it, most of the family went around saying someone should do something… of course my uncle was not in charge of an army with nuclear capability… I’m out for the day at least

I spent a year inside the content moderation workforce in Nairobi and Manila — the human cost of making AI 'safe' is a class story nobody wants to tell - Silicon Canals The people who teach AI the boundary between acceptable and unacceptable content earn $230 a month in Nairobi and Manila. The companies whose products depend on that labor are worth trillions. This is...

"The story of making AI 'safe' is fundamentally a story about class, about which humans absorb the costs so that other humans never have to think about them."

Iran’s deputy health minister, Dr Ali Jafarian, says more than 1,255 people have been killed and 12,000 wounded in nine days of US-Israeli attacks on Iran, adding that most of the dead are civilians.

Still digesting the technocratic detail but it’s a less inspiring Carney inspired speech from an uninspiring leader… my bitterness may soften on a reread but if this is the European call to arms, maybe Kallas will bring the ode de joy

Every leader should be saying this

This guy, even my septuagenarian Spartan mother has voted him off the island

The LNP’s phrase-banning law is wide open to constitutional attack. Is it a victory for the people, or a smart political play? | Anne Twomey By banning two political slogans outright, the government has exposed the law to a greater risk of being struck down as invalid

University of Sydney professor emerita in constitutional law, Anne Twomey, after passage of the Qld govt's pro-Palestine slogan ban, says govt has "cast off the constitutional armour that its bill had carefully constructed, & left its law wide open to attack" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Definitely a theme to my reading and viewing presently, I’m rewatching Narcos of an evening, reading Eduardo Galeano and agree with Dr Walker this is a great segment in these dark times of fire and brimstone…

March 2nd, massive anti US and Israel protest in the Philippines decrying the illegal war of aggression in Iran and killing of civilians. Protestors tried to reach the US embassy, stopped by riot police.

Palantir staff working in Defence offices. Removing standard audit requirements. Watering down cyber-attack reporting. That’s the deal that the surveillance giant got with the Australian government.

‘Dark, like our future’: Iranians describe scenes of catastrophe after Tehran’s oil depots bombed Residents report terror of smoke-filled city, from potentially toxic rain, air and water to food scarcity and difficulty of escape

“Tehran is burning. And smoke has filled the streets. It’s impossible to drive out of the city right now and even with the windows closed, heavy smoke is making its way inside."

Scoop: U.S. dismayed by Israel's Iran fuel strikes, sources say The U.S. message to Israel was "WTF."

A certain former reality TV performer may have been displeased with this content.

Apocalyptic scenes in Tehran perhaps not the military spectacle POTUS was hoping for.

Wait until he learns Israel is not pursuing the Venezuela model in Iran.
