This is an amazing interview. Thank you so much, Steve. Been saying it’s bvFTD for a long time. So glad to hear from an expert.

How many Dylan Thomases does it take to change a light bulb?
None, they'd rather rage, rage against the dying of the light.

BREAKING: Pentagon prepares every major US military base to operate for at least 90 days without outside electricity, fuel, water or supplies, anticipating a major war that could cripple power grids, break global supply chains and threaten critical infrastructure on US soil, per Fox News.
The plans include portable nuclear reactors, large-scale battery storage and microgrids able to disconnect installations from the civilian electrical grid entirely.

Deleting 15 years of climate change data WE paid for so big oil can keep raping us on high prices seems criminal.

I can’t stop thinking, tonight, about this Louise Glück poem, just astounded at how sad it is, and yet still how in love with the world

Do yourself a favor and read these comments.
Might be the best comment section I’ve ever seen

If SARS-CoV-2 was really damaging people’s frontal lobes, you’d be noticing people being more brazenly rude, hostile, bigoted, antisocial, and tribalistic. Both online & irl.
You’d notice people would be quicker to lose their temper, and unable to keep a lid on their emotions.

People really think Covid ended. Like, they really actually believe it, while it continues to come in wave after wave. The state propaganda really did its job. Too bad public health didn't, because they killed it for corporate real estate and political favorability.

Trump was kind enough to let Putin know that he's about to start bombing Iran as a last ditch attempt to swing midterms.
BREAKING: Multiple Russian Il-76 military cargo aircraft have landed at Bushehr Air Base in southern Iran to begin the evacuation of all Russian personnel from the nearby Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant ahead of military escalation, per initial reports and local sources.
The flights are also delivering weapons.
The last time Russia's Rosatom evacuated personnel at the plant was on February 28, the day the war started, removing 94 people in a single day.

Hey @grok, is this true??
Some data centers now run on lab-grown human brain neurons derived from stem cells, wired directly to silicon chips via electrode arrays, and kept alive on life support. Fed sugar every few days. They play Doom. We don’t know if they’re conscious.

Aside from the shocking substance of this story, what's amazing is how it was unearthed by Cole. The short version: The Russians were able to penetrate Jared Kushner's iPhone and extract screenshots and data. Then, a Russian intel official was captured by Dutch intelligence (!) and flipped. The Dutch believed Kushner may have been acting on behalf of Russia, so pursued him as an intel target and were able to get into his phone.
They did not find any evidence of Russian collusion, instead they watched him moving hundreds of millions of dollars from slush funds created by Saudi Arabia and the UAE, one of them housed in Israel's central bank.
Incredible reporting, and if Democrats have any sense, they will pull on these threads and learn a lot more about this money.
Explosive story many years in the making, now out in Vanity Fair by Matthew Cole (who will be on Breaking Points next week, and publishing soon in @DropSiteNews):
Saudi Arabia and the UAE set up multi-billion slush funds for Jared Kushner to use.
Iran-Contra 2 here (except with Iran-Contra, at least the US got some hostages released. Not clear what we got out of this one.)

Read this.
The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…
