You can do the same thing, buying a house and borrowing against it—ha ha, just kidding, normal people get taxed annually on their wealth via property taxes, the "you can't tax wealth, the economy will collapse!" rule applies solely to the super-rich.

Related: A joint venture between SK2 and Rudiarius LLC — two firms associated with ICE's infamous warehouse scheme — was recently awarded $655 million to build new detention infrastructure at Gitmo, among other things. The work also includes secure holding cells in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Tbh, this is a great illustration of why we shouldn't take Anthropic's moral claims seriously, even if they're sincerely held. Becoming wealthy and powerful warps your beliefs, bending them towards justifying and expanding that wealth and power, no matter how well-intentioned you were at the start.

When Anthropic was created, its co-founders pledged to commit 80% of their personal equity holdings in the company to philanthropic causes. As they prepare to take the company public, they appear to be walking back that pledge.

I'm not criticizing those who are showcasing the accomplishments of scientists, artists, and writers to debunk RFK Jr.'s comments but I think it's also important to treat them not as ignorance, but as the outright malice they are. He made those comments to claim a US citizen is unfit for the Senate.

Complete lie. Only last year Omar Yaghi won the Nobel chemistry prize. He's now been driven out of the US to work at Tsinghua University in China. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omar_M..... Also femtochemist Ahmed Zewail. Like so many "US" laureates, they were migrants once attracted by the openness of USA

NEW: Millions of retirees may not even realize it, but their pensions are increasingly exposed to A.I. That's been beneficial, for now. But fears of a bubble have worried state and local officials -- from Calif to Texas to NY -- sparking a rethink. My latest: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/b...

Time and again we’ve seen that when enough of us speak out, and use our power as consumers to demand that companies #stopfundinghate, advertisers will respond. /5 www.insidetrack.org.uk/releases/adh...

Almost none of us benefits from an advertising business model which puts short-term profit and convenience ahead of the health of our society. But ultimately the money fuelling this comes from advertisers we all know and shop with – and this gives us a way to push back. /4

Every day we’re seeing the consequences of advertisers failing to fix this: Rising racist attacks, the toxic resurgence of misogyny among young men, an uptick in transphobic hate crime, charity volunteers being harassed simply for doing their jobs. /3 www.insidetrack.org.uk/releases/adh...

This timely and urgent whistleblower report paints a shocking picture of an advertising industry knowingly complicit in the spreading of dangerous hate and lies. /2 www.insidetrack.org.uk/releases/adh...

Advertising whistleblowers have just released a damning exposé of their industry's role in "incentivising and enabling" online hate /1

All of Trump’s foreign policy decisions seem to be based upon a nepotistic cabal of his progeny, their spouses and former business associates like Steve Witcoff. At some point, it will be necessary to enact laws and possibly a Constitutional amendment to ensure that nothing similar happens again.

The remote rendezvous in August highlights the remarkable relationship between a son of the US president and a businessman with ties to the Kremlin. ft.trib.al/9g7wnme

Another story impossible to imagine in any other administration: the president's son goes hunting with a Russian criminal who is part of Putin's security entourage

Polling stations in Israel will close on Tuesday evening, but it could be weeks before Benjamin Netanyahu or one of his opponents will be declared the next prime minister.

A Haaretz survey shows that Israeli broadcast media are completely dominated by Netanyahu and Likud, platforming him 3 times more often than Eisenkot, who leads in the polls. Channel 14 is the Rupert Murdoch News feed, offering all Bibi, all the time. Netanyahu rules the airwaves in Israel.

BUNIA, Congo (AP) — The fast-moving Ebola outbreak in Congo has reached 10,000 confirmed cases, government data showed Tuesday, as health authorities race to slow the spread of the disease in multiple African countries.

The Five has included multiple segments about Trump's odd comments about men's bodies. Jessica Tarlov, the liberal voice on the show, said that most voters are concerned with the affordability crisis not "back end deals."

In fact I will say the Earnest and Pious Charismatic Ethnic Minority political figure (AOC, Mamdani, El-Sayed) has been a pretty good bet for the American left so far, whereas the Disaffected Gruff White Guy Showcasing True Masculinity (Fetterman, Platner) has been a worse bet. Just an observation.

The hours. The uncomfortable conversations. The doubts. The late nights. The skipped bedtimes & the time away from family. In Serbia, students organized for nearly two years. They walked town to town, knocked doors, & had real conversations with their neighbors. They won. Thread 2/5🧵

Stop what you are doing and look at this lovely story. A photography student in the 80s took pictures of punks and mods on the street in Preston. He’s now tracked them down and photographed them again. The pictures and stories are really ❤️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

More to come on this, but those Labour MPs opposing talking about freedom of movement need to be aware that they are also condemning UK manufacturing to more barriers and probably further decline. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
