If the UK and France can't or won't hold the line against a Victor Orban Secretary-General bid, they should give up their Permanent Seats on the Security Council. No shame in no longer being globally relevant, but if it really has gotten that bad it would be humiliating to keep pretending.

When it comes to terrible practices by website operators, it takes a lot to shock me. I literally wrote the book on the subject.

Someone could build a browser mod that automatically sends that email to the company whenever you land on an latimes.com page. You could even include my all-purpose email footer:

Reportedly 10 current and former US officials said State Department appointees Darren Beattie and Ricardo Pita led campaign to restore the Bolsonaros to power in Brazil. Three said the pair told diplomats that it was US policy.

WHERE DID THAT DIESEL FROM RUSSIA GO? 40,000 tons of sub standard Russian Diesel was made a big deal of by Trump, as if it would somehow bring prices down. In reality it was mere hours of US consumption if it was ever even usable. The tanker, the Greek owned and Malta registered Agioi Fernandes,

This is real wallet-inspector stuff. The MoD asked *Palantir* to tell them how to buy tech. And Palantir, which has done very well out of non-competitive procurement, said: ‘yes, more of that please’.

Trump won't give a cent to Ukraine to help it to defend itself, but is happy to let Russian firms make money in the US that will help Putin fund his war of aggression.

A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Small dick energy.

The report Palantir delivered to the MoD had 35 recommendations, only one was rejected. By May, 'many' had been delivered. @suehawley.bsky.social has called for a National Audit Office review of whether the MoD is following conflict of interest rules in allowing Palantir to shape its policies

🔴 REVEALED: Palantir led closed-door review of how MoD buys software The review was presented to defence minister Luke Pollard by Palantir UK boss Louis Mosley in Feb and has mostly been implemented None of this was made public New investigation🧵 democracyforsale.substack.com/p/revealed-p...

US journalist in Kyiv faces White House online attacks while under fire from Putin’s missiles.

Russia has hit Kyiv, Ukraine, with at least 6 ballistic missiles within the last 30 minutes, targeting 3 million civilians and infrastructure, after meeting with Trump's lapdog Witkoff, who praised Putin as a humanitarian and saluted him on behalf of the rogue United States.

"how come Trump is allowed to do all this corruption?" It all started with a little thing called international law... being broken over and over and over again. When you allow your government to tear apart children for "national security" everything else goes out the window. Let's fix that.
