The FBI is to release a Jeffrey Epstein video “confirming his suicide in jail”, The Times reports. Though he might have six fingers.

Trump has ordered the US Military to halt coordination with Israel on a possible strike on Iran’s nuclear sites. (N12 News)

On the brink of the South Korean Presidential election, only 15% believe the country is on the right track.

Deep cut.

Looks like RFK Jr’s Make America Healthy Again Report was written by AI. This administration is so stupid.

See, it’s not just Ryanair. It’s EasyJet too.

All you need to know about Elon Musk’s stunning success is that he lasted 2.65 Liz Trusses and lost 150 billion dollars.

I have absolutely no time for people who were given good opportunities and then want to reduce them for others. Enraging.

Morning Bluesky. Musk is leaving the Trump Administration, with his reputation in tatters, after failing completely in his task to slash costs and with his businesses collapsing around him.

The slow death of American higher education. Nobody’s going to travel to study there. The best research will no longer be done there. The best research academics will eventually leave.

The Korean election is going to some strange places.

Tesla investors turning the screw on Musk as the company faces a “crisis”.

Europe’s Far Right leaders will be meeting in Budapest on May 29-30 for CPAC Hungary. Viktor Orban will give the opening speech. US guests include Ben Shapiro and Dave Rubin.

21 charges for Andrew Tate including rape and human trafficking.

Every time Trump issues a new two-week deadline for Putin “to prove he’s serious” he looks weaker and weaker. Trump’s deadline just marches on ahead while Putin is laughing and slaughtering civilians.

If you use Telegram now’s probably a good time to stop. Musk has just signed a one-year partnership with Telegram to integrate his AI Grok into the message app. xAI will invest $300 million, cash and equity, and share 50% of Grok subscription revenue.

The Cambodian army is moving troops to the Thai border after a Cambodian soldier was killed in a clash with Thai forces earlier today.

The global realignment continues.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz: “We are financing Ukrainian-made long range missiles with no range limits. “There will be no range restrictions, Ukraine will be able to fire long range missiles at areas outside its territories.”

This quote from Trump’s lawyer Alina Habba is the very essence of MAGA and other know-nothing Right Wing movements: ““Somebody said to me, Alina, would you rather be smart or pretty? And I said, easy, pretty. I can fake being smart.” Only the really stupid think you can fake being smart.

ÂŁ9 billion for public services left on the table. Another stupid government decision that is behind what is happening in the rest of the world.
