I do wish it was better understood by now—especially by folks in the media—that these "warnings" from large AI corporations in fact function as "advertisements" www.axios.com/2025/04/22/a...

Congress literally created an Alien Terrorist Removal Court for the expeditious removal of aliens who are designated as terrorists, under a preponderance of evidence standard. I think problem isn’t the time it would take, but the fact that the government would have to produce actual evidence

Credit where it's due, Bxl negotiators have managed to lock the UK into our defence standards, and remove fishing as an issue entirely. That's the major European objectives sorted. Europe can afford a shallow reset deal. The political risk is gone. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Not mild: The Dutch military intelligence service today warned that Russia's grayzone tactics are getting more aggressive - and are getting close to tipping over into something even bigger. It also calls on Europe to urgently ready itself for such an escalation. www.defensie.nl/downloads/pu...

The BBC is getting less flexible even as it needs to do just the opposite to stay relevant (and to keep talent). Simultaneously, climate is getting more politicised just as it must do the opposite for action to happen in time. Two interlinked problems going in the wrong direction.

The first 750 free breakfast clubs are running in schools today. They mean no child needs to start the school day hungry, while offering a supportive start to the day and chances to socialise with other children before learning begins. Parents can also benefit from them... 1/2

Joni Ernst and Thom Tillis — 2 GOP senators who knew how bad Hegseth was but voted for him anyway out of personal ambition — should lose their re-election bids over this if they run in 2026.

Hegseth should never have got within a million miles of running the Pentagon. He was inexperienced, unqualified & an extremist. His implosion is unsurprising. I have no expectation that his successor will be any better.

Yall wanna hear something extremely embarrassing? Before Trump’s election, a bunch of academics who lumbered rightward after being criticized by the left (Pinker, Dawkins, Krauss) wrote essays for a book that is coming out in July about the threats to academia from the left. YALL, THE TITLE!!

Egregious French tourist Théophile Gautier is dismayed to arrive in Granada in 1840 and find people are wearing Paris fashions, not moorish garb. One of the earliest rants about mass-tourism making everywhere the same. Just 5 years after the first train ran in mainland Europe.
