I've had conversations with a few friends who think WhatsApp is fine because of its encryption. That only holds if you trust the people who wrote the code you are running. People need to ask themselves why do they trust these sociopathic sleazeballs at all. www.theregister.com/2025/06/03/m...

approximately 49% of all college professors in the United States are only employed part-time

Ten years ago, it would have been inconceivable that a president would fail to divest from his businesses, much less that his business would continue to launch new products like a phone service during his presidency. This is yet another ethics outrage.

[more tea]

Hm.

[Buns]

Humans, what has ever been the theme but resource grabs? Has this accelerated in recent years? Who might oppose this? How do you weaken them? What has pREsident Demented gibbered about often? How do you get pREsident Demented's (fleeting) interest?

[planned for a long time]

Email the following day: "Oh, discussed it with the team. We're already working on something similar"

[Hm. Musk won't retweet this tho']

Possibly the effect of Labour finally adopting a positive rhetoric around giving its electorate what it voted for

Tea.

It all went wrong with season 1.

Oh for fuck's sake.

Hm. Still no plausible explanation for the big furry thing. Fleeing squirrel? Giant caterpillar? Fainting hussar?

A resonance phenomenon is causing big waves in the atmosphere. And that has increased due to #globalwarming, causing wild summer extremes, a new data analysis finds. The mechanism was first identified in 2013 by the late Vladimir Petoukhov at the Potsdam Institute. apnews.com/article/extr...

New pitch: Hoboken and Holborn stations become linked by an interdimensional wormhole which only Hans Holbein can close. Hm. Just needs a title.

Do you remember when Trump would pretend-care about these Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilians, and make his fake sanctions threats. Seems only like two weeks ago.... www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Hm. Now the mice will argue about it.

[e.g.]

And similarly, every day it's that jolly game of guessing who pREsident Demented spoke with last - and did they open their wallet enough...

[Social media inspired by Mr Benn]

Hm. What is everyone an expert on today?

🚨 BREAKING UPDATE Labour has FINALLY accepted defeat in our legal challenge of anti-protest powers We won this case in court twice - under both Conservative and Labour leadership Gov must now commit to reviewing ALL arrests made under these unlawful powers www.lbc.co.uk/news/exclusi...

[Hm... well... discuss]

Farmers call for UK animal welfare rules to be upheld in Gulf states deal

Hm. *eyes academic salaries*

Hm. Said it was off...

We taught you all you kNO...

[Not exactly helped by a nonsense op-ed by an, at best, misinformed journo, spread as a snippet by 'social media'. At this point the truth hardly matters of course, but the Neo-Babylonian empire isn't exactly 'Persian'...]

"The contract comes just days after OpenAI's Chief Product Officer Kevin Weil and former OpenAI Chief Revenue Officer Bob McGrew were officially sworn into the US Army Reserve as lieutenant colonels. The CTOs of Palantir and Meta did likewise and joined the newly formed Detachment 201..."

[meanwhile]

absolutely wilding out at the idea of air fryers that do NOT respect your right to privacy

All governments are imperfect but they are NOT "all the same". The lazy trope that "it doesn't matter who you vote for" isn't just false; it feeds the nihilism on which the radical right prey. It's like a burning tyre, coating everything in acrid smoke, choking off any meaningful democratic choice
