(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

Why is some nationalised defence manufacturing capacity not considered? It can repurpose sites, provide well-paid jobs, revitalise areas. It used to be the norm, for obvious national security reasons, esp during wars. It counts towards defence spend %GDP, but is neutral(ish) on the balance sheet.

While I instinctively recoil from anything using Kissinger quotes, this is shocking and - most upsettingly - probably accurate, in my humble opinion (which is as good as most other I guess!)...

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

I admit to being frightfully uninformed about the Greek financial crisis, so read this to swot up - and I'm glad I did. It reads like a thriller (more so for those, like me, with no clue as to the ins and outs). But be warned, it's heartbreaking. 😔 Amazing, @yanisvaroufakis.bsky.social, thank you.

This is an amazingly powerful point on communication - and one that is ignored by almost every non-GOP/Conservative/Reform politician in the US and UK. Yes, it's a bit populist, but at least it has the benefit of being fecking TRUE!

And for the third straight day, the rest of the legacy media did nothing to stand up for the First Amendment. No boycott, no walkout, nothing but business as usual. Then, they wonder why people are canceling subscriptions and turning off their TV's while independent news outlets are thriving.

It's very easy to jump on the bandwagon of wanting to abolish this awful 'socialism'. It's HUGE in the UK. Then, as folks realise this means the NHS they rely on constantly, and expect to be tip-top, they have no idea what to say. And this includes MPs (an experience I will write about one day).

I have just finished reading Danielle Sassoon’s memorandum in its entirety. It is a tour de force. Its correctness is obvious. She’s an American hero. Emil Bove ought to be investigated by his state’s bar association for discipline and possible disbarment, at least.

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth. The divestment movement weakened apartheid South Africa. Let's do that again. slate.com/business/202...
