Shocking new piece of sportswashing reported in @privateeyenews: Bahrain has recruited an all-star team of triathletes and called it Bahrain Victorious 13, thus obliterating search mentions of the "Bahrain 13," a group of political prisoners from the Arab Spring.

Thread - I've been thinking a lot about Walter Lippmann’s Public Opinion lately, especially in the context of Musk’s role in dismantling the federal workforce through DOGE. It’s a perfect example of what Lippmann warned about over a century ago.

Le Monde published an article titled "Without the US, Ukraine Would Barely Last Six Months Against Russia." My readers know that I have been accurate in most of my frontline assessments, to the point that some call me a pessimist, so it's hard to accuse me of painting a rosy picture for Ukraine

If you’d asked AI to write a piece of Russian propaganda in the style of Donald Trump, this is what you’d get. Well done America, you’ve elected a Russian asset as your President.

Pretty disturbed by some of the Kremlin framing on the Trump talks being bought by parts of the media worldwide. It’s as if the genesis of the war is entirely forgotten. This isn’t a conflict which needs mediation. It was an unprovoked act of aggression. It could end tomorrow if Putin just withdrew.

There’s often silence (or worse) on Ukraine from anti-imperialist activists who rightly denounce resource extraction, refusal of representation & denial of sovereignty when victims were exploited by “the West.” It’s worth thinking critically about why this oversight persists.

This is true. A pal of mine who is a policeman went to a Scottish island recently to investigate a missing person and when the locals found out he was a Christian they stuck him in a giant human-shaped willow branch construction and burned him alive.

It’s a cliché to say it—and no two historical scenarios offer a perfectly compelling analogy—but what each American is doing now is what they’d be doing were they a German living in Germany and were it 1936-38 There’s no more doubt about who the appeasers or the bad guys are—they’re in the open now

"The radical right in the US is not engaged in a grand geopolitical strategy. It is pursuing an ideological campaign against its true enemy, which is not China or Russia but liberalism. The Trump administration hates liberals at home and liberal democracies abroad." open.substack.com/pub/nickcohe...

According to Half-Life writer Marc Laidlaw and Arkane co-founder Raphael Colantonio, the immensely talented Bulgarian art director Viktor Antonov died recently. 😭 He was only 52. He worked with Valve and Arkane on HL 2 and Dishonored, but also on the animated movies Renaissance & The Prodigies.

By the way, you absolutely cannot separate the celebration discourse from the fact that it is happening after a young, black man celebrated in a way that people say they don’t like. I have some ideas about what it is they actually don’t like and it’s not the celebrating itself.

This widely shared image of Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Benjamin Netanyahu, which has also been shared by some major news sources, is AI-generated and fake. Among the sings of AI generation are distorted faces in the background, deformed fingers, and Trump's and Netanyahu's merging arms.
