UK banks paid “advance commissions” to car dealers, encouraged them to push costlier loans to consumers. Now banks face a possible compensation bill of £44bn, which govt is trying to obstruct. Anything that banks have not mis-sold, as execs chase bonuses but bear no responsibility.

If true then the US is now a genuine Russia-style mafia state. Russia extorts with energy-, the US with tech-dependence. I trust the conclusions we draw from this will also turn into a semblance of policy.

A former student of mine is missing. She’s really a sweet girl. It says she may have travelled to London with a man. She’s only 16. It’s the kind of story you dread. Any Londoners out there please keep an eye out.

Never trust anyone who tells you they're a genius. They're either a liar or actually a moron.

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

There are people who worship AI without question, seeing it as a messiah to abstract all accountability and responsibility. There are other people who see AI as a useful tool that can be used to help in some situations, its suggestions should always be triple checked, validated and verified.

Nice place [Ukraine] you got there. Be a shame if something [ongoing Russian war crimes] happened to it [unless you give us half of your mineral wealth].

Space Karen’s fragile ego on full display as he blows up at astronaut and former SpaceX pilot Andreas Morgenson for calling him out over one of his many obvious lies.

This is a poor headline from the BBC. The US aren't offering a "deal" - they want the minerals in return for support already given. It's straight up extortion.

NEW: A regional FEMA chief of staff took Elon Musk's Fork in the Road offer. He has proof of receipt. But they didn't honor it. Instead, they fired him 13 days later. Now, this retired Navy captain is speaking out. www.thebulwark.com/p/musk-doge-...

NEW: The Department of Energy this week minimized its quickly-reversed firings of NNSA officials as having hit "primarily administrative and clerical" employees. In reality, those locked out included the agency's top authority for all nuclear-safety matters. Today's newsletter:

@coffeezilla.bsky.social It's amazing that the crypto space that was supposed to be different, is doing the same / worse rug pulls and sniping that regular banks do when they have IPO launches. Shame there's a conman in the oval office gutting oversight & wanting more scamming of regular folks.

"I, a professional political commentator, was so excited about Trump persecuting minorities and trashing the climate that I was completely oblivious to his obvious sympathy with Putin. Please pay me for my political analysis." I mean, rejoice over every sinner who repents and all that, but come on

Now why would an imperialist Trump/Musk want to raid / extort Ukraine / Canada / Greenland? Should we ask Bolivia? 🤔

Trump tells more lies about Ukraine: "We had a deal based on rare earth and things, but they broke that deal. They broke it two days ago, we had a deal." Wrong. Trump proposed that Ukraine hand over $500 billion worth of natural resources, without any US security guarantees. Zelensky rejected it.
