Good overview of the Far Right actors involved in last month’s pogroms in Belfast. Neo-Nazis, a convicted murderer, a Far Right agitator with potential connections to British intelligence etc None of this is a secret. They’re comfortable enough being out in the open in 2026.
For the last few hours, I've Been working on a bot that automatically tracks Bills' statuses in Congress for those who want to keep a quick track of politics. (We all should be). Other than a few eye candy, it's done. @billonthefloor.blacksky.app

Or better yet, "Trump is getting rich by defrauding his supporters."
Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · last mo.Dear Wall Street Journal, It‘s tiresome when you assign a selfish horse-race motive to everything that happens in politics. Yes, Democrats are “seizing on Trump’s soaring wealth.” But it‘s more than a “campaign opportunity“ — they’re appalled by a crook ruining our country.
Here's my full interview with CNBC, covering my bear case against generative AI, OpenAI's questionable finances, AI's lack of ROI, and how all of this is a symptom of the tech industry running out of hypergrowth ideas. It's great to see the mainstream media discussing this. youtu.be/TtmPccUTDP8?...

Baby otter at a UK rescue center learns to dive after overcoming its fear of water.😍
I can't say for sure because I'm not an AI expert myself but I think most people with hot takes on AI don't know what they're talking about, this includes pro, anti, and "reasonable centrists" lecturing both sides. You're not a politician you don't have to take stands on topics you don't know about
