Israel blocks ambulances in the West Bank again. Shoots Palestinians, then seals off medical access so they bleed out and die. Deliberate. Sadistic. State policy. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🇮🇱🤬🤬🤬🇮🇱♾️

This marks the 54th death of an immigrant in ICE custody under Trump 2.0. On top of that, another 41 were shot-with 11 more dead-in so-called immigration enforcement actions It’s not an immigration policy. It’s a purge

I’m glad that ABC News put “medical emergency“ in quotes, since ICE lies as a matter of policy.

MEMPHIS: “A mechanical contractor who helped build Elon Musk’s Memphis-area data centers at breakneck speed says SpaceXAI is dragging its feet on paying his company for work performed since 2024…owes his company more than $136 million…” www.actionnews5.com/2026/08/01/c...

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani has unveiled a new plan to cover 30% of the city with trees by 2040. And I’m quite positive that MAGA lunatics are losing their collective shit over the idea of more nature instead of dirty poisonous coal.

The richest person in the world, an avowed white supremacist, today again posted "the next step is getting rid of 'source code' entirely and just making an efficient binary directly with AI" because he has no idea how anything works, not even the basics of industries he is in.

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

Trump Moves to Cut Off Student Loans for Tons of Degrees

Under a new rule, if your degree doesn’t make enough money, you won’t be able to get a student loan.

The world of CRISPR is bursting open! Another application for CRISPR- To target mutated proteins that were previously deemed "undruggable" or difficult to target. This has been applied to treat HPV driven head & neck cancers. The goal is to take this to a clinical trial. 🧪 archive.today/n4QAc

Nigel Farage just took a question from a 'journalist' at his press conference, who turned out to be his former chief adviser Raheem Kassam, who asks him why the media are being so unfair to him

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

did you ever eat a really delicious sandwich and over the years you’ve tried others but they always fall short? that bc your memory of the sandwich isn’t real so the reality can never live up to that memory. anyhoo, that same analogy goes for everything else in life, too.

Hassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."

“You don’t have to have a full pantry or a stocked fridge when everything you need for a tasty dish is right there beneath your skin,” said Robert F. Kennedy Jr., searing his left kidney in a skillet as several of his elbow ligaments roasted in the oven.

UEFA has more balls than the US congress.

Mark Chadbourn@chadbourn.bsky.social · 4d ago

UEFA has given FIFA President Gianni Infantino an ultimatum: resign or face a no-confidence vote, The Telegraph reports . It says all 55 members would back it. Only 43 votes are needed.

Democracy being unravelled in plain sight.

The UK gov is almost able to make protest untenable now. You can only protest if you are invisible. UK has made political prisoners of Grannies and church folk holding signs. The UK’s slide to illiberalism is better dressed than the US version, but it’s the same trajectory.

The case against former Olympian David Hearn collapsed after prosecutors said newly released records pointed to contractor mistakes, not vandalism, as the source of damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. That's a remarkable reversal after weeks of public blame.

The issue not just that Anthropic let its AI get onto the internet and hack other companies, but also that it went months without being uncovered (and only because OpenAI disclosed a similar thing)
