It is with overwhelming grief that I must tell you that Diana Rose, my beautiful, brilliant and brave life partner of half a century, died last night after a lengthy period of ill health. We will celebrate her remarkable life later; for now please hold her in your hearts and your thoughts.

A chilling account of targeted bombing in contemporary warfare and the role of Palentir: www.theguardian.com/news/2026/ma...

AI got the blame for the Iran school bombing. The truth is far more worrying

LLMs-gone-rogue dominated coverage, but had nothing to do with the targeting. Instead, it was choices made by human beings, over many years, that gave us this atrocity

Pope Francis chose that name after Saint Francis of Assisi, the barefoot radical who gave up his wealth to live among lepers, animals, & the poor. A man who didn’t see nature as a resource, but as “a mirror of God.” In a world where profit trumps life, that name was a provocation.
