Zo zie je maar hoe ingrijpend de gevolgen kunnen zijn van militair ingrijpen in gevoelige regio's.

“Soleimani’s killing in a January 2020 US drone strike in Baghdad was a game changer.The Axis lost the driving force behind the unity of the fronts plan, which began to drift, and 3 Hezbollah sources suggest this is what eventually prompted Hamas to take matters into its own hands on 7 October 2023”

trans rights frankly is a top 5, potentially top 3 issue for me despite not being trans and not having any trans family being bigoted against trans folks not only hurts my trans friends and every trans person but is so predictive of further bigotry

Cities dismantled their tram networks to become “motor cities of the future”. The result? You could travel further within 30 mins via public transport in 1957 than you can in 2026. Cities are seeking billions to rebuild networks. Incredible piece of work this.

If you stood on Briggate at 8am on a weekday in 1957, and stood there again in 2026, in which year could you reach more of the city in half an hour? Samuel Bancroft has crunched the numbers. Since the 1950s, Leeds has got bigger - but the city has effectively shrunk.

One of the biggest misunderstandings of politics in our time is that the Left has become all about identity politics. The opposite is the case. The Left has (nearly everywhere) completely given up on shaping, representing, and mobilizing identities. Instead, the far right has successfully done it.

"The right rarely starts with ideology. It starts with identity. It starts with the feeling that somebody understands your frustrations. Agreement comes later. The right isn’t just building audiences. It’s building participants. It isn’t trying to persuade. It’s trying to join them."

The flyovers will continue until this happens. Because there is a long history of military aviation mishaps where the causal thread is someone thinking that the rules—always written in someone else’s blood—don’t apply to them, and they push the rules until someone new bleeds.

Given that around 70–80% of all cargo transiting the Strait of Hormuz are fossil fuels, Trump has now effectively introduced a carbon tax of 20%. Well done.

Another great example of how AI is killing the incentive to actually provide any of the data AI requires to be any good at anything

“Just before the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, there were more than 100,000 monthly questions asked on [Stack Overflow]; last month, there were fewer than 1,500. And the response rate, once around 80 per cent, has been cut in half.” Genuinely shocking. This is what LLMs were trained on, now it’s dead.

How do we get Trump back on board? Got it! Israel recently shared intelligence with the US indicating Iran may be considering a new plan to assassinate President Trump, the WSJ reports.
