New: cops are using Flock to track people, not cars. We reviewed Flock search data and found many, many cases of cops searching for people based on their appearance, race, tattoos, etc. Some searches are so vague like "tall man" that innocent people likely swept up www.404media.co/how-cops-use...

How Cops Use Flock to Track People, Not Cars

Cops have used Flock's FreeForm search feature to look for people with tattoos and wearing specific sport shirts, and searches sometimes include the target's race, according to data reviewed by 404 Me...

Brent above $85. European gas back over €50/MWh as Hormuz escalates again. A reminder: A fifth of global oil and LNG passes through that strait. Every heat pump, EV and electrified factory shrinks this exposure. Electrons made at home cannot be blockaded in a shipping lane.

«It found that TotalEnergies’ investment strategies, industrial choices, and energy portfolio directly shape the emissions that follow. The consumer alibi, the industry’s most lucrative fiction, is over.» Hva dette betyr for Norge og Oljefondet blir spennende å se.

“Europe is struggling through climate breakdown. France’s heatwave shut schools and stretched hospitals past their limits, with so many people dying in their apartments that morgues have run out of space. Outdoor workers have faced conditions beyond what the human body can safely withstand.”

As Europe swelters, Paris judges say consumers aren’t to blame — TotalEnergies is

A Paris judicial tribunal has just ruled on a case brought against TotalEnergies by environmental groups and the City of Paris. The judgment does not halt the company's fossil-fuel expansion. But it d...

They say books won’t change the world. Tell that to every colonizer who burned them. To every enslaved person who was punished for reading. Literacy is resistance. Literacy is liberation. The library is a battlefield.

Since the start of the war Europe has (literally) funded russia more than Ukraine. I don’t have the links but the analysis is readily available if you go search for it. This is one reason why. We are funding an enemy that is spending billions undermining us and trillions destroying Ukraine.

Buttigieg: You can see it in the carnival of corruption that is Washington, D.C., today. The leader of the free world flying around in a secondhand jumbo jet from a foreign country while he makes a billion dollars on crypto deals propped up by foreign leaders.

Denne evige diskusjonen om gående kontra syklister på fortauet i 6, 8 eller 15 km/t bommer fullstendig på problemet. Seriøst, vi er knapt en fare for hverandre, men myke trafikanter blir gang på gang drept eller hardt skadet av biler og lastebiler overalt, og i alle hastigheter.

Jeg bestakk denne statssekræren med en kopp kaffe, men uten hell. Det eneste jeg fikk ut av det, var et inntrykk (hun sa det ikke direkte) av at 6 km/t-regelen var Hareides personlige, fikse idé, som han insisterte på å gjennomføre tross motforestilinger fra vegdirektoratet.

Dette er samme strategi som #PizzaGate og #Rigged. Dikt opp anklager om «motstanderen» for ting du selv enten driver med eller planlegger. Dette er en del av forberedelsene til å øke den politiske forfølgelsen i USA. Dette er Straight Outta Goebbels. Om du ikke ser det er du blind.

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Rutte "You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

Why did several European intelligence services fail to anticipate Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine? This piece about the Dutch AIVD & MIVD argues that they overly trusted a - misleading - source in the Russian security establishment and failed to listen to concise warnings by US/UK colleagues.

‘Unique source’ blinded Dutch intelligence agencies to Putin’s invasion: ‘What a fuck-up’

Despite persistent warnings from American and British officials, the Dutch intelligence agencies refused to believe Putin would invade Ukraine in 2022. An investigation by de Volkskrant reveals how th...

Verdens dårligste regissør har laget en film som nesten ingen mener er verdt å se. På under en uke har filmen likevel utløst en transatlantisk konflikt om ytringsfrihet og en bitter politisk debatt om Europas framtid, det har jeg skrevet et essay om i Minerva i dag. #citizenvigilante

Microsoft is laying off 4,800 workers today. Its CEO made $96.5M in 2025, a 22% increase from the previous year. Microsoft made $101B in net income last year — and raked in up to $12.5B in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill. This is what a rigged system looks like.

Man, when I worked for the government, I was told I could not have a sandwich if it wasn't available to everyone so as not to give the appearance of a bribe. Those were the days, all those 532 days ago. We were such a young and naive country back then.
