Starmer’s national child-lock plan is a total reshaping of modern civil liberty.

If his Great British Firewall becomes a reality, future generations will not remember it as a child safety policy.

This is the kind of thing the international community condemns China or North Korea for doing. Anyone who thinks we’re still a free country is completely deluded.

I get rugged by this. It’s the only app that I trust. But she absolutely should. The spiralling embarrassment of being a U.K. citizen is palpable now and it will take legitimate technologies leaving us in the dark ages to demonstrate how regressive and foolish these policies are.

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

This is what the UK spyware proposal means.

There must be government spyware on every mobile device. It shall watch everything that happens, including always watching the screen, looking for things the government disapproves of.

When anything is flagged by the software as something the government doesn't like, the software must block it from being sent or displayed (in realtime).

The user of the device must not be able to shut this watching and blocking off. The only way to shut it off would be to ask the government or its proxies to do so for you, at their discretion.

Therefore the whole device must be locked down. Administrator rights and the decision of what software or operating system to run or not to run must be taken from the owner/user and handed to the government and its proxies.

Apple and Google are themselves working hard to lock down the devices they are involved in to shut out competition and establish a duopoly.

The UK government says it is "working closely" with Apple and Google and currently they synchronise and coordinate their communication on this subject.

The UK government is now proposing to mandate what would otherwise be illegal anti-competitive practices.

Albania has officially drawn the
line, Sazan 'lsland is being cleared. In an stunning turn of events, Albanian authorities have
launched an active enforcement operation to kick
out foreign developers and private security
personnel occupying Sazan Island. The decisive
action marks a total collapse of the controversial €1.4 billion luxury real estate deal that aimed to turn the protected national marine reserve and
former military base into an exclusive private playground for global elites,
The eviction comes after four consecutive weeks of historic
hundred-thousand-strong protests that completely
shut down the capital city of Tirana, refusing to allow their native coastlines and ecologically sensitive wetlands to be privatized by foreign
investors, the Albanian public unified under a
single, unyielding demand: "Albania is not for sale, the courts faced with a historic political crisis, mounting
domestic fury, and a widening anti-corruption
investigation by special prosecutors (SPAK), the
government was forced to pivot, by deploying state forces to reclaim Sazan lsland, Albania has
sent a clear message to international billionaires
and foreign developers trying to bypass environmental protection laws, This historic victory for citizen-led activism proves that the collective voice of a nation can successfully overpower backroom corporate deals and protect sovereign land.
The people spoke, and the
government had to listen.

2 billion years ago, a nuclear reactor geologically self-assembled and turned itself on.

No humans were involved. Only rock, groundwater, & natural uranium.

It ran intermittently for hundreds of thousands of years.

It is hard to downplay the wealth transfer and liquidity event upcoming with the SpaceX IPO.

The rules were changed specifically for SpaceX to be included in the major indices before profitability and before extended public trading.

That means nearly half of all early SpaceX shares will be required to be bought by passive index funds (think QQQ, VOO, SPY, VTI).

The holders of these funds (401Ks, ETF holders, savers) will be auto-buying the SpaceX float, teeing up exit liquidity for Silicon Valley and Elon-adjacent insiders who own the majority of SpaceX shares and will be able to sell after 3 months.

This will be a major, major event for widening the already extreme wealth gap between insiders/elites and the rest of the world.

Spins can be deadly. In the earliest days of aviation, nobody knew how to get out of one. If you got in a spin, you just died.

Then in 1912 or 1916 (date varies), a British mathematician / pilot came up with an idea to get out of a spin.

A test pilot volunteered to try. Risky, but it worked…then he climbed back up, spun his plane in the opposite direction & recovered that, too, in front of an awed audience.

During WWI, British pilots were taught to deliberately enter a spin if they found themselves on the losing end of a dogfight. German pilots would break off the attack, expecting to see their prey auger in…but to their surprise, the British pilots would recover. By then, they were out of range of the German airplane.

Five cancers that used to be death sentences. Pancreatic. Glioblastoma. Triple-negative breast. Renal. Melanoma. The median survival for metastatic pancreatic cancer is still 6 months. Glioblastoma, 15 months.

Now personalized mRNA vaccines are producing complete remissions in some of these patients. Not responses. Remissions.

BioNTech’s pancreatic cancer vaccine has 6-year follow-up data. 8 of 16 patients who mounted an immune response are still alive. For a cancer that kills 95% of patients within 5 years, that's incredible.

Topol’s pyramid here maps the trajectory. From broad checkpoint inhibitors at the base to personalized neoantigen vaccines at the peak. The technology is climbing.

So yesterday Donald Trump posted a video of him crashing Stephen Colbert's final show, and literally throwing him in the garbage, and of course, I had to FIX it.

Keir Starmer, "On Brexit, the reason I reminded everyone of what Nigel Farage said was because that was the promise he put to the country"

"That we'd be stronger, we'd be richer, we'd have lots of money for the NHS, immigration will come down"

"It all proved to be false"

"Farage is not going back to the country now and saying it was a good thing, you've all benefited"

"Farage will talk about almost anything else apart from the consequences of the one thing he delivered for the country, Brexit"

"Farage doesn't want to talk about it, and there's a reason for that, it didn't help working people"

"It turns out what he said wasn't true"

"That's why Farage doesn't want to talk about Brexit"

"But we have to talk about it now because we have to address the situation we are in"

"We have to give this country a stronger economy, a stronger defence and security arrangement given the world we live in"

"That's why I said what I said about being closer to Europe"

"And this government being defined by bringing Europe back together and the UK at the heart of Europe"
