"Unused ventilators bought for £135m during Covid auctioned off for less than £1.5m"

The lack of accountability in our political system is just staggering.https://t.co/AqY3r19tDU

An interesting comparison here is that the largest West African barges could carry about as much cargo as Portuguese caravels of the 15th/16th century (60-90 tons)

Like the ones used by Christopher Columbus

The claim that Africa lacked navigable waterways is mostly nonsense

NEW: I wrote a small guide explaining how to archive things you see online and why you should. Archiving is essential for journalists, researchers and activists, and the more of us who get in the habit of archiving what we find, the better.

Madison Square Garden Kept a List of Gay Celebrities

An MSG database tracked hundreds of celebs, Knicks superfans, and even some of Taylor Swift’s wedding guests. Labels included “LGBTQIA,” “DO NOT HOST,” and low to high “risk.”

Meta is currently testing "super sensing" AI glasses that will continuously record surrounding audio while snapping pictures every few seconds.

The new hardware also gets rid of the LED light that notifies bystanders when the glasses are recording.

There's a mystery behind these soapstone birds that we have yet to uncover

They are, in fact, the only objects that are completely unique to Great Zimbabwe; none of the 1,000+ ruins in southern Africa have anything similar

These two scumbags, Aaron Pinder in the navy blue hoodie and Callum Ryder, smashed a 62-year-old British Black woman’s window in Birmingham to intimidate her.

One of their mates was recently charged and fined after video evidence showed him assaulting the woman, racially abusing her verbally, and throwing dog faeces into her garden.

It has been reported to @WMPolice, but she believes they have not been very helpful.

A Nigerian teenager was thrown in prison at 14 years old and his name was changed by the police and prison officials so that his family will never find him.

He was only released 18 years later. Why is this story not trending? Jesus!

Chelsea and Westminster is the poster child for Palantir – the first hospital to use its tech.

Publicly it claims to have cut waiting lists there by 183,000.

But we found out its actual waiting list has skyrocketed by one of the highest rates in the country.

What's going on?

We've been quiet recently because Mark Goodwin and I have been working to write the most comprehensive investigation into Polymarket's origins and ambitions to date.

We found that Polymarket's "official" origin story, that Shayne Coplan founded the company alone in 2020 and then built "the company in his bathroom", is a lie. Polymarket really started years earlier as another company called TokenBnk that was deeply tied to Israeli interests, specifically a crypto company founded by Benjamin Netanyahu's niece and nephew. Coplan has actively tried to obfuscate this company from his story and it's not the only thing either.

In Part 1 of this two-part series, we unravel the real history of Polymarket, directly connecting the company to Peter Thiel's efforts to resurrect controversial DARPA programs from its now defunct Information Awareness Office. Polymarket appears to have been chosen by Thiel and his associates to succeed in resurrecting DARPA's Policy Analysis Market where another Thiel-linked company, Augur, had previously failed.

Stay tuned for Part 2, where we explore the current influence of prediction markets and Polymarket, including how an insidious effort to have prediction markets replace representative democracy as a governance model is already being slowly implemented by the White House.

Starmer's chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, set up astroturf groups to persuade advertisers to boycott the Canary website and so stifle close-to-the-bone criticisms of Starmer. The Canary has suffered financially ever since.

Now Lloyds Bank has inexplicably de-banked them.

Don't expect the British establishment to play fair. It's got a democracy to hollow out, a genocide to support, and a planet to pillage.

NEW: The Board of Directors at the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) will formally change its definition of who qualifies as a journalist, to broadly exclude slain Palestinian and Lebanese journalists who worked for government-funded media outlets. Israeli, American, and Ukrainian journalists who work for state-funded outlets or are embedded with the military will remain recognized as journalists, of course.

The move was catalyzed to appease the right-wing Zionist rag The Free Beacon, which has repeatedly accused Palestinian and Lebanese journalists of being undercover militants or used their political opinions or affiliations as justification for their killing by the IOF.

This is a racist scandal of massive proportions for everyone involved, and it makes a mockery of the purported mission of the organization. It is absolutely abhorrent that the organization’s resources are wasted on this cowardly witch-hunt, at a moment in history that is the deadliest for journalists, especially in Palestine and Lebanon.
