(1/3) People want leaks? Let's talk about leaks of the evil resident variety.

Breaking in the news just now is a secret society of the rich in America, a group known as Dialog, which was Peter Thiel's private society of powerful figures in US politics, finance, & tech, half of a

Was wondering what those uninvestigated/unprosecuted in & around the Epstein Files have been up to. Attending exclusive supervillain conventions engaging in "curious" discourse, it seems. Unsurprisingly, leaked attendee list heavily right-wing + smattering of the usual sus libs.

[WIRED @WIRED]

More than 200 of the world's elites registered for a retreat whose agenda runs from panels on cult-building and sex to prepping for World War III. An associated app offers matchmaking. https://t.co/ib53DjHHE6

People love to moan about taxes. But, US taxes owed yet never paid annually equal a whopping $600 - 700 billion. And know how much it'd cost annually to lift ALL out of poverty, ending hunger, homelessness, the many pains of poverty, & subsequently most crime? Only $200 billion.

[House Judiciary Dems @HouseJudiciary]

Judiciary Democrats have uncovered that FBI Director Kash Patel directed over $1 MILLION in unlawful taxpayer-funded bonuses to a small group of MAGA agents and members of Patel’s personal security detail.

Late to WIDOW'S BAY, which ends its 1st season tomorrow, but 2nd episode is sooo much better than the 1st. Way funnier. And creepier when it gets to the spookiness, which it sets up very cleverly & amusingly. 1st episode to 2nd is like a 6/10 to 8.25/10 jump. Throughly intrigued.

Iran's World Cup team forced to play in US without coaching staff (denied entry!), after 5hr+ same-day admission/expulsion processes meant to humiliate & exhaust, and dealing w/ constant VISA "issues" demonstrates the petty cruelty often the point with Trump's admin--same in ICE.

🚨🇮🇷 BREAKING — World Cup “Disaster”

Mohammad Mohebi and Mehri Taremi Say:

“Not to Make Excuses but This Is Not a Fair Competition.”

Iranian Players argued they should arrive 2 days before matches instead of traveling, training, and playing while exhausted by 5 hours in Immigration Controls and Transit.

Clear, open-air example how the systems that govern and shape our lives have been, and are acceleratingly moreso, a circlejerk of systems twisted, warped, and/or fake to expand and protect the assets of the ultrawealthy and their levers of control over the world and its people.

BREAKING: SpaceX is now worth more than Amazon.

SpaceX market cap is $2.75 trillion, Amazon's is $2.65 trillion.

Amazon's profits were $78 billion last year. SpaceX lost $5 billion last year.

Charlamagne asks Hasan Piker if Israel has a right to exist on The Breakfast Club

"I think Israel in its current formation as a settler colonial operation seeking out the complete extermination of the indigenous population, as an apartheid state, does not have a right to exist."

If UK's ban on social media for under-16s was about protecting kids, it wouldn't be so simple/dumb, denying resources informative/enriching in formative years & expanding mass surveillance w digital ID. Example how political policy is oft Trojan Horse, true intentions obfuscated.

[Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz]

Studies in AUS found that since the social media ban went into effect teenagers are significantly less educated on news and events and more ignorant on what’s going on in the world. This is the goal. Western govts saw the rise of the information age and are seeking to quash it

Hollywood is finally re-learning the lesson it learned 50 years ago: playing it safe with big budget films bores audiences. Give the younger creatives with new ideas a smaller budget to make something different.

It's literally what gave us Star Wars in 1977.

Either that or the massive gambling corruption ring having their "Golden Age" on prediction markets these days put the pressure on Cormier quick.

[Kcin. @Kcin_Point]

Calling it: Nothing will happen with the Daniel Cormier v Eric Trump thing because it was all just a publicity stunt for the event.

Astonishing the internet managed to build out & expand as much & for as long as it did toward genuine public utility before hostile takeover by all the shit that's fucked up the real world, e.g. commercialization. Used to be a net good. Now, IDK. A new, even more terrible beast.

“Capitalism gave us the internet.”

Large-scale cooperation, open protocols, and free software gave us the internet. Capitalism gave us mobile sites that don't work because fifteen ads cover the screen.
