A desperate mosasaur beaches itself after being chased all night by a Cretaceous kraken Nanaimoteuthis that squirted bioluminiscent ink-mucus on it to turn it into a glowing target. Who's patience will outlast who's? :B
A Colorado driver keeps getting pulled over because of Flock camera alerts.
Every time he passes a camera, police are told where he is and that he has a warrant.
He doesn’t. And he can’t get it fixed.

MI6 USED TORTURE CONFESSIONS
Craig Murray (@CraigMurrayOrg) was Britain's Ambassador to Uzbekistan from 2002 to 2004. What he found there was a dictatorship where people were boiled alive, tortured, and then had their confessions handed to MI6 and the CIA as usable intelligence.
Murray did what you're supposed to do. He wrote formal complaints to the Foreign Office. He said, on the record, that it is morally and legally wrong to take intelligence extracted under torture. He highlighted a case where two men were boiled to death and the evidence pointed straight at state-sanctioned murder.
The Foreign Office's response was to summon him back to London, hit him with 18 disciplinary charges, and tell him to resign. He refused. The charges were quietly dropped. Then they removed him from his post anyway in October 2004. Just in case you thought the message got lost.
While the allegations were eventually dropped, Murray suffered a breakdown and a pulmonary embolism in the process. The British state didn't just end his career. It nearly ended his life.
His internal document, later leaked to the Financial Times, confirmed that MI6 was using CIA-sourced intelligence obtained from Uzbek authorities through torture. It was written down. By an ambassador. And the response was to destroy the man who wrote it.
Murray's superiors were told in plain terms that this intelligence was unreliable because it had been obtained through torture. They used it anyway. Then they smeared him in the press as a drunk and a rogue diplomat.
He subsequently wrote Murder in Samarkand, a memoir that blew the whole thing open. He won the Sam Adams Award for integrity in intelligence. The US government later denied him entry under the visa waiver programme with no stated reason. The only countries that had ever barred him from entry were Uzbekistan and the United States of America. Think about that for a second.
This is what whistleblowing in the national security space actually looks like. Not a Hollywood ending.

🚨Israel assassinated Imad Miqdad yesterday in a drone strike, targeting his solar-powered phone charging station in Gaza yesterday.
Miqdad had been providing civilians with a rare means of communication amid ongoing electricity cuts.
The strike killed him and destroyed the facility, further limiting access to basic services and connectivity for residents.
Let this sink in:
Congress is about to extend US veterans’ benefits to Americans who served in the ISRAELI military and partook in the genocide in Gaza...

BREAKING: Western leaders who were dead silent when Iranian politicians were murdered during peace negotiations (certain leaders (👇) even famously denounced international law and were happy “the dirty work was being done for them”) are SHOCKED about violence against politicians.
After a completely manufactured display of 'remorse' over the desecration of a cross in the southern Lebanese village of Debel, Israeli forces are demolishing parts of the border town, bulldozing solar panels that supply electricity and power its water station.
