As a Japanese watching the UK right now, I have one simple question.

A Sudanese asylum seeker just tried to behead a local man in Belfast. The victim lost an eye.

This comes after years of grooming gangs raping thousands of British girls — gangs that police and councils deliberately ignored because they were afraid of being called racist.

In Japan, even one case like this would have triggered national outrage and immediate policy reversal.

But in Britain, the conversation is still about “not being far-right.”

British people, at what point does protecting your own children become more important than protecting your reputation?

We genuinely do not understand this.

My wife and I were talking last night about groceries.

I went back into my Walmart app and pulled up an order from January 2020.

30 items. $70.20.

I added every single one back to the cart today.

$165.42.
Same 30 items. Same store. Same cart.
$95 more, In six years.

They told us inflation was temporary. They told us it was under control. They told us the economy was recovering.

My grocery bill didn’t get the memo.

135% increase in six years and nobody in Washington has missed a single meal.

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.

"Slaves owned by the pharaoh of Egypt were required to pay him 20% of their income."

"Fast forward to 2025. The average U.S. taxpayer pays 24.8% tax."

"On top of this, you pay sales tax, property tax, gas tax, and many other taxes."

"The slaves in Egypt were doing better than we're being taxed."

"Wake up, America. You're being robbed, you're being cheated, and you're being lied to."

California voters banned gestation crates in 2018. Sixty-three percent. Massachusetts did it in 2016. Seventy-eight percent. The pork industry sued both times and lost all the way to the Supreme Court.

So they did what you do when democracy keeps saying no. They added a provision to the House farm bill to nullify both state laws and preempt any future state effort to do the same thing. One industry. One provision. Millions of votes erased.

The largest pork producer in America is Smithfield. Smithfield is owned by a Chinese company. Congress just passed a House farm bill that overrides the will of American voters in order to protect a Chinese corporation's right to confine pregnant pigs in cages too small to turn around for their entire lives.

This is not a close call on the merits. Eighty-four percent of Americans in polling called that practice unacceptable. Tomi Lahren called the Save Our Bacon provision unprintable things. Mike Cernovich called it demonic. When an industry loses the argument with 84 percent of the public, loses in court, loses at the ballot box twice, and still wins in Congress... that is not democracy. That is a purchasing decision.

The Senate still has a vote. The conference committee still has a choice. The question is whether Congress works for the American electorate or for the National Pork Producers Council and the Chinese company that owns Smithfield.

How do I know the media is brainwashing people?

Obama's ICE Chief received the Presidential Award for Distinguished Service for removing over 900,000 illegal aliens.

Trump's ICE Chief is called a Nazi.

It is the same person.....Tom Homan....

The only difference? The narrative.

[SULLY @SULLY10X]

The Asian Longhorn Tick has managed to get all the way from East Asia to the U.S. It has just been detected in Alabama, and is actively spreading across the Southeast.

A single female can clone herself and lay thousands of eggs without a male. Populations explode rapidly. The ticks swarm livestock and pets in such massive numbers that they can cause fatal blood loss.

If you find a tick, secure it to a card with cellophane tape and report it to your veterinarian immediately for species identification.

@zdotconnector @drtaubraun @TheoVon What brand?

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

The reason we think dandelions are weeds is because of a 1950s marketing campaign.

Dandelions, native to Europe and Asia, were brought to North America in the 1600s by European colonists who grew them deliberately.

Every part is edible. The leaves are a salad green, the flowers were made into wine, and the roots were roasted as a coffee substitute and used medicinally for liver and kidney conditions for thousands of years. They were a kitchen-garden staple well into the 1800s.

The shift happened after World War II, when 2,4-D (originally developed for chemical warfare research) was approved as a residential herbicide. Companies like Scotts built the modern lawn-care industry around the idea that a perfect green lawn meant zero broadleaf plants.

Dandelions, being bright yellow and resistant to mowing, became a visible enemy, and the campaign worked. By the 1970s, "dandelion-free" was synonymous with "well-kept."

They aren't native, but they aren't doing significant ecological harm either. The herbicides used to kill them, on the other hand, kill bees, contaminate groundwater, and have been linked to non-Hodgkin lymphoma in humans.

If you hate dandelions, it's most likely due to a marketing campaign that ran before you were born.

The only thing that stops violent men from raping you and your society are other men who are equally willing to be violent in stopping the rapists. The West has decided that the highest virtue is to quietly comply with the destruction of your civilization because to do otherwise is bigoted toward the rapists. It really is that simple.

THE AI SCAM IS COLLAPSING AND THEY'RE PANICKING 🔥

🤬🖥️ Jimmy Dore and Garland Nixon break down how the AI math isn't mathin'.

Data centers are bankrupting their own customers. Here's why:

Cloud AI = Corporate AI. Rent your brain back at 1000x markup. Tokens add up fast — faster than employee salaries. Scale up? The bill eats you alive.

Local AI = Independent AI. A $250 Nvidia card in your closet runs offline storage and private apps cheaper and better. No subscriptions. No surveillance. No scam.

But that doesn't make oligarchs trillions, does it?

Surprise — it's another wealth transfer. Trillions to a handful of companies who can't deliver what they sold us.

THE LIE:

For two years: "AI will slash payroll! Replace workers! Unleash productivity!"

Wall Street ate it up. Stocks pumped. Workers got canned. Execs cashed out.

THE REALITY:

Every. Query. Costs. Money.

Code reviews. "Helpful" suggestions. Background agents.

Multiply across thousands of employees making millions of requests.

The bill looks less like software and more like a ransom note.

THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW:

Cloud = handing your clients, secrets, and liabilities to a server farm that data-mines and resells everything.

Why would any business want that?

Because they rigged the game. Locked the infrastructure. Same five companies own every exit.

THE DATA CENTERS AREN'T FOR "BETTER AI."

They're for SURVEILLANCE.

Every prompt logged. Every conversation analyzed. You — legible, trackable, replaceable.

THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY:

They spent decades saying labor was "the problem."

Now compute is the problem.

More AI adoption = more tokens burned = bigger bills = harder to justify the layoffs.

That's not disruption. That's a bait-and-switch.

WHO PAYS? WHO PROFITS?

Workers lose jobs. Communities crumble. Investors lose.

The executives who sold this fairy tale? Already cashed out.

We've seen this movie:

🏠 Housing bubble — "Everyone gets rich!"
🌐 Globalization — "Endless prosperity!"
💰 Zero rates — "Permanent growth!"
💣 Neo-liberal order — "Peace through hegemony!"
Now: 🤖 AI — "It'll solve everything!"
Same scam. Different logo.
THE QUESTION THEY CAN'T ANSWER:

If AI is cheaper than humans...

WHY IS EVERY COMPANY PANICKING ABOUT AI COSTS?

Why throttle usage? Why "unlimited" plans getting limits? Why hire "AI efficiency consultants" after firing half the staff?

BECAUSE THE MATH DOESN'T MATH.

THE OFFLINE REBELLION:

While they build billion-dollar surveillance palaces, the real solution sits on a shelf:

$250 machine

Private storage

Your data stays YOURS

No subscription. No surveillance.
Independent computing = independent people.
And independent people are harder to milk.

FINAL THOUGHT:
When your "cost-saving technology" generates bills rivaling the payroll it replaced...

That's not a revolution. That's a warning sign.

The bubble is leaking. The execs are exiting. You're holding the bag.

Again.

We are now in a weird era where a guy gets publicly shamed for running his sprinklers on a Tuesday, while a data center the size of a Costco quietly drains a reservoir so AI can generate a picture of your cat as a medieval knight. And the data center gets a tax incentive for it.

As a little girl I dreamed of one day going to Paris, clipping a lock on the bridge, standing beneath the Eiffel Tower, and eating real French pastries and cuisine.

As a grown woman I wanted to stand in awe of the wonders of Western civilization our ancestors built.

That dream is being erased right now by third world invaders who are burning and tearing it to the ground.

If the men who stormed the beaches of Normandy could see what we’ve allowed to happen to the Europe they died to save… they would have fought a very different war.

[Alex Fasulo @alex_fasulo]

You’re looking at thousands of studs that have been jammed into the ground, on what was previously prime farmland, as they continue to build out Cider Solar in Elba and Oakfield, New York.

The studs will hold the Chinese-made solar panels that were constructed and shipped with fossil fuels and rare earth minerals.

Cider Solar is a massive 500MW industrial complex that will destroy 4,000 acres by the time they’re done.

Since commercial solar only generates at 15% of its annual potential in Upstate NY (actually closer to 10% in Western NY), this 500MW complex will only generate 75MW of power when it’s all said and done.

Thousands of acres gone. Soil compacted. Runoff reported. Chemicals sprayed to suppress vegetation. Animals displaced in every direction. And the history and culture of these towns destroyed forever.

All for our governor, greedy politicians, and subsidies for foreign corporations.
