I’m trying to imagine being 20 years old and being ordered to torture an elderly celebrated physician who’s being endlessly detained without charges. Most would refuse that order. It’s an indictment of Israeli society that they seem to have no problem finding people to do it.
No country should be allowed to host the World Cup while imposing discriminatory rules on qualified and participating teams.
This ought to be a very basic requirement.
Trump reached deep into his profanity lexicon a week ago to warn Netanyahu not to attack, then told the world he had put Bibi in his place and troops were even turning around. Peace was at hand thanks to Trump’s strength and his fury, Axios reported.
A week later that very bombing run is carried out and Iran is promising major retaliation.
We have had a lot of weak presidents over our history but perhaps none weaker than Trump. He gets pushed around by a small nation of a few million people that we subsidize.
Shocking images leaked from satellites reveal the city of Gaza completely wiped off the face of the Earth, with not a single building left standing.
This scene must never be erased from the world’s memory.
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
BREAKING:
Israel just dropped bombs on the Qaraoun Dam in Lebanon’s Beqaa Valley — a key water reservoir serving civilian populations across surrounding villages.
This is not a battlefield target.
It is a critical water infrastructure.
This is an act of genocide.
Without Services the legislation is worthless. It’s finger wagging, nothing more.
A pathetic attempt to placate the nation.
An insult to anyone who wants nothing to do with the genocidal regime.
All due respect, but Lynch is part of the problem here.
However much criticism is directed at Starmer, the failure to recognise that the Labour Party itself has fundamentally and irreversibly transformed into a party of corporate interests, Thatcherites and warmongers gives legitimacy to its agenda – as well as undermining effective opposition.
Fine to not be a Green, but frankly insane and inexcusable for someone of his level of influence on the Left to continue supporting Labour.
It does feel like if a group of Palestinians with machine guns broke into an Israeli school and shot a bunch of children, it would be breaking news in every outlet on earth…?
