🇺🇸 Google wants to buy a dead airline's internal messages for $10 million.

Spirit Airlines stopped flying in May, and now Google wants roughly 100 million emails, 500 million Teams messages and millions of employee records going back decades.

Customer data is excluded, but employee data isn't. A third party would strip identifying information before Google gets it, while keeping the links between records intact.

Why does Google want all of this? It says the data could help improve its products and AI models.

A bankruptcy judge decides tomorrow whether the $10 million sale can go ahead. The other bidder offered $7.5 million.

Turns out even a dead airline's inbox can be worth millions in the AI age.

I finally have all 1.2 million raw image files from my latest mission to ISS! Here is a sample of one of my favorite Milky Way photos, taken from the Cupola with Nikon Z9, Arri Zeiss 15mm lens, T1.8 with custom sidereal drive that cancelled out star motion relative to our orbit.

🚨🇦🇪🇺🇸 Prominent UAE billionaire Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor just published an open letter to Trump. It's brutal.

"Who gave you the authority to drag our region into a war with Iran? Who gave you permission to turn our region into a battlefield?"

Al Habtoor's a major figure: billionaire, former diplomat, outspoken political voice in the Gulf. When he talks, UAE leadership's listening.

His questions:

* Was this your decision or Netanyahu's pressure?
* Did you calculate collateral damage before firing?
* You placed GCC countries at the heart of danger they didn't choose
* Your "Board of Peace" initiatives were funded by Gulf states. Now we're getting attacked. Where did that money go?
* You promised no wars. You've conducted operations in 7 countries: Somalia, Iraq, Yemen, Nigeria, Syria, Iran, Venezuela
* 658 airstrikes in your first year back = Biden's entire term (which you criticized)
* War costs $40-65 billion for operations, possibly $210 billion total
* Your approval rating's down 9% in 400 days
* Americans were promised peace. They're getting war funded by their taxes

The sharpest line: "Before the ink has dried on your Board of Peace initiative, we find ourselves facing military escalation that endangers the entire region. So where did those initiatives go?"

Al Habtoor's not some random critic. He's establishment. Connected. When UAE elites start publicly questioning Trump's decision-making, that's America's closest Arab allies saying "we didn't sign up for this."

The letter ends: "True leadership is not measured by war decisions, but by wisdom, respect for others, and pushing toward achieving peace."

🚨 BREAKING: IRS SCANDAL EXPOSED 🚨

You’re not going to believe this.

Sen. Joni Ernst has revealed that IRS EMPLOYEES OWE ~$50,000,000 IN UNPAID TAXES.

Yes.

The people who enforce the tax laws… aren’t paying them.

Let that sink in.

Nearly 6,000 IRS employees, almost 10% of the agency, have significant unpaid tax balances.

Average amount owed? About $8,000 per employee.
These are not recent bills. Many are from prior years. Some didn’t even file.

This isn’t a clerical issue. It’s a credibility crisis.

These employees know exactly how the system works, what gets flagged, what doesn’t, and where enforcement is weak.

That’s not just hypocrisy.
That’s tax fraud risk inside the tax authority itself.

So here’s the real question: Should Scott Bessent put IRS employees with unpaid taxes on probation, just like any other federal worker?

Because, if the IRS won’t enforce the rules on itself, why should the public trust enforcement at all?

Curious what you think. Please comment and hare.
