This is an official government account in a democracy.

This is what Orbanism looks like. The president bragging, via AI video, that he forced a comedian who mocked him off the air and ‘into the trash’.

The Boys finale isn’t great television but it is a great message - good can defeat evil. Authoritarians stripped of their tools to enthrall people are weak. Winning is just the beginning and building a better future is a core part too.

Supreme Court today: We'll allow Alabama Republicans to change the congressional map in the primary election even though absentee voting has literally already started

Supreme Court last December: November's too late to strike down the GOP's map in TX's March primary election!!

@KingCollo404 If they want us to be neutral, do they not understand that we have to invest more in defence anyway. The best way to avoid war is to deter aggressors by making it too difficult to win

PM Carney on the Americans calling the alcohol ban an irritant: "You know what's an irritant? 50% tariffs on steel. 50% tariffs on aluminum. 25% tariffs on automobiles. All the tariffs on forest products. Those are more than irritants, those are violations of our trade deal."

If Joe Biden had entered office with this ethos, things would be very different in the US now. The next Democratic candidate for the presidency needs to be taking notes here.

Insane story. Man manipulated a weather market using a hair dryer… this is going to become widespread. There are a hundred ways to force an outcome like this

Anthropic said Mythos was too dangerous to release. Then four random guys in a Discord gained access on day one by guessing the URL...

This is pretty insane:
→ Group in a private Discord guessed the endpoint from Anthropic's naming conventions
→ They figured out the conventions from the leak in the Mercor breach three weeks ago
→ Used a contractor's legit eval credentials to walk in
→ Have been using it ever since to build simple websites

The AI that finds zero-days in every operating system on earth was defeated by address bar autocomplete... big yikes

The two biggest criticisms of the JCPOA were sunsets and financial relief that Iran could spend on terrorism.

The deal under discussion has both. That’s not a necessary criticism of diplomacy; it’s a criticism of those who criticized the JCPOA and will support any Trump deal.

what an absolute power move to sit down on controlled state media for the first time and go "hello, we're dismantling you"

@histofevery_yt2 This racial thing about who can be Australian is just so disgusting. My great-great grandfather came to this country 25 years before federation and was a Punjabi Hindu. My great-great-great-great grandfather was an Indigenous Chilean guy. White Australia never really existed

ANDREW BOLT: Defending Ben Roberts-Smith is being made a test of our patriotism. But these allegations could not be swept under the carpet and our response to them is a measure of both our integrity and loyalty to Australian values. > https://t.co/vcRTZIhIew

1/ The world is facing a 'ticking time bomb' from its supply of oil, according to a briefing note from JP Morgan. Physical scarcity of oil is about to unfold across the globe, spreading sequentially through April from east to west, causing major economic disruption worldwide. ⬇️

Imagine how untouchable you must feel to be willing to do something this brazen

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

“No quarter” isn’t some wanna be tough guy line - it means something. An order to give no quarter would mean to take no prisoners and kill them instead. That would violate the law of armed conflict. It would be an illegal order. It would also put American service members at greater risk. Pete Hegseth should know better than to throw around terms like this.
