🕵️ New: U.S. embassies to coordinate with Pentagon psy-ops unit and Elon Musk:
🔹Secretary of State Marco Rubio signed a cable Monday ordering all U.S. embassies and consulates worldwide to run coordinated campaigns against what it calls foreign “anti-American propaganda,” according to The Guardian.
🔹Embassies are instructed to recruit local influencers, academics, and community leaders to spread messaging that appears locally driven rather than directed by Washington. The cable also promotes X’s “Community Notes” feature as a crowdsourced way to counter anti-American narratives “without compromising free speech or privacy.”
🔹The directive tells diplomats to work with the U.S. military’s psychological operations unit and use X—owned by Elon Musk—as a key tool, describing it as an “innovative” way to counter disinformation.

This case against TicketMaster/Live Nation was supposed to go to trial this week. The DOJ, through multiple administrations, has been preparing for years.
Trump just settled it instead, after firing the head of the antitrust division.
There is apparently no amount of corruption too obvious to scare Trump away from it.
NEW | Instagram has removed the verified account of Gaza slain journalist Saleh al-Jafarawi, who had 4.5 million followers.
Archived snapshots of his page on the Wayback Machine, the largest public internet archive, also appear to have been wiped or disabled, raising concerns about digital erasure of Palestinian documentation.
Al-Jafarawi, known for his frontline reporting on the Gaza genocide, had previously faced repeated censorship. He was killed yesterday by an armed group collaborating with Israel.
Observers warn that these developments may signal “a new phase in efforts to erase evidence of Israeli war crimes from the internet.”
Also I guess Im formally announcing the game is called "Piteous Metals"!
Nowhere near finished, but I might upload a more polished demo later this year.
This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message :
“If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side.
By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.
I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.”
— For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.
@nickfloats people have no idea.
the AI music space will change culture in ways we have never seen before.
like MTV, but 1000x
everyone will make songs,
and everything will be a song.
a golden age of music,
free of shackles of a label,
or at least, i hope.
