Letter in the Guardian

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

By firing Scott Pelley, editor-in-chief of CBS News Bari Weiss has single-handedly destroyed the most brilliant investigative newsmagazine in network history, 60 Minutes. Weiss exemplifies everything MAGA is about: ego, incompetence, and blithering idiocy.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

HOLY SH*T, this parting statement by Scott Pelley is WILD:

"New management has instructed me to INJECT FALSEHOODS AND BIAS into a politically sensitive story. I've been told to include assertions that are unverified."

I bet he knows a LOT more, too. 🔥

[Doug Cameron @DougCameron51]

At last! An independent public inquiry into the fiasco that is AUKUS.
A great team of Commissioners led by Peter Garrett. As days go by the problems, changes and complexities multiply.
Why are we spending $368b to appease Trump and attack our most important trading partner?

Stevie Wonder performing "I Ain't Gonna Stand for It" live at Abbey Road Studios, 1980.

Featuring the Linn LM-1, the first drum machine to use sampled acoustic sounds and one of only a few hundred units ever built.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

Hey remember when Trump said he didn’t know what Project 2025 was and the super serious mainstream media swallowed it? 😕🤷🏼

[Acyn @Acyn]

Collins: About the $1.8 billion fund. Is it accurate that the general counsel of the treasury department resigned over that?

Bessent: I will not be taking any other questions.

A hill I will happily die on is that “Bob Dylan can’t sing” and “Bob Dylan’s songs sound better sung by other people” are very reliable indicators of someone who, at a fundamental level, just doesn’t understand art.

Rares images du Starship chez Paul Kantner à San Francisco.
Ambiance détendue malgré les conflits, Grace Slick still goddess, Marty Balin enchante.

Astounding. Without any tender, Jillian Segal quietly hands a plum, 6-figure ‘consultancy’ to Scott Morrison’s former head kicker Yaron Finkelstein…

[David Shoebridge @DavidShoebridge]

I asked the outgoing NACC Commissioner three times why he resigned. Three times the answer was "I refer you to my statement." The man tasked with holding others to account couldn't give a straight answer about his own conduct AGAIN.

[Skyler Higley @skyler_higley]

it’s so fucking crazy all the time… like one thing after another, so I mostly don’t react to it and let it wash over me. But every once in a while I have these moments of clarity where I’m like damn… what the fuck.

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

Tony Blair is the living embodiment of what happens when political office becomes a down payment on future plunder. Ejected in 2007 by his own MPs as a massive liability, he bequeathed Britain a wild casino economy primed for the 2008 crash. And when the British economy crashed and burned, Mr Blair kept quiet while honing his skills at securing power by other means.

His first job, after his ejection from 10 Downing Street, was as the West’s Middle East envoy, with a supposed emphasis on Gaza. It took six painful years for Mr Blair’s tenure to prove a failure so profound it amounted to active complicity in Israel’s ethnic cleansing, in Palestinian erasure, and in paving the ground for the ongoing genocide.

Soon after, the Chilcot Inquiry demolished Blair’s Iraq lies, exposing him as a liar, a chancer and a war criminal responsible for countless corpses of Iraqis, but also of British soldiers.

Then came Blair’s real innovation: the financialisation of the ex-premiership itself. The Tony Blair Institute, fuelled by £130 million from Oracle's Larry Ellison—coincidentally, the largest individual donor to the Friends of the IDF—became a shadow state, brokering governance contracts for autocrats and companies like Palantir that weaponise AI to produce mega-death abroad and full-on surveillance of Western populations.

Now, in May 2026, this corporate fixer issues a 5700 word tantrum demanding that Labour embrace Trump even more than Starmer already has, denounce what is left of Labour’s betrayed Green New Deal, and trash the remnants of workers' rights. This is not the wisdom of an aging statesman. It is the frantic squirming of a man fearing his grip on oligarchic power might soon wane and whose entire post-10 Downing Street existence depends on preventing the many from ever reclaiming what the few have plundered.

As the Trump DOJ mass-deletes government information about the Jan. 6 cases, reminder that you can still access NPR's database covering every single prosecution.

We also provide access to hundreds of videos presented in court.

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

Donald Trump’s DOJ got caught DELETING a press release about a cop-beater who is accused of buying a child for sex.

Are you angry yet?

[Alex Prompter @alex_prompter]

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.

で、前にもちらっと上げたことがあると思うんですが、これ。1989年の9月末、オーストラリアのシドニーにてボノ（U2）とBBキングが飯食ってたらボウイさんが参上、BBとボウイが初対面するっていう動画。この時ボウイはちょうどティン・マシーンの2ndアルバムをこの地で録音してたっていう時期。（続）

[Sonny Rollins @sonnyrollins]

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2 https://t.co/6AGmFrB7x4

Thomas Massie says he will publicly read the names of the Epstein clients before his time in Congress comes to an end.

Massie says there will be no high-level arrests as long as Todd Blanche and Kash Patel work for the United States government.

Massie says Melania Trump knows the truth about Epstein not acting alone.

"Todd Blanche is violating the law."
