Henry Nowak, stabbed multiple times, tried to escape as his chest filled with blood. He was chased, abused, and filmed by Vickrum Digwa and others.

When police arrived, Henry was lying on the floor in severe distress.

In his final moments, he repeatedly told officers “I can’t breathe” (nine times) and that he had been stabbed (four times).

One officer replied, “I don’t think you have, mate.”

Henry was dragged across the gravel, handcuffed, and formally arrested for assault instead of receiving aid. Police read him his rights.

It was the last thing he heard before he died.

🇬🇧🇮🇪 Britain raises alarm over Ireland, that has become a "back door" for Russian spies, - The Telegraph

Dublin has issued 14,000 visas to Russian citizens - with an approval rate of 90% for the period since the start of the large-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Ireland is a member of the Common Travel Area together with the UK, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. Anyone who enters Ireland effectively gains access to Britain - without additional checks.

Hello, Trump!

[Vatnik Soup @P_Kallioniemi]

Ireland’s Aughinish Alumina is owned by sanctioned Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska’s Rusal. In Q1 2026, 83% of Irish-made alumina exports went to Russia. Just 0,6% went to EU states.

At the moment, shipping EU-made alumina to Russia is still legal.

This needs to change: the EU should ban the sale, supply, transfer and export of alumina and aluminium oxide to Russia, directly or indirectly, including through intermediaries and third countries.

Thank you #NAFO for promoting this important topic!

His Majesty the King on a dog sled journey in Greenland.

I can never get enough of Greenland…

This week, I spent a few days on a dog sled journey with Sirius Dog Sled Patrol. After a stopover in Mestersvig, where we managed a quick game of table football, we set out from Hvalrosodden, passed by Aalborg Hus, and ended in Daneborg, from where the first sled team departed 75 years ago.

Since then, more than 500 skilled Sirius members have patrolled this harsh and beautiful national park. Every one of them has my deepest respect.

My thanks to Sirius for the opportunity once again to feel the thrill of nature’s incomparable forces.

The X algorithm is broken, and it's killing the platform from the inside out.

It's gotten measurably worse, and it now barely registers something as fundamental as how many people chose to follow you. Small accounts can't grow organically. Large accounts watch their reach collapse month over month. Post too much and you're throttled. Post too little and you're forgotten. There is no winning move because the system isn't designed for anyone to win.

It's designed to keep everyone anxious, posting more, and dependent on whatever the model decided that morning.

I'm personally down 95% from a year ago. Ninety-five percent. I get more views and replies on Instagram with 20,000 followers than I do here with a following many multiples of that. Every serious creator, journalist, and news account I know is reporting the same collapse. This isn't a handful of cranks complaining but a structural failure visible in the numbers across the entire creator class.

The damage runs deeper than impressions. The algorithm has quietly redefined what kind of person you're allowed to be on this platform. If you stay relentlessly inside one "niche," you get rewarded. If you post like an actual human being with multiple interests — politics, tech, gaming, culture, memes — you get punished. The system literally works against diversity of thought, which is supposed to be the entire point of a town square. It funnels everyone into narrower and narrower lanes until creators stop being people and start being content categories.

The user experience is just as broken as the creator experience. Imagine subscribing to a dozen tech and science channels on YouTube and being shown unrelated slop instead. That's the For You feed now. Most of the accounts on my timeline are random accounts I never asked to see, while the people I actually chose to follow get buried.

The "systems-first" approach the team is so proud of has turned a social network into a slot machine and the engagement numbers everyone is whispering about in group chats prove the experiment isn't working.

Here's the part nobody at X seems willing to say out loud: followers used to be social capital, and the algorithm has retroactively devalued every account on the platform. All of us, aside from the legacy celebrities who arrived with audiences pre-built, clawed our way up from zero. We posted through the woke years, the bot waves, the policy changes, the verification chaos. We built something. And then one day a model decided our followers don't really count anymore. Treating creators this way is the digital equivalent of how communist regimes treat entrepreneurs: confiscate the value they built, redistribute it to whoever the central planner prefers this week, and call it fairness.

It also makes no business sense. Creators are not a cost center on this platform — we are the platform. The reason anyone opens the app is because someone they want to hear from is here. When you suppress that signal in favor of algorithmic guesses, you don't just hurt creators — you train users to leave.

People are already migrating their best work to Substack, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, where follower relationships still mean something. X is speedrunning the same mistake every dying platform makes: confusing engagement metrics with actual loyalty.

The fix isn't complicated:

Give us back a real Following feed that respects the explicit choice users made when they hit the follow button. Let the For You tab handle discovery — that's its job — but stop overriding the social graph people built deliberately. Make follower count weight something meaningful again. Stop punishing topical range. Stop boosting unverified randoms over accounts users have actively opted into. And stop pretending an opaque ranking model is more legitimate than the user's own stated preferences.

X is supposed to be the free speech platform. But suppression by algorithm is still suppression — it just has better PR. If the team is serious about this being a town square, the people who showed up and built it deserve to actually be heard by the audiences they earned.

Fix the algorithm. Give followers back their meaning. Let creators be human again.

The Deal With Iran That Took a Decade to Build and About Ten Minutes to Destroy.

In 2015, after years of painstaking negotiation involving the US, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, China and the EU, the world got the JCPOA. Iran gutted its enrichment programme, let inspectors in, and stepped back from the nuclear threshold. The IAEA confirmed compliance, repeatedly. It worked.

Then Trump arrived.
He tore it up in 2018 because it was an Obama deal. He promised something better, something tremendous. What he got instead was an Iran enriching uranium forty times beyond the agreed limit, a breakout time that collapsed from one year to a matter of weeks, and Tehran firmly in Moscow’s embrace. Maximum pressure produced maximum enrichment and zero concessions.

Now there is a war. And no deal. And no one quite sure what Iran has built in the mountains of Fordow.

Here is the part Trump will never admit: you cannot do this without Europe.

The JCPOA worked because it was underwritten by parties Iran could actually trust not to burn it down after one election cycle.

France and Germany spent a decade in the room building that trust. EU law gave the deal institutional gravity a US executive order simply cannot provide.

Iran’s core problem with Washington is structural: any bilateral deal can be shredded by the next president before the ink is dry. They have watched that happen once already.

Without European guarantees, Tehran has no reason to constrain its programme. None. And Trump, arriving with maximum demands and minimum credibility, will not change that arithmetic by shouting louder.

He broke the only thing that was working. And he cannot fix it alone.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

BREAKING: The US Government has begun refunding up to $166 billion in tariffs charged under President Trump after the Supreme Court ruled the policy unlawful.

Beginning today, businesses can file claims through a new customs system.

Over 330,000 importers across 53 million shipments are expected to be eligible.

Once approved, refunds plus interest will be paid within 60 to 90 days.

The bravest bone spur in the world.

CBS reporter Olivia Rinaldi barely got started:

“Mr. President, a question on Iran. Iranian gunboats fired upon two vessels today. President Macron said that…”

He folded like a lawn chair.
“Out.”

Iran is running this man’s presidency now. Every gunboat in the Strait is another headline he cannot survive. They are bleeding him dry, straight through the midterms.
Iran wants regime change too. Just not in Tehran.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Jens Stoltenberg went on Fox News this week. It did not go the way Trump would have liked.

The former NATO Secretary General, now Norway’s Finance Minister, was asked about Trump’s threats to pull the United States out of the alliance.

He answered with the kind of calm, precise demolition that only a Norwegian diplomat can deliver without raising his voice once.

On why Europe didn’t join the war: “NATO is a defensive alliance. The strikes or the war against Iran were never an attempt to make that into a NATO operation.”

On whether Europe disagrees with America about Iran: “We all agree the Iranian nuclear program is dangerous. The question is how we achieve that goal.” Translation: the problem was never the destination. It was the lunatic who decided to get there by setting the car on fire.

On what Trump should have done before launching: “If you want NATO to contribute, then at least you have to sit down with NATO allies, as you did after 9/11. You cannot expect us just to be there without any consultations, any discussions in NATO before you take the decision to launch the attack.”

This is Stoltenberg saying, in the most polished terms imaginable, that you do not start a war at two in the morning on Truth Social and then ring your allies for help at breakfast.

On whether Europe abandoned America: “The majority of European allies have made sure that their bases and infrastructure were available for the United States. There are some exceptions, but most have contributed.” Most helped. Quietly. Without being asked to endorse a war they considered illegal.

On why leaving NATO would be catastrophic for America specifically: “The United States is 25 per cent of the global economy. But together with NATO allies, we are 50 per cent of the global economy and 50 per cent of the world’s military might. So it makes the United States safer to have friends and allies — something that Russia and China don’t have at all.”

And then, in a separate interview, the warning nobody in Washington wants to hear: “It’s not a natural law that we will have NATO forever. It’s not carved in stone that NATO will exist for the next ten years.”

That last line was not a threat. It was a diagnosis.

Trump called NATO a Paper Tiger. Stoltenberg replied, with characteristic Norwegian understatement, that paper tigers tend to be considerably less useful once you’ve set them on fire yourself.

Hormuz has been quiet for 46 years.
Trump ruined that in about a week.

And here is the truly spectacular part.

He cannot undo it.

Iran is not stupid. They know they are sitting on the most powerful economic weapon on the planet.

Not a nuclear warhead. Something far more elegant.

Thirty percent of the world’s oil. Gas. Fertilizer. Medicine. All of it threading through a strip of water you could almost spit across.

They do not need to close it. They just need to squeeze it. Just hard enough to send oil prices into orbit. Just hard enough to make American gas stations feel like a mugging. Just hard enough to ensure that by the time midterms arrive, every truck driver, every farmer, every suburban parent filling up the minivan is absolutely livid.

Behind Iran’s strategy sits forty years of patience and calculation.

Behind Trump’s strategy sits nothing. No masterplan. No endgame. No genius. Just a travelling circus of overpromoted clowns who walked into the most volatile waterway on earth and kicked everything they could find.

Hormuz is his masterpiece. Iran is the curator. And the rest of the world is paying the admission fee.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

@scrowder FFS, America is home to some of the most aggressively insecure people on the planet.

You're systematically gaslit from birth and you never challenge it because you never leave.

No passport. No perspective. No problem.
Genuinely pitiful to watch.
