This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.

I know I’ve been tweeting a lot about AI doom lately, and dismissing it a bit. But just to be fair and balanced I want to say. If you’re working at an AI company and you say “I’m really worried that the thing I’m building will extinct humanity” and you keep building it, you should surely go to jail

Our criteria for success are disastrously skewed. In my view, a successful person is one who does more good than harm, on any scale. On this measure, most billionaires are massive failures, while humble folk in my neighbourhood who look after other people are highly successful.

Cartoon in two panels
The upper panel, labelled “5th extinction” shows a group of fearful dinosaurs looking up at an approaching meteor.

In the lower panel, labelled “6th extinction”, the dinosaurs are replaced by modern animals also looking up fearfully, but this time the meteor is replaced by a fat, wealthy man, smoking a large cigar and clutching a bundle of money.

Another post from a Venezuelan friend:
They speak of justice while ruling through fear.
They speak of sovereignty while stealing the vote.
They speak of dignity while condemning their own people.
I learned that those who insist the most on calling themselves "the good ones" are often the ones most afraid to face themselves. The Maduro regime wraps itself in flags, in anti-imperialist rhetoric, in a false epic where any criticism is labeled as betrayal. They claim to defend Venezuela, yet they stole the people's voice when they refused to respect the elections. That act alone strips away any moral authority.
But do not be mistaken. The fact that a tyrant is real does not automatically turn an external aggressor into a savior.
The United States does not act out of love for democracy. It acts out of interest. It always has.
The language changes, the enemy changes, but the method remains the same: pressure, punishment, displays of power. And as always, the blow is not absorbed by those in power, but by ordinary people.The Venezuelan people are trapped between two narratives that do not represent them. One that oppresses them from within, and another that exploits them from outside. One that claims legitimacy without real elections. Another that claims justice without taking responsibility for the human consequences of its actions.
I do not defend Maduro. I point at him.
But I also refuse to accept that a global power can appoint itself as a moral judge while its history is written in interventions, sanctions, and broken countries.
Pain does not need propaganda. Hunger does not understand geopolitics. Dignity is not imposed with missiles, nor with dictatorships.
While some sell themselves as the good ones to justify repression, and others sell themselves as the good ones to justify aggression, the result is always the same: more suffering, more rage, more generations learning that force replaces justice.
And once again, pain is inherited.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

This applies 100% to Ireland too: native rainforest, bog, and other natural ecosystems in a healthy state are virtually inflammable. But in a drought, the sheep-wrecked deserts that have replaced them burn like petrol. The underlying cause of hillfires is overgrazing, and the solution is rewilding.
