Russia has no chance of advancing any further on the ground in Ukraine. That is why it has focused on destabilizing Ukraine and Europe from within and intensified its terror from the air. Russia has also poured enormous amounts of money into information warfare: fakes, bots, and fabricated news.

Mary Golda Ross is the first-known #NativeAmerican female engineer & a key pioneer of the US Space Race. #WorldSpaceWeek🚀 A citizen of the Cherokee Nation, she spent >3 decades performing aerospace design & engineering work laying the groundwork for modern interplanetary exploration. #WomenInSTEM 🧵
A black-and-white, profile-angle photograph of Mary Golda Ross (1908–2008), the first known Native American female engineer and a key pioneer of the American Space Race, working at her drafting table. Seated and facing left, Ross rests her forearms on a large drafting surface covered in technical drawings and mathematical graphs. She holds a pencil in her right hand and holds up a sheet of paper with her left, seemingly reviewing complex flight paths or rocket designs. She wears a dark, short-sleeved blouse featuring a light-colored collar, a wrist watch on her left arm, and prominent rounded earrings. Her dark hair is styled neatly away from her face, which carries an expression of quiet focus and intellect. Scattered across the workspace are precision drafting tools, including rulers, a t-square, a technical compass, and an ink well, while a mechanical drafting arm anchors the foreground. The plain paneled walls create a minimalist office environment. The overall mood is serious and professional, highlighting a foundational Indigenous woman in mid-century aerospace engineering.

The US is now simultaneously buying oil from Russia whilst sanctioning countries that do the same. A global embarrassment.

Trump is planning to host a third gala for the top investors of his $TRUMP crypto coin. He and his family have raked in $2.2 billion from their crypto ventures, while their investors have lost almost the same amount. They’ll fleece anyone they can — even their own supporters.

Trump White House misspells “United” on the official “super intelligence” document with AI executives. Instead of “President of the United States,” it reads: “President of the Unites States.” Nothing says “super intelligence” quite like misspelling the name of the country.
Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump’s verified @realDonaldTrump account displaying a signed document titled “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities.” The document outlines voluntary AI safety and oversight commitments for companies developing frontier artificial intelligence models. On the right side are signatures and company labels for leaders including Sundar Pichai of Google, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Greg Brockman of OpenAI, Elon Musk of xAI, and Jensen Huang of Nvidia. Near the center-right, Donald J. Trump’s large signature appears above the printed title identifying him as president. The title contains a noticeable typo: instead of “President of the United States,” it reads, “President of the Unites States,” misspelling “United” as “Unites.”

Oh shit the White Sox are literally on a mission from God
Letter to Jerry Reinsdorf from the pope

I was pleased to receive the kind letter that you
sent
following the game that took place at Rate Field on August 11, 2026. I am most grateful for this thoughtful gesture.
As I have noted,
"sport can truly become a school of life,
where all can learn that abundance does not come from victory at any cost, but from sharing, from respecting others and from the joy of walking together" (Letter Life in Abundance, 6 February In this spirit, it is my hope that the White Sox will
continue to foster bonds of friendship and solidarity people, and thus bear hopeful witness to the possibility of living and working together in peace.
With
these sentiments, I willingly invoke the Almighty's
abundant blessings upon you and your loved ones.
From the Vatican, 9 September 2026

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

NEW- For the first time, groups in Iran, China, and Israel have used open source AI models to run start-to-finish influence campaigns. They told the models to create fake accounts on social media, find an agenda, and push it. Some are already targeting the US. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/18/t...

The pro-crypto CLARITY Act failed to advance in the Senate after every single Democrat (and four Republicans) voted it down. Reminder: crypto is a giant Ponzi scheme. Its only practical uses are for fraud, speculation, and crime. Glad to see Congress wake up to reality.
