This is a sad, and I believe true, indictment of the Silicon Valley #SocialMedia giants From Mark Little’s excellent new book: The Last Good Day on the Internet Well worth your time should you want to understand the toxic impact of technology on civil society #Books @marklittle #Mastodaoine

Quote graphic. On the left, white italic text on a dark background, beneath a large blue opening quotation mark: "There is the same controlling impulse within every American mega-corporation that has come to dominate the open internet. They would rather watch their platforms burn with rage and anger than surrender control to the communities trapped inside their walled gardens." Below the quote: Mark Little, The Last Good Day on the Internet. On the right, a portrait of Mark Little, a smiling man with short dark hair in a black shirt, against a plain light grey background.

Donal Trump Quote: “The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money,” he wrote on social media, adding that “of far greater interest and importance to me, as President, is stoping an evil Empire, Iran, from having Nuclear Weapons.”

I hate to see my name getting dragged into this mess #USPol #Cartoon

A six-panel editorial cartoon by Jack Ohman (Tribune Content Agency, dated 3/6/2026) titled "Why Did We Attack Iran?" A caricature of Donald Trump offers a series of shifting justifications — Iran was going to attack us; regime change; Iran was developing a nuclear weapon — each undercut by his own admissions ("...or not," "...kinda," "...after I obliterated it"). In the lower panels, he claims Iran is run by "crazy lunatics" and that he pushed Israel, not the other way around. A second figure lists alternative explanations — deflecting from polls, Epstein, ICE, the economy, the Kennedy Center, the East Wing ballroom, Venezuela, Greenland, Canada, and his "grifting crime family." Trump responds: "WRONG! ...You know I do everything irrationally!"

Presidential approval rating chart displaying daily polling averages from Inauguration Day (January 2025) through February 12, 2026. The chart shows two trend lines: disapproval (orange/brown line) and approval (teal/green line). The disapproval rating starts around 47% at inauguration, rises sharply after major tariffs were announced in May, continues climbing after the Trump policy bill passed in September, and reaches 56% by February 12, 2026. The approval rating starts around 50% at inauguration, declines steadily throughout the year, and sits at 40% as of February 12, 2026. Individual poll results are shown as dots, with larger circles representing polls with greater weight in the average. A notable annotation indicates ‘Maduro captured’ near the end of the timeline.“

This image shows the results for the Men's 60m Semifinal 2 from what appears to be the European Athletics Indoor Championships held in Apeldoorn.

The competition status shows:
- Round 1 is finished (March 8)
- Semifinals are finished (March 8)

Looking at Semifinal 2 results:
1. Andrew Robertson (Great Britain) - 6.57s - reaction time 0.136
2. Henrik Larsson (Sweden) - 6.58s - reaction time 0.145
3. Taymir Burnet (Netherlands) - 6.61s - reaction time 0.138

Written 90 years ago in 1935, the words of #Hemingway in his “Notes on the Next War” should resonate with every thoughtful reader. #Geopolitics #EUPolitics #USPolitics

Quote Text:
There is the great danger and the great difference. France is a country and Great Britain is several countries but Italy is a man, Mussolini, and Germany is a man, Hitler. A man has ambitions, a man rules until he gets into economic trouble; he tries to get out of this trouble by war. A country never wants war until a man through the power of propaganda convinces it. Propaganda is stronger now than it has ever been before. Its agencies have been mechanized, multiplied and controlled until in a state ruled by any one man truth can never be presented.

Reading Mustafa Suleyman’s #book, ‘The Coming Wave’ This passage seemed to describe our would be #SiliconValley masters #Broligarchy #Oligarchy #Plutocracy

Book extract:
