Secretary of State/National Intelligence Director/Head Librarian/Town Dogcatcher Marco Rubio is then forced to try to reconcile something like Trump's claims with something like consensus reality, and announces the US is confident that A Foreign Power is behind some guys stealing 3 barrels of fuel.

Asked further, he first seems to say he doesn't known if it's Iran or not. But then he remembers he is a Superintelligent Superbrain Who Knows Everything, Probably The Most Informed Person Ever, and announces that he actually does know if it was Iran or not, he just can't say because of reasons.

Police stress that the arrears arose from a 999 call, not intelligence. But speaking of "not intelligence", the US President wakes up starved of attention, is asked about it, and announces that the UK and US intelligence services have been monitoring these guys - fuel thieves - for a long period.

So the police brought out the counter-terrorism and explosives units, just to be safe. Not really an overreaction, just turned out to be far more than necessary. Racist politicians announce it's *definitely* Iranian terrorists who crossed the channel in small boats for some reason to do terrorism.

At around the same time, one of the men called police himself. We're not sure why, possibly he realised they had been noticed by a farmer. Farmers have shotguns. The village is near an RAF base used by the USAF, which has been on raised alert after threats from Iran, which it is used to bomb.

In case people are not fully across the Fairford story: What appears to have happened is that five men from London went to a small country village in the middle of the night to siphon fuel for resale. In small country villages, people notice things, especially at 1am. A farmer called the police.

Why is Jorge Martin the favourite to win the 2026 title? Maybe because of this One Weird Trick he has mastered. Val Khorounzhiy takes a deeply nerdy but very satisfying dive into why Martin has the upper hand motomatters.com/analysis/202...

Give a man a fish and he’ll feed his family for a day. But give a fish a man he will find the man who was given his fish father and take revenge. Warn both the man and the fish they are about to be given away and they can team up and go against the company behind this sick game and bond for life.

“But AI could decide on its own to create a bioweapon that could end humanity” then don’t build a $100m bioweapon facility with an API to control everything, and don’t have humans doing everything the AI in that facility tells them, and don’t let them buy the materials to do it. Simple.

It's a known booking scam! Fraudsters get into the hotel CRM via other means (mislaid credentials, back doors in other software) and because bookings through booking.com often involve an external message they try to copy it

Another AI scam. Although underneath it is the fact that content farms - churning out vast quantities of cheap and quick content for ad clicks - are a viable business model. The ad networks don't care about the content they are being served next to. It's all money in the bank to them.

This is a good question. I booked at home, using my own network (which is locked down). That means either booking dot com have a leak, or the people renting the accommodation.

Had a very convincing scam today. Made a booking on Booking dot com, got a text message via WhatsApp asking me to review my reservation details via a link on booking dot checkingcheck-in dot com. After completing details, it asked me to make a payment, which I don't have to do.

I really weary of how UK reporters are tiptoeing around the fact that the US president talked absolute shit about the RAF Fairford incident and arrests. "It's possible Trump was talking off the cuff" - no, it's in fact very clear that Trump was just lying compulsively because that's what he does.
