It is deeply irresponsible for any politician, let alone a senior Conservative, to peddle the same far-right nonsense about Luton that we see from the likes of Yaxley Lennon and Reform.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

This is an absolute disaster from a national security perspective. Obviously, a lot on F-35s is classified, but a weapons-bay door and a canopy with radar-absorbing material are some of the most sensitive. Hard to describe how bad this is.

The symbolism on Trump's arch is typically vulgar, but inadvertently honest. Lady Liberty has angel wings—which means she's dead. That is rather fitting as it has been one of the Trump regime's goals to kill her.

Lots of headlines on SCOTUS mail-in ballots ruling are wrong. A different injunction blocking the executive order still holds and the Post Office's proposed rule will probably be enjoined too. It ain't over yet. Steve Vladeck sets the matter straight: www.stevevladeck.com/p/246-making...

The Supreme Court’s grant of a stay in one of the mail-in ballot cases is deeply wrong, but it’s also not the main event over whether Trump’s patently unlawful executive order can take effect.

There'll Be No Escape in Future From Telephones
PASADENA – AP – The telephone of the future?
Mark R.Sullivan, San Francisco,
president and director of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co said in an address Thursday night:

"Just what form the future telephone will take is, of course, pure speculation. Here is my prophecy:
"In its final development, the telephone will be carried about by the individual,perhaps as we carry a watch today. It probably will require no dial or equivalent, and I think the users will be able to see each other, if they want, as they talk.

Who knows but what it may actually translate from, one language to another?"

Middle East crisis live: Hormuz will stay closed until US ‘accepts all our conditions’, say Iran’s Revolutionary Guards
IRGC says strait is ‘a theatre of war for us and not just a waterway’ Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a Gaza plan hailed by US president Donald Trump, vowing no military pullout of Gaza until Hamas is “genuinely” disarmed. “Israel rejects the 15-point document,” Netanyahu said, referring to a plan endorsed in late July by Hamas. Iran’s president Masoud Pezeshkian has said he believes now is the best time for an agreement with the US. “There is cohesion, strength, and unity in the country, and as far as I know, Iran is considered victorious and powerful in this war,” Iranian news agencies quoted him as saying. Oman condemned what it described as repeated attacks on vessels while transiting the strait, without assigning blame, and said that ​negotiations with Iran on arrangements for shipping through Hormuz were “positive and constructive”. The UAE said on Saturday that Iran had attacked a carrier affiliated with the UAE’s state oil company with a missile as it transited the strait of Hormuz. No injuries were reported. The UK maritime trade monitor UKMTO said a ‌vessel had caught fire after being hit by an unknown projectile but the fire was put out and there was no reported environmental impact. There was no immediate comment from Iranian authorities. US Central Command said on Saturday it had allowed more than 30 ships through for humanitarian aid since the current blockade started. US forces have turned away 53 ships, disabled two vessels and boarded two others, Central Command said in a statement on social media. Continue reading...
