I would go further and give you ownership of any data element that identifies you or differentiates you from any other person.

Poll workers in my county have been issued specific and clear, written instructions for potentially dealing with federal agents who might arrive on Election Day at a voting site and that should be absolutely terrifying to every American

Judging from past experience, the "Internet of Things" (smart domestic appliances, etc) will rapidly develop into the "Internet of Hideously Expensive Subscription Services".

Every single job destroyed by AI is one less taxpayer, one fewer contributors to the economy, one extra burden on diminishing Government funds. Ultimately the economy will not be able to afford to purchase AI services. What happens then, BigTech?

Bloomberg reports that officials directly involved in an internal Pentagon investigation found that Peter Thiel’s Palantir Maven Smart System played a significant role in the February 28 U.S. strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, Iran.

It is not the murders of Palestinians that are considered "disproportionate". It is the sheer bloody volume of murders of Palestinians that is "disproportionate".

There is no such thing as a "political donation". It is a "political fee" for services to be rendered, regardless of the political party receiving it.

A gentle reminder that more than 30x the number killed on 9/11 have been massacred in just the last 3 years in Palestine... By US weapons, support and funding. Most were women and children and were incinerated by US bombs.

Labour's problem with big donors is they have nothing else. They waged war on their own membership and base so they have no subs and no volunteers anymore. All they have is big donors.

Piers Morgan “Mohammed, do you condemn the Hamas attacks on October the 7th?” Mohammed Hijab “Yes, I do. Do you condemn Israel killing over 1000 kids?” Piers Morgan “I believe Israel has a right to defend themselves” That answer should be on the tombstone of his career.

There were many ways in which the US and its allies could have responded to the horror of 9/11. But by building extreme security states, launching pointless forever wars and restricting domestic dissent, successive governments inflicted more harm on their nations than the terrorists could have done.

The Channel 4 investigation into secret foreign funding of polling for Reform is explosive. JL Partners are cooked IMO. The Times and Telegraph will be livid with Reform over it. And Farage will almost certainly face police, Standards and/or EC investigations over it. youtu.be/aXut3s90rUI?...

An enormous lie, private healthcare is our enemy. I started my career in Bupa and finished it in the NHS, which cares and protects patients Bupa sees them as a financial commodity, they spend 6 months training staff not to meet claims, it will cost you thousands when at your most vulnerable.

It starts with a knock. The sheriff's cruiser is sitting in the driveway, and the man at the door isn't there because of a crime, because no crime exists. He read a post, wrote one late at night, said one word too many about the government, capitalism, or the border.

Fauci accuses Rand Paul of having an "unhinged obsession with calling for my prosecution" and of making "repeated slanderous comments," then says "although it pains me to do so... under advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the 5th Amendment to refrain from answering your questions."

The claim “RFK Jr. does not fuck chickens” is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that RFK Jr. fucks chickens.

Rachel Maddow’s description of Juan Sebastian Guerrero killed by ICE in Maine is a must see. She explains what happened w/out being graphic, and somehow that makes it even more powerful. Remember Alex, Pretti, and Renée? There have been no prosecutions. Still no justice. We know how this goes.

America didn’t just lose a World Cup match. We lost credibility. A President personally intervened with FIFA over a disciplinary decision and created the appearance that political power could influence the rules of the game. The reputational cost was far greater than the sporting cost.
