Getting Palantir far far away from our private data seems like an added bonus.

Billionaire Peter Theil being pro Trump, and Trump then making an enemy out of every US ally, leading to Europe ditching American tech products including Theil's own Palantir AI software, which then forces Peter Theil to sell massive amounts of Palantir stocksโ€ฆ THAT is the KARMA we need right now.

Police in Sweden have seized a false-flagged cargo ship reportedly belonging to Russiaโ€™s shadow fleet.

It is suspected of transporting stolen Ukrainian grain.

Bravo, Sweden!

TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.

CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

Plena testing - Spidsen, Nordhavn DSC_2922

Very much so, by far the best bus in Copenhagen.
I use it for photography trips a couple of times a year.
This was shot on one of those trips - flic.kr/p/2pJ3nK5

Just what the climate needed โ€” setting Tehran's oil storage facilities on fire.

I am in my kitchen, sorting the trash into four different containers, because my country wants the planet to survive; meanwhile Trump and Putin have decided that the planet will not be needed after they are gone.

I'd probably be tempted to put a strip of wood across the bottom of the plane section just to make sure they couldn't slide out and on to the floor.

Cartoon showing a court of law building. A sign above the ornate front door reads โ€˜international lawโ€™. On the door is a paper that reads 'permanently closed'. We can see the interior of the top floor, where workers are carrying books and togas through a hole in the wall into the building next door. The building next door is a factory, where the books are thrown into a big vat and turned into long sheets of paper. The door of this building has a sign that read 'Toilet paper factory' with a banner below it that reads 'Grand Opening'. A man is cutting a red ribbon with gold scissors as people stand around applauding.

The luck of running a small engineering team is that features hits production only when I personally feel I understand the code well enough to be able to fix it myself, alone, at 3AM. Does it scale? Nope, but thatโ€™s why I donโ€™t like working for larger organizationsโ€ฆ

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

Iโ€™m seeing a ton of this floating around.

Itโ€™s true, weโ€™re bombing the hell out of Iran, but this war isnโ€™t as one sided as theyโ€™d have you believe. In a week, the US has lost at least two (possibly more) AN/TPY-2 radar.

We have less than 15 of them and they take years to make.

Cartoon showing a red line on the ground. On one side, buildings are in flames, on the other side, men in women in suits labeled 'international community' stand around with their hands in their pockets, as two more missiles fly across the red line towards the ruined buildings. Lady Justice points angrily to a sign that reads 'Red line: no war crimes'. A little further along the red line, a stream of refugees escaping the war zone is stopped by a police man who points to a sign that reads 'Red line" no refugees'.

Red lines. Cartoon from last year, relevant as ever (I wish it weren't).
