Burning the planet with ai bullshit to sell ad space reporting a building on fire. Just stop it.
This is an absolutely huge jump in oil prices.
It's also why Europe needs to get off fossil fuels asap (beyond climate change impact). We can't be beholden to this.

AOAV commentary: white phosphorus use in Lebanon raises renewed alarm over incendiary weapons

It’s time to cut our ties with America and this not so special relationship.
‘This is Trump’s war of choice. But Britain has choices, too. 250 years after the American colonists broke free of empire, it’s time for a British Declaration of Independence.’

The NHS has now stopped all medication - puberty blockers and hormones - for trans minors. For most, unless they get drugs from other sources, this means a lifetime, in an increasingly violent and transphobic society, unable to pass. Under Wes Streeting NHS policy is harm and death for trans people.
If only the BBC had journalists that could look into this 😕
Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..
Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.
This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.
44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.
Machine learning without critical thinking only encourages tech pseudoscience | Richard Glover
When ask how a machine learning tool can be used – but not whether it's accurate – we risk encoding technological pseudoscience into society.
Israeli Air Force images posted on March 3 show a bomb not previously seen in Israeli service, reportedly from jets involved in strikes on Iran. Experts say the bombs appear to have an incendiary component and may be meant to destroy chemical or biological agents.

Love that Trump is so dense he doesn’t understand that you can’t just sever trade with Spain…
Why?
Altogether now…
Because Spain is in the EU
Handy, that…
The military draft comment from Leavitt feels like a trial balloon.
If there's enough outcry, Trump denies it and Leavitt falls on her sword for "misspeaking."
If there's not, Trump and Hegseth bring it up casually and slowly push. For example, Trump may "joke" about it as a next step.

I just want to make sure that everyone knows Trump's war of choice in Iran is costing us $900 million a day according to the latest figures
Not $900 a day, not $9,000 a day, not $90,000 a day, not $900,000 a day, not $9 million a day, not $90 million a day
$900 million a day
Belgium MP Paul Magnette: “Not one of our soldiers, not one of our weapons, should go for Trump’s war in Iran. We must say no to Trump, like Spain did”
Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count...
PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY!
I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix.
Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.

UK must be prepared for a price shock from the Iran war | Heather Stewart
Trump’s snarky insult to the UK for sending aircraft carriers “late“ should result in the end of all diplomatic relations between the UK and the USA
For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs
Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
This is insane.
Blair is the last person who should be piping up.
Trump gets angry at Fox News' Peter Doocy for asking about Russia helping Iran to kill Americans during his roundtable on college sports.
Trump: "What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else."
Priorities for the US Commander in Chief.
Hegseth asked about Russia helping Iran to target Americans:
"We're not concerned about that... The only ones that need to be worried right now are Iranians that think they're going to live."
A grotesquely indiscriminate threat against the entire Iranian population.
Hegseth's statements are increasingly reminding me of comments by Israeli government leaders in the early stages the Gaza War - comments that are now being reviewed by the International Court of Justice.
The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer.

Everything about that is fucking gross
Want to know how broken our media is? We are in an illegal war, & reporters/anchors are getting on the phone with Trump daily & just…relaying his words to their viewers, like stenographers. No challenging questions or follow-ups, no discomforting of Trump.

WAR CRIME BY THE US.
An unarmed Iranian ship was takIng part in an Indian naval exercise, alongside the US.
The US withdrew and torpedoed the Iranian ship.
THEN the US refused to rescue the sailors, letting them drown.
This is treachery, cowardice, cruelty and a war crime of the highest order.
Oh.
"At the top of this bill, we will talk about kids… but when you actually open the hood, it’s being used as a smokescreen for everything that Big Tech lobbyists want.”
@ocasio-cortez.house.gov calls out Republicans’ partisan bill that lets Big Tech off the hook for kids’ online safety.
