"Not only has an ex-DOGE bro been accused of running around with the social security information of every American on a flash drive, he also may have the ability to edit and manipulate data at the Social Security Administration at will.”

Here's one reason I appreciate Talarico. Experimental research finds when self-identifying Christian leaders say "I'm a Christian and Christian nationalism is bad news for everyone," it can get those movable people in the middle to distance themselves from it. doi.org/10.1007/s111...

Cartoon. Title: “Energy Drink” Picture shows Methanex president and CEO Rich Sumner sucking the dregs out of a can labelled “NZ” and saying, “Just a minute - nearly done” On the can, in small print it says, “Consumes 45% of NZ’s Natural Gas. Pays $70m to Canadian Owner. Receives high ETS subsidies. Too broke to pay taxes”
Fuel shortages and rising prices. A proposal to import expensive and dirty LNG and impose a gas levy. And then there’s Methanex, sucking up 45% of our natural gas.

Memo to Aotearoa New Zealand!
Electrify everything, today.
remember when that cronenberg movie 'existenz' came out and it seemed like a fun and silly conceit for there to be freedom fighters taking on corporate conglomerates in an attempt to protect consensus reality from an ocean of digital hallucination

"Five presidential elections ago, before the Supreme Court’s 2010 ruling that lifted many remaining campaign finance restrictions, the share of billionaire spending was almost zero — 0.3 percent, to be precise."
Meanwhile, 300 billionaires & their family members donated more than $3 billion in 2024
Good grief a new low for RNZ, a headline and article that focuses on the pain for western consumers without one mention of hundreds of dead children and civilians in an illegal war undertaken by Israel/USA #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

Tommy Robinson is writing for Jerusalem Post, and that makes some people uncomfortable - opinion When journalism abandons the debate over ideas and focuses instead on policing who is permitted to speak, the search for truth quietly gives way to the enforcement of acceptable opinion. Tommy Robinson wears a UTK logo ("Unite The Kingdom") on his clothes as he is seen at a rally in solidarity with protesters in Iran on January 11, 2026 in London, England.

Robinson had previously tried to address “the Jewish Question” in a 2022 article which he deleted shortly afterwards. He divided the Jews into two types – acceptable ones and disreputable ones.

Iran's government is more hardline, its people are poorer and more isolated, the region's on fire, and the global economy feels like its about to go into shock
