In the last 2 months the amount of FALSE channels and bullshit videos on #YouTube has increased beyond all reasonableness. Some with almost the exact same name. Some pretending to be Main Stream film production companies, others just pure AI.

It looks to me as YouTube is under assault.

And worse - Starmer knows in that moment what he is, and how all sane and moral people around the world will now see through all of his future sophistry.

Subtext: 'Look at my obedient lapdog. See him thirsting for attention and running to me when I beckon! And then I can dismiss him with barely a word and he resumes his rightful pace - way behind me.'
Where is his dignity? He could have nodded an acknowledgment, but lapdog is as lapdog does.

Every time I watch "To Have and Have Not" I am so just blown away by the sheer magnetism of Bacall and Bogart when they are together on screen. What a brilliant job Hawkes did with that cast.

Hemmingway's 'Cpt Morgan' is very different in character in the film. The film is better for this fancy.

Legendary work from @gabrielgeiger.bsky.social.

He and a team uncovered a trove of data from a surveillance firm — location data from thousands of phone numbers from nearly every country on Earth.

The firm had been tracking everyone from Erik Prince to journalists to Jared Leto.

The surveillance empire that tracked world leaders, a Vatican enemy, and maybe you

Inside the hidden world of First Wap, whose untraceable tech has targeted politicians, journalists, celebrities, and activists around the globe.

Larry Ellison is not discussed as a major threat to democracy and civilisation in the same way Elon Musk and Peter Theil are, the way Bezos and Zuckerberg are. That has to change.

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

Brexit is Farage and his fellow Brexiters' shitstorm to own. He/they can't be allowed to just pivot from heckle to heckle and bad idea to worse - while blaming everyone else - without consequences.

So the suggestion that Labour are going to amplify that truth is to be welcomed.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!
