Over a million dollars has been wagered on whether Russia will capture Pokrovsk on Polymarket. There are also bets on Vovchansk.

While Ukrainians are defending their country and dying, some people are trying to profit from it. I have no words. Their "high moral" principles are off the charts.

People seem to be totally incapable of delineating the difference between descriptive and prescriptive.

What a deprived piece of shit.
Palantir CEO Alex Karp laughs about profiting from killing Palestinians using AI.

He calls them 'Hamas' 'useful idiots' and 'mostly terrorists'.

But there is only one terrorist here, Palantir are war criminals.

OPINION: Tomorrow, Seán Binder and 23 other defendants will stand trial in Greece for volunteer work rescuing migrants at risk of drowning at sea.

These charges are part of a trend sweeping Europe that's criminalizing solidarity.
People who save lives should not be criminalized
European governments are not only failing people seeking protection, they’re also punishing those who try to fill that dangerous gap.

Click through and read the assignment feedback, which was constructive, kind, and frankly very gentle. Suspending the instructor over this is a deranged overreaction in support of a clearly bad faith student, and the university choosing this action is once again another stain on higher education.

A ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon took effect a year ago today.

Since then, Israel has violated the ceasefire nearly 10,000 times: 7,500 violations of Lebanese airspace and almost 2,500 ground violations, according to the UN.
