Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky
Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Friday night Tequila Tweet: Fuck people who push conspiracies and disinformation. And fuck people who knowingly lied about, and are still lying about, what happened in New Orleans & Las Vegas this past week. And fuck people who lie and spread fear of the other.

The miserable oaf won’t let anyone do better than him. He’s nervous as hell as OpenAI competes with his not-going-anywhere xAI. His fall will be inevitable and fantastic. p.s.Tesla is overrated and overpriced stock.
Elon Musk is asking a federal court in Northern California to block OpenAI from changing its structure, arguing that a nonprofit can’t walk away from its original mandate backed by donors like himself.
Elon Musk gets new support in growing lawsuit against OpenAI
New filings in Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI show two top tech investors back his allegation that the ChatGPT developer sought to unfairly quash competition.

Principle died a long time ago in Washington, but the GOP pushing to extend the debt ceiling for two years to allow the passage of tax cuts the CBO estimates will add $4.6 trillion to the deficit after spending the last four years lambasting democrats for deficit spending is next level hypocrisy.

Trump diehards already bizarrely claiming he secured the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire.

*maybe* the ‘Trump effect’ influenced some but the actual work to negotiate came from Biden’s administration.

It’s like being part of a school project - doing none of the work but still putting your name on it.

Trump has the smallest popular vote margin since 2000. His victory is by no means a “clear mandate” for anything.

NEW: President Biden given permission to Ukraine to use long range US missiles inside Russia for the first time.

Major change in US policy, two months before Trump takes office. Biden has authorised it in response to North Korean troops being deployed to the frontlines.

The preliminary sequence from the H5N1 human case in British Columbia has been posted and it is not good news. The virus potentially has a quasispecies at HA residue 226 (H3 numbering). This is bad news because we know that mutations at residue 226 can increase binding to human receptors. 1/

Slightly personal post - over the last year I struggled to continue with OSINT work, which is why I stood back, I became frustrated at those who didn’t appreciate the effort that was put in starting at imagery, the time, the personal sacrifices I made to try keep people informed.

Putin just cut off all gas to Austria to punish them for an Austrian court ordering Gazprom to pay Austria's oil giant OMV €240 million.

Putin did this to Ukraine in 2009, in winter also, people froze to death.

Russia will do to Europe everything they are doing in Ukraine.
