🇺🇦🔴Indians and Africans are flowing into Ukraine, and Ukrainians are starting to notice the massive numbers. Here, one woman films Indians washing their clothing in local rivers in the city of Ivano-Frankivsk. The caption reads: "They are renting an apartment to Indians here, but it looks like the water hasn't been turned on yet." On May 23, a protest against the influx of immigrants took place on Maidan. Demonstrators chanted slogans "Ukraine for Ukrainians" and "White Ukraine." As Ukrainian men die at the front by the tens of thousands, the Zelensky government is importing their replacements. The government is considering bringing in even larger numbers in the future.

🚨 THE ENTIRE AI BOOM MIGHT BE BUILT ON FAKE REVENUE. Latest corporate filings show that OpenAI and Anthropic alone make up over half of the entire $2 trillion future cloud backlog held by Microsoft, Oracle, Google, and Amazon. This massive pipeline is actually being created through a circular accounting trick called a round trip revenue loop. But how it works ? A tech giant gives billions of dollars to an AI startup as an "investment". But hidden in the contract is a strict rule forcing the startup to hand that exact same money straight back to the tech giant to rent their computer servers. Look at the documented case of Microsoft and OpenAI. When Microsoft invested $13 billion into OpenAI, it didn't just give them cash; it gave them "cloud credits" to use Microsoft servers. OpenAI used those exact credits to train its AI models, and Microsoft then turned around and recorded that server usage as brand new "cloud revenue" from a customer. The tech giant is literally paying itself with its own money and calling it a sale. This is why OpenAI’s annual cloud bill has ballooned to over $60 billion, double its actual revenue of $25 billion, kept alive solely by this recycled funding loop. Anthropic runs the exact same play, spending $2.66 billion on Amazon Web Services in just nine months, which was basically 100% of all the money it earned at the time. This manufactured demand triggers a second accounting trick where tech giants book massive paper profits. Every time a startup gets a higher value from a new funding round, the tech giant updates the value of its investment on its books and counts that unearned paper gain as direct profit. In Q1 2026, Alphabet reported a record $62.6 billion profit, but $28.7 billion nearly half, was just a paper markup on its Anthropic investment. In the same quarter, Amazon reported $30.3 billion in profit, but $16.8 billion of it was just an Anthropic paper gain. While Amazon reported record profits, its actual free cash flow collapsed 95% to just $1.2 billion because it had to spend $44.2 billion in real cash to build physical data centers. This has created a massive danger where these giant companies rely heavily on just one or two unstable startups. Microsoft has 49% of its $627 billion future backlog tied to OpenAI, while Oracle has an incredible 54% of its entire $553 billion pipeline relying on OpenAI alone. This perfectly mirrors the 2001 dot-com crash when Global Crossing and Qwest Communications swapped identical fiber-optic network capacity with each other just to book fake sales. Qwest had to erase $1.4 billion in fake income, and Global Crossing went completely bankrupt. The only difference is that the dot-com swaps were illegal, but today's AI loop is fully legal under current accounting rules. This legal loop inflates tech company stock prices, forcing automatic retirement accounts and index funds to buy even more of these tech stocks. It is a self feeding loop where investments, sales, and stock prices all go up on paper without the AI technology ever making real cash profits.

It's neat how they keep saying "well vetted" when the denial rate for H1b applications is around 2.8%

🚨🇪🇺 HUGE! Ursula DECLARES the European Union will move away from Unanimous Voting. "We need to use the momentum of the Hungarian elections, to push for qualified majority voting!" Smaller states have lost their voting power in the European Union!

China is now shipping it's own GPUs. This is the Lisuan LX 7G1000. But everyone is missing the point. - You can get 88fps in Cyberpunk 2077. - It has no dedicated ray-tracing hardware. - On rasterization it performs better than a 3060 in synthetic benchmarks. - Real work game perf put it lower than a 5060 which beats it by about 30% and costs $300 instead of $485. The issues isn't that China shipped a so-so card at a high price point, it's that they shipped one at all. The previous barriers to their design, software and hardware capabilities are dropping fast. We might see competitive GPUs out of China sooner than we think.

I've heard Indian and Pakistan men convicted of rape in the UK are no longer making it to sentencing... They are mysteriously found dead.
