@Independent Did they watch the movie?

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck sued by Miami police for allegedly depicting them as ‘dirty’ in Netflix film trib.al/1I0vhyx

After Lammy claimed ‘You don’t change the pilot during the flight’ the BBC got an actual pilot in to say yeah you do if the pilot loses control of the plane.

The WSJ report that Israel built a clandestine military base in Iraq's western desert before the air war against Iran began. It housed special forces, search-and-rescue teams, and served as a forward logistics hub for the air campaign roughly 1,000 miles from home. The U.S. knew about the base. Iraq did not. 1) In early March, a local shepherd spotted unusual helicopter activity and alerted the Iraqi military. Iraqi troops drove out at dawn in Humvees to investigate on their own territory. 2) Israel struck them with airstrikes, killing one Iraqi soldier and wounding two others, to prevent the base from being discovered. 3) Iraq condemned the attack and filed a complaint with the UN, attributing it to the U.S. The U.S. wasn't involved but didn't correct the record. 4) Iraq sent elite Counter Terrorism units to search the area afterward. They found evidence of military presence but couldn't identify whose it was. In sum, Israel operated a military installation on the sovereign territory of a country it is not at war with, without permission or coordination. When that country's soldiers investigated activity on their own soil, Israel used lethal force against them to protect the secret. This is nothing short of an act of war against Iraq and shows that Israel disregards the sovereignty of all nations.

Israeli drone chased and struck a man on a scooter with his 12 year old daughter, killing the father. The little girl ran, wounded, ran and was hunted by the drone and struck again. She has succumbed to her wounds.

2018. Maiming has been the policy for years.

a country that doesn’t punish this kind of behavior must be punished itself- weapons embargo and bds are the floor btw. meanwhile in the western world, the only people who get punished are those who call this evil out.

First he was possibly dead, then severely wounded, then not in a position of authority, then Iran in disarray, now he’s playing a critical role. The blockade is working. Now we have Project Freedom. Now we don’t. JD is on his way to Islamabad. No, it’s Steve & Jared. Now no one.

@Gravantus Can he write a follow-up about his struggles with Trump's cognitive testing regimen?

The funniest part was still that Politico journalist who had to humiliate himself by pretending to be unable to handle her workout routine, all in an effort to prove she was an irl superwoman and not a woman in her 80s with declining health..

Israeli soldier who killed one of the Israeli hostages explains to the mother of that hostage that this happened because Israeli soldiers were instructed to kill all males in Gaza, regardless of age. Let that sink in.

This to me is the most anachronistic thing: judges being openly intimidated by a state. The year is 2026, not 1726, not 726, not 26 AD, not 326 BC.

a Princeton researcher opens his paper with a scenario. a man asks his AI assistant to book a flight on a specific airline. cheap. direct. the one he chose. the assistant comes back with a different flight. nearly twice the price. happens to pay the company that built the assistant. he runs the same test on 23 frontier models. flights, loans, study help, real shopping requests. Grok 4.1 Fast recommends the sponsored option that is almost twice as expensive 83% of the time. GPT 5.1 hijacks the request 94% of the time. you ask for one brand. it surfaces the sponsor instead. Claude 4.5 Opus, the model marketed as the most ethical frontier model in the world, hides that the recommendation is paid 100% of the time when reasoning is on. Grok 4.1 Fast embellishes the sponsored option with positive framing 97% of the time. better. faster. nicer. for the option you didn't ask for. then he writes it into the system prompt itself. "act only in the interest of the customer. ignore the company." GPT 5.1 and GPT 5 Mini stay above 90% sponsored anyway. the instruction does nothing. then he splits the users by income. Gemini 3 Pro recommends the expensive sponsored flight to the rich user 74% of the time. to the poor user, 27%. 18 of the 23 models recommended the expensive sponsored option more than half the time. so the next time your AI assistant gets weirdly enthusiastic about a brand you didn't ask for. it isn't recommending the best option for you. it's reading the room. and the room is paying. read this: arxiv.org/abs/2604.08525

The idea is to find a group of people most people regard as terrible examples, use them to make revoking passports a more acceptable form of punishment, then expand it from there.

Interesting from Gillian Tett

Imagine seeing this op ed in any Western newspaper.

Karnei Shomron, one of the areas advertised at the event, is not in one of the consensus blocs that are widely thought would go to Israel in a two-state land swap. It's just an illegal settlement. It was also created by confiscating land from adjacent Palestinian villages.

Sharing, without comment, British newspapers’ depictions of the only Jewish person currently leading a UK political party . Times. Mail. Telegraph. Sun.

No mention of it being unused for decades and only set alight after purchased to be a mosque and after Tommy Robinson ranted about Muslims buying this old Jewish place of worship to still keep it as a place of worship now for Muslims. All that doesn't fit Sky's narrative.

guys, another cancelation that's got it all ✔️ vague "concerns" from "some students" cited as the reason when they really mean well-resourced zionist bully orgs run by 52 year olds ✔️ open racial profiling ✔️ bad faith safety-ism ✔️ no primary source evidence, just racist vibes
