In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Nejhorší je, že ta změna Rady ČT k horšímu se odehrála i během vlády Petra Fialy. Současná opozice tomu bránila minimálně.

Kdy se z liberálů stali takový šovinisti? (Who am I kidding 😊)

Worrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.

Absolutely horrific: Thanks to a false intelligence "generated with the help of artificial intelligence," the US military nearly carried out an operation aboard a Chinese ship because the incorrect intelligence said it was carrying nukes, according to @cnn.com. edition.cnn.com/2026/09/18/p...

You know who else has an unfair advantage in sport? Naturally talented athletes. And people with high hemoglobin. And rich people with money for sports camps and coaches. Why should they be allowed to compete? “Fairness in sports” my ass. Never since NFTs have I heard such bullshit.

The fact that the EU current account went into deficit in Q2 is not in itself concerning as this reflects the sudden rise in energy prices (EU exports increased). It is merely yet another reminder that the EU should (have) do(ne) more to invest in renewables. 1/2

In an address at West Jerusalem’s Gush Katif Museum, Israel’s Chief Rabbi David Yosef denied that Palestinians exist as a people and said they ‘have no rights’. He also claimed Gaza and occupied West Bank cities for Jews and called for Gaza’s destruction and Jewish settlement.

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

Been watching this saga unfold through my friends’ posts on Facebook, and lemme tell you, it’s been absolutely wild Omaha Police Chief and the mayor confirmed that he directed his officers to stop carrying the gloves in schools, but they will still carry tasers, batons, OC spray and firearms

I have long argued that one reason the US has outpaced Europe has been the willingness under successive presidents to run large fiscal deficits.The US hasn't met the Maastricht 3% deficit limit since 2008 (ex, just, in 2014/15). On average ⬆️ 6% of GDP. But now Europe is directly threatened. 1/10

Palantir wants Europe’s public money. Paying tax? Not so much. 💸 $1.66bn pre-tax profit 💸 $22.7m corporate tax worldwide 💸 1.4% effective tax rate Yet it keeps winning public contracts. The EU's procurement rules are being rewritten. Now is the moment to say: 𝗡𝗼 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗮𝘅 𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀!

When did it become normalized for the President of the United States to threaten to "bomb the shit out of" our allies—our *allies*—without that immediately leading to a serious conversation about whether he's mentally fit to serve as president
