  America today: "...they put him on a plane without telling him where it was headed and left him in a prison in a country he had never heard of, where nobody ever accused him of anything. He sat there for more than a year. No notice, no hearing, no chance to object. That is not due process by any definition.” https://apnews.com/article/eswatini-us-immigrant-released-from-prison-laos-c45975d61839e079acdabc3dfe2aacba Related: "...Soldiers in the African nation of Eswatini accidental...

  Cornell official says if you criticize their response to gang rape as being insufficient, you are hurting the victims. "...the false narrative that there were minimal consequences in this case is irresponsible, will make survivors feel less safe..."

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft/117369225190039735 some of us have been saying this for longer than OpenAI and Anthropic have existed. In 2012 I called it the Loch Ness problem. In 2016 I said Tesla AI would kill a lot of people because of such poor design. we will never find the AI monster, as the whole game is selling a mythological fear while failing to do the basics.

  Finland has been quiet lately. "...'small but growing risk' that Russia might launch a limited military offensive against one or more neighboring NATO countries in the near future." We used to say Finland could be in Moscow and wipe up Putin in a few days. Even easier today. https://www.kyivpost.com/post/85862

  I'm getting inbound requests from large investors to explain SpaceX news. What has this world come to when people can't see what's right in front of their eyes? I guess I'll have to write it up because nobody else is? Why?

  #spacex before launch: this will be our first marathon, defined by 10 laps. it's 2026 so we're right on schedule for our 2016 promise to have this done by 2017. #spacex after failure: we quit early after one lap, and we are declaring mission success for that lap. things are great and we puked our guts out so everything is exactly how we said it would go. https://apnews.com/article/spacex-starship-orbit-262d3c58d56bf7a525b49115d6c5dfe8

  RE: https://sauropods.win/@futurebird/117348654856039839 to be fair, a good history degree starts with the premise that libraries are vulnerable to data integrity breaches and it only gets worse without continuous effort from historians. I'll never forget being tasked "get in those stacks and report everything that's wrong"

  "'And who’s accusing us? Among them are people in Britain and in France. For God’s sakes, they invented the term,' he told the assembly."

  @randahl@mastodon.social a while ago I saw this framing from the Dutch too. pig meat export begs how many parts of the world have zero pig meat. it's curious to me who still is eating it, and why they get confused with being "the world". https://infosec.exchange/@flyingpenguin/117058838233477763

  Tesla Robotaxi fraud exposed by @electrek@mastodon.online "...8 is rough. That’s essentially where the service started in June 2025. Fifteen months later, after a “launch,” a Cybercab reveal, and hundreds of new registrations, the number of Tesla robotaxis actually carrying people in Austin in a given week hasn’t moved [beyond eight active]. That’s entirely because if Tesla deploys the system at scale, it would face too many accidents." https://electrek.co/2026/09/22/tesla-robotaxi...

  The US, as predicted for 30 years about war with Iran, is unable to defend against widespread attacks. Massive "damage to US installations across Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman, and Jordan". None of these countries can trust the US now, as they watch dozens of American military bases and airfields being destroyed. https://meidasnews.com/news/exclusive-images-show-severe-destruction-at-us-base-in-kuwait

  RE: https://mastodon.online/@danirabbit/117294673813745240 Meh. This is wrong and dangerous. Detroit ran "cars don't kill people, bad drivers do" for decades until Nader made the design the subject. It's the AI. Calling the people using it "stupid" grants the AI vendors the loophole. It's how AI Tesla keeps killing its "stupid" drivers.

  RE: https://toad.social/@KimPerales/117293150529626534 The only way this makes seems is in context of Trump saying he will "deport" 20 million people. That is a chart of concentration camp capacity. Forced labor is the next phase of fascism. When someone says "but the water" think about all the times Trump has complimented North Korea. Labor camps may turn off water, by design.
