The broadcaster had highlighted Musk’s role in encouraging anti-migrant protests in Northern Ireland that turned violent.

Palantir loses a legal challenge to force a Swiss magazine to publish responses.

The data analytics company loses on 22 out of 23 counts in a lawsuit disputing how Swiss government rejected the firm’s services.

The journalists argued Palantir’s legal action was prompted by a ‘failure narrative’ that the firm could not sell its products to Switzerland.

Fair warning:

if you push any kind of apologies for news media either mainstream or self-appointed as "independent", you're catching a mute or worse.

I've lived my entire life in #Argentina and was forced to watch them carry water for a military dictatorship and three neoliberal/conservative/borderline-fascist governments.

And spread misinformation because they couldn't be bothered to do better and after all it's just entertainment.

And run DISinformation campaigns for various special interests.

I learned to hate their unprofessional attitude, their self-congratulation and their whining against "censorship" long before I came of age.

So if you want to suck up to #Propaganda and #PsychologicalWarfare operators we're just not friends. Go vote for a nice Führer or something.

(If you want to teach me about the exceptions, DON'T. I know them. They're mostly dead: doing the right thing is lethally dangerous.)

New Adventures! 📖✨

Yesterday, I attempted my first "product/advertising shoot" for Mall le Brí magazine. Here are a couple of photos from it!
I've never done anything like this before and honestly had no idea what I was doing (Still don't to be honest 😂).

Anyway, all this to say that if you keep trying stuff you'll end up doing things you would have never imagined - like becoming a producer/interviewer/photographer for a magazine (Still not sure what this means to be honest. I just complete tasks 😂)

Have fun! Experiment! Get outside your comfort zone! ♥️
Nobody makes it out alive anyway!!

"I never expected to find my news from strangers on a federated social network that half the internet has never heard of. But there's something quietly beautiful about a place where people just share what they know. No brand deals, no engagement metrics, just someone who spent 20 years studying Arctic policy posting a thread at 2 AM because they think you should understand what's happening. It's the internet I was promised in 1996."

Leaving X.

German parties leaving, collectively, is more than a symbolic exit. It is a chance to reassess how and where political communication happens.

A platform’s relevance is not inherent. It is constructed through user behavior. And when influential users walk, the relevance begins to erode.

Russia’s Black Sea oil lifeline is under fire

The Tuapse refinery—one of Moscow’s most critical export hubs—has been repeatedly struck, triggering massive fires, toxic emissions, and halting shipments. This isn’t just damage—it’s a direct hit to the financial engine behind the war.

What happens when you can still refine oil… but can’t ship it?

Fires, toxic fallout, and a growing strategy to choke off war funding.

Simpson’s post comes after news that Israel had killed seasoned journalist Amal Khalil, in a targeted strike in southern Lebanon.

Israel's longstanding targeting of journalists has intensified sharply since October 2023.

In #Gaza, Israeli forces have killed at least 262 journalists during the genocide, while at least 22 media workers have been killed in #Lebanon.

Oh ffs. In 2026 alone dozens of journalists have been killed, murdered, by Israel, Russia and the USA. The White House has at the best of times been silent on this, and at other times actively argued the murdered journalists were at fault.

The reporters / journalists reporting on "the white house" barely questioned this.

And now you're the victim? For an event where in the end nothing happened, and with anything extremely unlikely to happen in the first place? Fuck off.
