“As a fellow portfolio company of Silver Lake, EA is now, just like Qualtrics, best understood as a surveillance operation.”

When the Saudis backed EA’s acquisition, they bought both cultural power and a surveillance infrastructure. It’s weird to see so much official disinterest in this move.

Inspired by Northwestern students protesting EdTech-delivered loyalty oaths, by the student-led Luddite Renaissance, by Matthew Josephson, Connie Bruck & @tressiemcphd.bsky.social, I tried to track how kleptocratic antitrust policy enables a surveillance megalith.

Happy Birthday, Chef!

It’s a real one’s 5th Birthday 🎉
Happy Birthday to Chef Aloysius!

What a five years it’s been — we call Chef a 24/7 dog because he’s always on IT, whatever IT is, from the moment he wakes up to the moment he knocks out.

These 1,826 days with him? Truly one for the books. ❤️🐾 #WeLoveYou 🐶

Of course he did. Bibi wagged the dog to get that man elected and cover up his own corruption. That was the entire point of all this.

Israel has awarded Donald Trump the country’s highest honor — the Presidential Medal of Honor, per office of Israeli President Isaac Herzog.

Netanyahu also presented Trump with a golden dove of peace.

BBC News explain that because of Brexit, Brits will be photographed and have their fingerprints taken when going into the EU, as the UK now is a third country

BBC News forget to explain that the UK helped create these rules when we were part of the EU because we wanted stronger border control

They’re tree rats. Makes sense not to trust them. They’re actually not to be trusted no matter how cute and fluffy their tail is. They’re rodents

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

Trump's Argentina Bailout. Paying for healthcare for Argentines while cutting healthcare for Americans

Dean Baker @deanbaker13.bsky.social · 2h

Paying for healthcare might be a problem for people here, but folks will be happy to know that Argentina's right-wing nutjob president says he has an unlimited supply of dollars from Donald Trump www.bloomberg.com/news/article... (The government pays for healthcare in Argentina.)

Argentina’s Economy Chief Says US Willing to Keep Buying Pesos

The thing about this whole ceasefire that galls me is the fact that it is known that Bibi was propping up Hamas rather than allow a duly elected leader of Palestine ascend to power. He essentially created this conflict and now wants to take credit to “resolving” it. The MSM is a disgrace.

Note who gets labeled as a hostage here. Why are Palestinians not also hostages?

NBC News @nbcnews.com · 2h

After the release of the 20 living Israeli hostages, Israel will release 250 Palestinians serving long terms in Israeli prisons, and 1,700 others detained in Gaza during the war.
