"We are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere" is the sort of line that gets edited out of an anime villain's evil monologue for being a bit much.
Ogles: "It's important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are quite frankly a protectorate of the US. They've been in relationship with Denmark - that needs to end. We've spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes... we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

When asked if Palantir would sell data they processed in their NHS contract, jibbering CEO Alex Karp said that would be "up to the govt."
As the govt is filled with amoral careerists who know they'll lose the next election & have nests that need feathering after politics, what might the answer be?

It would basically come at close to zero cost for outlets like Bloomberg to delete their X accounts, and "We don't want to use a non-consensual deepfake abuse app as a comms platform" is a fine excuse

I’m afraid the question “Can a more polite, well-spoken, middle class version of Union flag-fucking racist incitement defeat the fascist, violent thug kind?” has been answered over and over again, and the answer has always been “Nope”. There is no excuse for not noticing.

The minimum sound level for a ship horn at 1 meter distance for a ship >200m is 143dB. For a vessel less than 200m but larger than 75m it should be a minimum of 138dB. She didn't expect that... 😅

Iranian authorities are brutally cracking down on nationwide protests with lethal force, killing at least 27 protesters and bystanders and injuring many more.
Authorities should halt the unlawful use of force and release those arbitrarily detained.

I ask what and when the UK government will be informed about the operation. Will we have any say on its nature?
