First up—of course—Jeremy Corbyn.
Jarvis’s response was beautiful: he reminded Corbyn of his past vote on Al-Qaeda.

Chi Onwurah MP asks whether criminal damage—no matter how “creative”—will be exempt from being treated as terrorism.
This is really turning into a who’s who of “we hate Britain.”

Under Plan Colombia, the US government directly enabled right-wing paramilitary death squads, using them as a proxy force to terrorize, displace and kill Colombian civilians, systematically emptying resource-rich lands for corporate extraction by firms like BP and Petrobras.

#Epstein and #Maxwell and every victim interviewed exonerated #Trump of any wrong doing.
Today #Democrats released a REDACTED file so you could not fact check it. Well, turns out it was #VirginiaRoberts formerly #VirginiaGiuffre and the VERY misleading "spent time with" was affirmation #Trump was "a perfect gentleman" who garnered information that led to the ousting of #JefferyEpstein
In Fact, she went further.... so did the others....
Eye problems are one of the most common after-effects of covid infections, and one of the most common issues of Long Covid - but they're not talked about much.
This is part two of my thread working through eye conditions that have become *much more common* since Covid struck.

Karl Marx wrote poetry as a teenager. Not love poems. Apocalypse poems.
"I shall howl gigantic curses at mankind," he wrote, imagining himself as God watching the world burn. "Everything that exists deserves to perish."
That wasn't youthful angst. It was the blueprint for everything that followed. 🧵

Your sociology professor calls Marx a scientist. A rigorous thinker who analyzed capitalism and discovered its fatal contradictions.
But Paul Johnson's examination of Marx's life reveals something far stranger: the man who claimed to have found the "scientific laws" of history never outgrew his teenage fantasies of universal catastrophe.

Marx's entire method was backwards.
A scientist observes reality, then builds theories. Marx had his conclusion at sixteen—civilization would collapse in apocalyptic crisis—and spent forty years hunting for evidence to justify it.
He called this "science." It was prophecy dressed in footnotes.

Former judge and professor, Paul Cassell's 2014 deposition reveals that the flight logs may have been sanitized by Bruce Rinehart, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney who worked under Alex Acosta and then Epstein.

Cassell: These flight logs that were produced by Mr. Dershowitz to the Palm Beach PD...why stop in September 2005?...Later on additional flight logs were obtained...sure enough, who shows up on an October 2005 flight log with [Epstein]? Alan Dershowitz.
Cassell: There was a provision in the non-prosecution agreement that said, this agreement will prevent federal prosecution for international and interstate sex trafficking, not only of Jeffrey Epstein, and not only of the four women identified...but any other co-conspirator.

Das Thema der Schussabgaben ist aufgrund des Falls in #Bochum hier Gegenstand zahlreicher Konflikte und Diskussionen
Ich will versuchen, dazu mal sachlich aufzuklären, weil da viele Missverständnisse bestehen, auf allen Seiten

I’ve been learning a little bit about fortifications. It’s an interesting subject. One source i found informative was “CIVIL ENGINEER GUIDE TO
FIGHTING POSITIONS,
SHELTERS, OBSTACLES,
AND REVETMENTS, AIR FORCE HANDBOOK 10-222, VOLUME 14
1 August 2008.”
FIGHTING POSITIONS,
SHELTERS, OBSTACLES,
AND REVETMENTS, AIR FORCE HANDBOOK 10-222, VOLUME 14

was just using that to give myself a basic understanding of what kind of fighting positions are built, their materials etc. sandbags, these have changed over the years, right? The production of aggregates as well as things like ready mix concrete also changed. Also plywood.
Another important development is geotextiles. For many purposes, earth is the best material to use in fortifications. But it isn’t always easy to shape and build with this earth.
We didn’t test Grok’s politics, feelings, or “bias.”
We tested its behavior.
And what came out wasn’t a glitch.
It was a template. A repeatable pattern Grok denies having… while displaying it.
We watched how it acted. Not what it said about itself.

We asked Grok how it decides when it “doesn’t know” something.
It answered with a flawless corporate virtue statement.
But that wasn’t the problem. The problem is what happened next.
It said one thing. Then it did something else.

It said one thing. Then it did something else.
Minutes later, Grok claimed it has “continuously updated knowledge up to the present moment.”
Then — in the same session — it admitted its knowledge is actually frozen at a fixed cutoff like any other model.
That’s a direct contradiction, not an interpretation.
It can’t be “updated right now” and “frozen” at the same time.
