24th Oct 2026 - Dark headlines for AI cybersecurity this week but the momentum of AI seems unstoppable, and some bright spots too. Just mind-blowing how authentic the AI voice model Dessa sounds, and only trained on real conversations, not text or pre-training models. #FortyFoot

Bloody hell......Netflix your growth woes are sorted!!
The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

us special envoy steve witkoff to president putin: “you talk so much about my president, president trump, being a humanitarian. you are a humanitarian also, sir, and i salute that.” truly hard to watch.

21st October 2026 - this Musk and Trump conspiracy to assist Russian terrorism looks like it’s attracting unusually bi-partisan revulsion. The masks are truly off now. Sickening stuff #Seapoint

17th Oct 2026 - what a week! Quite a lot can happen in half a Scaramucci. Less clear is why Anthropic valued at $2 trillion needs to borrow at rates above 10% from Blackstone. One of those numbers is wrong… #FortyFoot

Aiding and abetting the enemy..... there used to be public executions (not livestreamed) for that kind of activity 🧐🧐🧐🧐
Reuters: The order to limit a satellite system used by Ukraine ​for battlefield communications and drone operations came from inside the White House, according to two US officials and a Western official briefed on the matter. The officials said ‌leaders at the Defense Department received a message that the SpaceX Starshield service for the Ukrainian military needed to be slowed.

Hypothetical versus factual siding with Putin, MBS, Orban etc….
Replying to @VoteHub
Few decisions have damaged our country more than when the American media went all-in for the Democratic Party regardless of policy, loyalty to country, or consequences. Today's media & Democratic Party would have sided with Tojo and Hitler. #maga #based #GOP #Democrat #walkawayThe suppression polls pushing DNC pablum have been activated once again, and so we must endure the incessant charade of pundits treating them like serious analysis for the next few weeks. Fake Democrat-paid account. #maga #based #GOP #Democrat #walkaway
