  1. Out of curiosity… if missile trails replaced airplane contrails over your city’s skyline tomorrow, would you still trust your government’s "peace dividend"? 😳
    Gulf allies are waking up to shattered malls and burning runways—attacked not for what they *are*, but who they *host*. When did safe havens become battlegrounds? 💥

  2. #Oil #tankers attacked near Strait of #Hormuz as Iran #conflict disrupts #shipping

    source: worldoil.com/news/2026/3/1/oil…

    One #incident occurred just north of #Oman with the second further south, #UK Maritime #Trade Operations Centre, said. Oman’s Maritime #Security agency confirmed the Skylight tanker — a small #ship that appears to be sanctioned by the U.S. A second, the MKD Vyom, was struck further south, about 50 miles from the #MiddleEast country’s coast, according to a Norwegian rescue service.

    It appears to be shaping up to be a #dirty #war, and by eliminating the #leadership, the US has demonstrated that there will be no #negotiations until the #regime is gone. With its back against the wall, #Iran is now fighting with all means available, and as is always the case in war, many innocent people will #suffer as a result.

  5. Webspace Invaders - Matthias Ott

    (…) In their hunger for data to train their large language models, companies from all over the world are systematically harvesting every word I’ve ever published, feeding it into their language models to keep them fresh – and the side effect, the collateral damage, is that Kevin in Montreal now can’t read my articles because my hosting provider decided the solution was to block Canada and half the rest of the world.
    I sat there staring at those logs for a while. The irony wasn’t lost on me. This is my little corner of the web. My writing. With my weird little style mixer up there in the top right. And now it is simultaneously being strip-mined by AI companies and effectively made inaccessible to actual humans around the world who might want to read it.
    This is where we are in 2026. (…) Yes, the AI companies need to do better. They actually should throttle their scraping to reasonable levels. They actually should respect the limited resources of small sites. They actually should develop industry standards that don’t externalize costs onto individuals who are just trying to share their work. (…) matthiasott.com

    I can't help but getting really really angry about all this and what it does to the web I used to love.

    @DemocracyNow_Headlines_rss We do the suffering for their losses and gains. We are the #collateraldamage and #cannonfodder. The disregard they display towards their victims is the same disregard they have for all of us. Take a deep breath and Sit with that for a moment. 2/3

  8. #Cloudflare submitted a #complaint to the #US Trade Representative, arguing that foreign #siteblocking efforts, particularly in Italy, Spain, and France, are becoming significant #tradebarriers for #USbusinesses. Cloudflare claims these measures, intended to combat #piracy, often result in the #overblocking, causing #collateraldamage. torrentfreak.com/cloudflare-te #tech #media #news

  9. A quotation from Wendell Berry

    The National Security Strategy defines terrorism as “premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against innocents” (p. 5). This is truly a distinct kind of violence, but to imply by the word “terrorism” that this sort of terror is the work exclusively of “terrorists” is misleading. The “legitimate” warfare of technologically advanced nations likewise is premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against innocents. The distinction between the intention to perpetrate violence against innocents, as in “terrorism,” and the willingness to do so, as in “war,” is not a source of comfort.

    Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist
    Essay (2003-02-09), “A Citizen’s Response,” sec. 1, paid advertisment, New York Times

  11. It was easier to locate the individuals in their private houses.

    “We were not interested in killing operatives only when they were in a military building or engaged in a military activity. On the contrary, the IDF bombed them in homes without hesitation, as a first option. It’s much easier to bomb a family’s home. The system is built to look for them in these situations.”

  12. The "Costs of War" project, based at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, estimates that the total death toll in post-9/11 wars – including Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria and Yemen – could be at least 4.5-4.7 million:

    Blair is one of the Western leaders who shares complicity for this appalling death toll: mondediplo.com/2003/07/01ramon

    State lying has been thrown down the memory hole by media outlets who welcome him with open arms.
