Local issues signpost wider salience/ relevance; this from an Axios article re a private (read ‘secret’) memo by the Senate GOP campaign to major AI companies, warning: “toxic views of U.S. data centers are killing the party's chances of holding a vital seat in Ohio.”
“State of play: Republicans say in the memo, headlined "Ohio Data Center Risk," that it's up to AI companies to improve perceptions of data centers by explaining "who benefits, who pays, and why a community should want one."“"Until that happens, the issue will continue to dominate this race…”
“The bottom line: The memo argues that a [candidate] Husted loss would cause long-lasting damage to AI companies in their push to build data centers nationwide to power future generations of AI.
“"If voters' perceptions of data centers are not fixed quickly, the campaign against them will expand far beyond Ohio," the party warns.”

"A French aircraft carrier was tracked in real time via a sailor’s Strava activity, exposing a persistent operational security flaw.
Le Monde revealed that France’s aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle was tracked in real time through an officer’s activity on the Strava app. A sailor unknowingly shared running data from the ship, exposing its location in the Mediterranean. The French sailor’s public Strava profile, set as “public,” revealed the near real-time location of the aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean, near Cyprus and Turkey."
This is not an isolated incident. In 2018, Strava’s global heatmap revealed the locations and patrol routes of military bases in places like Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq, simply because soldiers were recording their runs.
More recently, Strava data has exposed the movements of security teams protecting world leaders, including routes that revealed private residences and travel patterns.
There have even been cases where activity data from naval bases was used to infer submarine patrol schedules, based on when personnel suddenly stopped logging workouts.

[edit: I found them. It's @Ceejayevylyn - commission work with them!]
This is the piece of art I commissioned with my birthday money this year!
I'd had the idea of the message you often get in games, "enemies are vulnerable to their opposite elements", with regards to armed resistance, ICE and molotovs... but I have absolutely ZERO artistic skills.
I posted here about it, and was approached by CJ Evelyn who was interested in the idea as well.
Working with them was an absolute breeze! They were helpful and listened to exactly what I wanted, super communicative and absolutely helped me get the idea I wanted out of my aphantasic brain and into a visual artwork.
I'd love to tag them here, but their account got stolen and I can't find the new one - so, CJ.. if you're following me, please reach out so I can tag your account!
This is the watermarked image (I don't want their art stolen, but definitely feel free to repost with watermarks and credit!)
CJ, thank you again.
Everyone else, definitely recommend commissioning revolutionary art and definitely recommend commissioning from CJ.
Also. FUCK ICE and FUCK COPS.

Israel orders more than 500,000 people to evacuate Beirut’s southern suburbs
Instruction comes as Israel continues to bomb Lebanon and Iran, while Tehran launches retaliatory strikes
The Israeli military has ordered the entire population of Beirut’s southern suburbs to evacuate, as it continued to bomb Lebanon and Iran, while Tehran launched retaliatory strikes against Israel and US bases across the region.
An Israel Defense Forces spokesperson told all residents of Beirut’s southern suburbs – more than 500,000 people – to “save your lives and evacuate your homes immediately”, before Israel launched airstrikes on what he described as Hezbollah targets. The area covered by the order included several hospitals and government ministries.

Trump, ICE set to be handed access to Australians’ biometric data, ID documents
The Albanese government is giving the Trump administration and agencies like ICE access to Australians’ biometric data — and we’re not being told anything about it.

Americans are exceptionally anxious about their political system, new Gallup polling shows
About ⅓ of Americans rated politics & government as the top issue facing their nation, behind only Taiwan — which faces the prospect of an invasion from China.
Wealthier countries are more likely to list politics as a top issue, as are democracies. But the US stands out as a country that’s particularly concerned about the stability of its democratic system and whether it’s still possible to get ahead economically.
Economic anxiety is linked to the health of democratic systems, according to Brendan Nyhan, a Dartmouth political scientist. “A world where people aren’t optimistic about their economic futures is one in which they’re willing to destabilize institutions even further,” Nyhan said.
Americans 35 and under are most likely to list economic issues — including the affordability of food and shelter — as a top issue.

The US regime is willing to go to war and annex a sovereign country to (among other things) shield its pedophile president from prosecution. And to keep the ball rolling, why not invade Cuba, too?
If you think there'll be orderly, meaningful elections in the US this year, you're delusional
This is not about Maduro not being a good man or anything. Venezuela is its own country. So is Cuba, and Colombia. (And Ukraine, and Taiwan, for that matter.)

Juan Orlando Hernández, the former president of Honduras, has walked free after President Donald Trump pardoned him - a man once characterised as the key figure in a drug trafficking scheme that flooded America with over 400 tonnes of cocaine.

Oh, and apropos of nothing—did you know that the proven oil reserves in Venezuela are recognized as the largest in the world, totaling 300 billion barrels (4.8×1010 m3) as of 1 January 2014? -
A Chinese delegation may have been caught in the crossfire during recent events in Venezuela, according to the Telegram channel Baza.
The report states that about 10 hours before the US-led attack, a meeting took place in Caracas between Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and the special envoy of Chinese President Xi Jinping, during which bilateral cooperation was discussed.

I've told you all multiple times that what's happening in the US is a global push towards religious conservatism born out of Christian accelerationism being funded by the ultra-rich who want capitalist/technological accelerationism.

Alliance Defending Freedom, the conservative legal advocacy group behind the overturning of Roe v Wade, has ramped up its global spending on litigation and other campaigns, in what appears to be an attempt to export what critics call its hard-right Christian theocratic values beyond US borders

another excellent vid by Malcolm Nance on war crimes in #Venezuela
i wanted to add a fun reminder of something he didn't discuss:
ex-Philippine president #Duterte, whom Dotard Tumor praised for summarily executing drug dealers, was arrested by #Interpol & is in prison awaiting his trial for "crimes against humanity" by the Intl Criminal Court #ICC for ordering extrajudicial killings in his "drug war" while president
just saying 😉😁
