14+ min ago (198+ words) Last week The Washington Post launched yet another anti-Trump hoax, portraying Secretary of War Pete Hegseth as the perpetrator of ruthless war crimes based on anonymous sources. Now The New York Times is debunking the Post's information operation. Yes, the story is so flimsy that even The New York Times called it out (the same Times that once earned a Pulitzer Prize for peddling the Russia-collusion hoax). "But, each official said, Mr. Hegseth's directive did not specifically address what should happen if a first missile turned out not to fully accomplish all of those things," the Times reported, before mentioning The Washington Post and the "uproar" it catalyzed with its initial story about the matter. "The Post article did not provide context on when Mr. Hegseth gave what its sources described as a spoken order to kill everyone," the Times…...

1+ hour, 3+ min ago (268+ words) By enshrining the rigid and the mundane rather than the fluid and the sublime, art dies twice: first as an object of creative expression, and second as catalyst for invention. Like the Canaanite god Moloch, Goodhart's Law demands sacrifice. What can save us from a bureaucracy that asks for proof is patronage that offers faith. Founders, hackers, and artists work better as a dense, interconnected ecosystem. This is reemerging today, but the guilds, the small presses, and the community arts centers that form the foundation of a healthy, creative culture are still struggling to coalesce. If we all choose to support their growth, we can be the pillars on which new cathedrals rest. Kl'ver always viewed his work as a dialogue: the artist provides the questions and the engineer provides the means, but neither can move forward alone. If Silicon…...

1+ hour, 4+ min ago (337+ words) The owner of a cocktail and karaoke bar where solo drinkers are banned says he is baffled by the furore it has caused on social media as the policy is "for the safety of all guests". Carl Peters said the no-single-entry policy after 21:00 had been in place since the opening of Alibi in Altrincham, Greater Manchester, in 2022. He told the BBC it was to "mitigate risk" and "protect his customers" from being "mithered" by solo drinkers. He posted a reel on Instagram earlier this month about the policy after saying someone had accused him of discrimination. He said he was "astounded" by the ensuing criticism, describing his venue as an "inclusive and safe environment". Mr Peters explained there were two reasons why he introduced the policy. Firstly, if someone on their own has a seizure or an accident with no-one…...

1+ hour, 11+ min ago (1810+ words) Republican leadership is tiring of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Top conservatives have started to publicly voice their discontent with Trump's appointed war chief, as reports circulate about a Pentagon decision to mercilessly kill survivors of a drone strike in the Caribbean on September 2. Republicans have been practically mute as Hegseth's careless, monthslong killing spree has claimed the lives of at least 83 people. But GOP-led panels in the House and Senate are dialing up their scrutiny of the Pentagon, demanding a full account of the September boat strikes. The Republican chairmen of the Senate and House Armed Services committees are both demanding audio and video of the incident. "We're going to conduct oversight, and we're going to try to get to the facts," vowed Senator Roger Wicker. Senator Thom Tillis told CNN that he was still trying to understand whether Hegseth…...

In the letter, Combs" attorney, Michael Tremont, argues that Netflix was in violation of contractual agreements after it had originally met with Combs in 2023 to create his own documentary.

1+ hour, 26+ min ago (1682+ words) In a recent five-page memo to staff at the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), the center director and FDA Chief Medical Officer Vinay Prasad'committed to acknowledging "for the first time" that Covid shots "have killed American children." The report outlining the deaths that Prasad repeatedly references is not yet public.'His paragraph-by-paragraph analysis of the U.S. government's response to Covid, the Covid jab, and the Biden administration's shot mandates, however, reveals more in detail about the role the FDA played in ignoring the adverse events regulatory agencies and media repeatedly claimed did not happen. In the first paragraph of the letter to his staff, Prasad declared that 10 children "have died after and because of receiving COVID-19 vaccination." These deaths, he continued, were not only classified by staff as "likely/probable/possible attribution" to the jab, but also "certainly an…...
