Now that Elon Musk has taken a nearly 10% stake in Twitter and has become a board member, he has spent his days mostly trolling the social media site…on Twitter. 

But if you look closely, Musk’s “trolling” also appears to be moving the ball for positive change forward at the social media company – Musk is a force large enough that Twitter must pay attention to him; something that the social media site has never had to deal with in the past (although it certainly has needed it).

Last weekend saw Finland’s Prime Minister Sanna Marin signal a complete reversal of policy direction, saying that a “new security environment” in Europe brought on by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine means the country has to rethink its long-standing policy of neutrality toward the NATO bloc. “Russia is not the neighbor we thought it was,” she 

In a hugely provocative announcement, Slovakia on Friday has said the NATO country has donated its S-300 air defense system to Ukraine to “help it defend against Russia’s aggression,” according to a statement from Prime Minister Eduard Heger.

The official Slovakia in NATO Twitter account also confirmed that it is “stepping up its support to Ukraine” by sending the “S-300 air defense system to Ukraine, so it can defend itself against ongoing Russian aggression.

Exacerbating this situation is the lack of media literacy on the part of so many citizens and the power of big tech to control so much of what we see.

Leur société et la nôtre – Frédéric Lordon

« Évidemment, ils se sont goinfrés comme des porcs ». « Ils », McKinsey. Le propos est « entendu de la bouche d’un homme au cœur du système ». On ne sait pas qui est l’homme. Mais on sait qui rapporte ses propos. C’est Jean-Dominique Merchet, éditorialiste bizarre, entendre : reconnu par la corporation « éditorialiste » quoique faisant souvent écart à sa ligne d’uniforme imbécillité.

Quelle conclusions tirer du quinquennat d’Emmanuel Macron ? Pour l’association Attac, le bilan est sombre : mesures liberticides, politique néolibérale, dégradation de l’éducation, des droits sociaux, du système de santé, de la culture ou encore des droits humains. A l’approche de l’élection présidentielle, Blast reçoit Annick Coupé et le dessinateur Allan Barte pour qu’ils exposent leur vision du quinquennat.

As Bitcoin Magazine’s Casey Carillo writes, “there’s seemingly few people who arouse such polarized responses in the Bitcoin community as Peter Thiel. Love him or hate him, he’s an exceptionally influential individual in modern finance and tech, and when it was announced that he would be speaking at Bitcoin 2022 in Miami, many were curious what he would say.”

In an unexpectedly candid admission, the Kremlin has admitted to Western press on Thursday that now into the sixth week of the Russian invasion of Ukraine its forces have sustained “significant losses.”

Fourth deadly attack in Israel in past two weeks.

The situation for Palestinians is “beyond occupation.”

Anti-asbestos activists say the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) victory lap over their ban of one type of asbestos is premature and that legislation is needed to completely ban the harmful substance once and for all. 

Earlier this week, the EPA moved to ban the ongoing use of the only known type of raw asbestos that is currently imported into the United States, nearly 50 years after the first regulation on asbestos products was implemented.

via How To Kill A Sacred Cow podcast: James Corbett of The Corbett Report joins us to talk about the bait and switch narratives used by authoritarians to enact ever harsher controls on the proles. If the history of the media has taught us anything, it's that it is a tool used to frame events that conform to agendas hashed out in smoke filled rooms to benefit the few, while the rest of us do the killing and sacrificing. Not a bad deal for them; a raw deal for us.

McKinsey saison 2, c’est l’histoire d’un scandale qui enfle depuis plusieurs mois. L’État français a pris pour habitude de s’adjoindre des cabinets privés pour l’aider dans ses missions et ses réformes, souvent en doublon de sa propre administration publique, pour un coût exorbitant : on parle de près d’un milliard d’euros, juste pour 2021, et dont les résultats sont… discutables, principalement des PowerPoint et quelques pages de rapports qui sentent bon la novlangue managériale.

Multiple days following Kiev alleging mass killings of civilians committed by Russian forces in the Ukrainian town of Bucha which has been driving headlines in the West, China has weighed in for the first time, also as the EU and US ratchet sanctions on Moscow over what they say are clear war crimes.
