Dozens of developers who spoke to Ars in recent months say they’re wary of traveling to a country that has shown a callous disregard for—or outright hostility toward—the safety of international travelers.
Every time you see a Polymarket surge and someone makes bank on a conflict that was not public knowledge at the time the bet was placed, know that the administration is selling lives for cash.
It’s all out there for anyone to see (if they want to look). Let’s not forget Farage saying how Andrew Tate had ‘a lot to say to young men’ - a criminal sex-trafficker and sexual abuser.
Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.
They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.
BREAKING: The DOJ just DELETED a document in the Epstein Files that contained allegations made against Donald Trump.
But we saved it. 👇
I'm trying to formulate my thoughts about Don Lemon's arrest in terms other than "I told you so" and "it's only going to get worse, buckle up."
In the 1930s Hitler's Gestapo arrested, intimidated and simply disappeared countless journalists who questioned the regime under the guise of "undermining national morale". And that's where we are again now.

Trump’s FAA Makes It Practically Impossible To Legally Fly Drones

This is one of the biggest stories in America, comparable in scale to what’s happening in Minnesota. The largest social media platform is transferred to Trump’s allies and immediately forbids you from saying anything bad about him. Absolutely totalitarian in nature. No different than China.
The ICE murders in Minneapolis are a “glimpse of what happens when fear and loathing of migrants curdles into toxic tribalism, another grim warning for all those European voters flirting with the far-right and dark forces of nationalism.”
That’s Reform in the UK.

When this is all over I hope every ICE agent’s life is an endless nightmare of tension and inconvenience.

A few suggestions:
DOGE likely perpetrated the most serious, far-reaching data breaches in human history, and we will be dealing with the consequences for years.
Many DOGErs should have been, and still could be, prosecuted for these crimes.
Steam Machine Verified requirements will have 'fewer constraints' than Steam Deck, says Valve
Reform voters will never vote Tory again, apart from Nadhim Zahawi, Nadine Dorries, Jonathan Gullis, Ben Bradley, Danny Kruger, Jake Berry, Marco Longhi, Aiden Burley, Anne Marie Morris, Lee Anderson and Andrea Jenkyns.
All Reform councils to raise taxes despite campaign pledges.
According to recent study, one out of every three Reform voters is just as fucking stupid as the other two.

It is straight up a propaganda tool and decent people need to LEAVE it.
During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.
Venezuela now, because he wants the oil.
He wants the oil under Greenland too. And under Canada. He's openly called for them to be part of the USA.
How long before he decides to bomb a couple of NATO members to get his own way?
The USA is a rogue nation.
For years I watched established journalists fumble to explain trump. "Maybe he's playing 4D chess," they'd say.
No, he's just a stupid, impulsive criminal. And you normalised him.
Trump broke his constitutional duty to inform Congress.
The UN special rapporteur is calling for Trump to be investigated.
Trump promised to make a statement to the nation, and didn't.
There's no proof Maduro is even alive.
And Starmer can't find the words "I condemn this"

It’s so tediously boringly fucking obvious we’re being screwed over from a great height while governments utterly fail to protect the people who have elected them from billionaires preying on them.
