State Department official calls for pre-crime approach to combat "far-left terrorists" to prevent "plots before they happen."

The Trump administration has imposed a permanent 12.5 per cent tariff on Australian goods after accusing Canberra of failing to adequately police forced labour in its supply chains.

I often wonder if this is why you so commonly see the sentiment that we are in an era of uniquely bad literature, or at least that the fact that most books don't have artistic aspirations and are not aiming to be anything other than mindless entertainment is new. In fact what's new is the idea that everything is worth preserving (and also the internet making it easier to preserve it). The dumb artistically unambitious trash books of the past have survived only sporadically, because people thought of them as literally disposable.

New York State Governor Kathy Hochul on Tuesday signed an executive order barring the construction of new "hyperscaler" data centers using 50 megawatts or more of power for up to one year.

It is the first statewide data center ban in the U.S., though similar measures, also referred to as "moratoriums", are being considered by other states.

I'm just gonna slide this on in here for anyone that is interested in preserving old games. They take it very seriously too, they want an archive of every single game. Like, they have lists of every game ever released for a system, and once that system gets old enough, they add it to their archive and start collecting. Their latest addition was the Xbox 360, they opened that vault up in September 2022, and proudly announced they'd finished their collection of games for it back in April.

Also, while their game archives are almost entirely complete, they've got another project of archiving the manuals that came with those games, and that is... considerably less well filled out. Their collection of Xbox 360 manuals is especially rough, they've only gotten manuals for three games. So if you've got some Xbox 360 games kicking around, and the manual's still with them, please consider scanning them and submitting them to the site!

Trump has no leverage over Iran. In his terms: they have all the cards.

The only thing he could offer them that would be of interest to them is his head or Netanyahu's head. The day will come when Iran bombs Trump properties overseas. None of this will be over until Iran exacts revenge on Trump. HATE endures in the Middle East. It is culturally taught and carries forward. Trump has no off ramp. He will end up capitulating with a deal far, far worse than what Obama had negotiated.
