CBS heavily edited Trump's interview on 60 Minutes. The black and white clips did not appear in Sunday night's broadcast. The network removed sections where Trump made false claims and fabrications. This is part of his explanation about the war in Ukraine.

The Roman multangular tower part of the city walls surrounding York. The upper section is a medieval rebuild but the red tile course and small regular stone blocks are original sections of the legionary fortress wall. #romanbritain #Archaeology #York

When Pete Hegseth fired Vice Admiral Nancy LaCore after 35 years of service, he thought he was ending her career. Instead, he opened a door, and thanks to his recklessness, LaCore is headed to Congress to hold him accountable.

A lot of us had tears in our eyes when we watched the finale to the brilliant historical sitcom, Blackadder. For me it has the same effect today, and so it should. Lest we forget.

I worry that tariffs will kill off certain craft traditions: handwoven Harris Tweed in Outer Hebrides, Guernseys in UK, cutlery in Japan, saddle-sewn goods in Paris. These are long craft traditions tied to an area and rely on the US market. Many are already hanging by a thread.

It is always amazing to see how so-called intelligent people fall for a Chinese honey-trap. According to the FT and NYT, US intel community discovered that Jensen Huang, the CEO of one of the most strategically important companies in the world, was sleeping with Alice Huang, a Chinese spy and an executive at Megaspeed. According to the NYT, several investigations concluded that Megaspeed is likely a Chinese cutout used to help Chinese cos access AI chips that were under US export controls. If this wasnโ€™t already a red flag for Nvidiaโ€™s Jensen Huang, who has been married since 1985, the US intel community concluded that alleged MSS agent Alice Huangโ€™s goal was to persuade him to lobby the US govt to loosen export controls on advanced AI chips. Add to this odd story, after J. Huang's lobbying the Trump administration, the US Dept of Commerce then allowed the export of H200 chips to China. Mission accomplished. In addition, Commerce failed to enforce export controls on the most advanced Blackwell chips to the honey-trapโ€™s company, Megaspeed. Double success๐Ÿ†. What the heck is going on? After the blue tsunami in US Congress will we get to the bottom of this? This Chinese spy saga has more twists and turns than the most agile MSS acrobat๐Ÿ˜‰

In all of 2026, Russia has captured only ~120 sq km of territory in Ukraine. In those 10 months of 2026, they have lost over 380,000 russian soldiers. Ukraine still stands. Super relevant context for anyone thinking russia is about to capture all of Ukraine anytime soon.

Feeling sorry for all the @bchydro workers out in this storm. Iโ€™m in the dark but warm and safe, unlike the folks trying to get power on for 150,000+ people. Stay safe everyone. Thank you @bchydro we appreciate you!

When the War is over and the sword at last we sheathe, I'm going to keep a jelly-fish and listen to it breathe. When the War is over and we've finished up the show, I'm going to plant a lemon-pip and listen to it grow. ~A.A.Milne #RemembranceSunday

Some are using AI to enhance details in the grainy images and videos of the aftermath of the deadly Krakow shooting, including one with an AI-enhanced face of the alleged gunman. Please approach AI-enhanced content with caution. AI doesn't just sharpen a grainy image, it also often alters key details in it and adds new features that didn't exist in the real low-resolution image.
