Sa’ar insisted on the major budget increase when he and his United Right Party joined the governing coalition last month and he became foreign minister.

As geopolitical tensions escalate, the U.S. wields its most formidable weapon—not military might, but a sophisticated network of political and informational control that reshapes nations and regions to serve its interests
For months now, I have had this message at the top of my main YouTube playlist. I noticed that it started right after some videos that were in it were made private by the uploader. It’s annoying because I haven’t been able to rearrange my playlist on my iPad Mini, since. I can only do so, on my iPhone, despite updating my iOS and my YouTube app. I’ve even reformatted my iPad Mini, and it hasn’t changed. Every time that I try rearranging the playlist, the video goes back to the bottom of the playlist. I need to start a new playlist, but I have over 300 to move, as you can see. I barely have time to blog, let alone move 300 videos over to a new playlist.
Dr. Steven Hassan, the cult expert, interviewed Dr. Dustin Rozario Steinhagen on “How Tech Companies Use Your Data to Hack Your Mind.” It was interesting for a while. His guest started talking about Cambridge Analytica, romances scams, and privacy rights. They lost me at China and surveillance capitalism, though.

How can people support Luigi Mangione but vote in droves to deny health care to others?
Last week was a bizarre time to be queer on social media: Many cishet people voiced enthusiastic support for Luigi Mangione, the man accused of shooting and killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, arguing that the health insurer’s denial of claims led to so many deaths that the murder was justified as retaliation. Meanwhile, Congress was passing a bill that would require an insurer (Tricare) to deny claims, and it was hard to get anyone to even pay attention to that.
