Les entreprises dites d'intelligence artificielle continuent de faire les gros titres. Le battage médiatique qu'elles suscitent n'est pas justifié par ce qu'elles apportent à nos sociétés.
Elles sont un danger pour l'économie.
L'argent qui y a été investi et qui y est encore investi est gaspillé. Il ne peut être justifié par les rendements potentiels.

Benjamin Netanyahu likes to translate Israel's grief into American. At the United Nations last month, he took the dead of October 7 and multiplied them by the ratio of America's population to Israel's. The 1,200 Israelis killed that day, he said, were "equal to 40,000 innocent Americans slaughtered in less than 24 hours. That's 16 times 9/11."
Per-capita comparisons are a perfectly legitimate tool.

I recently had a conversation with a friend about what has become an extremely polarizing question within the medical freedom movement - namely, should HHS Secretary Kennedy hang in there to try to do as much good as he can in the matter of various public health issues, or should he resign in protest of the unsafe and ineffective mRNA COVID-19 vaccines remaining on the market-that is, still poisoning people, and still enriching Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna executives?

Equality before the law is a highly-contested principle, largely because there is no consensus on what it means for everyone to be treated equally. Does equality before the law mean that nobody believes himself to be superior or inferior to others ? Does the Fourteenth Amendment guarantee that we must all enjoy the same social status ? Can the Constitution ensure that no one feels slighted, ignored, or overlooked ? Do citizens have a constitutional right to feel welcome and included in everything?

In the old sitcom One Day at a Time single mother Ann Romano (Bonnie Franklin) is disturbed to find her teenage daughter in the very randy embrace of a paramour. Wondering what to do, she informs attorney and boyfriend David Kane (Richard Masur) of her concerns. The conversation takes place in the presence of building Superintendent Dwayne Schneider (Pat Harrington Jr.).
Dorothy Day's own post-conversion writings and actions might be enough to disqualify her from consideration for canonization by the Church - save for an ulterior agenda behind the effort.

A couple of weeks ago, leftist theologian Rich Raho posted on celebrating the advancement of Dorothy Day's cause for canonization, linking to an article by Michael Fox at Catholics for the Common Good.

The United Kingdom already has one of the most controlled digital environments in the world.
We have a social media ban for children in place, requiring everyone to scan their ID or otherwise verify their age to use social media. They require age verification for "adult content". There are proposals and legislation pending to implement "device level nudity detection", introduce a "social media curfew" for teenagers, and we already lead the world in social media-related arrests.

The Iran war could claim a casualty far more consequential than a missile battery, an air base, or an oil tanker: the petrodollar system.
For more than 50 years, US protection of the Gulf monarchies has helped support global demand for dollars and US government debt. That bargain may now be coming under strain.
The concept is straightforward.

When it comes to contextualizing the tech, bond, gold and policy headlines of Q4 2026, it's easier to foresee their pathway ahead by first looking backwards. Once understood, we mathematically realize that our problems are not in the future, they are right now.
The 1970s
Ah, the 1970s. It was an era of bellbottom jeans, checkered suits, wide ties, the music of ABBA and Saturday morning cartoons.

Late October in northern Virginia carries a specific quality of light, thin and metallic, as if the sun itself has begun to withdraw from the coming winter. On the morning of October 30, 1989, this light fell across the loading dock of a commercial building on the outskirts of Reston, Virginia, where a freight truck from John F. Kennedy International Airport had arrived after driving through the night.

Es gibt zwei Nachrichten, über die in diesen Tagen sowohl deutsche als auch russische Medien berichten: der Besuch von Bundeskanzler Merz in Kiew und die Erklärung der Leiter der drei deutschen Geheimdienste, dass Russland einen sogenannten "Schattenkrieg" gegen Deutschland führt.
Hängen diese beiden Nachrichten irgendwie zusammen ? Formal gesehen - nein.

Abbiamo assistito a uno spettacolo da prima serata - in realtà un doppio inganno: il 11 settembre rivisitato su FlyDubai.
Il 30 settembre, termine ultimo per una possibile mossa militare iraniana contro il blocco navale di Trump, è passato senza che l'Iran intervenisse. L'Iran ha mantenuto la sua posizione, senza però sferrare l'attacco decisivo contro la Marina statunitense (che è così lontana) impegnata nel blocco.

Ina 2007 interview, Lew Rockwell was asked if he considered himself to be a libertarian. The context of the questions was the same then as it would be today for the same question. The question is really this: do you still call yourself a libertarian in spite of all the beltway, pro-government, pro-state intellectuals and activists who also call themselves libertarians ? Rockwell answers "yes" because, of the reasons that he states below.
