How the Censorship Industrial Complex works in the US (partly driven by a British woman, Terp, a very unusual name) and likely the UK too

"The rigid coding scheme, the playbooks, cross-sheet joins, and coded triggers SCREAM machine learning. It’s not just bureaucrats in a room, it’s a fully autonomous Ai system"

The US has reportedly launched a raid on a sanctioned oil tanker off the UK coast, despite Russia having deployed naval assets in the Atlantic to protect an oil tanker. Although the ship is currently sailing without cargo, it has a record of transporting Venezuelan crude and was believed to be somewhere between Scotland and Iceland as of Tuesday.

The vessel has been under scrutiny since last month, when the US Coast Guard attempted to board it in the Caribbean after obtaining a warrant over alleged violations of US sanctions and claims that the ship had transported Iranian oil. The operation failed when the vessel, previously known as Bella 1, suddenly changed course, changed its name to Marinera, and reportedly reflagged itself from Guyana to Russia. Its move toward Europe has been met by the deployment of roughly 10 US transport aircraft and helicopters.

SWEDEN: A 17yo immigrant shot this 16yo to death in Sweden. Why? No reason. The victim was just walking in front of the shooter with his friends after a training session. He had no relationship to the murderer and no criminal record.

Just a few days before the murder, the police had stopped the murderer during a routine check. He had a deportation order and was wanted by the authorities, so you’d think the police would arrest him—but they released him.

His sentence is 10 years in a Swedish prison, and he’ll be out after serving only 7 years. This is what "justice" looks like in Sweden. https://x.com/EvelinaHahne/status/2008883064920002856

In the heart of Ceredigion, Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧, lies a remarkable architectural curiosity known as Devil’s Bridge—actually three bridges stacked one above the other, each built in a different era. The lowest and oldest of the trio dates back to Norman times, possibly as early as the 11th century. Built from local stone, this original bridge spanned the River Mynach, arching high above a deep and dramatic gorge, and served as a vital crossing point in medieval Wales.

Centuries later, in the 18th Century, a second bridge was constructed directly atop the first. Instead of dismantling the original, builders chose to preserve it, creating a layered effect that would only become more unique with time. This second bridge, sturdier and wider, reflected the growing need for improved transport routes as travel and trade increased through rural Wales.

In early 20th Century, a third and final bridge was built above the previous two, incorporating modern engineering to support motor vehicles.
