CBS News Radio (1927-2026)

Another casualty of technology + social justice: CBS News Radio ceases broadcasting tonight. CBS News Radio, which provides news programming to an estimated 700 stations spanning the United States, will sign off the air Friday night after nearly a century of broadcasting. The storied service, launched in September 1927, was home to broadcast legends Edward […]

Whitney Webb has done the most extensive research into Palantir.


According to investigative journalist Whitney Webb, Palantir is "the new Jeffrey Epstein".

"If they want to blackmail you... they just access what Palantir sucked up about you—your search history, your communications, your finances, tweets you've liked in the past, all sorts of things."

"You don't really need Epstein in the surveillance era."

"The disturbing thing about Palantir is that it's really about pre-crime. They were the pioneers of predictive policing."

"Palantir is the resurrection of [a] DARPA program called Total Information Awareness—that was so scandalous when it was announced it was defunded by Congress."

"But then they realised that if they turned it into a private company, no one would complain."

"And that's how we got Palantir."

John C. Wright sets World War Eleven into context.

There are two possible explanations. Trump grabbed the photo from somewhere, or was even given it by a Jewish supporter, and sent it out innocuously, or, more ominously, this is a sign Trump’s tweets are coming from some Jewish individual who is plugged in enough to know Charlie was turning on Israel. It feels vaguely haunting to me, because we have seen similar things before. Famously, before it was scrubbed, and blown off as a glitch, the DHS Twitter account said it was set up in Tel Aviv. Then Dan Bongino was shitposting with somebody on Twitter, and included a screenshot from his phone as part of his argument, and when people looked at the Metadata, the phones time zone was set to Israel, indicating Bongino was not the person tweeting, but rather his Twitter was being run by Israelis. Now we have this, a credible explanation of which might be the tweet was an Israeli who handles Trump’s twitter sending a coded message to other Israelis. That might be what you would see if they kidnapped Trump, installed short Trump in the acting role, and had a professional handling his Twitter. We will have to file it away and look for other indications later.

🌍 The “Big One” may not come alone: Cascadia and San Andreas can strike together

For decades, the nightmare scenario on the U.S. West Coast was “the Big One” — a massive Cascadia megathrust earthquake.

But research from Oregon State University suggests something even more dangerous: the Cascadia subduction zone and the northern San Andreas Fault may be partially synchronized — meaning one major quake could trigger another within minutes or hours.

🔹 Marine geologist Chris Goldfinger and his team analyzed 3,100 years of deep-sea sediment cores, looking at turbidites — underwater landslide deposits often triggered by earthquakes.

🔹 In several cores, they found unusual “doublets”: reversed sediment layers, with fine silt below and coarse sand above. The pattern suggests two large quakes happened back-to-back — not simply one quake followed by aftershocks.

🔹 Over the past 1,500 years, researchers identified three cases where Cascadia and northern San Andreas ruptures may have occurred just minutes to hours apart. The most recent was in 1700.

🔹 The discovery began almost by accident. During a 1999 research cruise, the team drifted about 55 miles off course near Cape Mendocino — exactly where the two fault systems meet — and collected a core that showed the strange upside-down layering.

🔹 A dual event would be a disaster-response nightmare: San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver could all face emergencies within the same compressed timeframe.

As Goldfinger put it, one major fault rupture alone could draw down the resources of the whole country. If both systems go together, it is not just the worst case — it is worse than the worst case.

The uncomfortable takeaway: the real question may not be whether the Big One will happen, but whether it comes as a single blow — or as a one-two punch.

Round Three Warning

Iran is clearly unconcerned about the prospects of the US attempting to return to the battlefield and waging more ineffective war on behalf of Israel: BREAKING: A source close to Iran’s Ghalibaf says Iran’s “third struggle” plan announced by the IRGC will close Bab el-Mandeb Strait “by fire” and disable the seven submarine internet cables […]

#MadeInRussia

⚡️Russia proved it’s 100% sanctions-proof

🇷🇺 The fully indigenous PD-8 engine for the Superjet has officially passed all certification tests.

Over 6,500 hours of gruelling real-world and lab testing completed. This is proper, battle-hardened engineering.

The powerplants endured everything thrown at them:

✅ Extreme icing tests (ground rig at CIAM + in-flight over Arkhangelsk).

✅ 150-hour endurance runs simulating years of heavy operation.

✅ Bird strike, water ingestion, and fan blade failure trials.

✅ Full hail cloud simulation.

✅ And dozens more brutal certification tests.

Russia is building its own future in civil aviation, completely independent of Western supply chains.

"“The first century B.C. was a time of great troubles throughout the Mediterranean littoral. The priesthoods of the various forms of Great-Mother worship, the Syrian-Canaanite Magi, the Ptolemaic cult of Isis, and of the cult of Apollo, were engaged in the effort to combine the conquests of Rome, Egypt, and Syria into a single world-empire. The bloody issue was, what would be chosen as the capital of this new empire? The leading contenders were Alexandria and the city of Rome. The decision was settled on the battlefield against Mark Antony and Cleopatra; Rome’s victory had been negotiated earlier, at a meeting on the Isle of Capri.”"

Europe’s first universities emerged during the High Middle Ages, especially in the 11th and 12th centuries. Many grew from cathedral or monastic schools, though some, like Bologna, developed from networks of legal scholars and students. Northern Italy became a major academic center due to its wealth, trade networks, and urban influence. Latin served as a shared scholarly language, allowing students and teachers to move between universities across medieval Europe and participate in a common intellectual world.
