I missed this last week.

The man the AFR experts thinks is “Australia’s newest datacenter titan” has never built a datacenter.

He lost $24 million in 2024. He has an MOU from Microsoft that says they’ll give him $2.5 billion if he turns up a datacenter in Laughton, UK, by the end of this year. That’s on the site he doesn’t actually own, which is currently running as a scaffolding yard (The Guardian broke that story)

On the strength of his $24 million loss and that MOU, Macquarie Bank has loaned him $105 million.

Last year Kier Starmer trumpeted his company as “British sovereign AI.” He has no AI, no British employees, and was based in Australia at the time. He’s built precisely nothing whatsoever since Starmer’s endorsement.

AFR wrote this article AFTER ALL THAT INFORMATION WAS MADE PUBLIC. “Datacenter titan,” no datacenters, losing money hand over fist, originating from Bitcoin grift.

Gud jernalisms!

BrisbaneTimes and other media parroting the cover name that Israel uses for its undeclared nuclear weapon enrichment facility. It's an open secret so report it properly. Ya know, just like the one that Iran allegedly has that was the whole precept for this war. Double standards like this are disgusting.

You might not be seeing this stuff online, but every time I go for a drive in my rural area in the U.S., there are crowds of protestors. I'm talking about small town farming communities, and they're getting a whole lot of support from the traffic passing by. Nobody likes what's happening here. At this point, I don't even think the most die hard followers like any of this.

UPDATE: this little pup has been claimed! Thank you everyone for your interest and support!

Can you make good use of an original Commodore PET computer? This one is yours for free if you can pick it up in Los Angeles (near USC). My parents bought it in 1978. It has the famous chiclet keyboard and integral cassette tape drive. It doesn't work at this point, which someone told me is probably due to some bad RAM chips but I don't actually know. The screen shows random squares when it's on.

Boosts for reach appreciated.

ETA: email me at [email protected] or DM me here.

Sir Isaac Isaacs warned in the 1940s that Zionism risked deep and lasting conflict. Decades on, those arguments about justice and prudence remain sharply relevant.

8 Million Requests Later, We Made The SolarWinds Supply Chain Attack Look Amateur

Surprise surprise, we've done it again. We've demonstrated an ability to compromise significantly sensitive networks, including governments, militaries, space agencies, cyber security companies, supply chains, software development systems and environments, and more. “Ugh, won’t they just stick to creating poor-quality memes?” we hear you moan. Maybe we should, maybe
