How To Create A Custom News Feed Free From Algorithm Manipulation

“Today the Twitter algorithm served me up a bunch of Zionist tweets from accounts I’ve never followed, right at the top of my ‘For You’ feed. Elon and company decided on my behalf that this is the kind of information I need to be consuming, so they’ve taken it upon themselves to shove it down my throat without my permission. As Silicon Valley algorithm manipulation gets more and more aggressive in force-feeding us the official narrative of the day, we have to get a bit clever in making sure we see the information our rulers don’t want us to see. I like to use Twitter Lists for this, because for all its flaws Twitter is still where the journalists hang out and remains a great place for staying on top of the news if you can figure out how to cut through all the bullshit.” (06/09/26)

Are We Back to 1914?

by Ralph L DeFalco III

“In our present moment of global upheaval, it’s becoming fashionable to invoke parallels to previous episodes of global crisis. Commentators routinely compare the United States’ political situation to the late Roman Republic just before its slide into Caesarism. Others suggest 1920s Weimar Germany is a more apt comparison with its violent factionalism and loose morals. At the international level, one can find as many comparisons to the Cold War as one can to nineteenth-century Europe. Some, however, are now suggesting that the international situation bears a more striking resemblance to the years preceding the First World War.” (06/09/26)

German, French regimes scrap joint fighter jet program

Source: Deutsche Welle [German state media]

“After years of infighting, the Franco-German project to build a joint next-generation fighter jet has collapsed. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron agreed last week that manufacturers Dassault and Airbus failed to resolve key disputes, officials in Berlin and Paris confirmed on Monday. The Future Combat Air System (FCAS) program, launched in 2017, aimed to build a next-generation fighter to replace Eurofighters and Rafales by around 2040. The move to scrap one of Europe’s largest defense projects comes as Western military officials warn of a mounting threat from Russia and the United States intensifies pressure on Europe to take care of its own defense.” (06/09/26)

“Kentucky built its Open Records Act on a simple, powerful premise: that free and open examination of public records is in the public interest. For nearly 50 years, that premise provided a basic guarantee that Kentuckians could see what their government was doing in their name. That premise is now under a growing threat — from the legislature, and increasingly from the courts.” (06/09/26)
