Influencers 'new' threat to uncontacted tribes, warns group after US tourist arrest

Mykhailo Viktorovych Polyakov, 24, allegedly landed on North Sentinel Island in an apparent attempt to make contact with the isolated Sentinelese tribe, filming his visit and leaving a can of coke and a coconut on the shore.
.....Mr Polyakov blew a whistle off the shore of the island in a bid to attract the attention of the tribe for about an hour.
He then landed for about five minutes, leaving his offerings, collecting samples and recording a video.
It is illegal for foreigners or Indians to travel within 5km (three miles) of the islands in order to protect the people living there.
......such visits pose a threat to a community which has no immunity to outside diseases.

Or hey, maybe you can contract something from there and bring it back to the rest of the planet! Wait... nevermind that...

Well with Trump playing chicken head on Putin, it seems like a reasonable route they need to take:

Canada, Europe planning defence 'without US at the centre' for first time since WWII

Good...

Trump Opens Ukraine Peace Talks—Without Ukraine
"The position of Kyiv’s Western allies had long been that nothing about Ukraine be decided without Ukraine. Evidently, Trump envisions a very different framework for peace talks."

I'm sorry Ukraine, you were always going to be used as a pawn and cannon fodder in this game of geopolitics, and that's exactly what's happening...

US Efforts to Contain Xi’s Push for Tech Supremacy Are Faltering

"China has achieved a global leadership position in five key technologies. That means the world outside the US is increasingly driving Chinese electric vehicles, scrolling the web on Chinese smartphones and powering their homes with Chinese solar panels. For Washington, the risk is that policies aimed at containing China end up isolating the US — and hurting its businesses and consumers."

It was expected. Read Comrade Lenin to understand what is happening today. For example, "Imperialism as the highest stage of capitalism."...

Stereotypes are a truly powerful thing indeed. However, the problem with stereotypes is that they are a little bit true (as in some of x are truly y) which is what makes them so powerful. This makes it difficult to counter them - you cannot create opposite stereotypes of “girls are great at maths because they can focus better” or “boys are great at child care because they are more fun” without those too being based in truth AND realising the damage it does to the outsiders (boys hearing that girls are great at maths will conclude that boys are not good at maths, girls hearing that boys are great at child care will conclude girls are not). In every stereotype there is both a loser and a winner.

But why use stereotypes at all, you may ask?...

There's something deeply perverse about a guy who has never (not even for a second!) worked a hard, low-paying job taking pictures of himself in a fast-food chain restaurant where people bust their asses working for minimum wage. (The same person is from the party that stubbornly votes against raising the minimum wage every time!)

All of this in the name of a Halloween costume party, only... for an election campaign.

Trump insists he’s ‘not a threat to democracy’ in Dr Phil interview, suggests God wants him to save the world

Donald Trump insisted that he is “not a threat to democracy” in an interview with TV personality Dr Phil on Tuesday night, during which he also suggested that he survived an assassination attempt last month because God wanted him to save the US - and possibly the world.

Wow! If God wants Trump to save the world, then it must be really bad...

Trump gets shot and conspiracy theories ensue. It was the CIA, some say. No, it was a fake, others counter.

I admit I was immediately skeptical myself at first but very soon after I dropped the skepticism. It became rather obvious this was no "false flag"...
