In 2020, very few people had heard the name Vivek Ramaswamy. Thus, before he ran for president, before he was one of the breakout stars of the Republican primary, neither of them could even state for you three provinces in Eastern Ukraine that they want to send our troops to actually fight for. Look at that. I mean, she has no idea what the hell the names of those provinces are. He is polling higher than many of his competitors who have far more political experience rising to second place behind former President Trump. In a new poll out of…

Wiz, a cybersecurity startup valued at $12 billion, recently experienced a deepfake attack that was thwarted because employees knew how the CEO usually speaks.Wiz CEO Assaf Rappaport explained at TechCrunch Disrupt on Monday that hackers manipulated audio of his voice and sent a voice message to dozens of his team members to steal login credentials.

In certain circles, the potent psychedelic N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is known as the “spirit molecule” for its peculiar ability to transport people into other worlds. Those who take it commonly experience vibrant colours, abstract geometric patterns – and even meet elves and aliens – all in a way that feels completely real. That might all sound about as far from the realm of empirical science as you can get – but not for neuroscientist Zeus Tipado. In his lab in Maastricht, the Netherlands, he is planning an outlandish experiment in which he will monitor the brains of people dosed with DMT while…

“TRUMP PRAISED HITLER” was projected onto the side of Madison Square Garden during the latest Democratic National Convention. The rhetoric comparing Donald Trump to Nazi madman Adolf Hitler has been overwhelming over the past week. Holocaust survivors are now speaking out against the Democrats for their dangerous and insensitive pomposity. “I know more about Hitler than Kamala will ever know in a thousand lifetimes,” 94-year-old Jerry Wartski, whose family survived Auschwitz, “For her to accuse President Trump of being like Hitler is the worst thing I’ve ever heard in my 75 years living in the United States.” MSNBC recently created…
Kamala Harris was speaking to a crowd in Michigan and somehow managed to suck all the energy out of the room, casing the crowd to go completely silent. It was a very awkward moment.

Boeing launched a stock offering that could raise up to US$24.3 billion as the planemaker looks to strengthen its finances squeezed by a more than six-week strike by factory workers and preserve its investment-grade credit rating. The move will boost Boeing’s battered finances, which have worsened since roughly 33,000 of its workers represented by the machinists union walked off their jobs in September, halting production of models including its cash-cow 737 MAX aircraft. The company said late on Monday it was offering 112.5 million shares in common stock, up from 90 million announced earlier in the day, and US$5 billion…
The United Nations and countries across the globe have denounced Israel after its parliament passed two laws that brands the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) a “terror” group and bans the humanitarian organisation from operating on Israeli soil. The legislation, approved on Monday, would – if implemented – prevent UNRWA from providing life-saving support to Palestinians across Israeli-occupied Gaza and the West Bank. UNRWA was created by the UN General Assembly in 1949 to support Palestinian refugees expelled from their homes during the creation of Israel and it remains the main organisation providing humanitarian services in Gaza, and supports…
