Futurology Today

My opinion:

Telegraph just dosent get it. No one pays tax on savings.

Yeah they get it they just intentionally mislead in the title. Tax is paid on the income savings earn. Not your savings.

But the Telegraph has no interest in arguing why those who can afford to save should get that extra income tax free. When they know full well it helps the economy more when it is spent or invested in other ways.

Putting money into savings only helps the bank. It is safer for the saver. But only to a very limited point the best investment for them.

This is why ISA have always had limited maximums and often encourage investment with some risk. Rather then supporting a tax free passive income alone.

Any form of passive income can only be beneficial to a society as a whole. If the recipient is encouraging growth in the form of income for the rest of society iE jobs/inferstructure/or risk based investments. (At least assuming we stick to fiat based currency. )

A US think tank that recently opened a Brussels office to lobby for aggressively lower taxes is received with open arms by the Commission. But who is behind the organisation, and who funds it? The Transparency Register fails to reveal dark money flows – in the Tax Foundation’s case from US right-wing libertarian sources – and as such clearly needs a make-over.

Remember seeing this as a gif once, as it zooms in on their face it abruptly cuts to a different clip where a car smashes into a crowd of people, does anyone have it/a link to it?

Who will the Supreme Court side with?

Fry wakes up in the future thinking he’s lost everything—his family, his name, his place in the world. But in Luck of the Fryrish, it goes deeper. You watch as he remembers the one thing he had: his four-leaf clover. A symbol of who he was—lucky, determined, Fry.

So when he finds out someone in the future took his name and the clover?

He thinks his brother Yancy betrayed him. Stole his identity. Buried his memory.

He’s furious. You’re furious.

Until the end.

“Here lies Philip J. Fry. Named for his uncle. To carry on his spirit.”

You realize Yancy didn’t steal anything.

He preserved him. He named his son after the brother he lost—so Fry would live on. So someone would remember.

And just like that… the anger drains. And what’s left is grief. And love. And something so raw, it sticks with you for years.

This episode isn’t just about family. It’s about the stories we tell after someone’s gone.

Did this one hit harder than Jurassic Bark for you? Or just differently?

Federal agents have been sweeping up Venezuelan migrants and sending them to a Salvadoran prison based in large part on tattoos depicting stopwatches, Michael Jordan logos and other ink art they claim betrays an allegiance to the Tren de Aragua street gang.

But internal U.S. Department of Homeland Security and FBI documents obtained by USA TODAY reveal federal authorities for years have questioned the effectiveness of using tattoos to identify members of Tren de Aragua, also known as TdA.

“Gang Unit collections determined that the Chicago Bulls attire, clocks, and rose tattoos are typically related to the Venezuelan culture and not a definite (indicator) of being a member or associate of the (TdA),” reads a 2023 "Situational Awareness" bulletin on the criminal gang written by the U.S. Custom and Border Protection’s El Paso Sector Intelligence Unit.

In another DHS document, titled “ICE Intel Leads,” a former Venezuelan police official interviewed by authorities said tattoos are “the easiest but least effective way” of identifying members of the criminal gang.

The internal documents, provided exclusively to USA TODAY by the open-government advocacy group Property of the People, come as pressure mounts on the Trump administration for refusing to provide information about the arrest and expulsion of hundreds of Venezuelans they claim are TdA members. The group requested the documents under open-records laws.

Attorneys for the detained migrants have said their clients have been swept up without due process and have been labeled gang members with flimsy evidence.

Summary

Donald Trump refused to rule out seeking a third term as president, telling NBC News there are “methods” to do so and emphasizing, “I’m not joking.”

Though the 22nd Amendment bars presidents from serving more than two terms, Trump suggested possible workarounds, including a VP succession plan.

He cited strong poll support and added, “a lot of people want me to do it.”

Allies like Rep. Andy Ogles and Steve Bannon back the idea. Amending term limits would require a complex constitutional process.

I'm not sure if this is the correct community, but I found it interesting/terrifying and was circulating in a local discord. It's made in Tableau.

President Donald Trump did not rule out military force to acquire Greenland in an interview as the Danish territory continued to rebuff his advances.
