The UK has a chance to pioneer pornography regulation – it must take it | Susanna Rustin (The Guardian)

The crime bill proposes a stronger model of consent – and with violent imagery and child sexual abuse soaring, who, really, can argue against it?Susanna Rustin is the author of Sexed: A History of British FeminismOnce you stop to think about it, the need for a law to ensure that participants have consented to appear in online pornography is obvious.Egregious past failures have been well documented. They range from the New York Times's investigation of Pornhub, which concluded that one of the world's biggest pornography businesses hosted videos featuring underaged and sex-trafficked subjects (Pornhub subsequently removed more than half of its content) to the horrors uncovered in the trial of Dominique Pelicot. On the online chat site Coco he shared multiple videos of his then wife, Gisèle, being raped while unconscious in a chatroom called “without her knowledge” (Coco was shut down in 2024).Susanna Rustin is a social affairs journalist and the author of Sexed: A History of British FeminismDo you ...

'13 US Bases Uninhabitable': Pentagon Admits Much Of Iran War Overseen By Personnel 'Working Remotely'
The New York Times really buried the lede in a fresh report entitled "Iran's Attacks Force US Troops to Work Remotely." With the report noting that before the Iran war started the Pentagon had some 40,000 troops in the region, we are told that many have been widely dispersed due to the Iranian retaliatory bombing campaign on the Gulf, even as far as Europe, and must 'work remotely'.
Somehow readers expect they are about to read a story mainly about how troops are now confined to hotels and office spaces throughout the region: "So now much of the land-based military is, in essence, fighting the war while working remotely, with the exception of fighter pilots and crews operating and maintaining warplanes and conducting strikes," NY Times writes.
But then several paragraphs in comes a huge confirmation of what many analysts suspected was the case over the course of the...

Russia Launches Largest One-Day Drone Blitz Of Ukraine War
At least seven people were killed in Ukraine on Tuesday after Russia launched a truly massive drone attack that's said to be the largest of the four-year war. Counting both drones and cruise missiles, 979 warheads poured into Ukrainian airspace as diplomatic efforts at ending the war remain stalled and the world's attention focused almost entirely on the US-Israeli war on Iran.

Ukrainian officials said it began with an overnight attack comprising almost 400 long-range drones and 23 cruise missiles. Then, in a surprise twist, Russia unleashed even more in broad daylight. Startled Ukrainians were sent rushing to bomb shelters after alarms rang out around noon, as a swarm of 556 drones hammered cities across the western part of the country, including Lviv, Ternopil, Vinnytsia, Ivano-Frankivsk, Zhytomyr, Zaporizhzhia and Dnipro.

Pentagon Removes Press Offices After Federal Judge Blocks Trump Restrictions
The Defense Department has announced plans to remove media offices from the Pentagon after a Clinton-appointed federal judge sided with The New York Times in a lawsuit challenging limits on reporters' access to the building. The action is seen as a "loophole" strategy to bypass the ruling against restrictions which the Trump Administration has struggled to enforce in the wake of a hailstorm of national security leaks.
The press area of the Pentagon, known as "Correspondents' Corridor", has been used for decades to cover U.S. military operations. Journalists stationed at the Pentagon offices often enjoyed extensive freedom of movement and access to officials. However, heightened hostilities involving leftist activists and the progressive media have brought operational security into question.
Not since the Civil War has the political divide in the US been so deep, to the point that left-win...

Nvidia CEO: "I Think We've Achieved AGI"
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang joined podcaster Lex Fridman for a 2-plus-hour conversation on the future of AI infrastructure, covering everything from chips, racks, and cooling systems to Nvidia's broader strategy for the next computing era.
Jensen spoke about how computers are evolving from retrieval machines into generative AI factories. The discussion also turned to one of the biggest questions in the AI cycle: whether AGI has already arrived.
Near the two-hour mark of the conversation, Fridman asked Jensen about the "AGI timeline" and whether it is still five, ten, fifteen, or twenty years away, especially given the recent widespread use of agentic AI tools like OpenClaw.
Jensen responded, "I think it's now. I think we've achieved AGI."
It is worth noting that Jensen has previously stated that the AGI timeline depends on how it is defined.
At the 2023 New York Times DealBook Summit, Jensen defined AGI as software capable ...

NASA Head Adds Lunar Base, Nuclear-Powered Mars Rocket To Space Road Map
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman is moving ahead with the agency's ambitious push to return astronauts to the moon, unveiling new plans for a lunar base alongside a nuclear-propelled spacecraft intended to pave the way for a future Mars mission.
At an earlier event, The New York Times reported that Isaacman laid out the agency's three-phase plan: first, expand robotic missions and surface systems; second, build semi-habitable infrastructure for regular astronaut visits; and third, construct permanent infrastructure for a sustained human presence on the moon.
"We are calling today's event Ignition because it represents the start of a transformative journey for NASA," Isaacman told an audience of representatives from aerospace companies, international space agency officials, and Congress.
