🇦🇺 1.5 million-year-old stone tools from mystery human relative discovered in Indonesia
A handful of stone tools found on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi has pushed back the date that human relatives arrived in the region. Stone tools discovered on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi are rewriting what experts thought they knew about human evolution in this region. The tools date to about 1 million to 1.5 million years ago, which suggests that Sulawesi was occupied by an unknown human relative long before our species evolved. "These are simple, sharp-edged flakes of stone that would have been useful as general-purpose cutting and scraping implements," study co-author Adam Brumm, professor of archaeology at Griffith University in Australia, told Live Science in an email. In a study published Wednesday (Aug. 6) in the journal Nature, researchers analyzed a set of stone tools that represent the oldest evidence of human relatives in Wallacea, a vast expanse of islands that lie between the Asian and Australian continental shelves.

A new Media Research Center study uncovered how Google manipulated its news tab to subvert Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's exposé on how the former president orchestrated the fabrication of intelligence behind the Trump-Russia collusion hoax. The MRC found that Google actively protected Obama after Gabbard revealed how his White House schemed behind the scenes to override early assessments finding no pro-Trump Russian interference in 2016, instead pushing rushed intel to legitimize the salacious Trump-Russia collusion narrative.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has an initiative called the Theory of Mind program.

At its core, the program aims to: Build algorithmic models that "decompose" adversary strategies into elemental behaviors. Use massive data — signals intelligence, open-source information, even social media — to create high-fidelity "avatars" of enemy decision-makers. Simulate possible responses to a range of U.S. and allied actions, exploring which ones best deter, incentivize, or nudge adversaries toward preferred outcomes. Integrate insights from psychological profiling and machine learning to continually update these models as real-world conditions shift. The promise is profound: a system that doesn't just predict what an adversary might do, but...

📰 Taibbi: No doubt left... Russiagate was a cover-up
The most infuriatingly complex scandal of all time has just been reduced to a page or two, thanks to another declassified release... It was a cover-up. The Russiagate scandal has long been one of the most convoluted, hard-to-follow news stories of all time. It even has multiple names thanks to its peculiar chronology. From 2016 until April 2019 — while Democrats still held out hope of "presidency-wrecking" revelations that would topple Donald Trump — it was generally known as the Trump-Russia scandal. After Special Counsel Robert Mueller broke the hearts of MSNBC audiences by issuing a report without new indictments, attention began to be cast on the scandal's fraudulent construction, how it was propped up by political spying, illegal leaks, and WMD-style intelligence fakery. Trump and others began to call it Spygate or the Russia hoax, but the name that stuck was Russiagate. Those of us who covered the story from the start had a difficult time explaining to audiences what it was,...

This week marks the 50th anniversary of a landmark event in European diplomacy. In 1975, the leaders of 35 countries, including the United States, Canada, and almost all of Europe, gathered in the Finnish capital Helsinki to sign the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE). The agreement capped years of negotiation over peaceful coexistence between two rival systems that had dominated world affairs since the end of the Second World War. At the time, many believed the Final Act would solidify the postwar status quo. It formally recognized existing borders - including those of Poland, the two Germanys, and the Soviet Union - and acknowledged the spheres of influence that had shaped Europe since 1945. More than just a diplomatic document, it was seen as a framework for managing ideological confrontation. Fifty years later, the legacy of Helsinki is deeply paradoxical. On the one hand, the Final Act laid out a set of high-minded principles: mutual...

US President Donald Trump has made illegal immigration a central focus of his presidency, vowing to deport millions of undocumented migrants. His administration has expanded border security, tripled Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention funding, cut humanitarian programs, and detained thousands of illegal migrants. In June, Trump also fully or partially barred entry for citizens of 19 nations on security grounds and imposed a mandatory "integrity fee" on all nonimmigrant visa applicants. Under the new program, which begins August 20, US consular officers may require visa bonds of $5,000 to $15,000 from certain travelers. Running for a year, the...

At the time of the book's publication in 1997, Azerbaijan's potential as a major gas and oil producer was already well-known (the Baku oil boom started in the 1870s, when the country was part of the Tsarist empire). Its importance as an energy corridor and critical node in global trade emerged later, but it was already clear that the West would seek to leverage Azerbaijan's position not only to gain an edge in energy and trade, but also to extend its reach in the region in an attempt to undermine Russian security and interests.

It's no secret that birds are struggling. North America has lost billions of them since the 1970s and today more than one-third of bird species are considered under threat. While efforts to stem the tide tend to target endangered and rare species, new research shows that the bulk of losses are coming from the most common birds, such as Rufous Hummingbirds that flit around home feeders and Barn Swallows that swoop over farm fields. "We think of them as such staple species, like they'll always be there," says Gates Dupont, an ecologist at Princeton University. But when Dupont and biologist Andy Dobson looked at nearly six decades of data on 244 bird species, they found that abundant species saw the steepest drops in their numbers. Their findings, published July 30 in Science Advances, show that just 5 percent of species make up 80 percent of the total declines in avian abundance, according to data from the U.S. Geological Survey's North American Breeding Bird Survey.
