TIL about mammoth hunters, people in Russia's far north who hunt for and sell "ice ivory": the tusks of mammoths. Some will illegally utilise firefighting equipment to melt ice and dig huge tunnels into the ground in search of remains.

Looks like UK banks will be brought to heel.
This was an unforced error. They didn't need to go after Farage. He's not a threat. He has connections. Any story about him is front page news. This was pure ideology with no strategic benefit and they couldn't help themselves. These people are not Machiavellian geniuses, they're nerds who got shoved in lockers in high school and thirsting for revenge on "fascists".
Probably the law will cover only "politically exposed persons" but that's still a step in the right direction. If it covers everyone, it would be a huge L for the Deep State in the UK.

JUST IN: I have received advanced excerpts of President Trump’s speech that he will be delivering in #Alabama tonight at the @ALGOP Summer Dinner!
I would like to share these excerpts with all of you before President @realDonaldTrump takes the stage at 8:15 pm EST!
President Donald J. Trump
Alabama GOP Summer Dinner
August 4, 2023
Montgomery, AL
EXCERPTS
It’s great to be back in ALABAMA with so many proud American Patriots who stand for God, Family, and Country!
///
On Election Day 2024, we are going to evict Crooked Joe Biden from the White House. We are going to expel the criminals and thugs from the halls of power in Washington. And we are going to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
///
From the beginning, our movement has been the only force in American politics that has ever dared to stand up to the entire corrupt political establishment.
///
We said NO to open borders, NO to globalist trade deals, NO to endless wars, and NO to the Godless values of the Communist left. We always put AMERICA FIRST.
///
In response, our enemies unleashed an army of rabid left-wing lawyers, corrupt Marxist prosecutors, deranged government agents, and rogue intelligence officers to try to stop our movement.
///
As an example, every one of these many Fake Charges filed against me by the Corrupt Biden DOJ could have been filed 2.5 years ago, but they waited and waited until I became dominant in the Polls, and then they filed them all, including local DAs and AGs, and other cases, right in the middle of my Campaign where I am leading the Republicans by a lot, and also leading Biden by a lot.
///
It’s called Election Interference, a commonly used tactic in third world countries.
///
Biden and his protectors know he cannot win this race any other way, so they are trying Election Interference.
///
The reason this is happening is simple: Joe Biden is the most incompetent and corrupt president in U.S. history.
///
The Biden Crime Family was taking in money from China, Ukraine, Russia, and so many more—and now, every time more Biden Corruption is exposed, his henchmen indict me the very next day. It’s called a cover-up.
///
They want to take away MY freedom because I will never let them take away YOUR freedom. They want to silence me, because I will never let them silence you. In the end, they’re not after me, they’re after you—and I’m just standing in their way.
///
From the first day in office, I will appoint a special prosecutor to study each and every of the many claims being brought forth by Congress concerning all of the crooked acts, including bribes from China and many other foreign countries that go into the coffers of the Biden Crime Family.
///
The Deep State is destroying our nation, but the tables must turn, and we will destroy the Deep State.
///
Think of what we already achieved in 4 incredible years.
///
We delivered the largest tax cuts and regulatory cuts in history, and likewise we built the greatest economy in the history of the world.
///
We achieved energy independence and energy dominance for the first time in 60 years.
///
We created the most secure border in U.S. history, built nearly 500 miles of border wall, got Mexico to give us 28,000 soldiers free of charge, negotiated “Remain in Mexico,” and deported illegal alien criminals by the thousands.
///
We appointed over 300 federal judges and 3 great Supreme Court Justices.
///
And last year, those justices ruled to end Roe v. Wade. Now pro-lifers have a tremendous power to negotiate, which they didn’t have before the ruling.
///
I fully rebuilt the U.S. military, created Space Force and put the U.S. Space Command in Alabama, which Biden just moved to another state, defeated ISIS, and brought our troops back home.
///
I was the first president in decades who didn’t start a war.
///
Here is just some of the agenda I will immediately implement when we become the 47th President of the United States…
I will totally obliterate the Deep State.

Thirsty simps will simp for literally anything.
Thanks to the advent of AI-powered image generators like Stable Diffusion and Midjourney, some are now fabricating entire feeds of internet personalities that don't actually exist.
The result is a fascinating journey through the uncanny valley: haunting Twitter and Instagram feeds showing these AI-generated influencers — virtually all taking the form of conventionally attracted women — posing and preening in virtual thirst traps, to the delight of sometimes tens of thousands of seemingly human fans. Maybe we can't blame them; aside from considerable amounts of skin-smoothing and repetitive backgrounds, both hallmarks of AI image generators, it's a surprisingly convincing illusion.

STEP 1: Assign you a handler (usually an agent, wife, trainer, producer, or bodyguard).
STEP 2: Get you to promote a social engineering agenda in exchange for more push.
STEP 3: Find your vice and weaknesses, and try to get you to get compromised so you can be blackmailed.
STEP 4: Convince you to dress as a woman on screen and/or kiss another man.
STEP 5: They convince you to sign a blood deal with the devil, and one of the requirements is for one of the big record label honchos to sodomize you. Of course, I'm not talking about David Geffen or Tommy Motola...
