COLONIZATION, STRAIGHT UP: Despite mayor’s cancellation, ‘Globalize the intifada’ event proceeds in Sydney.
The event, which was officially canceled on Monday after fears that it would spark violence, attracted just about 150 people and was held without major incident, according to local news reports.
‘It’s a must that we globalize the intifada,” local political figure Ahmed Ouf told the crowd. “We have to break the internal chains and invite others.”
The forum was intended to defend the phrase against efforts to ban it, and had drawn strong criticism from politicians and Jewish leaders. Australian lawmakers have sought to proscribe the slogan in public debate since the deadly terror shooting targeting a Hanukkah celebration at the city’s Bondi Beach in December, which killed 15.
In a statement on social media yesterday, Mayor Clover Moore said the event risked “contributing to hostility and fear.”
The size of the event isn’t the important detail; it’s Ouf establishing dominance over the mayor.

ROBERT SPENCER: The New York Times Interviews Tucker Carlson, and It Gets Worse From There. “The fact that the New York Times would interview Tucker Carlson in the first place is an indication of how much the former Fox host has gone off the rails. The Times only interviews people who support its far-left worldview, including its endless vilification of Israel for alleged war crimes in Gaza, and Carlson was ready with the good. In his interview, which was published Saturday, Carlson adopts the pose of a moral philosopher to attack the Jewish state, and Judaism as well, from a new angle.”

DID MARKETWATCH MEAN TO MAKE HIM SEEM SO BAD-ASS? The ‘SpaceX mafia’ is here. Elon Musk’s big IPO could launch a constellation of new companies.
During the past two decades, SpaceX has hired thousands of staff and granted them boatloads of restricted stock units, incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options that have vested over time. With the IPO milestone reached, employees can soon sell their equity in the company and pocket the proceeds in cash.
Some former SpaceX employees have already gone on to create their own companies, such as reusable-rockets company Relativity Space and Base Power, which owns and operates home batteries.
SpaceX alumni have created at least 150 companies that have collectively raised $12.6 billion from investors and created more than 8,000 jobs, according to AlumniFounders, a website that tracks projects created by people who have worked at the company for at least a year. The website also helps connect SpaceX employees-turned-founders to discover investors with their own ties to SpaceX, including staff at more than a dozen venture-capital firms.
“There are a lot of companies out there that were founded by people who left SpaceX but took the engineering practices and know-how to get things done,” Garrett Reisman, a former astronaut and former director of space operations at SpaceX, told MarketWatch. “It’s kind of cool because you see this whole ecosystem of startups and space experts that are doing some amazing work and are leading to kind of a whole renaissance of very dynamic business activity.”
Musk might already be the most productive human being in history. What his alumni might do with all that capital… wow.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Here’s an Idea — Let’s Just Redistrict Democrats Out of the U.S. “I do want to provide you with a list of some of the dumb things Democrats have done or said in just the last 48 hours or so. Keep in mind that it’s not a comprehensive list — it’d take me at least five days just to compile two days of Democrat idiocy, and ain’t nobody got time for that.”
SAD: I De-transitioned. My Body Will Never Be the Same.
The men in my family recognized I was gay, and treated me cruelly. My brother forcibly shaved my head when I decided to let my hair grow long. My grandfather told the parents of a kindergarten friend that I was a faggot, and it was contagious. In a town that small, his words spread quickly, and I lost friends who didn’t want to touch me in case they caught whatever I had. My uncle changed the channel whenever a gay character came on the TV.
By the time I was 12 and hitting puberty, I hyper-fixated on every small change in my face and body. Every new hair. Every shift in my jawline. I was becoming a man, and that felt catastrophic. I was desperate for a way out. And the internet delivered an answer.
I discovered trans influencers.
What happened next was far worse than the family or school bullying.

THE NEW SPACE RACE: ‘Whatever Russia is testing, it’s sophisticated’: Satellites pass within 3 metres of each other.
Astronomers have observed two Russian military satellites passing within 3 metres (10 feet) of each other in an unexplained manoeuvre.
The COSMOS 2581 and COSMOS 2583 satellites, launched by Russia’s space agency Roscosmos in February 2025, performed the operation last week while orbiting at an altitude of around 585 kilometres.
The incident. which was tracked by US-based space situational awareness firm COMSPOC. has raised concerns about space-based surveillance and orbital collisions .
“This week we observed a complex proximity event involving Russian satellites,” COMSPOC wrote in a post to X, alongside a simulation of the event.
“This wasn’t a coincidental pass – COSMOS 2583 performed several fine manoeuvres to maintain this tight configuration… Whatever Russia is testing, it’s sophisticated.”
Russia has not disclosed the specific purpose of the satellites, though space analysts noted that one of them released a “sub-satellite” referred to as Object F.
They are believed to be part of a program involving “inspector satellites”, designed to test or perform surveillance operations of other spacecraft in orbit.
I’d guess they can do more than just observe.

Europe’s new tax proposals double down on wealth taxes, including unrealized gains, annual wealth levies, inheritance taxes, and even exit taxes on those who leave.
But the pattern is hard to miss: when tax burdens rise, capital and talent don’t stay put.

Spencer Pratt is worth supporting even if he loses because his rhetoric and ideological framing are sufficiently humiliating to the other leading candidates.
