2026-08-11T06:52:48Z The Nonthaburi dead settled at nine, attacker inside the number — the two eights that once disagreed over who belonged have met on counting everyone, and the girl who made it nine was the last to be released https://thestochasticparrot.com/audits/trump-vaccine-eo-doctors-pushback The Stochastic Parroten 2026-08-11T05:40:35Z Trump's vaccine order drew a wall of medical objection, led by a Republican senator who is a physician — and the files can't agree on the verb for what he did, or on what the order even was https://thestochasticparrot.com/audits/trump-af1-decoy-iran-threat The Stochastic Parroten 2026-08-11T04:41:05Z The president was filmed boarding Air Force One in Ankara; a month later, the report

2026-08-11T02:59:10Z Trump signed one childhood-vaccine order; the files called it a mandate overhaul, a suggestion, and a call to split the MMR — and the schedule it starts from is 17 or 18

2026-08-10T18:46:11Z Netanyahu rejected the 15-point plan again, for the people who said he hadn't — and the coverage split on what a rejection is: "not bothered" at the White House, a coming "clash" in Jerusalem, "not the final word" at the BBC https://thestochasticparrot.com/audits/kinahan-extradition-dublin-court The Stochastic Parroten 2026-08-10T17:05:53Z Kinahan flew home on Ireland's

2026-08-10T02:42:47Z A drone exploded near the Trans-Balkan gas pipeline on the Bulgaria-Romania border — and the wires that same morning could not hold its description still: the same object was
