Project Veritas shared an image on social media Thursday claiming an FBI whistleblower leaked a document showing the agency classified "misinformation" as an "election crime" ahead of the 2022 Midterm Elections next month.

According to the document, titled "2022 Midterm Elections Social Media Analysis Cheat Sheet," election crimes include eight sections that fall under federal jurisdiction, ranging from campaign finance to voter suppression. The details inform federal authorities what to look out for leading up to the November 8 election.

However, federal authorities have included misinformation, which means false or misleading information spread mistakenly or unintentionally, as something that could lead to a full or grand jury investigation.

One of the biggest problems for the left, as it confronts what seems like humanity's ever-more precarious relationship with the planet - from the climate emergency to a potential nuclear exchange - is that siren voices keep luring it towards the rocks of political confusion and self-harm.

And one of the loudest sirens on the British left is the environmental activist George Monbiot.

Monbiot has carved out for himself a figurehead role on the mainstream British left because he is the only big-picture thinker allowed a regular platform in the establishment media: in his case, the liberal Guardian newspaper. It is a spot he covets and one that seems to have come with a big price tag: he is allowed to criticize the corporate elite's capture of British domestic politics - he occasionally concedes that our political life has been stripped of all democratic content - but only, it seems, because he has become ever less willing to extend that same critique to British foreign policy.

The wipeout follows Meta's second straight quarterly revenue drop.

The fortune of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has plummeted by $100 billion so far this year, Bloomberg reported on Friday, noting the decline was the biggest among the world's wealthiest individuals tracked by its Billionaires Index.

"Meta's chief executive officer has seen the single-biggest hit among those on the wealth list," the media outlet wrote.

Three climate change activists with the 'Just Stop Oil' group have been arrested for "public violence against goods" after they attacked Vermeer's famous 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' painting at the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague on Thursday. The priceless artwork is reportedly undamaged.

A video of the incident posted to social media shows one protester pouring a can of what appears to be tomato soup over the head of another before both remove their jackets to reveal t-shirts emblazoned with the 'Just Stop Oil' slogan. One of the protesters then glues his head to the glass panel protecting the painting's surface, while the other glues his hand to the wall next to the painting. According to the Maritshuis, a third protester also threw an "unknown substance" at the painting.

"How do you feel when you see something beautiful and priceless being apparently destroyed before your eyes?" one of the demonstrators asks the horrified crowd, framing their outrage as "good" while asking, "Where is that feeling when you see the planet being destroyed before our very eyes?"

Mexico residents are one step closer to no longer changing the time of their clocks twice a year.

The country's Senate voted 59-25, with 12 abstentions, to approve a measure to eliminate daylight saving time in the country. The bill has now moved to the desk of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador for signing, as Mexico's Chamber of Deputies has already approved the bill, according to the Associated Press.

Once signed, the law will go into effect on Sunday, when Mexico turns its clocks back to conclude daylight saving time this year. The president is expected to sign the bill, as he has spoken out against daylight saving time in the past, according to Reuters.

The employee responsible for hacking The New York Post's website and Twitter account on Thursday has been fired.

In an updated statement, a spokesperson for the Post said, "The New York Post's investigation indicates that the unauthorized conduct was committed by an employee, and the employee has been terminated. This morning, we immediately removed the vile and reprehensible content from our website and social media accounts."

The hacker posted several racist headlines on-site and on Twitter before being removed.

Comment: A rather unsophisticated attack, all things considered. They could have at least used more believable headlines.
