Brilliant thread, explaining how Israel got to where it is at, in domestic and foreign policy and politics.

Africa is on track to install a RECORD 17 GW of solar capacity in 2026, a 45% increase from the year before ☀️📈 Ensuring grid financing at #COP31 could turn this solar boom into wider access to electricity across the region 🌍 ember-energy.org/lat...

Toivottavasti valtiovalta seuraa, @valtioneuvosto.fi ja @vm.fi ja @vtv.fi jne... samalla voisi poistus X:ä. Jos verkostoeffekti huolettaa, niin ajatelkaa niin, että voitte olla edelläkävijöitä täällä, käyttää Signalia eikä WA jne...

There's more. Much more. Read here: meidasnews.com/news/so-much...

"Updating is the only safe choice" As PHP releases the details of its critical vulnerabilities, governments around the world are taking their websites offline for updates. Security researchers warn things could be real bad if systems aren't patched immediately Story with @lhn.bsky.social

Am soooo excited that Nordic West Office is revealing our Global Scenarios 2035 today, at Miltton House. Overheard ”I think it’s very useful to do scenarios. They provide a model, a framework, identify opportunities and create a shared language of/for decision makers”

"Etulyöntiasema kestää usein vain kuukausia: kun uusi laite osoittautuu tehokkaaksi, vihollinen muuttaa tekniikkaansa ja taktiikkaansa. Siksi ratkaisevaa ei ole yksittäinen keksintö vaan kyky tuottaa, testata ja päivittää kokonaisuuksia nopeammin kuin vastustaja." R&D keskiössä kohti tulevaisuutta.

With Finland and Norway involved it definitely gives me more hope. The situation is clearly not a bed of roses. But the Nordic nations have such strong track records in working for peace it gives a glimmer of positivity. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is a level of dedication to the mission, to brothers in arms, and ability to suffer that no one in the Trump Administration could even conceive of. Yet, here we are, witnessing technical ingenuity and a true warrior spirit - SecDef H wouldn’t last a week.

Imagine any other industry, even within technology, getting to do and getting away with what AI-TechBros are doing? That’s right, they’d be sued out of existence - quickly.

It takes minutes to cut trees down, perhaps hours for a family of Redwoods like this, but decades and centuries to grow forests. If only all politicians and companies understood that and valued nature.

Suomen Puolustusministeri Häkkänen voisi kun seuraavan kerran tapaa USAn puolustusministeri Hegsethin, vaatia ihan anteeksipyyntöä Suomalaisten - ja muiden liittolaisten - uhrauksien vähättelemisestä, ehkä lopettaa sanomalla: "Did you even say Thank You?"

A Russian state sat knocking off a private (ICEYE) sat would be...interesting. Many people have spent time thinking about what possible responses could/should be. How much time and how publicly, that would depend on the country, its security policy culture and the maturity of its 'space force'.

I would love someone to remind this Ambassador that Microsoft, Apple & Co NEED the EU as a market and any threats such as this 👇🏼 could ultimately be met by banning or limiting part of their products or services in Europe. Just pat the Ambassador on the head and tell him to go away.

Zelenskyy: "If the United States supports Putin, it's unbelievable, it's a tragedy. It's a historic mistake. If United States officially takes the side of Russia, of course we will not prevail and we will not be able to stand."

JOS on totta, kuten on raportoitu, että käsky rajoittaa Ukrainan kykyä käyttää SatCom (Starlink/shield) tuli Valkoisen Talon Sisältä, on todellisen "tänkka på" hetken aika. Trumpin hallinto on sui generis, mutta kysymys on: tekisikö saman liittolaisille?

”Venäjä pommittaa viidettä vuotta ukrainalaisten koteja ja kaupunkeja. Ei ole mitään syytä päästää venäläisiä lomailemaan Eurooppaan.”

I think I am going to start posing this question on a regular basis, until I get a satisfactory answer: If Putin’s attacks on Europe do not come with a cost, why would he stop?

It seems to me that the best thing the next U.S. president - or Congress - could do is to nationalize Starlink. It is a clear core national security asset and should not be in private control. #nationalizestarlink

I have deleted or saved so many drafts about this. The whole idea is born of an unquenchable lust for ritual killing and for making strangers complicit in it. It has many historical precedents, but none as optimized for an age of autoplaying viral videos

And now the best part: Bot traffic from the #Yandex network has plunged to near zero following the strike on its Vladimir data center. Bot traffic includes automated requests from search crawlers, scrapers and other online services. Twitter must be a ghost town by now.

Let me join the Ukrainians and the whole world by telling America it’s time to get a new president and lock this one up for the rest of his days.

It's important to remember that the AI doom scenario assumes not only that intelligence is a single well-defined thing, but also that intelligence solves literally every single problem, and that in every conflict overwhelming intelligence always wins. This is just not how anything works.

Ted Lasso: this is great! We’re all talking, getting along. Diesel is flowing… Much of the world: OK, strange… but ok US Allies & Partners: 🤔

One person (Thiel) saying Pope and President Obama are seeking popularity by questioning the TechLords dystopian vision seems to confirm the very thing. Be kind to others and nature… is just seemingly beyond them.

OG on OG, mutta on hyvä että joku uudistuu. Läpät on huomenna uusia, kasvot samoja - omat vanhempia ja Jukan vaan komeampia.

“The demarche request appears to be an unusual administration effort to use allied government pressure to silence criticism from European citizens and Americans abroad” www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Tässä on joko ministerin tai virkakunnan totaalinen mielikuvituksen puute kyseessä… he ei siis löydä ensimmäistäkään tulkintaa laista jolla Google voisi tässä tilanteessa pitää vastuussa? yle.fi/a/74-20250624

Olen viettänyt paljon aikaa 🇫🇮 medioiden odotus huoneissa, joissa pääosin on nähtävissä että poliitikot arvostavat maamme medioita ja toimittajien ammattimaisuutta; vaalien alla tunku ruutuun on merkittävä. Sen takia vihastuttaa nähdä mitä poliittiset päätökset tekevät mediakentällemme.

Tuo punainen viiva tulee jatkamaan matkaansa, rikkoen kaikki ennätykset, koska El Nino vaikutus ei vielä ole edes lähellä maksimaalista. Mitä Suomen pitäisi tehdä asialle? Sitä toimittajat voivat kysyä poliitikoilta, ennen vaalejamme.

NEW RESEARCH: Pakistan's solar boom is one of the world's most impressive renewable deployment stories. It is also a story about a broken grid, high electricity prices and inequality. This is the first peer-reviewed paper to take a deep dive into it. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

BIG NEWS: Up to 75% of global energy demand could be electrified by 2050 with technologies we already have. Progress is slow and the barriers are mostly political and institutional. Today we launch the Oxford Martin Electrification Accelerator to change that. oxfordmartin.ox.ac.uk/electrification

The shock gloves immigration agents could soon use to control detainees and protesters worked so powerfully during a military exercise that participants felt intense pain, according to a previously unreleased Army study.

"Arvopohjaiset asekaupat ovat hyvien aikojen etuoikeus, eivät vaikeiden vuosien itseisarvo." Paremmin ei asiaa voisi kiteyttää. Hienoa @iltalehti.fi www.iltalehti.fi/paakirjoitus...

“Democracy has been hailed as, like, the holy grail for the last couple hundred years, but democracies are inefficient,” said the crypto billionaire. “If you get a benevolent dictator, it’s actually extremely efficient." Hmm, where have I heard this before? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/b...

AI companies and the partners they handpicked triggered the recent wave of cyberattacks while tinkering with experimental models, pushing their limits to see how dangerous they could get. My new @brennancenter.org essay explains how lawmakers should regulate risky uses of AI the public doesn't see👇

Our current answer to this terror wave - that Ukraine might receive more air defence missiles in eight to ten business weeks - is woefully inadequate We need to use our air force to shoot down these missiles and bombs, at least in the western part of Ukraine

Musk & Co will in 120 days do what legion US and int’l military and civilian experts on war have been unable to do. At this rate, the Pentagon will be ready to fight some mixture of LotR, Starship Troopers and Star Wars -remixed wars. www.cnbc.com/2026/09/30/m...

Miksi Suomalaisille tuputetaan ideaa, että mihinkään provokaatioon ei saisi reagoida, jäitä hattuun vaan jne… Haluaisin kuulla että ’joku’ on toteuttanut jotain vasta-operaatioita niitä kohtaan jotka ovat systemaattisesti vainonneet meidän poliittisia johtajia.
