i will never forget how elon musk said absolutely nothing at all about the NASA artemis ii mission except one post making fun of that women who took the photo of the launch in the reflection of her glasses. he hates space

Just to be clear: if USA destroys Iranian powerplants it will be a war crime, holocaust of countless people coming winters, and an act that should trigger another Nuremberg trial. Even if USA does pay war reparations to Iran, rebuilding that critical civilian infrastructure will take years.

International community should demand USA pays Iran reparations for every single thing they destroyed in this mad war.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Amazing thread explaining in detail what you see on the new backlit photo of the Earth from #ArtemisII

Katie Mack@astrokatie.com

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: β˜€οΈπŸŒπŸš€πŸŒ•

πŸ‡­πŸ‡ΊπŸ‘€ Orban is massively buying votes in Hungary's poorest regions. This is revealed in a large-scale investigation, "The Price of a Vote," jointly conducted by six independent Hungarian projects. Party representatives are traveling to villages and offering local residents $150-$170 per vote. 1/2

That is, it's an iterative design-and-development strategy, not a testing strategy. The so-called "test" is an example of how you expect to use the code you're about to write. 2/10

An interesting paper about the viability of keeping conspiracies secret, when you require a significant amount of participants. Mathematical model can be used to predict all sorts of stuff, e.g. election fraud conspiracy, secret weapons, etc. journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

As someone who has stopped using Twitter ~3 years ago, after having been on it daily for the prior 16 years, it is *so* clear how much the current hateful and extreme state of the platform warps the views of its users, and NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT. I see the effect so much working in tech.

US just entered the war with Iran. The country that used to be Democratic, but US itself overthrew that to gain access to the resources... and when that stopped working, mass sanctioning has begun, until we arrived here - another attempt at overthrowing Iranian government to strip-mine it dry. ☠️☠️☠️

The reason Elon made Grok in the first place was because he assumed OpenAI was turning the secret β€œwoke” dial up too high and small parameter tweaks could make it right-wing. Now he has realized the only way to get the AI to agree with him is to lobotomize it by rewriting the entire training set.

Just a reminder: #Iran did have a deal with the US and EU regulating non-proliferation, the deal worked, Iran was compliant with all the inspections. Then the US under Trump's 1st term broke it and started punishing the EU when we tried to salvage it. Now #Israel funded by the US struck them πŸ˜’

#Jubilee 's #Surrounded is literally a perpetual conflict machine. It festers on conflict to create more conflict and advance conflict into a new spaces. Format they chose is fundamentally incompatible with conflict resolution.

#Poland #PiS is winning not because of programme or bribing people with social. It wins by ruthlessly attacking the elites - it made the Polish boor feel proud of his boorishness, the ignorant proud of his ignorance, and those that failed feel like successful are to blame for the failures.

The U.S. and EU are no longer coordinating efforts to counter Russia’s sanctions evasion β€” internal German Foreign Ministry report. Transatlantic cooperation has collapsed, G7 momentum is gone, and 80% of circumvention cases are linked to China and Hong Kong.

#France is the opposite of #UK - consistently good every year. And this year is no different! Very good song with amazingly creative visuals! This dirt dropping, dirt fountain, never seen stuff like that on Eurovision! Great work!
