Day 1706 of my 3 day war. Vucic lost in Serbia, Bolsonaro lost in Brazil and Donald couldn't rig a casino he owns, never mind the midterms. I remain a master strategist.

#Eleicoes2026 : #Lula victory speech: "We had to overcome foreign interference through #digitalplatforms, which we will have to regulate. We cannot have monstrously huge corporations earning millions & billions, paying no taxes to this country & trying to steer this country's election results."

Musk is lying about Ukraine using civilian Starlink on combat drones. Since February, any Starlink terminal operating in motion has needed military Starshield authorization. No Starshield – no connection. Using civilian Starlink on drones was technically impossible. Period.

“Honey we can’t buy eggs, we have to set aside $7 to bomb the kids in Gaza. Remember?” Abdul El-Sayed is absolutely crushing it. This is the most brilliant ad of all time 👏🏼

Canada is moving away from Elon Musk’s Starlink, committing roughly $5 billion to Telesat and expanding satellite partnerships with Europe, South Korea and Norway. Carney cited Ukraine’s Starshield restrictions as a warning against relying on one provider.

It's normal to take thermal images of your dryer wiring, right? A couple of crimps had gone bad and high impedance and melted wires. I wanted to make sure that wasn't still happening.

Fallout from the Starlink restrictions could hit US weapons exports such as the F-35. There were already concerns that the F-35 has a built-in software kill switch. And the US actions on Starlink just turned that risk from theoretical to something proven and real. Very costly choice by the US.

Wolves roam into Finnish villages after Google destroys 1,300 acres of forest for AI data centers — forest where wolf packs used to live is now an expanse of mud This is thankfully a less common but still very serious side effect of an AI data center being built nearby.

​Adding 6 panels to my garage roof—€1,350 total, with 3.5 years projected ROI. ​Since I already have a hybrid inverter and home battery, taking advantage of the empty roof space right above it was a no-brainer. That price covers all materials (optimizers, DC/PE wiring, etc) and I will install myself

Just crazy reporting by NYT—Kushner and Witkoff making a secret deal with a sanctioned Russian company to control a huge gas project in the US. Good for this guy for getting the heck out and talking to the Times

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Mensen vluchten voor oorlog, leven op straat, staan in de rij bij de Voedselbank, wachten maanden op psychische hulp, kunnen geen huis vinden, werken zich kapot om rond te komen, maar laten we vooral niet vergeten wie het grootste slachtoffer is: de rijken.

The *second* best thing about a James Talarico win would be how angry this annoying, interfering dork will be at not being able to buy a Senate seat for $200,000,000.

Hardware implants were put in Ledger wallets to steal recovery seeds for crypto accounts. Someone used the seeds last week to hijack $100 million from 300 crypto accounts. Ledger was warned last March about implants but did little. There's evidence the stolen seeds were sent to Hong Kong. My story:

In 2012, Robin Williams warned us about Trump’s ownership of pageants like Miss America and Miss Universe, comparing it to Michael Vick owning pet stores: “It’s a catch-and-release program.” We should have listened to Robin.
