Somewhere Bismarck is looking down in confusion as Germany projects power by sending 4,000 pensioners, 12 buffet stations and a TUI loyalty program through the Strait of Hormuz

The hungry red panda at the Prospect Park Zoo? Adorable. The HungryPanda delivery app scamming small businesses? Not adorable. So they will be paying $580,000 back. We'll keep pursuing companies that take advantage of New Yorkers, and we'll keep asking if we can pet a red panda just for a second.

I pray for a calm night. I caution anyone tempted to key in a joke about trump & recommend to pause and reflect. There is a chance he will do it. There is a chance soldiers will obey and we experience the most gruesome crime against humanity. He must go.

PORCO ROSSO is, in my opinion, pretty good. letterboxd.com/andrewmoxon/...

Military purges can consolidate power at the top. They can also weaken the very institution leaders rely on in a crisis.

Denmark is willing to defend its sovereign territory against any aggressor - including, potentially, the US. This is the conclusion of an excellent piece by Danish national broadcaster DR on the active defence set up by 🇩🇰Denmark to defend 🇬🇱Greenland against a US military operation. 1/4

Seems like a good moment to re-up my primer on the endless empty promises that strategic airpower can win wars entirely from the air: acoup.blog/2022/10/21/c...

Quite the statement from the Prime Minister of Poland

Good moment to repost my paper from last year, mapping the cards Europe could play in response to US coercion. Most of them could be played via the anti-coercion instrument. Digital services charges and (de facto) export controls are the keys. ecfr.eu/publication/...

Misapplied strategic ambiguity… a term to note

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

I don’t like these kind of speculations, but it’s very hard to look away from this. All this went too smooth for Russia to not be involved, sorry to say. And now this…

I hope we are alert that Greenland 🇬🇱 was on the list for a long time and if he wanted, he could just take it.

These freaks want territorial expansion and they know Trump will do everything he can to deliver. This isn’t just a tweet from some random asshole either. This is Stephen Miller’s wife. Miller was in the room with Trump during the kidnapping of Maduro.

Die letzten Meter der Zielgeraden: Uns fehlen in diesem Jahr nur noch 33.000 Euro. Das sind nur knapp 790 Menschen, die einmalig 42 Euro spenden. Wenn du kannst, wirf noch schnell deine 42 Euro in den Ring. Wir brauchen dich. Jetzt. netzpolitik.org/digitalfights netzpolitik.org/2025/der-cou...

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

As AI plays an increasingly important role in our lives, a new survey by @powerswitchaction.org shines a light on the experiences of Uber drivers. The results paint a bleak picture of what it’s like when AI decides your pay, outlining what’s at stake for all working people if we don’t take action.

In testimony yesterday before the House Committee on Energy & Commerce, @ambakak.bsky.social spelled out what we have to lose: this moratorium on state AI laws flies in the face of common sense – it sets back the clock and freezes it there.

Politologe @drfranksauer.bsky.social : "Über Trump lernen wir, dass er im Zweifel immer uns Europäern in den Rücken fallen u. sich auf Putins Seite stellen wird." Die Verlässlichkeiten der letzten Jahrzehnte existieren nicht mehr - darauf muss Europa sich einstellen u. vorbereiten. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

The Montreal AI Ethics newsletter is so good today: brief.montrealethics.ai/p/the-ai-eth... 💠 Not only bc it features a piece on our new SHADES project to assess LLM stereotypes around the globe montrealethics.ai/towards-a-mu... 💠 It also has great assessments of the state of AI right now.

"The devastating hacks confirm the analysis that I'm sharing... that TeleMessage's server – hosted on the public AWS cloud, run by an Israeli company that's led by a former IDF spook – has plaintext access to the Signal chat logs they're archiving" along with chats for Telegram, WeChat, and WhatsApp

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Read more from the funeral: wapo.st/3YdDGqM
