Twitter ("X") and Facebook ("Meta") started out as data mining operations where their users are unpaid data entry clerks. They expanded to become information warfare platforms for fascist russia – working against democracy and for the oligarchy. They must be publicly regulated.

I genuinely wonder how many men would've been killed in Rei vs Asuka duels if someone had showed Evangelion to people in the Renaissance era.

Should there be a maximum age for national leaders? I'd put it at less than 80. Perhaps 75.

It's not a good sign for the Brazilian left that they couldn't do better than the guy who was president when I was in high school. Remember that US Democrats also elected an extremely old person before everything went to shit.

A proposed deal between Airbus, Leonardo and Thales aims to strengthen Europe’s satellite industry as Elon Musk’s Starlink sets the pace in low Earth orbit. It could also leave the EU with fewer suppliers for its own secure communications network. 🔗 vist.ly/5p2bq

1/11 We just avoided a major climate policy backlash that could have pushed the Amazon closer to irreversible collapse and made global warming far harder to slow. Lula’s victory matters far beyond Brazil. What was at stake? A forest that helps regulate the climate we all depend on. 👇

Next week marks 300 years since the publication of Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels. In Lilliput, high government positions went to those who performed the best tricks on a tightrope before the ruler. Hard not to see parallels with the appointment practices of some modern “great” powers.

Bloody hell. At my local Belgian beer bar. Thought I'd try something new. Boon Kriek Mariage Parfait. A naturally tart and sour beer. It was £11 for a 300ml bottle and I only found out both facts after buying it! Apparently it needs to mature in the bottle for 5 yrs, so I am not enjoying it... 😭

Stop. Using. Meta.

Meta gave $1M to Trump's inauguration fund — and Mark Zuckerberg himsef has helped bankroll Trump's ballroom. Now Trump's DOJ has halted a years-long criminal investigation into allegedly enabling and profiting from illegal drug sales on its platforms. Funny how that works, huh?

Any yanks moving to Europe, here's a guide I've whipped up for the approximate culture and climate equivalents.

I almost want to volunteer and become the first fat man to wobble in zero gravity.

Ну якщо путін гуманіст, тоді Чикатило просто гурман Спецпредставник Трампа Віткофф назвав путіна «гуманістом» і заявив, що є передумови для припинення вогню в Україні «Ви так багато говорите про мого президента, Трампа, як про гуманіста. Ви теж гуманіст, пане», - сказав Віткофф путіну

[Commentator voice]: And we're here for the 11:15 Champion Hurdle Stakes, live from Ain't-Tree. In the blue colours is She-Wolf riding Hog Heaven, 3/1 favourite. In the green top is Owl Howl on Eel Sqeal, 5/1. In black is Weremilf riding Grunty McGruntface, 100/1 outsider. And they're off…

Good morning, W.

If you have nuclear weapons, do not give them up under any circumstances. If you don't have nuclear weapons, develop them as soon as possible. If your country is too small or poor to develop nuclear weapons, find partners and develop a shared nuclear weapons program with them.

The price of sovereignty is the ability to reduce Washington, Moscow and Beijing and other imperialist capitals to smoking craters.

We're developing a service station for the Moon. 🌕 OASIS will provide power, communications and data services to scientific experiments, helping them survive the two-week lunar night and operate for years.

This week I added 340 words to my novel and fixed a typo in another chapter. -cracks neck- feels good to be productive.

Happy International Repair day! Let's remember that having the #RightToRepair your equipment, electronics, car, house, etc frees you from corporate greed. On this day, I like to look back at the previous year of what all I have saved, restored, repaired, and discarded. #InternationalRepairDay
