Putin is treating Trump as one of his oligarks: “You and your family can get access to these business deals, if you do this dirty work for me.” Trump: "I think it's time for Ukraine to get a new president" Trump: "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much"

The rise in Niño 3.4 region sea surface temperatures over the past few weeks has been nothing short of astonishing. We are now hotter than any days during the 1997/1998 super El Niño event, and we are still many months from the peak.

Reading this, you have a simple epistemic choice: either the Financial Times is a rabidly anti-semitic paper relaying serial blood libels or Israel is in fact committing war crimes, up to and including genocide

Jeg tror ikke folk helt har blik for hvor ubehageligt det kan være hvis man siger noget om det emne. Voksne eksperter viger uden om at kommentere på krigen i Palæstina fordi reaktionerne er så voldsomme. Det ville være uansvarligt at tvinge vores børn til at tage stilling offentligt.

exciting to see more language acquisition work shifting the lens to peer communication! @clairebergey.bsky.social is organizing a CogSci symposium highlighting related lines of work this summer!

For veterans of the Eurozone crisis, this is quite incredible - today Greece has a lower borrowing cost than both the UK and the US for their 10 year bonds. I had to check, all of the previous so called 'PIIGS' (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Spain) have lower borrowing costs than the US today.

Great thread on why Trump's tariffs and attacks on U.S. institutions is idiocy of historic proportions.

Just got to the Mall and saw this sign, which no one is going to top. #HandsOff2025

3yo Tymofiy 7yo Radyslav 7yo Arina 9yo Herman 15yo Danylo 15yo Mykyta 15yo Alina 16yo Kostiantyn 17yo Nikita President Zelenskyi published the names of kids, innocent victims of the russian terror attack against Kryvyi Rih residential district yesterday. Never forgive. Never forget.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

The most unprofessional administration in history

There will be no election in Ukraine before there is peace, and Putin will not agree to peace as long as Zelensky is in power. Peace is thus not achievable anytime soon. How will Trump attempt to avoid loosing face and who will he blame for his failure? www.thetimes.com/world/russia...

"Meanwhile, it now seems likely that the oldest commissioned ship in the U.S. Navy, the USS Constitution, will be disposed of."

Elon Musk recently called out Reddit users for banning links to X and threatening DOGE staffers Turns out he was also texting Reddit’s CEO www.theverge.com/command-line...

Let it begin.

A former senior Air Force official on Signalgate -- 'not even a close call' that Hegseth should resign. www.defenseone.com/ideas/2025/0...

Omfanget af det OPSEC-fuckup, The Atlantic beskrev i går, kan næsten ikke overdrives. I enhver anden sammenhæng havde samtlige involverede mistet deres sikkerhedsgodkendelser og dermed deres fremtrædende positioner. At den ene, Hegseth, har været soldat burde være en skærpende omstændighed. (1/4)

American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY

First they came for the defense companies, but I did not speak up as I was a pacifist american. Then they came for banking and IT but I worked in construction. Then there was a crashed dollar and not so great America.

Slesvig-Holsten migrerer 30.000 offentlige computere fra Microsoft til open source-løsninger som Linux, LibreOffice og Nextcloud. Målet? Digital suverænitet, datasikkerhed og mindre afhængighed af enkeltleverandører. #OpenSource #DigitalSuverænitet 1/4

Rubio’s position seems to be: - We get to say who is a terrorist. Our decision is final. It can’t be challenged. Just trust us. - Once we decide you are a terrorist, we can immediately deport you. No judges. - After we deport you, we can make you rot in a foreign prison. No criminal charges needed.

“France’s research minister said a French scientist was denied entry to the US this month after immigration officers at an airport searched his phone and found messages in which he had expressed criticism of the Trump administration.” He had been traveling to a conference near Houston, TX. 3/19/25

Everyone should watch this video. @vladvexler.bsky.social highlights aspects of narcissism that I think most people are not aware of, and how it explains Trump’s submissive attitude towards Putin.

Mere vanvid fra #Maga lejren. Et stort stykke af demokratiet og verdenshistorien bliver stille stranguleret

Mike has been a friend of mine since we were young reporters at the @washingtonpost.com in the 1980s. He brims with talent, integrity and commitment to the truth. This is exactly what I expected and he had hoped he could stave off, which is a trash move by trash people. Throw them out.

Så har jeg deaktiveret min konto på X. Orker ikke algoritmerne og troldene mere - og oplever et langt bedre debatklima her 🙏 For jo vi må gerne være uenige, men baseret på fakta og en ordentlig debat

Good to see that Trump will respect the rights of Greenlanders to choose not to become part of the U.S. It is an extremely unpopular proposition in Greenland.

How long before US will begin export of weapons to Russia, now where they make it unreliable for everyone else to buy from them? news.online.ua/en/the-us-is...

without section 230, you could have a world where bluesky is liable for me calling this man a clueless, tech illiterate, fascist enabling motherfucker

I wrote section 230 to protect the little guys and the upstarts like Bluesky. Repealing section 230 only helps Meta, Musk, and Donald Trump.

Hackaday - It seems that in lieu of being provided with proper (encrypted) radio systems, Russian forces fighting Ukraine are using US military satellites for communication. hackaday.com/2025/02/19/t...

The war, the geopolitical uncertainty and the new arms race started by Putin have left Europe with no choice. Europe must be ready for this race, and Russia will lose it like the Soviet Union 40 years ago. From today, Europe will arm itself more wisely and faster than Russia.

In grim contrast to the red carpet, Soheila Golestani faces 74 lashes for her Oscar-nominated film, The Seed of the Sacred Fig. Watch this film to understand the repression of Iran’s theocratic regime &why the #WomenLifeFreedom movement is so important: www.thetimes.com/culture/film...

Malhuret knows the end goal.

"I en opsigtsvækkende analyse foreslår en professor i militære studier og to økonomer en nordisk-baltisk-polsk forsvarsalliance, som alene i kraft af stærk økonomi vil kunne modstå og udkonkurrere Rusland." www.berlingske.dk/indland/ny-a...

NATO is broken Poland's foreign ministry: US decision to suspend military aid to Ukraine taken without consulting or informing allies (Guardian) www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

The place to donate for supporting Ukraine's army. I just signed up for a weekly donation of 13EUR/week (~100DKK/week).

Elon Musk and Trump wants the minerals. They will rather let Russia take Ukraine and make a minerals deal with Russia, than to support Ukraine to the end. Dark times.

Why not use Trumps own extortion tactics against him. We could pressure with a revenue tax on both streaming services and digital advertising on the big SoMe platforms (>500k users)

"Grudler said expediting the deployment of Govsatcom this year by skipping the certification process could work as a stopgap solution while IRIS² is being developed" So maybe Ukraine can have some alternative to Starlink available within the next year? www.politico.eu/article/eu-t...
