Latest piece. If the Dems take control of Congress, the first investigation (after corruption) has to be about the use of AI in US warfare. American tech executives have placed themselves in a pernicious situation and we need to understand what happened. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/the-first-...

Imagine the feeling when a mole suddenly crawls up onto your nose and stares into your empty eye sockets. I mean, that's awkward - no matter how long you are dead. Read the first chapter of "LET ME REST IN PEACE" here: chrispyak.substack.com/p/chapter-one
A sign of hope?
🔥👀 The retreat known as the Eagle’s Nest built for Adolf Hitler in the Bavarian Alps was almost completely destroyed in a fire, and work to extinguish the blaze was still in progress Saturday, authorities said. A suspect was detained, - AP News Police later said it burned down almost completely.
Give yourself a break before the insanity starts again. Take 10 minutes for yourself. Decompress - and enjoy a skeleton practicing yoga in Cantabria - and his crazy adventures: chrispyak.substack.com/p/chapter-one (If you like #DnD, #DouglasAdams, #TerryPratchett: you will like this I hope.)

Es ist die Aufgabe der Presse, aber auch von uns Bürgern, der Verwaltung und der Regierung auf die Finger zu schauen.
*BREAKING* Dobrindt will Bürger*innen, Medien und Organisationen das Recht auf Informationsfreiheit nehmen. Seine Begründung: Sicherheitsgefahren & eine überlastete Verwaltung. Belege dafür? Hat sein Ministerium nicht. Das hat FragDenStaat jetzt durch eine Klage herausgefunden: heise.de/-11494684

It is so important that European leaders acknowledge the truth as Kaja Kallas does here. Trump and the USG have been trying to force Ukraine to surrender for almost two years. There has been no recent pivot to Russia. It’s been a constant US policy www.euronews.com/2026/10/20/k...

The Guardian reporting on the UN warning that the world must cut emissions by 18% in four years to avert catastrophic warming above 2.5C shows the deadly price of political procrastination. Delaying green transition endangers us all. Why tolerate inaction? 🤔 #ClimateAction

Vielleicht glauben die Menschen es auch einfach nicht mehr, dass "überall gespart" werden muss und dass "kein Geld da sei" und dass alles teurer werden müsse, wenn gleichzeitig Billionäre entstehen, ganze Branchen die größten Übergewinne aller Zeiten machen und Rekorddividenden ausgeschüttet werden.

Das Gefährliche am Beruf des Publizisten, zumal in Internetzeitalter, ist die Transparenz und Überprüfbarkeit des eigenen Redens und Schreibens nach Jahren. Habe aber heute im Wesentlichen nichts zurückzunehmen bzgl Laschet 2021, Merz, CDU.
Lustig. Hatte gerade vorhin dieses Interview von 2025 mit ihm über die rechte Ausrichtung von Merz und CDU gehört und finde den Beitrag im Nachhinein noch erhellender. Püttmann schätze ich sehr und folge ihm schon seit Twitterzeiten...

Dann hört doch einfach Nazi zu wählen. When I learnt German in my early teens Spiegel used to be very cool, not now. My God lack of specialised workforce isn't a new thing. It just got worse!
Mit dem Sondervermögen steht Bund und Ländern eigentlich genug Geld zur Verfügung, um die Infrastruktur wieder auf Vordermann zu bringen. Allein: es gibt zu wenige Fachkräfte, die die Arbeiten erledigen könnten.
Went to "Cueva de las monedas", about 25 minutes from my home in #Santander today. A beautiful quiet place with 13000 year old paintings. Some of the oldest surviving pieces of art. Get a glance at #Cantabria in my weekly comedy novel "Let Me Rest in Peace": chrispyak.substack.com/p/zero-and-p...
Europe needs to build all systems in Europe. And drop existing US weapon deals.
1/ The Musk-Trump decision to degrade Ukraine's Starlink access as a pressure tactic is a disaster not just for the United States' reputation but for the entire US defence industry. Musk's action may end up burning the whole industry. ⬇️
