What Euan said. Trump's strategic idiocy makes it too easy for Dems to ignore the list of strategic blunders of their own Presidents around flashpoints from Ghouta, to Crimea, to Helmand to Scarborough Shoal

I joined Louis Sykes on "The Trump Report" to talk about what I discovered while writing my next book, 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘖𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘸, on Russia's long-term programme of political subversion of the USA, and whether it has succeeded. Louis called it "alarming". See what you think. youtu.be/dKLECqMRNy8?...

Scrolling LinkedIn and seeing a celebratory post with “The team celebrating a fantastic Q2” and it’s 6-8 people from an office of 60. US companies do suffer from literally not a single person ever going “Team will this look pathetic?” Might benefit from hiring more Eastern Europeans. 👍

That said, let us take a moment to thank our Bluesky Trans and Furry Elders for freaking out Jack Dorsey so much he bolted and left us this nice social media playground, taking most of his crypto chuds with him. We thank you for your service.

Move fast and flood everything with AI

Der Google-Earth-Eklat zeigt eine problematische Tendenz: Den Wunsch von Tech-Konzernen, überall KI einzubauen – selbst dort, wo sie keine gute Idee ist.

The Moroccan government confirmed that the Ceuta migration wave was organized and amplified through social media. A similar campaign is currently being run on TikTok, where people from Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq are being encouraged to migrate through Belarus to EU via the Baltic states. 1/2

The EPP and ECR partisan hackery over Ceuta is cynical, dumb and self-sabotage from governments that might face similar trouble soon. But the Pikachu shocked face reactions at politics happening when it comes to an increasingly state-like EU is also a bit tiring.

EPP-affiliated regional and national political hacks gang up on unlucky S&D-affiliated regional or local leader facing crisis for partisan advantage is the meat and drink of EU member state politics. The more political and powerful the EU gets, the more partisan polarisarion goes supra-national.

Please stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.

People still complain about “lockdowns” but we had none in the US. We had stay-at-home orders, where although businesses were closed, you could still go outside whenever you wanted. Other countries had far stricter rules, and yet have been much more accepting of them as they saved many more lives.

Bei den Nachrichten gilt aber grundsätzlich ein „KI-Verbot“. Bei echten Ereignissen verwenden wir nur echte Videos, nie KI. Die Badges müssen also nur zum Einsatz kommen, wenn wir explizit Fakes thematisieren, etwa wenn wir im Studio Falschinfos analysieren.
