I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Russian disinformation trying extra hard this week, they've unusually deepfaked the audio and video of various European leaders as part of a disinformation campaign targeting Moldovan President Maia Sandu, who has been a regular target of their past activity.

You know what? I’ll take it - better than no Romanian at all. Also fun anecdote - ‘Deşteaptǎ-te române’ was also written in Cyrillic.
Some historical oddity news: Transnistria would like to remind everyone that it is still publishing a newspaper in Romanian using the Cyrillic script, which it says is the only one left in the world...

Speaking of malignant liars Musk tweeted on Saturday that xAI had plenty of capital and wasn't raising money (as reported by Bloomberg last week)
Then on Saturday we find out SpaceX just dumped $2 bil in.
Then today we find out $TSLA will hold a shareholder vote to dump more money in.

The reason Elon made Grok in the first place was because he assumed OpenAI was turning the secret “woke” dial up too high and small parameter tweaks could make it right-wing. Now he has realized the only way to get the AI to agree with him is to lobotomize it by rewriting the entire training set.

By destroying many nuclear-capable strategic bombers operated by the russian terrorist state, Ukrainian forces have made the world a lot safer.
While the rest of the world sits back and refuses to fight, Ukrainians do what needs to be done. Thank you, defenders!

I just can't believe it. I spent so much of the campaign mocking the Trump trade plans with "haha why would you tariff bananas", thinking they couldn't possibly be dumb enough to actually do it. Now here we are and they just put 25% tariffs on avocados, tomatoes, raspberries, etc
