Europeans should pay more attention to this absolutely crucial aspect of Trump's efforts & plan for it.
Were this to go through (likely meaning conditional phasing out of US sanctions) this would be absolute dynamite for European unity with huge divisions likely to emerge.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Nobody in America is safe. If Trump’s secret police force will execute a government employed VA nurse on camera for us all to see and then lie about it, then they won’t hesitate to kill you next and lie about you.

This is fascism. They are Nazis.

ChatGPT is one of the services where I am most concerned about enshittification.
Time to dump ChatGPT!

The latest model of ChatGPT has begun to cite Elon Musk’s Grokipedia as a source on a wide range of queries, including on Iranian conglomerates and Holocaust deniers, raising concerns about misinformation on the platform.

Guys the people currently grabbing up power in the USA are part of a network that openly believes in "passive eugenics" so yes they are trying to kill everybody. They think the planet is overpopulated with "the wrong kinds of people"

to young people: you may at some point have heard about the Y2K problem. some people may have told you it wasn't a big deal

i need you to understand the only reason it wasn't a big deal was that everyone spent loads of time fixing code before it could become a problem, which is why it never did

OTD in 1991 January events in Vilnius began. They are part of our "peaceful withdrawal from our own territory of the USSR" which Lithuania had joined "on a contractual basis".

14 died and 700+ injured "trying to stop is leaving" is how my tankies say it.

Health experts: Your synthetic text "AI" overviews are misleading, for example see this about liver function tests.
Google: Okay, we'll block "AI" overviews on that query.

The product is fundamentally flawed and cannot be "fixed" by patching query by query.

This is spot on. X is not primarily a social media platform anymore. It's a power space for America's neo-royalty, and other governments are afraid of Trump's anger if they leave.

That's why "our government communications now happen on a deepfake porn site", and nobody does anything.
X Is a Power Problem, Not a Platform Problem

Illicit cryptocurrency addresses received at least $154 billion in 2025. According to Chainalysis, almost two-thirds of the funds have been linked to sanctions evasion activity. Most came from Russian organizations

One of the organizations the US withdrew from is the European Centre for Countering Hybrid Threats.

That group primarily focuses on protecting European democracies from hostile Russian intelligence and military operations. Except the current US government hopes to see those hostile ops succeed.

Few thoughts on the Greenland saga, summarized in a short thread. Some of these points have already sparked debate on X, but after Miller’s speech, I am even more convinced. 🧵Thread

1/ First and foremost, Denmark is not only a member of the EU, but also a founding member of NATO.

There is a lot of speculation about whether Denmark would fight the US over Greenland. This misses the point that the biggest opposition to a US invasion will clearly come from the Greenlanders themselves. Is the U.S. willing to repeat Wounded Knee to get the locals under control?

1/ Vladimir Putin's heavy investment in the regime of Venezuelan former President Nicolás Maduro has been a costly and disastrous failure, according to Russian commentators. They admit that Russia is too weak to stop its allies from being picked off one by one by the West. ⬇️
