Since we’re talking about this again, it is worth noting that Nobel Peace Prize re-gifter Maria Corina Machado addressed a summit last year bringing together European far-right leaders like Viktor Orbán, Marine LePen, Geert Wilders et al, as well as Argentina’s Javier Milei

thread about X’s new TOS. tldr is musk can now sue users for any reason in a TX court he basically owns, so he’ll almost certainly win. and this is a platform politicians and journalists largely refuse to leave.
Conservative influencer Ashley St Clair had a baby with Elon Musk in 2024. Things turned sour when she expressed mild support of trans rights. Elon cut child support and sued for custody; his followers made deepfake porn of her on X; she sued X; now X is suing HER!

open.substack.com/pub/rorycell... Things have moved on rapidly since I published this on Wednesday warning that the UK health sector’s dependence on US tech could leave us vulnerable if we fell out with Trump over Greenland. In today’s Observer @jjn1.bsky.social quotes me and Quentin S-F
Can UK Health Trust US Tech?
A remarkable article by a Cambridge-based computer scientist Quentin Stafford-Fraser has set all sorts of alarm bells ringing for me.

Trump’s message to politically active mothers: Stay home, or your children will suffer the consequences | Opinion
But where the regime has sought to instill fear, they have instead inspired righteous fury. After all, hope is a mother.

Norwegian PM Støre says Trump repeatedly raises—complains about, pleads for, and demands—the Nobel Peace Prize every time they meet. Støre gives same answer each time: decision is made independently by Norwegian Nobel Committee, with no role for Norwegian gov—a concept Trump appears unable to grasp.

In September 1907, Newfoundland was granted Dominion Status and became the Dominion of Newfoundland.
For the next three decades, the island had Prime Ministers, rather than premiers.

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.
This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

Miller asserts that Denmark can’t defend Greenland.
Yeah, genius, that’s why they’re a member of an alliance pledged to defend each other. One we founded and led, which has worked to deter aggression for over 75 years.
