Putin’s claims that Russia's “winning” in Ukraine is a lie, retired US Gen. Keane says in a NYP op‑ed

Russia loses 1,000 troops a day, faces 16.5% inflation, and boosts propaganda spending by 54% to hide failure.

NYP: Russia tells the world it’s winning — actual military performance paints a different picture
While Putin talks victory, Russia’s forces are stuck fighting for fields at unsustainable losses and can't break Ukrainian defenses.

After three years of reasoning, pleading and conceding, the EU has had enough.

On Monday, the bloc’s 27 member countries are expected to back a new bill that will permanently cut Russian gas supplies to Hungary and Slovakia — whether they like it or not.

I sidste uge skrev Peter Hummelgaard i Altinget, at det er en falsk fortælling om #chatkontrol forslaget, at regeringen vil overvåge private beskeder. Kritikken var underlødig, og så videre i Hummelgaards værste stil.

Jeg har hjulpet teamet bag historien med at bygge en søge- og visualiseringsmaskine, da datamængderne, selv i “smagsprøven” var for store til at analysere i simple værktøjer som Excel.

Alle bør læse Garrett Graffs indlæg om det amerikanske demokratis dødskurs i retning af fascisme. En central pointe er, at der sjældent findes én definerende begivenhed, som markerer skiftet. Det foregår ved en gradvis afvikling af frihedsrettigheder, og USA er nået fortvivlende langt i processen.
"The United States, just months before its 250th birthday as the world’s leading democracy, has tipped over the edge into authoritarianism and fascism. In the end, faster than I imagined possible, it did happen here."

I've seen people say things like "our troops weren't designed to be used on US!!!" and look, I totally understand, I agree in some ways, but I really, really hope that if you feel that way you spend time thinking about the fact that there's no such thing as a weapon that can't be pointed at you.

The robotaxi has amazing comic timing.
“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.”
