Die härtesten Tage des Winters beginnen in der Ukraine: Ab Freitag gehen die Temperaturen hierzulande dauerhaft unter -10 Grad. Große Herausforderung für Energieinfrastruktur unter russischem Beschuss. Die Lage etwa in Dnipro ist schon kritisch. Selbst Krankenhäuser zu versorgen ist ein Problem.

ChatGPT's growth plateaued and appears to have started to collapse, this chart is kinda hard to read so it's hard to tell if it's down 22% week over week, or whether on a three month basis traffic is down. Either way, this is not good

These freaks want territorial expansion and they know Trump will do everything he can to deliver.

This isn’t just a tweet from some random asshole either. This is Stephen Miller’s wife. Miller was in the room with Trump during the kidnapping of Maduro.
