🔥 Why does Russia keep citing these non-existent “Alaska agreements”?
Is the Kremlin delusional?
👉 Or is Moscow signaling that Trump, in Alaska, agreed to divide Ukraine 🇺🇦, and now is reminding Washington to force territorial concessions?

Facebook, as site made so that Mark could goon on the women in his University, suddenly cares about PII?
NEW: Instagram, Threads, and Facebook are blocking links to ICE List, which lists thousands of what it says are DHS employees; a Meta spokesperson claims it's because the site violated a policy about soliciting PII. @davidgilbert.bsky.social has the scoop:
Meta Is Blocking Users From Sharing Website Listing ICE Agents
Users of Facebook, Instagram, and Threads can no longer share links to ICE List, a website listing what it claims are the names of thousands of DHS employees.

Onze overheid in Amerikaanse handen? Slecht idee! Zeker met Trump in het Witte Huis willen we geen onderdeel zijn van geopolitieke spelletjes.
Dus: andere keuzes maken! Het geld dat we nu aan Microsoft geven, kan ook naar Nederlandse en Europese bedrijven.

Geen mens had voor WO II gedacht dat het persoonsbewijs -een Nederlandse uitvinding- een paar jaar later heel handig van pas kwam bij het opruimen van Joodse Nederlanders.
De voorgenomen overname van DigiD door een Amerikaans bedrijf zorgt voor ophef in de Tweede Kamer én daarbuiten. De angst is dat onze privacygevoelige gegevens in Amerikaanse handen komen. Hoe afhankelijk zijn we van DigiD? Kamerlid voor GL-PvdA Barbara Kathmann legt uit:

I assume he's wearing a single glove to cover up the massive bruise all over his left hand?
Q: Do you agree with the assessment from some of your own officials that Alex Pretti is a domestic terrorist or assassin?
TRUMP: Well, I haven't heard that, but he certainly shouldn't have been carrying a gun. I don't like that he had a gun.

De omstreden Amerikaanse immigratiedienst ICE zal aanwezig zijn tijdens de Olympische Winterspelen in Milaan. Onder Italiaans gezag ondersteunt ICE een beveiligingsdienst van het Amerikaanse ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken. De komst van de dienst leidt tot stevige kritiek. Dit is een militie die doodt.

Why is "bitch" a problem whilst "dick" isn't? Or the "c-word" which is analogous in the English speaking world but which causes American speakers to react as if you're summoning the devil.
a few people have called me out for using the word because it's female-coded, but i've reclaimed it to lob at small men who make the world worse. and i feel fine about it.
My personal policy of "never call a human 'bitch' no matter how nasty they are" has a giant exception for individuals designated as such by @marisakabas.bsky.social

It completely dominated PC FPS on release including Counter Strike and Half Life 2. It turned me from a PC FPS player to a console FPS player.

I think it's interesting that just hours ahead of @theverge.com reporting that OpenAI's president has donated $25 million to Trump that Katie Miller was over on Twitter falsely trying to clam that actually, the AI companies are biased against conservatives (the opposite of reality).

Russian warships begin escorting their illegal oil tankers, a clear escalation.
My take is simple;
Take the tankers anyway. Ignore the Russian ships, and force the Russians to possibly shoot first. If the Russians shoot, their ships are sunk.
Gloves off.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

We have it here in The Netherlands, it's called "erfpacht". From my time working at the Cadaster here in NL, in the vast majority of cases the land was owned by the state/council. It's not very common for private entities to do it though AFAIK.
Ground rent cap is good news (though peppercorn would be better straight away). Also welcome is promised abolition of new leasehold properties. Better still would be the outright abolition of leasehold altogether, a feudal anachronism virtually unique to England and Wales.
