WTF is this, super incel Bezos?
After Volodymyr Zelensky gambled on a confrontational strategy with President Donald Trump and wound up at the center of an explosive Oval Office meeting, the Ukrainian president is scrambling to restore ties with Washington as the White House ramps up pressure for an end to the war with Russia.
As Trump flip-flops on Ukraine, Zelensky rushes to fix ties
The heated White House argument and the cuts in military and intelligence aid make this one of the most perilous moments in Zelensky’s presidency.

Excellent NYT interview with the outgoing U.S. ambassador to Hungary. This is a key insight!

We need a federal data privacy law now.

Or we’ll continue down the road of a piecemeal strategy of banning popular foreign apps, while the US data broker industry continues to monetize the data of all Americans, mostly without our consent or notice. #AIBillofRights
I’m concerned that Americans are flocking to a number of adversary-owned social media platforms. We still need a comprehensive and risk-based approach to assessing and mitigating the risks of foreign-owned apps.

Someone called this mass exodus from Twitter ‘the fall of the Broman Empire’ and I died laughing. 💀

One thing to ponder after Leon destroyed Twitter: We were able to observe how someone with ridiculously vast funds shaped a virtual space according to their own whim. This was a microcosm of how influential rich people do this in real societies, bending our public spaces to their whim.

@iandunt.bsky.social It’s annoying when misguided people quote comics. I mean Mega-City is probably the future Leon would lead us into.

So Mika and Joe say going to Mar-a-lago was them “just doing their jobs.” Hmm, sounds familiar, can’t quite put my finger on it.

@iandunt.bsky.social Are you reading any of the new Absolute DC comics?

On twitter, we were like the frog in the slowly heated-up water, adjusting to right-wing biased algorithms and Musk man’s ego soothing. Only upon changing, do I notice how bad it had become.
