I don’t agree with everything @soozuk.bsky.social says — actually I disagree with a good amount.
But I do agree that Wes Streeting is exactly what’s wrong with today’s Labour Party. Between him and Georgia Gould I resigned my membership.

Russia is feeling the pinch -- caught between wartime expenditure and the inevitable impact of Starlink on any overseas sales.
The USSR would have announced their own LEO constellation -- and might have tried to actually launch one. Russia might have to go Chinese.

”AI” is a statistical model. It’s useful, but not emotional. Understanding the benefits and limitations isn’t always straightforward. That’s why I took Speech 125 — Critical Thinking. Accept nothing that you don’t question first.

This is collusion and corruption at the highest levels. Did no one pay attention to Ike?
US pushes nations facing tariffs to approve Musk’s Starlink. Wow the corruption. An internal State Department memo lays it bare:“As the government of Lesotho negotiates a trade deal with the United States, it hopes that licensing Starlink demonstrates goodwill and intent to welcome U.S. businesses.”
