elon is faking it in terms of liking ai for the record
before he went nuts he used to often warn about the dangers of ai, he even used to call for global regulations on ai
now, like on almost everything, he's flipped in order to pursue corruption with the republicans

Desynchronising our energy grid from Russia has begun.
We have thoroughly prepared for this. There are sufficient controllable capacity and external connections in the Baltic States to ensure a smooth transition.
Tomorrow we will join the Continental European frequency band.

DOGE and musk don't have the authority they claim to have here.
as bluntly put and as uncomfortable it might be for fence-sitters - this is ILLEGAL and deserving of nothing less than complete and TOTAL legal prosecution and punishment come 2029.

We need to figure out who's on these DOGE teams. Start taking pictures and making them public. Document what they're doing. Create a paper trail that forces them to slow down. Anything to throw some sand in the gears and make them nervous about future jail time

i feel like partyball - a kind of mix of polandball and polcompball - would be a decent concept for internet comics if there was an audience for it (something like election twitter would probably fit in that box but it's also the demographic to not do either polandball or polcompball actively)

so #1 this will definitely lead to a spike in coffee-related prices
#2 who are "allies and supporters"? the US has designated colombia as a major non-NATO ally
#3 i'm very curious how this will impact the US-backed fight against FARC dissident guerillas, especially as the US suspended foreign aid

After President Petro of Colombia denied entry of two US repatriation flights of Colombian migrants, President Trump has announced these retaliatory measures.
Petro said he wouldn’t allow the flights in until Trump establishes a protocol for the dignified treatment of migrants.

Trump might spend every last bit of political capital trying in vain to undo his 2020 defeat.
He pardoned the J6ers out of weakness — his loss remains a massive ego blow and this was the only thing he could do about it.

Trump says he's open to meeting J6 criminals he pardoned, including some who beat cops: "What they did is they were protesting a crooked election. People understand that also. And they were treated very badly."

Trump always talks about Finland and how they don’t get the forest fires California gets because they manage their forests better.
It’s true that Finland excels in forest management… but there’s one big difference: FINLAND GETS MUCH MORE RAIN.
