Exactly
Maybe “move fast, break stuff” is a terrible way to actually accomplish anything.

Is this the kernel of the problem? Is it the unwillingness to acknowledge that Europe is a legitimate world actor. At this point, it's a hang-up
And is that reflex rejection what is actually stopping the UK moving towards Europe?
The history is interesting.

Soll es Kindern oder abgestellten Autos besser gehen?
Sollen Eltern sorgenfreier leben oder weiter Angst um ihre Kinder haben, wenn diese zu Fuß oder mit dem Rad mobil in der Stadt unterwegs sein wollen?
Haben wir eine kindgerechte Vision der Zukunft, oder wollen wir Erwachsenen es nur bequem haben?

Der Mythos "Cancel Culture" ist nur dazu da, dass es unmöglich wird, demokratiefeindliche Argumente und Lügen zu kritisieren. "Cancel Culture"-Vorwürfe sind eine autoritäre Methode, um jede Kritik zu canceln. Kritik soll verboten werden, damit Unsagbares ohne Widerspruch sagbar werden kann.

Meredith has always been a G, but it's still exceptionally weird and very refreshing hearing from a tech exec who can see through all of this AI bullshit for what it is at its foundation: a backdoor surveillance tool.
Worth a watch:
Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

I sure I‘m not the first to notice this, but doesn‘t Director Krennic sound remarkably like Nigel
Farage? I’m probably projecting (and apologies to the brilliant Ben Mendelsohn).

‘Never mind’ is used as a conjunction to mean "let alone" and, imperatively, to suggest disregard.
-“Never mind him.”
‘Nevermind’ is a noun meaning "concern.”
-"Pay him no nevermind."
‘Never mind’ is currently more common as two words.

Another big takeaway is we’re all paying the price for anti-woke hysteria. This will be the first recession that can be traced back to people freaking out about pronouns
Since tariffs, I noticed a surprising trend: elite Trump supporters saying they might have made a mistake. So I asked them what they were thinking, both in November and today.
One big takeaway: they thought Elon was actually competent. That error proved catastrophic.

Some elite Trump supporters are having regrets. We asked them why.
After the tariffs, they’re worried they made a MAGA mistake.

Her possessions confiscated, she’s being held in a cell with limited access to the outside world and no idea when she will be allowed to return home.
