Great point from Andreas Mundt of Bundeskartellamt: the key to Europe‘s growth will be entrepreneurial freedom. We need a growth agenda. @bruxconf2025.bsky.social

Now I keep getting more bot followers on Twitter. Maybe my declining engagement there is triggering something.

I‘ve now surged up to 10 followers within weeks of joining BlueSky. Must be bots.

I guess I never realized that Europe & NATO have a direct land/river border with Russia. Seeing it today in the Estonian border town of Narva was really powerful. Amazing to see the NATO flag flying too. The fortress in the background was on the Russian side.

As Sarah Palin would say, you can see Russia from here. At the river-meets-the-sea border between Estonia and Russia.

Really impressed by the Estonian Founders Society and their Defense Tech meetup tonight in Tallinn. Packed house and amazing learnings straight from the Ukranian front lines. This is tech innovation with a purpose. Don’t count Europe out yet.

Finally got off the hellscape site. Nice to clean the palate. Hoping to interact with some humans over here.

Wishing a good one to all those who observe it.
