Only now that the war in Gaza is over, we wake up to the fact that the worst humanitarian catastrophe of the century is taking place in Sudan. Warring parties, both Arab, are supported by foreign actors who we don't pressure because we have chosen to ignore this.
Did you know, and if not, why not?

Werkelijk? "de politie kwam ter plaatse maar de drones waren verdwenen"

Musk is going to purge out the propaganda that his own AI produces. Which he cannot alter because that creates "brain rot".

I'm saddened that I had to end my decades of @washingtonpost.com membership. It used to be a fantastic newspaper that I proudly supported.
But firing @karenattiah.bsky.social goes WAY over my red lines. And I do enforce these.
To add insult to injury they sent me this

Russia has that many casualties in 2 months.
Britain will have trouble sustaining 10,000 personnel in Ukraine.
