La Garde in concert with heads of central banks in the EU and Pierrakakis should design a mechanism for ECB /EU Member States (perhaps ex Hungary / Slovakia) to simultaneously dump US Bonds. (Invite Bailey / Starmer). Trump only recognises brute strength/ability to punch back

The works of Plato are now being banned at schools in the United States.

Tell me again how censorship is a European problem? 🤔

Further videos of the killing of Renee Good in Minnesota have emerged. The incident is plainly and demonstrably a culpable homocide. The current administration’s propaganda campaign, in the face of the patent evidence, is gross. The seizing of jurisdiction by the FBI is disturbing.

Absolute gibberish spoken by Kristi Noem in respect of the patently, and it must be stressed PATENTLY, illegal killing of Renee Good.

Landman. Every scene with Billy Bob is good. Everything else is bafflingly terrible.

The United States has quietly lifted sanctions on several firms previously accused of supplying russia’s military.

The changes were posted on the U.S. Department of the Treasury website on December 18 — without any public explanation or accompanying statement.

Anatomy of a Cancellation on BBC Sounds is certainly worth a listen. An anatomy of a particularly febrile period in the recent past. The moral indignation and righteous censoriousness of the sharp edge of progressiveness, online mobbing, et al. Fascinating.

In re AI, it seems to me four things are true:
1) LLM AI is being and will continue to be utterly transformative.
2) Current AI valuations are a total bubble. The market correction is going to hurt.
3) AGI / Singularity remains a pipedream.

Buck Rogers (Gil Gerard) has died today. Loved that programme as a kid. Quite the crush on Wilma in her very tight white flight suit.

We need more of Kallas in the Ukrainian negotiations. Mertz, Macron, Starmer, Stubb and Tusk are all doing well but Europe’s (Ukrainian’s) position would be advantaged in bringing the economic power of the EU more centre stage.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Could someone please tell Belgium to cop on and get out of the way of transfer of funds to Ukraine. I presume Belgium demand underwriting from their EU partners. Give it. Get it done Ursula, for goodness’ sake.

‘Cultivate resistance’: policy paper from current US administration: So the bones of this cunning plan are 1) interfere with European domestic politics to promote AfD and their ilk 2) bully the EU on trade, while, all at the same time, 3) withdraw from / undermine NATO…Genius.

Trump is just going to walk away saying “job done” …with a low level civil war erupting in the rubble, no UN mandate, no stabilising force, no credible government, no $50 billion to rebuild; this is a mere pause in forever war. IDF will have a rest and shall be back.

Thank God Europe won that. After all of that discourteous and abusive behaviour it would have been miserable to not close the deal.
