My Trade Secrets today. Imagine the US in 1957 had seen the Sputnik satellite overhead & said "Nah, we'll leave space to the Soviets".

Thanks to climate change denial, mindless prejudice and trade protectionism, that's just what it's doing now with China & green tech, esp EVs and batteries. 1/2
The US is failing its green tech ‘Sputnik moment’

Reine Willkür und ein großer Schritt Richtung Diktatur. Früher hätte es Solidaritätsdemos an deutschen Unis gegeben. Auch die Alumni von Harvard könnten weltweit von sich hören lassen.

Wir füttern massenweise Bullshit in riesige Bullshit-Bestätigungsmaschinen und wundern uns dann, wenn niemand mehr Bullshit als Bullshit erkennt.
Das Internet hat uns nicht geeint, sondern gespalten. Künstliche Intelligenz wird uns, fürchte ich, nicht klüger machen, sondern dümmer.

„Wandel durch Handel“ worked out in the end, just not the way it was originally intended…
The Russians "have spent the past decade building a cult of cruelty at home. Now they have exported that cult not just to Europe, not just to Africa, but to Washington too"

Ich sag’ es mal so: Es gibt Fotos, auf denen der Tatverdächtige von Mannheim gemeinsam mit Abgeordneten der AfD bei rechten Aufmärschen zu sehen ist. Der Weg von rechtem Terror zur AfD ist zufälligerweise nie weit. Aber weil der Täter kein Ausländer war, gibt es leider keine Debatte.

Finally, one area where Trump’s declared intent to be a ‘unifier and peacemaker’ has fully worked out: he’s achieved the impossible and united arch-rivals Merz & Merkel — in their utter contempt for him.
Not yet being Chancellor seems to be giving Merz the space to say some things aloud that Starmer or Macron are not saying in public - here the assumption that the Zelensky meeting in Washington was a 'deliberate escalation', implying that it was preplanned:
"Herbeigeführte Eskalation"

Der voraussichtlich nächste deutsche Bundeskanzler, CDU-Chef Friedrich Merz, hält die Eskalation im Oval Office nicht für spontan.

Müssen "sehr, sehr viel mehr" für unsere eigene Sicherheit tun.

Wear what Zelenskyy wore to the White House. Trump would be apoplectic.

“Very efficient” 🤣
President Musk, here are a few things I did last week. I encourage everyone else working tirelessly to keep the country afloat during these chaotic times to email their updates to hr@opm.gov as well. I’m sure they’d appreciate hearing from as many of you as possible!

Ukraine now has
1. Europe’s most experienced military;
2. a +++innovative defense sector that knows how to produce more for less;
3. a political class with the guts to stand up to Putinism & Trumpism, even simultaneously, and prevail.
A headless EU looking for direction needs to look no further.
If anything is clear from the last few days, it's surely that Ukraine belongs in the EU

"Ich musste sehr dafür sorgen, dass die Berichterstattung nicht zu Dan-Brown-mäßig wird," sagt Dirk Schultze, einer der Entdecker einer mittelalterlichen Handschrift an der @stabiberlin.bsky.social. Doch die Geschichte hinter diesem Manuskript ist fast genauso spannend wie der "Da Vinci Code":
Der Mönch und die Handschrift
Von dem Benediktinermönch Ranulf Higden (ca. 1280-1364) aus Chester ist nicht viel überliefert. Dabei war er einer der bekanntesten englischen Gelehrten des Spätmittelalters und Verfasser einer umfang...

The CDU chief, for all practical purposes, proclaiming NATO dead on live TV… hardly leaves them any room for untenable positions anyway. Hard to be a foreign policy enfant terrible when reality itself becomes a terrible enfant.
The Left also seems to slowly release itself from the shackles of untenable ideas on foreign policy. This might change everything in the future.
