Trumpism has declared war on the European Union. It's time for a united front of the world's democracies against the three plutofascisms of Putinism, Xiism and Trumpism. (More on these plutofascisms in the next Uplink, due January 10).

Disgusting. Muscovy is an empire of terrorism and its flag stands for mass murder. It's time for a wholesale boycott of the IOC. #SlavaUkraïni
IOC approves Russian and Belarusian youth athletes to compete under national flags at international events, including the 2026 Youth Olympic Games.
In the meantime, Russia continues bombing Ukraine and killing civilians.
Sports is not above geopolitics or human suffering.

Mad respect for the people of Ukraine. They outlasted the Romanov empire in 1917, defeated Hitler in 1945, survived Stalin in 1953, dynamited the Soviet empire in 1991, took down Muscovy's pet oligarch in 2014, and are now in the process of defeating Putinism *and* Trumpism. #SlavaUkraïni

Trumpism has declared war on the world's 34 remaining core (i.e. self-financing and fully industrialized) polities. In response, the 34 core polities must build a United Federation of the world's democracies -- more on this in the next Uplink, due December 10.
The Trump administration released its latest National Security Strategy--and one thing that can be said is that there is no more pretending. It’s a plan to weaken European unity, to make Europe MAGA, to force Europe to take economic dictation by the USA…. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Canada has become the 20th member of the EU's anti-despotism fund, a geopolitical shift as significant as Portugal's exit from the Hapsburg hegemon in 1640.
Canada has officially joined the EU’s €150 billion SAFE defense procurement program, the first non-EU country to do so. The agreement allows Canadian firms to participate in EU-financed defense projects. Fifteen EU members have included Ukraine support in their spending plans under SAFE.

Ponder this geopolitical riddle: every single Far Right movement in the EU has screamed for decades about an invasion by a murderous foreign horde. But they are deathly silent about the *real* murderous horde murdering Europeans since 2014: the Muscovites bombing Ukraine every single day.

Folks often ask me why I study and write obsessively about videogames. The long answer is the dissertation I wrote back in 2012. The short answer: Zohran Mamdani is when Max Payne runs for mayor.

Apparently, Sarah Kendzior's Bluesky account has been suspended for no reason whatsoever. She is one of the best and most insightful critics of the US plutocracy around. This really needs to be fixed, pronto.

Plutofascism has decided to starve 42 million US citizens to death. It's time for the "No Kings" protests to become the "Food for All" uprising.
UPDATE: Justice Jackson temporarily blocks SNAP benefits order to allow appeals court to rule.
DOJ asked SCOTUS for a stay as USDA was in the middle of completing its process for making full payments. Jackson's order came a little past 9 p.m.

Every democratic society on the planet needs to move their political messaging and journalism away from Failon Husk's hellsite and onto Bluesky. Billionaires should not control our newsfeeds.
Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

No. The videogame market in 2005 consisted of 500 million consumers in the core polities (US, EU, Japan) and 500 million consumers everywhere else. Today, it's 1 billion consumers in the core and 4 billion everywhere else. Games should cost a maximum of $40, not $80.
AAA video games should cost $100 on launch. this would still be extremely cheap for the amount of time and enjoyment you get out of them! But an audience of whiny babies has kept them literally at the same price for *two decades* despite both general inflation *and* sector-specific costs rising

Muscovy's orc horde is cracking. If those Flamingos arrive in volume, the Muscovite empire will implode sometime between autumn 2025 and spring 2026. If the Pink Bird of Mordor's Doom is delayed, then fall 2026. #SlavaUkraïni
Our research, based on tens of thousands of personal records, shows that desertion rates in the Russian army have doubled in 2025 compared with 2024. If the trend continues, we estimate at least 70,000 deserters this year - roughly 10% of the entire force deployed in Ukraine:
