I think selling EA to the Saudies is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things - especially compared to the TikTok shenanigans. Gaming is so much more diverse than any other media industry. As long as Steam stays independent. I can not overstate how hard I pray for Gabens health.

I love Marc Galeotti & his harsh reality checks: sure, Western ground troops, meaningful, credible & sustainable, I don’t see that. But denying the effect of AirOps just based on economics (drones vs missile cost) is not convincing. As Ukraine evolved, NATO would also evolve once it’s focused

True. This is so comically bad.

It was all shitposting. His discord posts, the writing on his ammunition... shitposting was his only mode for interacting with the world.
It's very likely that the murder itself had no ideological basis, but was just an act of offline shitposting.

Erm, what? The paradigm of total security is getting out of hand. Countries have to live with risk, this is also true for Israel. Bombing another country cause you feel like it. The precedent…

The surveillance state is already here. This is the most terrifying thing I watched in a while. The amount of data Walmart and other companies harvest in the real world legally is insane. Maybe I need to revisit my judgment of the GDPR.

So the story was we (the EU) suck at security and defense but economically we are a super power. EU awesome! So why tf are we cowering before an aspiring dictator? We really think this will go down well with China and Russia. It’s not only embarrassing, it’s a strategic catastrophe. Fuck the EU

We should all just stop talking about this, he is producing a politics soap opera and tariffs are a running gag, they never happen. And the first part of this post isn’t a joke. This is exactly what he is doing and again the media is helpless and plays his game.

Americans just can’t fathom a war of necessity, because all their wars since the revolution were wars of choice. They don’t understand that it’s not a political cabal that is behind the war, it’s a fight for survival. That’s why they think getting rid of Zelensky would change something. That’s why

PSA: I want to check immediately in the morning what bs Trump spewed since I went to bed & which of his spineless sock puppets did the best Baghdad Bob impression, cheering him on, explaining why this is sane and normal, even genius! But I will feel much better if I don’t do it! Moderation people!

Ah yes, the usual suspects: speak loudly and carry a small stick. Same bunch who feared „eSaLatION!!1!“ for three years and look how well that went. If you are not investing in EU bc you are planning a genocidal war, I think that should be fine. It’s clear by now we don’t seize assets willy nilly
EU discusses seizing €200 billion worth of Russian assets after ruling out peace talks, Politico reports.
France, Germany, Italy, Spain and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen are against the seizure, fearing it would unsettle international investors and lose leverage in

Speedrunning The Rise and Fall of the American Empire. Spending all the political capital the US accrued over 70 years in months and bragging about it.
🇺🇸 White House press secretary Leavitt:
"Trump’s meetings with Putin and Zelensky will happen very soon, especially with Zelensky. He wants to finalize a rare earth deal quickly and expects Zelensky to sign it. Ukraine wouldn’t exist as a country without us!"

I am afraid it was cowardice and incompetence. Just a very small man. Probably a good secretary, but that he ended up as chancellor shows how drained the political parties in Germany are in terms of talent.
Sent Olaf Scholz link for an open application with Gazprom.
Least I can do for all the escalation management.

It is certainly more convincing than most other frameworks to understand wtf is going on. We are screwed
I have long held the belief that World War III started around 2012-13 and has been fought in the information space. It's a hybrid war.
In 2021, one of my first TikToks was a warning that if the West and the United States didn't start fighting back, there would be nothing to fight for.

Fortunately, Olaf Scholz was chancellor! The strategy of always de-escalating and involving the Americans was exactly right. You can't imagine what would have happened if we had ramped up production and taken a leading role! (Ralf Stegner probably)

Europe needs nukes now, Poland, the Baltics and whoever else understands the threat and should team get them now. Whoever thinks the traitors in the US are going to protect us from nuclear blackmail is a fool. I’m afraid my country Germany will do everything to block it, but we need them.

Tyrannical Orange would have been even funnier. I wish politicians would just start to call him what he is: an imbecile narcissist enabled by grifters and cowards.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s top legal adviser once branded Donald Trump an “orange tyrant,” in the latest awkward comments to be unearthed from Britain’s Labour government.

Richard Hermer said the U.S. president was an “autocratic populist” in the latest uncomfortable comments by British ministers.

Fascinating take on Musk by someone knowing him personally. Power corrupts. You don’t need a fb account to read it. Do it, it’s worth it
A must-read. This’d be worth creating a Facebook account just to read—and I know what a claim that is to make.
It’s a bracing essay about Elon Musk by someone very close to him.
(This is very much _not_ about me, of course, but I’ll say that if you ever doubted my writing on Musk, this will help.)

I have known Elon Musk at a deep level for 14 years, well before he was a household name. We used to text frequently. He would come to my birthday party and invite me to his parties. He would tell me....
