Every day, ships leave this russian owned factory in Ireland straight for St Petersburg carrying thousands of tonnes of raw alumina for the war machine.

There’s corruption everywhere. Locals tell me politicians are bought by oligarchs.

Ireland is no longer militarily neutral.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

For weeks, Irish politicians have dodged questions about the refinery in Ireland supplying Russia’s war machine.

So I tracked down government minister Niall Collins at a farming show.

He refuses to back sanctions & his stance was worse than I expected.

Avoidance.

Warning: GenAI-induced cognitive surrender may kill innovation.

Consider the following, from CEO @wadhwa’s newsletter:

“I have been speaking with recent graduates in India, many of them highly recommended, and on paper they look exceptional. The emails are polished, the resumes are perfect, the proposals are structured and articulate. To filter for real thinking, I even created a job description that required candidates to answer a series of questions before I would interview them, and I explicitly told them not to use AI.
Of course, almost everything I am getting back is AI slop.

The moment you get into a real conversation, it becomes obvious. They cannot explain what they wrote, cannot walk through their reasoning, and fall back on vague generalities when pushed. After seeing this repeatedly, I have come to a difficult conclusion: AI has already done real damage. It has taken people from a weak education system and given them a powerful crutch, and instead of using it to improve their thinking, many are using it to avoid thinking altogether.

And before my American friends think they are any better, they should know it is no different here.”

Peruskoulun tilanne on viimein valjennut poliitikoille, ja uudistusvaateet ovat kovat. Se on erinomaista, sillä jotakin on viimein pakko tehdä, mutta tietämättömien into johtaa helposti ylilyönteihin.

Tässä ketjussa muutama toiveeni:

@JPerovuo Kuopio siirtyi näköjään Turun Nappulaliigan malliin. Siellä kaupunginosajoukkueiden välisissä peleissä pelataan 7-vuotiaista asti ”parhailla” ja ”huonommat” pelaavat hajavaihtoja pelien ratkettua.

“On the night of March 18, 2022, we were freezing in the basement. Around 4:30am, we went back into the house to warm up.

As the russians started shelling again, we scrambled back to the basement, hearts pounding.

My daughters, my ex-wife, and my mother went ahead. My son was standing in the doorway, and I was the last to step out.
Then a shell exploded.

I ran up to them. My twin daughters were dead. My ex-wife was torn apart by shrapnel, but she was still moving. I started calling the neighbors for help. Soon after, Alevtyna died as well…” said Serhii, Olha’s father.

Serhii dug graves near his home and buried them himself.

Peak EU absurdity.

We are preparing to repair a pipeline Russia itself bombed - to restart the flow of Russian oil we claim to be phasing out - for Hungary, which is blocking €90bn for Ukraine that we’re funding - sans Hungary.

If this is not paid from frozen Russian assets - which it should be, morally and legally -, this move is beyond delusional. We’re subsidising the aggressor instead of making them pay for their own destruction.

That’s clinical-grade masochism - collaboration in our own economic suicide and Ukraine's strangulation.

💔 The last hours of peaceful life in Mariupol.

Soon after, Russia would begin pounding the city with everything it had.

Do you remember that very night -- the night before the day of all days, four years ago?

How many of us didn’t sleep at all.

We sat in the dark in silence, in front of our laptops, refreshing news feeds.

Here was Blinken saying the invasion was inevitable within the next few hours. Here was Zelensky speaking in the middle of the night in Russian, pleading with all Russians to come to their senses at the last moment and not take a fatal step.

Here was the news that the runways of Ukraine’s largest airports had been blocked with overturned vehicles.

We sat with Flighradar24 open. Here at 1 a.m., over northern and eastern Ukraine, an American drone was making multiple circles, monitoring the massive Russian grouping on our border from Belarus to Crimea.

A plane seemed to have taken off, evacuating Turkish diplomats. They must have been among the last ones... Russia had closed all airspace along its entire border with Ukraine later on.

In journalists’ chats, hundreds of colleagues just as sleepless. “Guys, be ready… it seems like today.”

But hope, of course, died last.

Maybe today it would pass. Maybe it was still a bluff and blackmail, because that would be logical. They couldn’t possibly go through with such madness. It would be a catastrophe of biblical proportions and a bloody slaughter in which it would be impossible to win. They couldn’t fail to understand that.

And then -- “live” on Russian TV (in reality, of course, everything had been recorded well in advance as part of a pre-invasion propaganda performance) -- Putin’s face, distorted with sadistic hatred and a smirk of gloating, announcing the “special military operation.”

What is there to say, four years have passed since that night.

If someone had told me then that four years later independent Ukraine would be at the forefront of the entire free world,
fighting alone on equal terms against the full military power of Russia,
with the Ukrainian flag over every regional capital that was free from occupation that night,
with Ukrainian-made drones and cruise missiles that smash Russian oil refineries, airfields, and giant military factories every single night
— I would never, ever have believed it.

And yet, through unparalleled heroism and enormous sacrifice, fighting Ukraine has changed the course of history.

She disproved all the arrogant skeptics who were burying her alive back then and giving her no chance, already ready to run and “negotiate” with yet another deranged maniac hungry for blood and territorial grabs.

Glory to Ukraine!

679 Ukrainian girls and boys will never be able to play football — Russia killed them.

And it keeps killing more while moral degenerates suggest lifting bans, despite Russia’s failure to end its war.

Future generations will view this as a shame reminiscent of the 1936 Olympics.

@SarasvuoJari Näyttää siltä, että heittivät ainakin Kurdit bussin alle ja islamistien käsiin Syyriassa - kiitoksena isiksen kukistamisesta.

Al-holin vankien vapauttamisen seurauksista pääsemme piakkoin nauttimaan Euroopassakin.

@YleKankkonen Onko tämä hyökkäys kurdialueille Turkin masinoimaa vai Syyrian hallinnon vallanhalua? Mikä johtanut SDF:n nopeisiin tappioihin?

@filsdeproust Eu:n pohjille uusi liitto. Unkari ja Slovakia ulos, UK ja Kanada sisään. Määräenemmistöpäätökset, nopeat investoinnit tekoälyyn, it-infraan ym, jotta päästään US riippuvuudesta irti asap.
