The girl who was killed by russian glide bomb in Kharkiv today came to the city for her university graduation.
A graduation robe lies next to her body...

@RichDecibels Yeah let's trim back these awful unruly curved shapes that don't fit my modernist predictive processing schemas and 3D spatialising structure of consciousness. Let's destroy everything that does not satisfy our model's coherence requirements
One of the stupidest things a nation has ever done
As some of you might know, and some might not, the Netherlands sits on one of the largest natural gas fields in the world in the northern part of the country. It provided the country with a stable secure energy supply for decades since its discovery in the 1950s, while we also exported a lot to pay for an extensive social security system
The problem with this field was, that extracting the gas caused some minor earthquakes, nothing too serious, but that argument was used by climate-radicals, green left wing lunatics, activist judges and dumb politicians, to shut down that field after some complaints by the local population. Even worse, the government actually started pouring concrete in the wells and actively destroying the gas- installations
As a result, energy-prices are much higher, the entire Dutch powergrid is overloaded since in cloudy the Netherlands wind & sun are not reliable enough, and entire city-centers are broken up to build something called ¨heat-nets¨, some kind of soviet idea to redistribute heat
Now with the recent wars, the country and EU are wondering....¨where do we get our gas now that we are cut off from Russia....Qatar´s gas installations are damaged, and the USA under trump is not that reliable¨.
Can you imagine?
- As a nation, you are sitting on a massive gasfield with 100s of billions of $ still of natural gas, easily extractable with all infrastructure intact
- You can run your whole country on that field for like another 30 years and export to the EU in existing gas-pipes
- With exports you can build a Norway-like sovereign wealth fund that can last generations if well invested
- The government can pay people affected by the earthquakes huge compensation, make them all rich, or build them all stronger homes. I mean, countless people live well in areas with minor earthquakes all over the world
- On top there are scientists that say that the earthquakes can be diminished by injecting other liquids into the field
- And all the infrastructure for it is build, literally every Dutch home has a gas connection
- Meanwhile many nations are expanding their natural gas usage and production, so it is not as if using this field or not will make a difference in the whole climate-story, however it would make the difference for the Netherlands between being energy-poor or energy-rich, an unstable or stable electricity-supply, and with a well invested sovereign wealth fund, trillions of $ for future generations.
But what does the Netherlands do? We destroy the installations and fill the wells with concrete 😆🤡🫣
Have you ever seen something this insane?
That is how destructive the whole climate-change left wing lunatics crowd is in combination with visionless politicians that have zero clue of long term policy. And no...i am not saying climate change does not exist, and no, i am not against working with nature, i build huge forest gardens and eco-farms myself remember, but committing such horrendous economic and strategic mistakes for a country is just a crime really. I mean....we got fully build natural gas infrastructure and it is actively being destroyed.....simply utterly insane
HODGES: Crimea is in deep trouble right now. And the West should not start pressing Ukraine, "Hey, take it easy."
Because Ukrainians are getting closer to possibility of total isolation of Crimean peninsula, making all Russian assets there untenable.
The West also has an opportunity to really severely wreck Russia's oil and gas industry, and their export of it.
All of that would have significant effect on Russian side, Ukrainian side, and also how the rest of us view this conflict.
So, don't take your foot off the pedal. Now is the time that the West should be pressing the gas pedal to the floor.
This is exactly what we predicted earlier - Laura Loomer's engagement has dropped by 28% after she started challenging pro-Kremlin propaganda.
Social media is not real, and most Russia-supporting influencers are being amplified by Russian, Iranian and Chinese networks.
🚨 Yarchi just published an awesome guide on building an AI "second brain" using Claude and Obsidian
Based on @karpathy's LLM Wiki concept, the idea is to stop starting from a blank chat window and start building a compounding knowledge graph.
Obsidian handles the local storage.
Claude acts as the brain.
I wrote down the condensed notes on how to wire them together:
The Stack:
→ Install Obsidian (your free, local text storage) and Claude Desktop Pro (the engine that reads and writes files).
The Bridge:
→ Install the "Local REST API" plugin in Obsidian, copy the key, and use Claude’s MCP framework to connect them (claude mcp add-json obsidian-vault...).
The Context:
→ Ask Claude to interview you. Have it ask about your goals, projects, and working style, then save it all to a CLAUDE.md file so it never forgets who you are.
The Structure:
→ Create specific project folders (Inputs, Process, Outputs, Feedback) and open them as isolated vaults so Claude stays focused on one job at a time.
The Automation:
→ Save repeated workflows as markdown "skills" and use Claude's schedule tab to trigger daily vault maintenance.
Voilà!
You end up with an AI that organizes your files, summarizes your notes, and remembers your entire context.

Here @Wiswesser explains the activities of Russian intelligence services. It's an important 3 minutes.
He quotes one Russian operative, when asked why Russia doesn't engage with diplomacy with Ukraine, "Diplomacy doesn't matter. We're trying to destroy the system the United States set up... They want to destroy the way the world functions, liberal based democracies and law functioning societies. They want to destroy it."
"I believe it's all meant to coerce the West, to intimidate European partners not to help Ukraine in particular."
"The most important thing is to understand how they think... Their culture is a thugocracy. These intelligence services are like giant mafia bands... They have no equivalents. A lot of people say the FSB in Russia is like the FBI in the United States. Nothing further from the truth."
"It's a bully culture, and that goes back to the Chekist traditions of the KGB."
🎯 As I’ve been saying for years, Putin has exposed himself in Ukraine. Want to stop Russia’s election interference and propaganda? Its campaigns of sabotage and assassination? Its aid to dictatorships from Cuba and Venezuela to Iran and its terror proxies? Defeat him in Ukraine.
