@markomihkelson @MarkGaleotti If the #Mashaandthebear-gate doesn't illustrate the intellectual bankruptcy of the current political discourse, where the fear of foreign influence has reached such irrational heights that it targets preschool entertainment, I don't know what does.

@RnaudBertrand "In view of the gravity of the situation, it is necessary, consistent with the right to freedom of expression and information, to introduce further restrictive measures to urgently suspend the broadcasting activities of such media outlets in the European Union."
Lovely.😂😅🤣

@bneeditor We had "Donbas." At some point, the factory paint began to fade, and my grandpa decided to paint it. But new paint just wouldn't stick; it's like the fridge was telling us, 'Leave me be, and I'll serve until your dying day.' It did outlive both my mom and grandpa.

@BrianMcDonaldIE Help me out with the logistics: do the Russian-Chechen stormtroopers rape WHILE coming down the street, or do they first come down the street, settle in, shower, shave, change, go out, and THEN commence the raping?

@clashreport Dude, if you don’t want to be Chancellor anymore, just resign. No need to make people hate you with the same proactive, militant passion Ukrainians had for Yanukovych 🤣😂😅

@DanielLDavis1 @DougAMacgregor I'm shocked by MacGregor's description of Kyiv. This alone is proof that the good colonel (as astute a student of history as he is) is completely detached from reality: both capitals are living the good life, and the 1% in both 🇺🇦 & 🇷🇺 care very little about the 99%.

@JordanUhl @matthewstoller Are you positive this isn't soundcheck? Musicians are all wearing shorts an tees, shouldn't they all be spiffed up for the occasion?

@jwriddle_ Nah, it's ok. She's on her way to FOX, syndication, or some shit like that. In a month, she'll be on The View, coaching America how to eat, pray, and love. It's entirely on us that we listen to her instead of truly great thinkers.

Here's some free data for you: I get paid on the 1st and 15th of every month, and my home is 910 sq ft. So? Are you telling me that gambling platforms are run by crooks and that privacy in the age of AI is a pipe dream? What a revelation! Know where the red button is, that's all.

My jaw dropped listening to this

“My husband worked for a very large mobile gaming company, and these are the craziest things he ever told me”

He says they estimate the value of each users home by their home WiFi signal. “Let's talk about data tracking — They would estimate the value of your home, and the way they did that was by looking at your WiFi signal, and depending on how strong the signal was, they would know how far you've walked from where the router is in your house, and they could estimate the square footage of your house from that, compare that to your general location data, and guess how much your house is worth and then they would sell you coin packs based on how much money they thought you had”

“They tracked the days of the month that you got your direct deposit, your paycheck, and they would send push notifications locations and targeted ads on those days to get you to buy coins”

I verified all this is not only possibly, but it’s 100% happening

- Mobile apps with permission can access WiFi signal strength
- As you move around with your phone, the app logs how signal strength changes weaker farther from router. This can roughly estimate room sizes, floor plans and overall home footprint especially combined with GPS and location data for the neighborhood

This is not what you sign up for when you download an app

October 7, 2023, early morning, Israel's police command center: "(Strike) Gaza. Break it all apart. Along with the soldiers who got abducted."

In the first hours of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, while conversing with Israel's Police Chief Kobi Shabtai, another senior officer calls to implement the Hannibal Directive, and destroy Gaza along with the Israeli captives. Minister Itamar Ben Gvir later arrives and orders to stop filming the meeting.

It’s pure politics. Trump has already argued that much of the world hates Israel, and JD is largely following that line. Politically, it’s a low-risk way to build capital.
Statements like these are unlikely to change much strategically. Over the years, US leaders have said or done things that could have caused far greater damage to the US-Israel relationship, yet the alliance has endured.
By taking this position, JD risks very little while appealing to anti-Israel sentiment that exists both in parts of the U.S. and internationally. In that sense, he gets to present himself as a champion to those audiences without paying a meaningful political price.

With Tulsi Gabbard's new revelations about US bio labs in many countries around the world including Ukraine, it's fascinating recall the bizarre series of events that gave rise to this controversy in the first place:

In May of 2022, some of us began asking whether the US had bio labs in Ukraine, what they were for, and why the US had them there. For asking those questions, we were instantly branded as "pro-Russian conspiracy theorists" in official Ukrainian intel reports, on our Wikipedia pages, by countless media outlets, etc. This was and remains one of the most bizarre episodes I've ever seen.

Before May 2022, when we asked those questions, barely anyone had ever thought about let alone asked about "bio weapons in Ukraine"! I certainly hadn't. Like most people, I had never mentioned a word about it because it had never occurred to me we had them there.

But then, Marco Rubio summoned Victoria Nuland to the Senate and asked her in a televised hearing under oath about these "rumors," clearly expecting her to immediately debunk them as obvious Kremlin lies and to proclaim the US had no such bio labs in Ukraine.

Instead, Nuland did the opposite! She *confirmed* key aspects of these "rumors," and she explicitly warned that the US has several "bio research labs" in Ukraine that are so dangerous that they must not be allowed to fall into Russia's hands.

When some of us heard Nuland's rather shocking admission -- the first-ever disclosure about these labs -- we of course asked: wait! what? Why does the US have bio labs in Ukraine, and what are the US and Ukraine doing in those labs that make them (in Nuland's eyes) so dangerous?? (Note: nobody ever suggested that the presence of these bio labs in Ukraine justified the Russian invasion; we just wanted answers about these US bio labs that Nuland had casually divulged).

We never got real answers. We got smear campaigns. To this day, our names are formally attached to claims that we spread "conspiracy theories" for asking about these labs even though it was Victoria Nuland herself who was the one who accidentally revealed them for the first time in a Senate hearing in response to a shocked Marco Rubio. They then quickly tried shutting down any questioning by pretending that Nuland never said this, and it was just a bunch of paid Kremlin mouthpieces who were spreading lies.

You see the same tactics now being against Tulsi for releasing this new intelligence report. Watch the Nuland testimony in question:

People need to calm down with the "Elon Musk is a trillionaire" headlines. What Forbes and Bloomberg are actually saying is that Elon Musk's mark-to-market net worth exceeds $1 trillion.

SpaceX's IPO floated roughly $75 billion worth of stock. The rest of the trillion-dollar narrative comes from applying the latest market price to all outstanding shares, including the ones Musk never sold. In other words, the market looked at a relatively small slice of the company, assigned it a price, and then extrapolated that price across the entire pie for the time being, until Trump tweets something stupid again or Musk himself rags on Israel without thinking...

So is Musk a trillionaire? Weeeell, feel free to call him that, but he simply has a trillion dollars' worth of assets at today's market price, which is a whole different story.

@oleshkomyroslav I can see this dude selflessly throwing himself in front of a tank or pulling his wounded CO out of the firefight while bleeding to near-death himself. We're witnessing the making of a hero!🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
