Rubio calls a spade a spade

[Open Source Intel @Osint613]

Secretary of State Marco Rubio:

The International Criminal Court seeks to become the unaccountable arbiter of a new global law, empowered to prosecute and arrest our citizens at will and existentially threaten American sovereignty.

We will teach the ICC the full meaning of American resolve.

the Agnipath scheme of the Indian government is a potential national security threat (from the perspective of Indian people)

Agnipath scheme trains 'Agniveers' for the military and releases 75% of candidates after just 4 years

releasing about 75,000 military trained individuals into the wild every year can create all kinds of mischief

especially 1) with potential dark money flows enabled by GIFT city- new international money centre within India and 2) international security firms originally from UK, Australia, Singapore allowed to hire released Agniveers

even if 1,000 ex-agniveers are hired by non-state actors domestic or foreign every year (which is realistic given 75,000 are released every year), that is a sizable military trained killing capacity within India's borders that is not sufficiently controlled by the democratic state

the potential for mischief is endless

one example: NATO's stay behind networks- civilians trained to operate arms in pockets everywhere in Europe after WWII- were behind a dozen or more high profile political killings including Olof Palme (Swedish PM), Aldo Moro (PM of Italy) in the 20th century

I repeat, there is endless potential for mischief from this scheme, none of them good for the people of India

@teortaxesTex China is behind Elon by at least 5 years when it comes to rockets. likely 10

Eli Lilly ahead on biopharma licenses

[Yair Einhorn @yaireinhorn]

Another testimony of Eli Lilly’s increasing dominance in the BioTech and Pharma ecosystem - compared to other Big Pharma companies - $PFE $JNJ $NVS $NVO $BMY $ABBV $MRK $SNY and others, can be seen in this excellent FT chart 👇. According to UBS $LLY has rapidly ascended to the top of the list of the big Pharma company which signed the most AI deals after it had signed 20 deals to license AI technology from third parties. As of May of this year that is more than any other big Pharma company - with $AZN as a far second with 15 AI deals. The most notable AI deal which $LLY made was in March of 2026 when it announced a $2.75B R&D collaboration deal with an AI drug discovery company - Insilico Medicine, in which Eli Lilly was granted exclusive global rights to a portfolio of preclinical therapies and to use Insilico’s AI engine to discover new treatments across multiple diseases areas. Eli Lilly is a true powerhouse of research and innovation.

happy birthday America!!!

the greatest country ever

[rajesh @rajesh62]

imo the leader/ hegemon role might have been the US, but the rules of the geopolitical game are still British, unchanged from a hundred years ago. they guard the rules zealously

Chatham House is not a random thinktank, it is Royal Institute of International Affairs. there is a lot of weight behind where they point

[rajesh @rajesh62]

@bourne_les @PrometheanActn except you have got your timelines mixed up

Hamilton's 4 reports as treasury secretary came in 1790-93 (on public credit, on national bank, on manufacturing and on mints). these are the first sighting of the American System

Napoleon's continental blockades came after 1805

Orwell was an evil genius

he condemned communism (duh) for a dystopian alternate vision- a hereditary ruling class ruling over compliant subjects aka the British Empire

not the American principles of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness for Orwell

he was an Empire propaganda hack

artificial life?

NEW: Scientists say they have, for the first time, constructed a synthetic cell from non-living chemical components that can feed, grow, and replicate—just like a natural cell.

the most important question today is: what makes China work?

to know the answer is to be able to replicate it

Crichton was GOAT

[PoIiMath @politicalmath]

Michael Crichton is such a fascinating figure and it is a goddamn shame he died so young

This guy got into Harvard Medical School and said "actually, I want to write stories" so he wrote one of the most harrowing long short stories, the Andromeda Strain.

This guy was addicted to research. He read scientific journals for fun and researched everything that captured his interest. He was curious and skeptical. He thought hard about the implications of technology all the time.

And, instead of being a dork and writing a blog, he wrote entire novels warning about the dangers of emerging technologies. And they were great!

He wrote a `Prey` about the dangers of combining AI with nanobots 24 years ago. It's tremendous. You could publish it today and it would be relevant.

I miss him. I miss technically competent authors who can spin a good yarn while informing the reader about how technology is changing the world.

Crichton was a generational talent and we are poorer for his absence.
