Wir brauchen keine neue europäische „Sicherheitsarchitektur”. Was wir brauchen, ist, dass Russland sich wie ein normales Land an die Regeln der europäischen Friedensordnung hält.
❗️Kaja Kallas: the problem is that Russia does not abide by the agreements it signs. A European security architecture already exists — at least 30 international agreements (several of them concerning Ukraine) in which Russia committed to respect sovereignty and territorial integrity, including the Budapest Memorandum. The focus should be on ensuring Russia fulfills its existing commitments rather than creating a new model.
@marhin@chri_gru es hat halt auch kaum einer das uran für den betrieb. da bist du 100% abhängig.
wenn wir russische brennstäbe genauso sanktionieren würden wie russisches öl und gas, wäre es in diesen ländern zappenduster.
You look at this blue landslide in America based on races that got zero attention on this website and it really does make clear twitter is not real life. The more reporters who get that, the healthier American politics will be.
Now that vaults are having another twitter moment, huge shoutout to Nancy Kedersha who co-discovered vaults and stress granules and did cool shit for a long time, all without having an independent laboratory.
About Sequoia closing their London office:
No US firm has ever deeply cared about Europe on a firm level. There are people in charge (for a time) who might, there are people on the team who do.
Prices go high in SF, people expand their reach to Europe. Market contracts, people are ‘back to the essence’. There are other reasons, mostly personal for individual partners, that wax and wane similarly.
It doesn’t matter.
Just keep building in Europe. If you make this event a watershed moment about our continent and ecosystem, you never really had the conviction.
This place is hundred times better than it was 20 years ago, and it will be hundred times better 20 years from now.
The fact that MAGA watches Star Wars and identifies with the Empire explains so much about their understanding of democracy. It's hilarious that George Lucas made an entire franchise warning people about fascism, and MAGA watched it like a recruitment video.
Picard taught me more about leadership than any MBA could.
He never raised his voice to be heard. He listened before he decided. He let Riker, Data, Worf argue him out of positions, and then owned the call completely. When he was wrong, he said so in front of the crew. When he was right, he didn't gloat.
And when he had to stand alone — against Starfleet, against the Borg, against a Cardassian with four lights — he stood.
That is the whole job. Build people who will tell you the truth, then carry the weight yourself.
Patrick Stewart played it so well that a generation of us mistook a character for a manual. Turns out the manual was fine.
A great actor, and a Yorkshire kid who started as an obituary writer. Today the obituary is his.
Make it so, Sir Patrick. Rest well.
Elon, Republicans controlled the White House, the House, and the Senate, while conservatives held a supermajority on the Supreme Court. You enthusiastically campaigned for exactly that. Somehow, the concentration of power only becomes a threat to democracy when Democrats might benefit from it.
Or maybe you're actually afraid of something else? A serious investigation into your reported phone calls with Putin, for example?
@elonmusk the world’s richest man just listed his biggest fears for america, and somehow housing, groceries, wages, and health care didn’t make the list. tells you everything
Hello @elonmusk and @tylercowen ,
You have just decided to publicly attack our research, six days before the vote on the California billionaire wealth tax.
Your attempt to discredit our work and that of our numerous academic colleagues is pathetic.
Let’s take a look. 🧵
ICE is hunting down immigrants with the help of Palantir.
In six months, Palantir’s founder, @PeterThiel, will be able to start spending unimaginable sums of money —completely tax-free — to bankroll the political causes dear to his heart.
He'll be able to do it thanks to a tax-avoidance scheme he’s been building for more than 20 years, at a staggering cost to the American taxpayer.
Let me explain. 🧵
