Zelensky, June 19th: Lukashenko, you have one week to remove those drone signal relays, or else!
Zelensky, June 24th: The repeaters stopped operating cuz Lukashenko fears muh wrath.
Syrskyi, June 30th: The repeaters are still operating.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@m7mdkurd This is a pretty big exaggeration. CPJ are taking a small number off the list. It has little effect on their tally, still more than 200 journalists slain in Gaza.
Há 33 anos, em 27 de junho de 1993, a artista iraquiana Layla Al-Attar era assassinada em Bagdá. Sua casa foi explodida por dois mísseis disparados pelos Estados Unidos. O ataque teria sido uma retaliação após Layla produzir um famoso mosaico chamando Bush de "criminoso".

We went from "there are no US controlled biolabs in Ukraine" to "the US biolabs in Ukraine is just Russian propaganda" to "yes, there are US biolabs in Ukraine, it's public knowledge, but they are good ones, merely researching some of the most dangerous pathogens on Earth"
That all governments have agreed to this folly tells you everything you need to know about the state of Europe. Then again, a hyper-corrupt, Nazi-ridden dictatorship is the perfect candidate for joining the EU. Anyway, anything that accelerate the implosion of the Union should be supported.
The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.
The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.
Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.
If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
