Moreover, we drove through Finland (Helsinki to Kilpisjärvi) and it was a sad show.

The hallmarks of an economic decline are everywhere. Roads are breaking, trash is everywhere, and the general apathy of the populace is palpable (except in the very north).

For those who don't know what is happening:

The US violated the MoU by opening another shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz from the Omani side

According to the MoU, the shipping lanes in the strait should remain under Iran’s control, which means what America did was a violation of the MoU

Iran then targeted ships that tried to pass through the Omani side

The US responded by attacking Iran and later announced that the MoU and the ceasefire were over

Now Iran is attacking US military bases across the region

One thing to keep in mind is that the Strait of Hormuz is one of Iran’s main strategic leverage points, and Iran says it will not allow the US to take control of it under any circumstances

Today is a dark day for freedom and democracy in Europe. General chat surveillance has been implemented in Brussels. A disgrace.

The so-called Chat Control 1.0 cleared a crucial hurdle in the European Parliament today. This means platforms may once again be allowed to scan private messages, officially on a “voluntary” basis, but in practice this marks the return of indiscriminate monitoring of private communication.

What makes this especially bitter is that a majority of the MEPs who voted were reportedly against it. According to Patrick Breyer, 314 MEPs voted against the regulation, 276 voted in favor and 17 abstained. And yet the rejection failed because it was not enough to have a simple majority of those voting. An absolute majority of all MEPs would have been required.

That is the democratic scandal.

When a majority of those present votes against a proposal and it still passes because a formal threshold is not reached, it does not feel like democratic decision-making to many citizens. It feels like a procedural trick.

And it becomes even more problematic when you look at the context: Chat Control had already been rejected before. Yet the issue was put back on the agenda shortly before the summer break, through an urgent procedure, at a time when absences could become decisive.

This is not just some technical regulation. It goes to the very core of private communication. It is about whether digital messages remain fundamentally private or whether platforms may systematically scan content again, without concrete suspicion, without a court order and without any individual cause.

A free society must not turn private communication into a potential surveillance zone. Anyone who takes digital fundamental rights seriously cannot accept millions of innocent people being placed under general suspicion.

Today, a dangerous signal was sent: fundamental rights can be hollowed out through procedural logic, timing and political tricks. Not through an open, clear and honest majority, but through a system in which absence effectively helps the supporters.

This is a dark day for Europe.

Not because the fight is over, but because today showed how easily digital fundamental rights come under pressure when surveillance logic, symbolic politics and institutional tricks come together.

Anyone who wants a free internet, anyone who wants to protect private communication and anyone who takes democracy seriously should talk about this.

Share this issue. Inform yourself. Look at who voted how. And never forget: freedom rarely disappears all at once. It disappears step by step, often in technical details, often in complicated procedures and often exactly when too few people are watching.

Happy 80th birthday to my friend George W. Bush!

Your friendship—and that of your father and your entire family—has been one of the great gifts of my life. It has always reminded me that long before we’re politicians, we’re fellow Americans and, above all, human beings.

And for the next month, I’m especially grateful to finally have someone older than me! Wishing you many more years of good health, happiness, and friendship.

Our country is stronger when we remember that what unites us is greater than what divides us.

NATO weapons, war planning, intelligence, target selection, and contractors are used to strike deeper and deeper into Russia, until Russia believes it has no other option than to retaliate. Our political leaders took us to war against Russia without even permitting a discussion or debate. When the retaliation comes, it will be obligatory to claim it was "unprovoked".

Quello che ho raccontato non è un film. È ciò che abbiamo vissuto.

Ci hanno sequestrato, bendato e ammanettato. Ci hanno lasciati al freddo per ore. Ci hanno umiliati, intimiditi, privati del sonno. A me ed Alessandro Mantovano ci hanno posto di fronte ad un plotone di esecuzione con i fucili puntati alle nostre schiene.

Questo è accaduto a un gruppo di volontari, di civili, con un parlamentare, diversi giornalisti e tanti medici e infermieri.

E allora vi chiedo di immmaginare: se questo trattamento viene riservato a noi, cosa subiscono ogni giorno i palestinesi, lontano dalle telecamere?

Non possiamo voltare lo sguardo dall'altra parte. Non possiamo accettare che tutto questo venga normalizzato.

Continuerò a raccontare ciò che ho visto e vissuto, perché il silenzio rende complici e la verità è il primo passo per chiedere giustizia.

It is NOT China that is deindustrializing Germany. It is Germany itself. Of course China is taking the opportunity to expand its industries, but Germany is the one on the driver seat.

In 2024, a Chinese official told me, "we love the German greens. They are committing energy and industrial suicide, this is so good for our industries."

Germany has the world most stupid energy policy, and still insists on it despite of its obvious failures. No other country but Germany itself is responsible for this biggest driver of de-industrialization in the country.

Decenas de civiles, incluido niños, esperan a ser fusilados en una fosa común durante el genocidio indonesio, en el que más de 3 millones de personas serían exterminadas por los fascistas indonesios, con apoyo y pago de la CIA, solo por ser comunistas.

Yakarta, Indonesia, 1965.

En aquel entonces, el Partido Comunista de Indonesia era uno de los partidos mas fuertes del mundo, por ello EEUU organizó escuadrones de la muerte que fueron casa por casa asesinando a todos los sospechosos de ser comunistas, durante meses, día y noche, llegando a matar hasta a 3 millones de personas s

En este genocidio contra los comunistas en Indonesia, tras un golpe de estado organizado principalmente por EEUU, que exterminaria a 3 millones de personas en apenas un año.

🦔Google's electricity consumption jumped from 31 to 43 terawatt hours in a single year, the largest increase in the company's history. Google now uses more electricity than New Zealand. Emissions rose 18%. Water consumption climbed 34% to 10.9 billion gallons.

My Take
Google's electricity didn't just grow. The rate at which it grew also grew. That's exponential, and Google admitted it when it said AI infrastructure expands faster than the power grid can decarbonize. If you know you're building faster than the grid can handle and you keep going, the climate target isn't hard to reach. You gave up on it and haven't said so.

Google claims its products avoided 41 million tonnes of emissions in 2025, more than the company's entire footprint. Most of that comes from Google crediting itself for clean energy projects that used Google Earth to pick a site. By that logic Google Docs helped write every climate policy drafted on it. Amazon now emits more than New Zealand and Henrico County asked its teachers to turn off the lights so data centers could stay on. The companies pledged net zero before the AI buildout and every one of them went backward. Google's report says the path won't be linear. They're right. It's exponential, in the wrong direction.

[Richard @ricwe123]

Under a draft law proposed by Verena Hubertz (SPD), municipalities in Germany will be empowered to block people from buying property based on claims that they hold the "wrong" political views or are engaged in "anti-constitutional activities"

This will give local authorities extraordinary discretion to deny one of the most fundamental rights of ownership pure on ideological grounds.

So the state will decide who is politically acceptable enough to own property.

Make no mistake,supporters and voters of the AfD will be the first to be targeted under such a system.....

Lo de Sony anunciando que dejará de producir juegos físicos en 2028 es un tremendo error y una ruina para los jugadores. Básicamente nos están quitando el derecho a poseer lo que compramos.

Sin discos no hay mercado de segunda mano, no puedes prestar tus juegos, y dependes al 100% de los precios abusivos y el monopolio de la PlayStation Store.

Nos quieren convertir en meros inquilinos de licencias digitales que pueden borrar cuando les dé la gana. Qué puñetero desastre.

The most secretive company on Earth just learned that its secrets are only as safe as its least-secure supplier. Apple was not hacked. A factory in India was, and out of it spilled photographs of the unreleased iPhone 18 Pro, the supplier lists Apple guards like a state secret, and the exact map of which company makes which part. The leak did not come from the fortress. It came from the edge of the empire.

The chain is short. A ransomware crew called “World Leaks” broke into “Tata Electronics”, Apple's fast-rising manufacturing partner in India, and dumped 204,341 files, 630 gigabytes, on the dark web.

Inside were drop-test photos of the next iPhone and at least six files mapping iPhone 18 Pro parts to their exact suppliers, the precise information Apple refuses to publish, because it shows where the company is strong and where it can be squeezed.

The same breach exposed files from Tesla, TSMC, and Qualcomm. One weak supplier spilled the secrets of four giants at once.

The reason it happened in India and not Cupertino is the whole point. Apple spent years moving production out of China to escape its dependence on one country. India now builds 26 percent of the world's iPhones, up from 6 percent four years ago, and Tata absorbed tens of thousands of workers and multiple plants in barely six years to do it. That spread the geopolitical risk beautifully. It also multiplied the doors an attacker can try, and the newest door had the weakest lock.

This is the trap inside every global supply chain. To survive a political shock, you spread out. To stay secret, you must lock down. The two pull in opposite directions, and every new factory that makes you safer from one risk makes you more exposed to the other.

A secret is never kept by the company that owns it. It is kept by the least careful hands that touch it.
