People keep saying Trump term II is the most corrupt administration ever, so I built a model to find out if it was true.

I took the UN's definition of corruption, turned it into eight criteria and 100 points, and scored the leaders history remembers for looting their countries: Marcos, Suharto, Mobutu, Abacha, Obiang, Putin.

Then I put every president since Eisenhower on the same scale, both parties, with every exoneration counted right alongside the convictions.

Nixon scored 41 and no other American President scored over a 25.

Trump's second term scored a 91, which ties him with Suharto and Mobutu and puts him above Marcos and Abacha.

So he is not only the most corrupt president in American history. At this pace he finishes his term level with the most corrupt rulers of the last hundred years.

PSA: don't come in my comments arguing about the results if you haven't read the full article, because ignorance is a choice.

Full article is up now on my Substack (link in bio) and it's free.

Ui, das ist heftig!

Die griechische Europaabgeordnete MdEP Aphroditi Latinopoulou ging auf die „Verdienste“ von v. d. Leyen ein.

„Frau von der Leyen, es gibt keine größere Rassistin gegenüber Europäern als Sie, und dafür gibt es Beweise.

Sie haben uns mit illegalen Migranten überschwemmt, uns mit Steuern und Bürokratie erdrückt. Sie haben unsere Landwirte, Viehzüchter und Fischer ruiniert. Sie schließen europäische Fabriken, und Hunderttausende von Arbeitsplätzen gehen verloren.

Sie haben die traditionelle Familie zerstört. Sie zwingen uns die „Woke“-Agenda, den grünen Wahnsinn und die Islamisierung Europas auf. Auf unsere Kosten versorgen Sie Millionen illegaler Migranten, die unsere Stadtteile zerstören, plündern, belästigen, morden – und am Ende stellen Sie ihnen sogar Ausweise aus, damit sie wählen können.

Dafür haben Sie uns aber Papierstrohhalme, festgeklebte Verschlusskappen und Gay-Prides beschert.

Sie sind nicht nur Merkels beste Schülerin. Sie haben sie übertroffen, Frau von der Leyen. Sie stecken tief in Skandalen und Korruptionsvorwürfen: PfizerGate, verschwundene Nachrichten und die Verweigerung von Kontrollen.

Und all das – ohne die Zustimmung der europäischen Bürger.“

End of an era. Tim Cook stepped down as Apple CEO. Today John Ternus takes over.

Here's the pattern nobody is talking about.

Apple doesn't pick CEOs. It picks weapons for the next war.

Late 1990s. Apple was dying. It brought back Steve Jobs. A product visionary who saved the company by building things people didn't know they needed.

Apple had the best products but needed global scale.

It picked Tim Cook. An operations guy who turned it into a $5 trillion supply chain machine. $350 billion to $5 trillion on his watch. First company to cross $1T, $2T, $3T.

Apple has the best devices on earth and the weakest AI narrative in big tech.

So it picked an engineer.

John Ternus. 25 years at Apple.

He led the shift to Apple Silicon. Killed Intel. Shipped the M1. Hardware lead on every iPhone, Mac, iPad, and Vision Pro of the last decade.

The same week he becomes CEO, OpenAI and Anthropic are buying tens of thousands of his Mac minis to train AI agents. Apple hardware became critical AI infrastructure without Apple building a single AI model.

The AI war won't be won by chatbots. It'll be won on the chips AI runs on.

Ternus built those chips.

Tim Cook's last words as CEO: "My title changes tomorrow, but the love I have for the Apple community never will."

The hardest shoes in tech were handed to the quietest engineer in the room.

Anthropic has been misleading people with the Max plans: it has been advertising the $200 plan as 20x and the $100 plan as 5x. You'd expect to get 4 times more usage with those figures, but it turns out it's only 1.7x.

You pay twice the price, for 1.7x the usage. And yet they've literally been marketing it as if you're saving 50% (see screenshot below).

The usage figures Anthropic gave in July 2025 were 140–280 Sonnet hours at 5x and 240–480 at 20x.

Turns out that multiplier only covers the daily 5-hour session window. So in the end, if you take weekly cap into account, you pay more per hour with the 20x than with the 5x.

this movie was unexpectedly good

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today, many were shocked by yet another video of the drone “safari” Russians are carrying out against civilians in Kherson. A Russian drone deliberately hunted down a man selling vegetables and detonated right next to him. The Russians even admitted to the crime, showing zero regret and openly boasting about tormenting people. The man was wounded in the blast. Every single day, ordinary people in Kherson face these Russian "safaris."

The world must see this. It must see every piece of evidence that Russia has gone mad and that its soldiers take pleasure in killing and abusing civilians. Without pressure on Russia, the dismantling of its capacity for aggression, and real security guarantees, it is simply impossible to imagine the world being able to coexist with this evil. We must remain resolute in defending life. We must act and support life in ways that force Russia to seriously think about peace rather than expanding the range of its drones.

This is not just about Ukraine. Russia’s campaign against human life must be stopped here in Ukraine before it spreads further. Finland and Kazakhstan, the Baltic states and Poland, the countries of the South Caucasus, Romania, and Moldova—all should work together to ensure real security guarantees and bring Russia’s war to an end. Peace is needed, which requires cooperation among everyone in the world who truly values peace. Thank you to everyone standing with Ukraine!

Trump last night: „We are helping NATO with Ukraine, so NATO should help the US to keep the Strait of Hormuz open.“

This is a lie. Trump suspended all help to Ukraine with his inauguration. Not a single cent is going to Ukraine. European countries are buying US weapons. This is not helping, this purchasing. When I buy my goods in a store, then the store is not „helping“, it is making business.

Trump threatened allies around the globe with invasion and denigrated them at every step, including fallen soldiers in Afghanistan. Putin on the other hand got a pass, received a warm welcome in Alaska and even got sanctions lifted.

Those are the facts.

[Cláudia Teixeira @claudiaaict]

Num país com urgências hospitalares a rebentar, jovens sem acesso à habitação e serviços públicos a falhar todos os dias, há problemas reais a exigir respostas urgentes. E, no meio disto, a prioridade passa a ser silenciar um partido com mais de um milhão e meio de eleitores?

Numa democracia, pode-se discordar, criticar e combater politicamente. O que não se pode é tratar votos como se fossem descartáveis quando incomodam.

Mais de um milhão e meio de pessoas não são um detalhe estatístico. São cidadãos. São eleitores. São parte do país.

Quando a solução proposta é calar quem vota de forma diferente, o problema deixa de ser o partido. Passa a ser o respeito pela própria democracia.
