Donald Trump told the world that a particular body of water in Washington DC would be taller than some skyscrapers if it was made to stand up on end.

There are no plans to do this, as it would be impossible, but the US President thought the point worth making anyway.

Oooo-kaaay.

Journalists at the event were apparently too polite (or uniformed) to tell President Trump that there are a great many man-made lakes far larger than the one he is talking about (the Lincoln Reflecting Pool), with most of them being in Russia.

Also, it’s unclear why he considered this to be news, as it was made in 1923.

Reminder: This man is in charge of the nuclear codes.

Donald Trump wants to spend millions of taxpayer dollars building a monument to himself at the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery, where generations of America's fallen heroes have been laid to rest.

Today I stood with two veterans whose families are buried at Arlington to say what Republicans on the Appropriations Committee refused to: this is a desecration of our most hallowed ground, and it has to be stopped.

The Royal Tombs of Philip II of Macedon at Vergina in northern Greece were only discovered in 1977 so the priceless treasures contained within were largely undisturbed.

The museum was built above the tombs and is an extraordinary way to display this UNESCO world heritage site.

A PhD student built a working nuclear fusion reactor in his garage, let an AI run it, and 400 thousand dollars later he works for Elon Musk.

he posted it once. that single post ended with a grant in his account and a job offer from the most powerful man on earth.

not a simulation. not a school project. an actual device that fuses atoms, sitting where his car used to be.

fusion is the thing governments have been chasing for 70 years with billion dollar labs. the hard part was never the reactor itself. it was the control. the plasma inside has to be held at conditions hotter than the core of the sun, and it shifts and collapses in milliseconds. no human can react fast enough to keep it stable.

so he stopped trying to do it himself. he handed the control loop to an AI.

the model reads the sensor data hundreds of times a second, predicts how the plasma is about to move, and adjusts the magnetic fields before it ever drifts out of line. it does not wait for the plasma to misbehave. it sees it coming and corrects it before it happens. the same reaction-before-the-event speed no person could ever match.

this is the exact kind of build people are tearing apart inside @NeuroClubAi. not to make reactors, but because the workflow is identical for anything hard. let the AI run the loop, predict the problem, fix it before it breaks. same playbook whether it is plasma or a business.

then the post went out.

within days Elon's fusion team reached out. they did not ask him to interview for an entry role. they handed him a 400 thousand dollar grant and pulled him onto the team building this at scale. one garage build turned a PhD student into an operator for the most ambitious man alive.

here is the part that should stop you.

he was one guy with a PhD, a garage, and an AI model doing the job that entire teams of physicists used to fail at. the AI was not assisting him. it was the operator. he built the hardware. the machine ran it. and that was enough to get noticed at the very top.

most people think AI writes emails and makes pictures. meanwhile someone pointed it at one of the hardest physics problems on earth, held the plasma steady, and got paid by Elon Musk for it.

the gap is not between humans and AI anymore. it is between the people who realize what this thing can already do and the people still using it to summarize their inbox.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨WOW! Trump just LOST IT on CNN’s Kaitlan Collins for asking if the $1.8 billion DOJ slush fund is on hold or completely dead.

"You should be ashamed of yourself, you used to be a Conservative...

It was the greatest thing because people like you have abused our people so badly, like CNN, the NYT, oh my god.”

Then he started rambling and gushing about the Jan. 6 rioters.

"There was so much love and friendship; it was amazing people were crying.

"Those people have been abused by you."

We're witnessing on live TV the downfall of a powerful narcissist who's used to everything going his way.

Trump is now suggesting January 6 was an inside job, claiming, “The FBI said, ‘Go in, go in!’”

One problem: Trump was the president on January 6, and the FBI director at the time was his own appointee.

The name "Italy" has its roots in ancient Greek legend, and its origins reflect both mythology and the geographic features of the region. According to Greek tradition, the name comes from Italos, a legendary king of the Oenotrians, an ancient people who inhabited southern Italy, from Paestum in Campania to Calabria.

The Oenotrians, believed to have Greek origins themselves, were among the earliest inhabitants of the Italian peninsula. Italos, often said to be the son of Penelope and Telegonus (the son of Odysseus), became the figure after whom the land was named. The Greek historians Aristotle and Thucydides were among the first to record this myth, associating the name Italia with the descendants of Italos.

Over time, the Greeks expanded the term "Italia" to encompass a larger region of southern Italy. During the 1st century BCE, under Augustus, the name was extended to cover the entire Italian peninsula, including the Alps. The Romans further adopted the name, and under Emperor Diocletian, the Roman province of Italia was expanded to include the islands of Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica. The etymology of "Italy" might also be linked to the Greek word Aethalia, meaning "land of fog and smoke," in reference to the many active volcanoes in the region, such as Mount Etna. This volcanic connection further solidified the association of the name Italia with the unique and powerful landscape of the Italian peninsula.

🇪🇺🇨🇳 The European Union's share of the global economy has fallen from 30% to 17% in just 17 years.

That's roughly the same relative decline China experienced during the Qing Dynasty.

The difference?

China took about 50 years.

Europe did it in 17.

For decades, Europe helped shape the global economy, global institutions, and the rules of the international order.

Now it's increasingly adapting to a world being shaped by others.

The real question is whether Europe still knows how to stop it.

BREAKING: President Trump suffered a rare defeat in the House after Democrats and a handful of Republicans voted to sharply curb his war powers in Iran.

Lawmakers voted 215-208 to withdraw troops from using military force against Iran absent congressional authorization.

All Democrats present backed the measure, joined by Reps. Thomas Massie, Warren Davidson, Brian Fitzpatrick, and Tom Barrett — the only Republicans to break with the president.

The vote is largely symbolic for now. Trump is expected to veto the resolution, and supporters do not have the votes needed to override it. But the bipartisan rebuke highlights growing divisions on Capitol Hill over U.S. involvement in Iran.

❗🚢🇪🇸🇸🇦 «Navantia» and Saudi Arabia expand contract for corvette maintenance

The Spanish company «Navantia» has signed a five-year contract with the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Defense to enhance the technical maintenance of five corvettes, built at shipyards in Cadiz. The agreement extends the life-cycle support services in effect since 2022.

The contract provides for an increase in the number of technical specialists for the platform and combat systems, the supply of spare parts, as well as training of personnel to perform maintenance at the naval base in Jeddah.

The corvettes are built according to the AVANTE 2200 project, adapted for the conditions of Saudi Arabia. The first series of five ships was built from 2018 to 2021 with an interval of four months between launches. In 2024, the second phase of the contract for the construction of three more corvettes of the same type was signed. The first corvette of the second series is being prepared for launch at the shipyard in San Fernando.
