Every single word of this. Read it, repeat it, scream it, live it, insist on it.

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).

It’s also concerning. 1/

The other day a student asked me about the prevalence of insider trading in prediction markets. I now have an answer.

Draghi's speech with some home truths - critical of EU sluggishness and clear on the threats posed by the US and China

Draghi: The foundations of Europe’s growth—expanding world trade and high-value exports— have weakened further.

Just look at what happened with solar investment - it’s astonishing.

Solar has seen the most rapid investment growth, soaring from $142 billion in 2015 to a projected $441 billion this year.

Trump Will Slow, but May Not Stop, the Rise of Electric Vehicles

EVs are quieter, simpler, less expensive to run, and more fun to drive than equivalent combustion cars. They’re where world auto markets are going, so why handicap US auto companies competing in those markets? All to pay off fossil fuel donors.

Fact Sheet: The United States and European Union Reach Massive Trade Deal MAKING GLOBAL HISTORY: Yesterday, President Donald J. Trump announced a trade deal with the European Union (EU), fundamentally rebalancing the economic

Believe it or not, the EU-US trade deal just got messier.

The White House has published a fact-sheet about the agreement with claims that directly contradict the European Commission's version of events.

Let's take a closer look.

I think European leaders - both national and in the EU - are underestimating what it will do to their publics to be humilated by Trump.

Like the NATO summit and Rutte's 'Daddy' strategy, mabye the outcome could have been worse. But losing pride and being humilated is also a price that is paid.

Just so’s we’re all clear, almost 3/4 of everything we buy from Europe is now 15% more expensive.

18 July 1914 | A Norwegian Jewish woman, Hanna Jaffe, was born in Kristiania (today Oslo). A printer.

She arrived at #Auschwitz on 1 December 1942 in a transport of 532 Jews from occupied Norway. She was among 346 people murdered in gas chamber after arrival selection.

A 30% tariff on EU exports would hurt businesses, consumers and patients on both sides of the Atlantic.

We will continue working towards an agreement by August 1.

At the same time, we are ready to safeguard EU interests on the basis of proportionate countermeasures.

Here's a big-picture geopolitical thread on Israel's war on Iran - its possibilities, impossibilities, dynamics, and delusions. My goal is to give you a full big-picture view in one place, which is why this is a long thread. If you prefer drip-fed updates, skip this thread.

My small country, Estonia, population 1.3 million sent 2003-2014 over 2500 soldiers. 9 were killed in the line of duty. 109 wounded, half of them so seriously they could no longer lead a normal life.

In Iraq 2003-2009 we had more than 440 soldiers. 2 were killed. 18 seriously wounded.

Dette skjønte jeg ikke bæret av. Hvorfor er prisen i FI så lav samtidig som det flyter mer kraft inn i prisområdet? Transit til Baltikum gir ikke mening, FI kunne eksportert dit selv uten import fra SE, eller?

with that said it’s clear that China’s EVs have reached price parity with its gas models. Which is arguably more important.

The year is 2027 and Nvidia stock is surging on rumours they're close to developing a next generation processor capable of calculating US auto-tariffs.

Nothing has prepared you to live under Trump 2 as much as growing up in 1980s/90s Latin America. It was exactly like that! The sudden announcements changing everything, the overwhelming uncertainty, the sheer vertigo and whiplash. Plus, the sense that democracy is fragile and could collapse...

On a positive note, at least Russia is in the passenger seat of the car that Trump decided to drive off a cliff.

Oil prices are now over 30% below what was needed for their 2025 budget and they blew through all their financial loopholes in 2024.

Norway: "Large Protests Against Trump And Musk" www.aftenposten.no/verden/i/XjA...

At the NYC protest in Bryant Park:

There are basically no cops here, just tens of thousands of people orderly protesting our fascist government from the New York Public Library to Madison Square Park. Volunteers are moving people in the right direction. It’s beautiful.
