🔥 Finally an EU leader says it out loud:

“We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies.”

A rare book in an acid-free box: what is so special about that? Well, it is one of the first works to be moved to a depot with better storage conditions as part of the project #tomorrowsresearch. On Monday, all colleagues involved were given an explanation of the entire process.

Dat het klinkklare onzin is, en dat je dat best meteen in je titel zet.

VRT zou in tijden waarin veel mensen alleen een titel lezen, beter meteen in die titel stellen dat de bewering onjuist en onzin is. Ook de inleiding is niet duidelijk genoeg hierover. Dit is clickbait met mogelijk ernstige gevolgen.

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash.

Pam Bondi knew.

Kash Patel knew.

Emil Bove knew.

And they made the investigation go away.

A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

a few days ago brian kilmeade said homeless people should be executed. jesse waters accused the left of trying to start a civil war. fox news spent years telling verifiable lies about dominion and the 2020 election.

canceling jimmy kimmel isn’t about an offensive line in a monologue. it’s about

"The aggressor is always peace-loving... he would prefer to take over our country unopposed."

My favorite Clausewitz quote about war, which unfortunately applies well here.

Also, "I don't get why they think this is a winning message" = "I know my stance on this is unpopular and I am out of ideas"

Meer dan vierhonderd experts waarschuwen voor EU-voorstel ‘chat control’: ‘We beseffen onvoldoende wat voor gevolgen dat zou hebben’ Onhaalbaar, duur en gevaarlijk voor alle burgers. In een nieuwe open brief waarschuwen meer dan vierhonderd experts voor een wetsvoorstel van de EU om kindermisbruik op te sporen in versleutelde chatb...

Vierde open brief! Hoog tijd dat politici en beleidsmakers de social en ethische consequenties van dit voorstel en experts serieus nemen. #chatcontrol #csam #surveillance www.demorgen.be/nieuws/meer-...

I made a video about this. Experts watch an explainer video, make a face, and say "Well that's not what I would have said."

It's a common response to 101 vids, but unhelpful and kind of cringe.

Sad Hank Green made a physics knitting video before me. I only have two interests.

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

Een nieuw gezin op de Helpdesk.

Afghaans, met twee minderjarige kinderen. Ze krijgen geen opvang omwille van een M-status Griekenland.

Ze wisten zelfs niet dat ze erkend waren in Griekenland.

Vanavond slapen ze op straat. Twee minderjarige kinderen jonger dan vijf jaar. Ga je schamen, regering.

Putin played Trump very well 👇

He looked like a little kid seeing Disneyland for the first time ever
He strutted next to Trump with a gleeful grin all over his face
All. Day. Long.

He came to the 'summit' -to this Country- knowing exactly what he was doing

And Trump didn't have a clue
Again ..

Journalisten afdreigen, partner benoemen in raden van bestuur, een kleine overheid willen maar wel subsidies aan de eigen hobbies laten bestaan.
Maar Bouchez is de held van half Vlaanderen dat niet lijk te begrijpen hoe gevaarlijk dergelijk gedrag is goed bestuur.

Surviving the Tyranny of the Algorithm A 10-point guide to taking back your reality.

To follow up on my recent article about Trump’s covert manipulation of the algorithms that curate our reality, I published a 10-step guide for resisting the tyranny of the algorithm.

“There is no way to feed 2 million civilians in a war zone when there are men with guns circulating around those civilians.”

@tommalinowski.bsky.social on the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

En ja, het kan een detail lijken, maar ik erger me dood aan dat soort intellectuele luiheid om dat soort triviale feitjes niet juist te hebben in een artikel.

Well, I know a horse hasn't been made Senator but does Linda McMahon count?

Seriously, what part of it isn't a freak show? All circuses and no bread, that's our empire.

"Questioning is the way of learning,"

Encourage your children to ask questions, not to accept existing answers.

the thing about headline questions always being answered by 'no'.

Hill to die on: het internet was leuker toen het n-tig duizend phpBB fora waren met miljoenen nerds die *hard* gingen op hun niche. En toen was er ook drama en alles dat erbij hoort, maar was het tenminste geen performance.

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted.

Elon Musk: That was how I felt when asking Grok 4 questions about materials science that are not in any books or on the Internet Tim Sweeney: Grok 4 feels like Artificial General Intelligence to me. It is clearly not just constructing statistically likely connections, but is drawing fairly deep insights on problems it hasn't seen before, in ways I haven't seen elsewhere. Here's an example: grok.com/share/bG...

What do you think is more likely, that Musk’s Nazi robot has made new discoveries in materials science or that Musk can’t tell when he’s being told scientific-sounding gibberish?
