Criminal Court: Microsoft's email block a wake-up call for digital sovereignty Microsoft blocked the email account of Chief Prosecutor of the International Court of Justice after Trump's sanctions. Critics: β€œWe urgently need alternatives.”

This is huge news and underreported. @microsoft is following Trump's executive orders by blocking the emails of key staff at the IJC, this for investigating war crimes committed in Gaza.

This project is an international, EU-funded academic collaboration - and they need private investment partners now to validate scale this tech.

Europe, let's fucking go and make some homegrown, scalable innovation with positive impact πŸ‘ŠπŸΎ

See-through solar panels could turn skyscrapers into power stations See-through solar cells could turn entire skyscrapers into renewable energy power stations

Researchers have set a new efficiency world record for converting sunlight into electricity using transparent solar cells.

The breakthrough is a huge boost for renewable energy, allowing entire skyscrapers to serve as power stations by transforming their windows into solar panels.

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

Imagine if you read this as an Interpublic Group or Omnicom client, and then get a call from your account teams pushing you to spend on X.

I'd be fuming if my ad budgets were not being directed to grow my business, but instead to smoothen my agency's merger.

Strikes me that no one seems to be talking about the biggest cudgel Trump can use to force Ukraine to accept a deal; Starlink through Elon Musk.

Us in Europe can (and should) step up on the funding and security commitments, but I'm not sure we have an adequate replacement for Starlink

Side benefit of now having a 5-month old baby is that weekends are too filled with entertaining her to spend it all on social, especially when trying to catch up on sleep - doom scrolling is for the relative calm office days 😝
Jks aside, I'm following more entertainment/hobby stuff to reduce my doom

The bit that's telling, is even in the "worst" quote he's retweeting, @profgalloway.com still says "using the letter of the law".

I also don't care that the DOGE employees are young. I care they are committing illegal acts.
