16/ With Putin's spokesman Dmitri Peskov saying publicly that he can't imagine that Telegram could be of any value to the army, it seems clear that the Russian government aims to simply ignore the havoc that the current throttling is having on military communications. /end

Er USA igjen en venn? München (E24): USA har lørdag strukket ut en hånd til Norge og Europa. Vi gleder oss kanskje for tidlig.

Sikkert lurt av Marco å ikke nevne trusselen om å ta Grønland med makt. Det ville underminert hele 'vi vil samarbeide' budskapet i resten av talen

Ukrainsk F-16 skyter ned en russisk shaheed-drone. En av stemmene på videoen roper "Maladyets" (молодец), som betyr "Bra jobba".

NSA detected phone call between foreign intelligence and a person close to Trump Whistleblower says that Tulsi Gabbard blocked agency from sharing report and delivered it to White House chief of staff

The story here is not the unsurprising revelation of Trump team contact with hostile foreign intelligence (normalisation of treason?), but rather the way in which the whistleblower report of same has been covered up.

Polymarket har ikke veldig stor tro på at Khamenei forsvinner med det første, men gir det dobbelt så stor sjanse som at Jesus gjenoppstår i år

If that was true, then you can't mention Russia's role in WWII and not add the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact

Surveillance Is Already Here. This Is How People Push Back
YouTube video by The Casual Analyst Surveillance Is Already Here. This Is How People Push Back

Events in Minneapolis mean the resistance against an increasingly-authoritarian state is no longer hypothetical.

Targeted surveillance is real. No tool is foolproof. You can reduce risk, but can't eliminate it.

Minneapolis shooting latest: Alex Pretti’s parents say ‘please get the truth out’ after son fatally shot by federal agents Minnesota governor decries ‘federal occupation’ after another deadly shooting less than three weeks after ICE officer killed Renee Good in city

Wow! Executions in the streets. Even though the signs have been there for a very long time, It is surprising how fast the US has fallen into autocracy.

Nyttårssendingen på russisk statskanal. Det er alltid en reise inn i la-la-land å se på russernes offisielle nyttårsfeiring. Sitter igjen med en forsterket tro på teorien om at vi lever i en konstruert virkelighet.
For øvrig litt ekstra mind-boggling i år med en russisk versjon av 'pinkwashing'

Trump får en etterlengtet fredspris (FIFA sin da vel å merke)

Det er litt uklart hva poenget med å motta en fredspris fra en fotballorganisasjon er, om man ser bort fra at medaljen er gull verdt

Russisk propaganda - så veldig provoserende og fascinerende på en gang

Ukrainske angrep på Russland 'beviser at Ukraina ikke vil ha fred' eller er 'terrorisme'

Russiske angrep på Ukraina er 'frigjøring' eller 'å tvinge Ukraina til fred'

Putin is gambling with high stakes.
If he gives up on maximalist goals in negotiations, state stability will be in jeopardy.
If the Russian economy stops being able to fund the war, before they achieve their maximalist goals, the stability of the country will be in jeopardy.

Penger har tre bruksområder; verdioppbevaring, verdioverføring og betalingsmiddel. Bitcoin er for ustabilt til oppbevaring, for energikrevende til overføring og det er begrenset hvor det kan brukes som betalingsmiddel. Per nå er det kun nyttig for spekulasjon/gambling, og den svarte økonomien.
