It’s not science fiction that makes us nervous about of autonomous weapons platforms breaking free of human command- it’s history.

Control of warriors has been an unending struggle.

The founding myth of the English is of mercenaries who topple a kingdom.

Man bija tieši šis jautājums, kāpēc ir sižets par random cilvēku, kurš sarakstījies ar Epstīnu, kas sagadīšanās pēc ir latvietis. Provinciāla pieeja - redz, arī te ir latvietis.

Something is awry in higher education. Indiana University agrees to pay the football coach more than $100 million, shortly after cutting hundreds of academic programs. www.espn.com/college-foot...

Aicinu visus, kurus interesē vēsture un kuriem šķiet svarīga nozares attīstība, nobalsot par Gada vēsturnieku 2025. Ceru, ka mums izdosies atrast un novērtēt lielisku vēsturnieku. www.vesturesbiedriba.lv/gadavesturni...

Vai nu lapas apakšā, vai arī pēc teksta. Maksimāli vienkārši. Akadēmisks teksts ir darba instruments.

esmu ar Muraško bārā stundu diskutējis par veidu kā viņš kārto atsauces. Man tas šķiet neveiksmīgs un akadēmiskiem tekstiem nederīgs, bet jā, let's agree to disagree...

University is not a business, students are not customers, education is not a product, researchers are not salespeople.

Opus Dei ļoti prasmīgi vervē (cits vārds nenāk prātā) cilvēkus. No pieredzes zinu.

pilnībā piekrītu!

es uzreiz ietu ieņemt Sāmsalu. Galu galā Sāmsala kopā ar Pilteni (veco Kurzemes bīskapiju) 16. gs. vidū piederēja Johanam Minhauzenam un tad Dāņu princim Magnusam. Mums Sāmsala ir nepieciešama nacionālajai drošībai. Pārāk ilgi (astoņus gadsimtus vismaz) tā ir bijusi mums drauds.

šī nebija ļoti priecīga saruna, bet manuprāt svarīga lr1.lsm.lv/lv/raksts/br...

Everyone freezing on the East Coast or in the Midwest remember: Kyiv has the same weather, except that hundreds of thousands of people don't have electricity, heating or running water

Rinkēvičs respektē Mieriņas personisko nostāju par Nobela Miera prēmijas piešķiršanu Trampam Valsts prezidents Edgars Rinkēvičs respektē Saeimas spīkeres Daigas Mieriņas (Zaļo un Zemnieku savienība) personisko nostāju, parakstot Nobela prēmijas komitejai adresētu vēstuli ar rosināju...

Gan Mieriņas rīcība, gan šī retorika no @edgarsrinkevics.bsky.social puses Latvijai rada neuzticama partnera reputāciju. Haotiska valsts, kurā līdzās oficiālajai nostājai pastāv arī amatpersonu personīgās pozīcijas. www.lsm.lv/raksts/zinas...

Trump Announces New European Tariffs in Greenland Standoff; Allies Outraged

NYT will sanewash the Trump administration into authoritarianism. Obviously, this is not a "standoff", it is a shakedown.

Also, any European politicians who still thinks the current U.S. is an "ally" is delusional and incompetent. The Trump administration is an adversary at best, an enemy at worst.

MI radīti?

“In 1943, the Norwegian author Knut Hamsun travelled to Germany and met with Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. After returning to Norway, he sent his Nobel medal to Goebbels as a gesture of thanks for the meeting.”

I went to QMUL, and all I got is my PhD.

Are you writing about #Greenland and looking for expertise on the tense geopolitical situation? (unless you trust US AI chatbots to do the trick, of course 🙃)
The University of Southern Denmark @sdu.dk has a team of experts ready to help 🔽

Time to stop writing articles about the "security" or "economic" reasons to capture Greenland, they are irrelevant

paldies @aidistomsons.bsky.social par lielisko interviju. Mierīgi, ar precīziem jautājumiem liek pašam Brokam uzkāpt kokā un nekāpt no tā lejā.

un Broks saka, ka Saeimas deputātam ir jānāk vienreiz nedēļā, jāiedziļinās un jānobalso... viņš nav dzirdējis par darbu Saeimas komisijās un tikšanos ar vēlētājiem...

Broks neslēpj pārsteigumu par viņa kustības solījumu samazināt valsts parādu 35% no IKP un saka, ka tas šis nav viņa aicinājums.

Broks daudz runā, maz konkrētības un atzīst, ka neizprot valsts procesus.

The orange man in the White House and his dwarf friend in the Kremlin make me depressed, yet this joyful song always uplifts my spirit youtu.be/XSiaG9MOLUM?...

Whenever Trump does something crazy, people try to rationalize it. Now, they're saying it was Venezuela's "heavy, sour crude" that made him kidnap Maduro. I think the truth is much scarier and less strategic: He simply enjoys the feeling of power and humiliating his opponents.

Medieval ship discovered off Copenhagen may be the world’s largest cog - Medievalists.net A medieval cargo ship of extraordinary size has been found in the waters off Copenhagen. Built around 1410, Svælget 2 is being called the world’s largest cog, and its remarkably preserved remains are…

Not sure people are getting the real importance of the Russians fooling Trump about the Ukrainians attacking Putin's house. It was to demonstrate just how much they control his thinking--how much he is in their pocket. And it worked.
