Good news. Elon Musk is attacking the EU.

Him feeling threatened by it is incredibly validating.

Republicans don’t let the truth get in the way of their story. I think #Zelenskiy should respond in kind.

He should write out a set of terms #Ukraine would accept to end the war and then present them as the slightly revised version 1.2 of Trumps plan.

That is how you do and don’t abide.

I have zero issue with Sci-Fi future films zooming and enhancing.

Cop shows with CC TV? Get out.

Putin only has two goals for Alaska:
1) Stop #Ukraine getting any US help.
2) Stop Russia from getting any US hinderance.

All else is smoke, mirrors and bullshit.

Yes, I figured when I thought it. Living in a relatively small densely populated island (the UK vs the US), we tend to exclusively have no internet or broadband as the minimum.

@ernie @mattl @VioletPixel
I’m shocked!

I didn’t know it still was a thing!

By rescue I concede it is ruined, but it would be a fair approximation with known impact by a know source and known reference colours. I wouldn’t use it on that shot but in imagining wedding photos being lost on the way home, a bespoke model could rescue something usable.

All I really want is a law that says data servers must use only green energy and only sea water for cooling.

@davidimel @Gargron
In the rare actual use case for AI, AI could rescue it.

@georgetakei
Also my conclusion.
Trump knows he’s incompetent, which is why he’s always trying to insert himself into others success instead of actually achieving things with all the tools available to US presidents.

@randahl
If this is the same thing, it’s just a media invention. Georgie talks about it.

To me it’s like saying people with brown eyes are optotypical and now we are looking in peoples eyes we are starting to diagnose people with blue eye disorders.

We have variation in every part of our body yet we only recognise a single neuro pattern. It’s Victorian. Evolution doesn’t work that way and the starting premise should be one of expectation of diversity, especially with a tribal existence that has been in place longer than we have been human.

#LanguageMatters and we need to start saying ‘identified’ not diagnosed. As a self-identified ADHDer I can tell you that my brain says this Victorian medicine is a pile of shit before it starts and I promise you, I am far from impaired.

This truce is Putin leveraging the USA against #Ukraine. The truce has the fiction of holding where it suits Russia to establish a bridge or lay mines. Where not they are assaulting.

Putin is responsible for this invasion and Trump is not helping Ukraine. He is helping Russia.

Trump has achieved the impossible!

Canada is pissed!

TL;dr
• Russia needs a ceasefire but can’t say so
• Trump thinks Ukraine wants a ceasefire but they don’t* but must say they do
• *Ukraine doesn’t need a ceasefire as much as Russia does
• Allies don’t want a ceasefire but propose one believing it’s impossible… to flip Trump

You up to speed now?

MAMA?

As per USAID, you can’t fully undo the Tariff damage by turning them off again. You’ve just created a political uncertainty spike with national relations, recognised as increased volatility.

Put simply, Mexico and Canada sure as shit don’t trust the US now and will continue to avoid trade.

If there is one message I want to communicate to people this year it’s:

Joy is resistance.

This #Zelenskiy-Churchill V for Victory and the more modern V for ‘up yours Putin’ is my favourite #NAFO patch.

#Ukraine

Watch the money. Always watch the money.

When we see economists and central bankers defect, we will know Russia is about to collapse. There will be a narrow window when they can get out with reduced fear of retribution because they expect the house to collapse on the FSB behind them.
