🚨 Big news: France confirms it will support the designation of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organisation. Since France was the key holdout, unanimity is closer than ever before. Will it happen tomorrow?

TikTok has been under new leadership for like a day and I made a slideshow with posts from the ICE rally today and it immediately got out under review and is not being published. Incredible.

A reminder that one of the new owners of TikTok is Larry Ellison who also now owns CBS News…

Odds of a mining bonanza in Greenland are abysmally low • Getting mine running in Arctic can cost 2-3 times as much as equivalent project at lower latitudes • Island’s two big rare-earth projects have been plagued by difficulties and have yet to start operations www.economist.com/briefing/202...

Serbia’s president Vučić says Ukraine joining the EU from January 1, 2027 is part of a peace plan to end the war. He said the plan would bind not only Ukraine and Russia but much of the international community, and that EU rules would be changed despite opposition from several member states #Ukraine

Ukrainian tennis player Oleksandra Oliynykova spoke out at Australian Open,asking for support for🇺🇦: Last night I spent in Ukraine before the trip here,here was an explosion just near my home&a Shahed drone hit the home just across the road.My apartment was literally shaking because of the explosion

I haven’t had electricity for over 48 hours; it just returned, and I’m afraid to turn anything on because it feels like it could turn off any second. Still no heating.

Ok, this made me chuckle. 58% of Swiss say: “I would like neutrality to be interpreted in such a way that Switzerland can join a defence alliance such as NATO if the threat increases.” Which is a hilarious question & position as joining NATO is the end of neutrality.

NORWAY PM: I HAVE REPEATEDLY CLEARLY EXPLAINED TO TRUMP THAT IT IS AN INDEPENDENT COMMITTEE THAT AWARDS THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE

This problem might very well soon find its solution www.politico.eu/europe-poll-...

I’m reading warnings about a massive russian attack, with the goal of a total blackout in Kyiv for several days. We’ve been advised to charge all devices. I will. I will… when we have electricity 🙈

Alle relevanten Ukrainischen Beobachterkanäle warnen vor einem massiven russischen Luftangriff in der kommenden Nacht. Diese russische, inhumane Drecksbande will die Ukraine - pünktlich zum WEF - in einen totalen Blackout stürzen. 🤬 Was ich russland und seinen Zombies wünsche, schreibe ich nicht.

French vehicle manufacturer Renault will start building long-range attack drones at its Le Mans and Cléon plants. Renault will produce up to 600 of the drones per month, with some employees voluntarily transferred from the automotive chassis and motor lines.

Dugin: the countries of Central Asia and the South Caucasus should not be sovereign. According to him, Moscow should not tolerate the existence of independent Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan.

Was übersehen wird: Das entsenden einer winzigen Vorauseinheit aus 8 Ländern hat beim 🍊 Arschloch dazu geführt, dass er bereits vor militärischen Massnahmen gekniffen hat und nun mit Zöllen kommt. Zeit zu drohen, man wird die US Bonds auf den Markt werfen, oder seine Tech-Busenkumpels besteuern. 😏

French President Macron on Trump’s Greenland threats: “No intimidation nor threat will influence us, neither in Ukraine, nor in Greenland, nor anywhere else in the world… Tariff threats are unacceptable and Europeans will respond to them in a united and coordinated manner.”

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei appeared in public after protests began, calling the U.S. president a “criminal” for alleged actions against the Iranian people. His comments come amid rising unrest and pressure on Tehran. #IranProtests

Activist Ilia Hashemi reports that some Iranians briefly regained internet access early Saturday, allowing them to upload footage from Tehran, Isfahan, and Mashhad. The videos, filmed around Jan 8-9, show fires and clashes, including at a state TV building in Isfahan.

Senator Lindsey Graham said help for Iran’s people “is on the way,” warning that without U.S. backing, Iran risks a disaster worse than Afghanistan. He called the regime’s removal “good for America” and urged Trump to support Iranians. #IranProtests

Der italienische Zoll hat ein unter Sanktionen stehendes Schiff der russischen „Schattenflotte“ festgesetzt. Das Schiff transportierte 33.000 Tonnen Eisen, das in Noworossijsk geladen worden war. GUT! Aber… Warum zur Hölle erst jetzt? Warum zur Hölle nicht alle diese Schiffe in der ganzen EU? 😡

New footage coming out of Karaj, Gohardasht district on Friday, Jan 9. Lots of protestors were out on the streets with blazes everywhere and lots of destroyed vehicles.

CNN reports: U.S. officials confirm any strike on Iran would exclude ground troops, with no intent for a long-term military intervention. Meanwhile, Iran’s IRGC commander vows decisive retaliation if strikes occur, accusing Trump and Netanyahu of killing Iranian youth and security forces.

Again, I’m going to keep banging the lonely drum that the fact that we are threatening the territorial sovereignty of our closest allies is a gross violation of our UN & NATO treaty obligations, poses a massive threat to national security & world order, & should immediately end this presidency.

German authorities have issued a new NOTAM cautioning German airlines from entering Iranian airspace - Flightradar24

"Do you think it would be a good idea or a bad idea for the U.S. to use military force to take possession of Greenland from Denmark?" Good idea: 4% Bad idea: 71% (Ipsos) 4%. He did it. He finally hit Lizardman's Constant.

US Air Force aircraft have begun evacuating from Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar. Six KC-135R Stratotankers have just departed Doha amid rising tensions, as the US prepares for a possible strike on Iran and anticipates potential retaliation.

In a letter to UN chief Guterres, Iran’s FM accused “terrorist elements” of sabotaging peaceful protests and carrying out violence “in the style of ISIS,” citing killings and burnings. Tehran called U.S. human rights claims misleading, rejected all foreign intervention.

The United States needs military access to Greenland, which it already has, to defend the Arctic, which it already does, from Russian and Chinese ships, which aren’t actually there, and this is so important we should destroy the Western alliance to get it, do I have that right?

Arms manufacturing giant Rheinmetall has received a site in Ukraine to build a munitions production plant, the company says via Ukrinform. Rheinmetall is fulfilling its commitments and already has an active contract to supply equipment for the future factory.

Falls jemand fragen sollte: Die militärische und fiskalische Zeitenwende in Deutschland begann im November 2025...

My understanding is that this is a very serious rebuke to Trump & Vought insofar as science funding remains basically at 2024 levels. NASA in particular was ready for a bloodbath. A ways to go yet but a tremendous win for scientists who have been working their asses off to lobby for their jobs.

We presented results on spatial unit roots etc at ASSA 2026 in Philadelphia. Joint work with @pdavidboll.bsky.social and @jvoth.bsky.social Short 🧵 (1/N) cc @andreamatranga.bsky.social @paulgp.com

With David Boll and Sascha Becker -- coming soon to a theatre near you -- a new and exciting no-motion-picture "should you distrust cross-sectional spatial data?" [spoiler alert - you can relax, it's not so bad]

Vergesst nicht (liebe Qualitätsmedien), dass die Russen ständig und mit allem lügen. Erstens haben sie jede Menge solcher erbeuteten Controller. Zweitens benutzen sie sie selbst und können dort jede beliebige Route einprogrammieren – nur damit Trump - und Teile im Westen - es glaubt. 🤷‍♂️

But let's be honest, it will also induce a bit more reckless driving by cyclists, as the Waymo can be trusted to stop. Red lights, intersections etc. So we need to continue to build proper infrastructure for cyclists, to avoid conflicts with cars and pedestrians.

Fully endorse. I experience so many instances as a cyclist in London involving a car which a Waymo would not have caused. Speeding. Reckless overtaking. Going over red lights (yes, cars). The -83% make sense to me.

Also, "contributed by" articles should probably be entirely done away with at PNAS. This dirty little secret is that this provides a way for NAS members to get questionable work in at a high profile outlet with less stringent peer review. It's corrupt and it's anti science.

Still unreported, should be investigated: ICE shot Richard outside a mall. I visited mall security office. Guard said ICE and LAPD came in, used thumb drive to copy mall’s video footage, and THEN DELETED THE EVIDENCE from mall’s local drives. He showed me the missing timeline part saying “no data.”
