I do appreciate the US state department strengthening my case here with their sanctions on former EU officials & other supporters of EU digital safety acts just now: berthub.eu/articles/pos...

Full attack on EU, democracy and privacy laws...

The State department continues to use false allegations of "censorship" to censor people, or in this case sanction them www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/t...

The American government is banning regulators from other countries at the request of the richest man in the world, in a display that confirms they will punish any country not willing to sell their digital sovereignty as cheaply as the US has www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/t...

This is a huge attack on Europe and the legitimate privacy protection rules the EU has crafted. I find it a huge escalation. I honestly think Europe should retaliate and ban Musk and the other head of social media attacking the continent and flirting with Nazi groups from entering Europe

È di una gravità inaudita. Io inizierei a bloccare l'ingresso in Europa a Musk e Suck, oltre che ad un paio di ministri Usa in carica

The Trump administration Is really focused on breaking the EU and attacking any democracy defending it's citizen from overreaching tech and social media companies. This requires a strong answer indeed. I'd ask the EU to forbid Musk from entering the region in exchange

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Beyond parody. We have an attorney general who is covering up the Epstein Files and a President who is proud he could identify a giraffe

No blood for oil

Imbarazzante se fosse un tizio al bar, inconcepibile da una carica pubblica, veramente una caduta in basso perfino per Trump -- che ci ha abituato al peggio

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control. All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Yay!!! My book “Process Over Magic: Beyond Vibe Coding” is now live on the Pragmatic Programmers site: pragprog.com/titles/ubaid... I hope this book helps people adopt a workflow that fits their situation. I worked hard to show how different techniques behave in different contexts.

Pretty crazy that nearly all of the EU Commission is still on X even as Elon Musk is literally talking about destroying the EU. You can leave X. It's really not that difficult.

Chiudere X in EU sarebbe un primo inequivocabile segno che il nostro continente non è più disponibile a farsi intossicare dalla propaganda ostile americana.

The Russian government represents Putin and his cronies. Musk represents himself.

Ho controllato più volte perché non potevo crederci. Dal 2026 tra le giornate gratuite per visitare i Parchi Nazionali negli USA è stato aggiunto il compleanno di Donald Trump e sono state cancellate la giornata di abolizione della schiavitù e quella di Martin Luther King.

OTD in 1994 Russia signed the Budapest memo, guaranteeing Ukraine's territorial integrity in exchange for their nukes, 44 Ukrainian Tu-22 heavy bombers and 1,068 Kh-55 cruise missiles. Which have been fired at Ukraine in this war.

Nel 1991 si svolse il referendum sull'indipendenza dell'Ucraina. Le percentuali del Sì, Donbas e Crimea compresi, tutto il resto è propaganda putiniana che anche i "nostri" ripetono a pappagallo dopo avendo disconnesso il cervello.

"If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder."

Steve Witkoff isn’t promoting peace. His interventions are helping Vladimir Putin and prolonging the war www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Sull'omicidio di Khashoggi, Trump ha dichiarato lapidariamente "Non piaceva a un sacco di persone. Queste cose possono accadere". Gente che ha osato dire cose simili sull'omicidio di Kirk ha perso il lavoro e la reputazione.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

Unemployment for an entire generation isn’t ‘quiet time.’ It’s a failing labor market and a warning sign for the economy.

Good statement from the US conference of Catholic Bishops

Wikipedia, the online nonprofit encyclopedia, is urging AI companies to stop scraping its pages and to use its paid API instead.

To be more precise, climate denial has been proven wrong, the climate emergency has been proven real, from data and even from direct experience

He also thinks water flows from north to south... because maps have the north above... I think this is even worse

And this is blatantly illegal, one should add. Real title: "OpenAI has no intention of respecting copyright laws or paying authors their fair share"

Si, ma si possono anche lasciare i neonati in ospedale, in modo più sicuro, e in completo anonimato. Meglio promuovere quello

DHS says our new piece is "dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate" but won't say why. Here's the story where we show with evidence that DHS spliced together clips spanning years and multiple locations to create its own reality. Gift link wapo.st/4nuDGwf

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Preliminary findings: 🚫TikTok & Meta failed to grant researchers adequate access to public data. 🚫Meta failed to provide simple ways to notify illegal content and to allow users to challenge moderation decisions. This is a duty, not a choice. link.europa.eu/JYQrBX

This looks extremely dangerous for the right to vote and the democracy overall

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

Italian Senator left Jeffrey Sachs literally speechless and shocked by calling him a liar and a propagandist. It happened on Prime Time Italian television. Priceless 🤩 [ENG SUB] (The 2nd part in the next tweet)

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

Renovation and tearing down a building to rebuild it from the foundation are slightly different concepts

The DHS is posting false pics as evidence to support the regime’s extrajudicial killings.

Apple's legendary #Pascal syntax poster from 1979. It was created by Jef Raskin to adapt the syntax of Bill Atkinson’s #Apple_Pascal compiler. The poster was over the desk of every programmer at #Apple and over the desks of many programmers outside of Apple. vintagecomputer.ca/the-history-...
