For some reason "AI is just like watching Netflix" is back in my feeds so I took that as a sign to update my data tracking for Netflix. The company's energy use rose 1% from 2021 to 2024. Compare that to: Google: 71% Nvidia: 88% Meta: 96% Microsoft: 119%

A technical masterpiece -- and a big responsibility. The #Kiel #Canal in Germany is the busiest artificial waterway in the world. But keeping it operational is expensive.

It seems the velvet gloves are coming off, at least in some cases, when dealing with Russia’s shadow fleet in the Baltic Sea. Here’s one of them 🇸🇪👊

Rubio’s trip to Budapest, during which he endorsed Viktor Orban, the pro-Russian, Hungarian prime minister, made everyone even more suspicious. Orban does not want a strong, united Europe, but rather a weak and divided one. Maybe that’s now US policy too? buff.ly/uNMc2uo

But if Putin has failed in Ukraine, he’s succeeded extraordinarily in Washington. Since January 2025, Russia’s failure in Ukraine has been limited by the Trump administration, which has aligned with Moscow to try to force Ukraine into capitulation.

A state department spokesperson said it “consistently pushes back on #censorship and #digital #repression”, and that it is “reviewing and realigning US foreign assistance to move faster, operate more effectively, and innovate”.

3500M€:n jo tehdyt "säästöt" tuhosivat Suomen talouden ja nyt pääministerikin myöntää, että tiesi alunperinkin, että näin tulee käymään. Silti puolueet ovat sopineet n. 3x pahemmista "säästöistä" seuraavalle vaalikaudelle. Kukaan ei puhu sanaakaan kasvun edellytyksistä. Viimeinen sammuttaa valot?

After condemning 15 million Africans to death, the Trump administration has chosen to use some of the funds to pay bodyguards to a guy whose sole purpose is to destroy administration at home. Incidentally, this guy also lobbied against Finnish and Swedish NATO membership.

Tämä ajankohtainen tutkimus avasi silmiäni siitä, kuinka vähän lopulta tiedämme sosiaaliturvan pitkän aikavälin vaikutuksista. Tanskassa pakolaisten toimeentulotukileikkaus lisäsi lasten rikollisuutta, ja laski koulutustasoa, kouluarvosanoja, hyvinvointia ja työllisyyttä pitkällä aikavälillä.

These are the oligarchs who seek to rule every aspect of our lives, and the current US regime is doing everything possible to facilitate that because it is owned by them.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Ukrainian drones are everywhere, all the time, all along the 1,100-km front line of Russia's 47-month war on Ukraine. They're one of the main reasons why Putin's criminals are struggling to advance faster than a walking pace. But most FPV attack drones range just a few kilometers -

Will Lewis’s exit is long overdue. His legacy will be the attempted destruction of a great American journalism institution. But it's not too late to save The Post. Jeff Bezos must immediately rescind these layoffs or sell the paper to someone willing to invest in its future.

We at the @postguild.bsky.social are raising money for the hundreds of journalists the Post just laid off. This goes to the people who are hurting, not the Post. Or if you'd rather, go subscribe to an independent journalist. Support is hugely appreciated. www.gofundme.com/f/standing-t...

Just unbelievable how long we have been explaining this. We are not “former soviet” similarly to why we don’t say now former Nazi Germany or former Vichy France. In many countries it was a military occupation by a Soviet regime. You are erasing pre-occupation history. Erasing diversity.

I remember the celebration of this ⬇️ and had a tiny hope three years ago that things might get better. But no. The obsession with this term is still there across Western media.
