Agreed. Also remember that the Republican position is that U.S. soldiers who die for the country are "suckers" and "losers" in Trump's words.

…“Trump wants desperately to claim he produced a better nuclear deal than Obama did in 2015. He wants to be able to say he won a great victory. He wants Iran to surrender.” 👆✅ And as Iran won’t surrender, there’s a real risk the desperate LOSER orders a nuclear attack. Remove him now, #Congress‼️ 🚩

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski: “You know, we are in Europe sometimes castigated as a declining civilization. “But in Europe, we think that allowing people to go bankrupt for the sake of medical bills is not how a good society should be treating itself.”

Inside Moscow's elite Bauman University, a secret department trains the GRU's next-gen hackers, saboteurs, and spies. Leaked documents now expose how its graduates feed the units behind Russia's cyberattacks, election interference, and NATO sabotage.

Destroying civilian infrastructure is a war crime!"Feckless and clueless, Donald Trump is lost in Iran, unable to find a way out of the disastrous war he started. Once again, the US military is pummeling the country and, increasingly, its civilian infrastructure." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"Who Lost America" is a great title for a post analysing how EU Europe adapts to a world where the US may be intermittently incapable of projecting power effectively

As alway, our cartoonists nail it. #USDemocracy

A whole lot of people with otherwise progressive views suddenly get real mad when you talk about doing anything at all to address the scourge of speeding drivers killing people

Infinite rent- and profit-seeking have eliminated many of the third places that previous generations had available to them, so it’s no surprise that kids, having effectively been criminalized for existing, are pushing back.

this is one of the things i quit my job over

It is rarely ever framed in these terms but one thing I say often is that if Democratic leadership really wanted to defang one of the issues that has fueled the rise of the insurgent left, they could always moderate on Israel-Palestine and just adopt the median Democratic voter's view.

Did anyone seriously believe that the so called ceasefire with Iran was anything other than the white houses' way of hacking the 60 day limit till congressional approval. Will we see Iran holding out for 60 days I would be surprised to not see the exact same pattern...

Chatbots are biased toward verifiable facts and against self-serving authoritarian narratives MAGA is biased the other way

The public perception of what is left has been altered by some right wing people. Framed. "Democracy is woke and all that." "Democracy is left." "The constitution is woke."

Genuinely the guy is like "yeah, some settler gangs kidnapped me, but let's still send the state more bombs and interceptors". This shouldn't be hard to outflank!

When AI creeps into hospitals, will it change the way doctors approach their patients? Of course it will, the question is how. This includes the dangers of deskilling. If we defer our judgement to systems, how will we know when the systems are wrong? Brilliant essay!

Has a CNN anchor ever played devil's advocate on behalf of the people who have lived under the longest military occupation in the entire history of the postwar international order? An occupation that the World Court ruled illegal two years ago?

related, I have sent this @drewmagary.bsky.social column to so many people lately. it really speaks to the moment of what ALL publishers — of any size, content type, funding model — are up against right now

Thank you @eeineu.bsky.social

For republicans, sexual violence is not a deal-beaker.

"The AI build-out... is increasingly financed not by selling overpriced equity but by contracting future cash flows and borrowing against hardware.... That is not the architecture of 2000. That is the architecture of 2008." www.groundbrkr.com/p/the-second...

only Americans can be *self-righteous* about corruption

very very funny to see American progressives not only praising the suspension of the Balogan red card but also attacking “Europeans” who aren’t happy about it, Americans just can’t help Americaning when it comes down to it

MEN IN BLAZERS: “A lot of 🇺🇸 fans are self-justifying, saying it shouldn’t have been a red card, justice has been done… that’s not how ⚽️ works. It’s delusion… think about how many unjust decisions have gone down — is this where we are? Politicians can phone a friend?”

The coach of the Norwegian team is appropriately clear: Rescinding the suspension of Balogun is a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad decision by FIFA.

People who spiral out overusing LLM chatbots are really just experiencing the kind of brain-damaging stream of unconditional validation that’s always been the norm for the hyper-wealthy, which explains a lot.

Frida Kahlo, Guillermo del Toro, Benito Juárez, Pancho Villa, Moctezuma, Fernando Maximiliano José María de Habsburgo-Lorena, your boys took one hell of a beating.

The positive of Balogun is it's the first time a Republican has intervened to reduce a black man's sentence.

I’m sorry, but what the flying fuck is this?!? What else has FIFA done to help the U.S. team? Did they rig the group stage lottery as well? Are the refs bought? Is it not enough to cheat in US elections, does Trump have to destroy the football World Cup as well? Disgusting!

Uh oh, someone is worried about their legacy...

The next Jesus Christ for sure won't be an American.

So this is the Reverse Deng: if Chinese EV or battery companies want to setup shop in Europe and capitalise from state support, participate in public procurement contracts, they must meet 4 of those 6 criteria.

Well, the next Jesus Christ will sure as shit not be an American.

Everyone is rightly focused on his "low wage foreigners" comment but I'm infuriated by the "we're going to restore dignity to the working class by bringing back manufacturing." NO YOU WON'T. MASS HIGH WAGE FACTORY EMPLOYMENT FOR NON-COLLEGE EDUCATED WORKERS IS NOT COMING BACK. YOU KNOW THIS.

⚡️ Denmark announces $670 million defense aid package for Ukraine. About 1.3 billion Danish kroner ($200 million) have been allocated to the so-called "Danish model," a mechanism under which a partner country provides direct funding to Ukrainian arms manufacturers.

dude it was a 5-4 ruling on a plain reading constitutional issue you should be sounding the alarm not taking a victory lap

Time to brush off the Tibetan flag fellow Danes. www.dr.dk/nyheder/sene...

With Elon Musk becoming our first trillionaire, I talked to American users of the rapidly growing “Almost Homeless” subreddit, who are struggling to stay housed amid a brutal job market and with social services slashed to the bone. They say this online community is crucial to their mental stability.

New trend in employment: “job-dropping.” Boils down to “if you like what you do and you earn enough money doing it, why would you want to leave in favor of a better-paying job you wouldn’t enjoy?” Especially when it would stress you out, & hurt your mental health. www.theguardian.com/money/2026/j...

It's now an indisputable fact, with no further judicial review, that Donald Trump sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll. The president of the United States is a sexual predator.

In Danish but with pictures: The Danish newspaper Politiken has mapped the huge environmental pollution left by the American military on Greenland. Oil, asbestos, radiation, PCB, you name it, it is there. Important documentation now that Trump pushes for Greenland again. No good will come of it.

Also, in a gold rush, the one profiting is the one selling shovels..

This. There's only so much human attention to go around, and AI (LLM) can flood the distribution platforms causing signal-to-noise ratio collapse. Result: nothing will surface in big enough chunks to pay creatives a living wage. Visibility goes pay-to-play, which means the house keeps winning...

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Genuine question: what's the actual business model for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google in LLMs? You can download most models for free and run them yourself. Investors are putting in billions. Into what, exactly? Ease of use? That has a very short horizon.
