Every country needs to be following Finland's lead here. Media literary skills are going to be crucially important in the age of AI, where knowing what's real and what's not is going to be increasingly difficult apnews.com/article/fake...

Viktoriia Roshchyna, 27, was a Ukrainian journalist who was detained by Russia, tortured, and had her organs removed. Russia is a terrorist state.

Ukrainians when the world goes crazy:

You don’t negotiate with Russian terrorists who fire missiles with cluster ammunition warheads at playgrounds and killing 9 children, as happened in Krivyi Rih. You send those Russian terrorists straight to hell and break their remaining empire into pieces. Period.

Went to downtown DC to watch them remove the Black Lives Matter mural and wrote about how the removal of such symbols reflects government policy priorities. How the removal of the BLM mural reflects the administration’s desire to remove Black people and history from large segments of American life.

“One of the least noticed items … is the centrality of Saudi Arabia to the negotiations. And it raises a damning question – why should the future of a European war in Ukraine be decided: — Without Ukraine — Without NATO & Europe — Between Trump and a dictator — While hosted by another dictator”

Three years ago, on February 10, 2022, Lavrov publicly stated that after drills in Belarus, Russian troops would not invade Ukraine but would return home. Two weeks later, Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

This might be a hot take but personally, I would like it if good things started happening again too.

Congratulations! We are all within hours of surviving 2024 & ready to face the challenges of the decade that will be 2025.

We are asking Ukrainians to defeat the armies of Putin and Kim Jong Un. In their efforts to do so, Ukrainians helped bring down Assad. Ukrainian resistance is one of the most stunning military achievements in modern history.

You've heard the phrase "life is what happens while you're making other plans." Well the "life" that's going to happen is going to be convulsed in ways few are able/willing to imagine. These conferences, initially well intended, are now nothing more than extravagant exercises in absurdist theater.

Trump is poised to rack up more foreign policy wins in the early days of his presidency than many people appreciate. @ianbremmer.bsky.social explains the three reasons why his ability to get points on the board will be greater than his first term for @gzeromedia.bsky.social:

Awful. OpenAI (and other AI cos) are making a hard push for getting AI into K-12 schools, which they see as a burgeoning market. Most teachers I've spoken to, meanwhile, say AI is terrible. Outside of computer class, there should be no gen AI in K12 schools, period. techcrunch.com/2024/11/20/o...
