We have GOT to work with Europe to start building these essential technologies for ourselves. Yes, it’s a big investment, but putting national security in Musk’s hands is like leaving your balls dangling in a lion’s mouth just to keep them in the shade.

I'm a rando, when an economist tells you to wake the fuck up and forego efficiency, pay attention.

Palantir is owned and run by techno-fascist crazies who are allied to the Trump regime. Whatever efficiency gains using them promises the UK should not allow critical state functions to become dependent on their services, which we can reasonably fear will be used as leverage to blackmail us.

Belarus's opposition leader in exile Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, like politicians in all of the countries neighboring fascist Russia, knows how to deal with the Kremlin. Western leaders in countries further to the west should listen to their colleagues in the east of the West.

So Aneurin Barnard, our Rogue Trooper, is out here in Annecy, to help promote the film at the festival and went proper HERO today, chasing down, rugby tackling & holding a bag snatcher who had robbed a little old lady in front of him today. Held him till police arrived and then gave the handbag

Gratified by contributing towards Ukraine's defence, always impressed by the resourcefulness of @wildhornets.bsky.social and the skill of the FPV pilots. Seeing them using drone I named to take down Russian killing machines, leaves a feelling that it is a worthwhile thing to do, please consider it.

Så fint.

Five rescue workers were killed by a Russian follow-up strike on Kharkiv... Such a tragedy. Deepest condolences... They were putting out a fire caused by the first attack when Russia launched a second strike. At least five more rescuers were injured.

really not liking how "protect the children" is the lever in which everything gets moved with.

This is the tipping point, this goes through without revolt, US needs to be treated completely as the USSR by Europe. Full justified tinfoil.

A year after the Strategic Defence Review was agreed, the UK government has decided not to fund its own review. In doing so, it is not merely failing to move forward — it is actively going backwards.

NHS can't find the privacy we're looking for.

It will definitely work this time.

We are deeply split today. Between those who can recognize scumbags like Elon Musk, and those who are easily taken in by wealth as an acceptable substitute for morality. X is a foreign agent acting as an enemy of the UK. youtube.com/shorts/BWWls...

Highly recommended summer read, if you thought the economics of war couldn't be accessible and entertaining, this book proves otherwise.

I don't think it ends there. His view that the NHS should be replaced by private insurance. Brexit - a strength turned into a weakness. His admiration for Putin and equanimity towards Ukraine.

It's funny how Nationalists are overwhelmingly the same people engaging in treasonous behaviour.

There is no room for debate. The Far Right propaganda has consumed people.

As a Rejoiner, I kind of hope he doesn't, because he'd taint the brand with his own Reform-lite-fumbled pragmatism. Better to get him out of the way and for a cleaner skin to make exactly the same move/gamble.
