Greece sadly is tying itself to the US chariot, with the deal for natural gas and the deals with US oil companies for drilling. Shame as it has lots of renewable energy potential as is. The rest of the world smartly moves in the renewable energy direction.

Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different.

Palantir’s vision is the philosophy of Nazi political theorist Carl Schmitt dressed up in jeans and a hoodie. It is fundamentally anti-humanist, presents permanent conflict as inevitable, and seeks to build a technocratic power structure without even the minimal constraints of democracy.

Le rappeur américain a perdu ces dernières années de nombreux fans et plusieurs contrats commerciaux après des propos antisémites et racistes. Les autorités britanniques ont aussi décidé, début avril, de ne pas autoriser son entrée au Royaume-Uni.
