Why is Trump negotiating when Europe pays for everything and he’s a terrible negotiator acting in bad faith?

Hi all. Before our rapid rollercoaster descent into the economic abyss (?) let me remind you that not all computer science tools are AI, and many of them don't cost much to be useful. So please don't give up hope. Now buckle up and enjoy the ride. 🥴

I'm curious what UQ experts have to say about this analysis... 😎.

was trying to work out why people were posting their passwords and then I realized it was potential Dutch electoral coalitions

Prime Minister Dick Schoof called fresh elections following the first collapse of his government, which would go on to fall a second time within a few months.

Trump: the Japanese Knotweed of politics. 🌿

The one post I could find on Blue Sky about Selma van der Perre. She visited the Dutch school in London every year to share her incredible story and meet the children. Her last visit was only a few weeks ago. May she rest in peace. ❤️

What is this on our campus??

Voted in the Dutch election yesterday, and opted for @d66.nl this time. 👍

Citing the worrying poll, but not the papers debunking it. Perhaps a wrong choice?

I agree 👍

Dear community, last time you helped us reach lots of new BlueSky followers. Now that we see that there is an exodus on X, it is important that these people can also find us on BlueSky for all necessary updates about Ukraine. Would you like to share this message, preferably with a quote? Thanks!

My Retrospective on Wokeness in detail! Blogs are for just saying stuff, after all. So here is my attempt to say what was distinctive (if anything) about a recent era of socio-cultural life, what (if anything) changed, and what (if anything) was to the good sootyempiric.blogspot.com/2025/08/woke...

AI brain rot 101. Or is it 404? Let's see who can resist the rot 😅.

Idea for a Happy New Academic New Year gift from my 7yo daughter? 😅

Dear @stephencolbert.bsky.social, Thanks for all the years of speaking truth to power & finding the funny in fascism. Looking forward to following you wherever you land, Your fan, Mar🐫

The dept of computer science at Brunel University of London was recently awarded #AthenaSwan silver! Proud to be part of the team - read about it in the press release www.brunel.ac.uk/news-and-eve...

We don't win awards very often, but we won a Policy Impact Award the other day for our work :). www.brunel.ac.uk/news-and-eve...

How does one measure the quality of an assumption?

Countries should parade their scientific inventions, not their military hardware.

PVV left the Dutch government over semantics today. As an immigrant myself, I of course rejoice over the sudden weakness of Wilders.

BREAKING: We are suing the Trump admin on behalf of our members for unlawfully cutting off $400 million in federal funding for crucial public health research to force Columbia University to surrender its academic independence. Stay Tuned.

Witkoff uncritically repeated several inaccurate Russian claims regarding the status of the Ukrainian territories that Russia illegally occupies. 🧵(1/6) 1. The Russian invasions of Ukraine have never been about protecting Russian speakers. isw.pub/UkrWar032225

❗️🇺🇸Republican Jack Kimble: If Ukraine did attack Twitter as Elon Musk said, this is very serious. I invite Ukraine to conduct negotiations with me so we can bring peace to Twitter. Unfortunately, Elon holds no cards and doesn't own a suit, so we expect Elon will have to give up a lot.

arstechnica.com/ai/2025/03/w.... We automate our research using a now 15-year old tool. It's open source ($0/month), has led a to a swathe of additional papers, and doesn't produce confabulations. The image is a lie btw. one cannot scutinize LLMs reliably, unlike this man's scalp.

"The defeat of #Ukraine would be the defeat of Europe. The Baltic States, Georgia and Moldova are already on the list. Putin’s goal is to return to Yalta, where half the continent was ceded to Stalin." - French Senator Claude Malhuret made an excellent speech.

Let’s shout this loud & clear so maybe President Trump will hear it. President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country, a hero who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin youtu.be/HpmDquOkSCY?...

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

I missed this part. The mask really slipped off there...

Enigma Trump polymorphs into an open book as the masks slip off during the press conference. A moment of learning for Europe, I'd say.

Guys, I am peace signalling too actually... by making a bank transfer to you 👍.

Dark Pence is back.

Just 3% of Brits think Ukraine is responsible for the war. Trump has lost all allies. Entirely.

❗️The US gave us about $67 billion for weapons and $31 billion for budget programs, - Zelensky. "What Trump is telling us about the return of $500 billion in minerals is not a serious conversation, - Zelensky."

TBH I never liked CNN, but recently I feel their foreign affairs coverage has clearly improved: edition.cnn.com/2025/02/18/p...

Happily putting together a rudimentary plotting library together for agent-based models along with the rest of our SEAVEA Hackathon team. Yes, it's open and I will share it once we bang it into a decent shape :).

Hadn't seen this post, but the word "swasticars" independently popped into my head on Friday...

Submitted my first BUIDL today for a Dorahacks Hackathon here: I'm looking forward to taking part!! dorahacks.io/hackathon/se...

Fwiw. I stand with Greenland. 😅

Okay, *checks notes*: so Trump wants to take Greenland from Denmark AND he wants Denmark to greatly increase their military spending. I guess he likes to have a big showdown? 🤔
