If big tech companies can “donate” to Trump’s ridiculous “ballroom”, clearly they aren’t taxed *nearly* enough by the American people.

The bot theory is funnier than the real story, which is that Musk capped Starlink speed and Ukrainian drones stopped working mid-war. Either way a billionaire's mood is now a front line in somebody else's war, and Kyiv doesn't get a vote.

Elon Musk has just shown why Trump and the US are now the enemy within
Trump’s moves against Ukraine – including a diesel deal with Putin and a row over restricting Starlink – mean he must now be seen as a hostile force in Europe, explains world affairs editor Sam Kiley

It's the kind of auroras right now where it just looks like a greenish smudge to your eyes, but then you take a photo and it's ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE Please enjoy this lovely instrument (a camera) that lets us see a bunch of colours too faint for our eyeballs!
A nighttime scene, with silhouetted trees in the lower corners of the photos, and bright green auroras across the horizon, with some pink and red pillars above, almost blocking the Milky Way, visible vertically across the sky.Same idea as the previous photo, but now the  green in the lower part of the sky is also reflected by a small pond. More bright green auroras with red and pink pillars above, the Milky Way sticking up out of the middle, and a bit of green reflected in a small pond with silhouetted trees.
