Spanish news sites are carrying this story now but Wiki has more details. Apparently this Spanish hacker group have published payment details for 70,000 agents sent to Ceuta. The group published last week but their Telegram got shut down by request of Morocco govt. es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jabaroot

Musing on the overlap between the "5G causes COVID" people, and the "all datacentres are evil" people, and realised: 5G causes datacentres.

I'm using Fable to write skills for lesser LLMs. That makes sense, I think?... Fable's already identified that it needs to "author for the weakest consumer". Advice that applies to so many other fields.

The only explanation I can see is China buying ~20% more than it consumed, for YEARS; stashed it in some of its giant cave systems to withstand sanctions while invading Taiwan; and is now trading it for Trump staying out of the coming Taiwan events. Anyone do better? youtu.be/LbT9H6CLFfo?...

Like most of us, I probably call too much 'must-read'. This, however, really is must-read, from @tashecon.bsky.social @cepa.org. I've said for a long time that Europe can't afford to let Ukraine lose; now the financial costs of giving too little help earlier are soaring: cepa.org/article/ukra...

@jenniferrankin.bsky.social "The censure vote... could reveal discontent about her way of running the commission and aloofness from the parliament, the EU’s only directly elected institution." I look forward to the Guardian referring to the UK parliament as "UK's only directly elected institution".

Many tanker aircraft on their way from US to Israel, some via nearby Morón airbase. Maybe carrying jetfuel to replace Haifa refinery hit by Iran. Or may indicate imminent US joining war to attack Iran's deepest nuclear site, which requires multiple hits by US's heaviest bombs.
