Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.
"I can confirm that tonight SpaceX has implemented a speed limit on Starlink terminals while in motion.

The limit currently applies to the StarShield “military package” and is set at 100 mph.

Our defense forces were not given notice of this limit, and this has resulted in the disruption of a number of missions.

It is clear that this action cannot be a coincidence and is related to the current political situation."

That was also very significant. But on such a right race the Russian influence was probably decisive. Also the remain campaign was abysmal.

Astonishing. One of the most boring, middle of the road and actually irritating DJs. Worse is that he showed promise in his early days. I suppose it mirrors the baffling popularity of dreary bands like Coldplay.

What are these 'benefits'? Is it the endless slop polluting the internet? The environmental vandalism of pampered Nvidia chips while we have homeless people on the streets? Or is it the threat of total human annihilation? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

“Labour has so thoroughly committed to fighting Reform, psychologically and emotionally, that the Tories now barely even register.” Interesting from Starmer’s former speechwriter Alan Lockey on why the Tories would be a tougher main opponent for Labour than Reform. www.arguably.uk/p/labour-isn...

Labour isn’t ready for a Tory comeback
Kemi Badenoch could prove a far tougher opponent than the toxic Nigel Farage

Interesting stuff in the Anthropic IPO disclosures, according to the figures for every $1 they’ve earned they’ve incurred $2.77 in costs. So they’re even *less* profitable than OpenAI with their $2.63 spend per $1 earned
