The building exploding behind this man is a kindergarten. Part of Putin's Birthday celebrations have involved targeting anything that makes life bearable for Ukrainian civilians.

Trump is not only lying about the potential for such a deal to bring down diesel costs in US, he's setting Ukraine up to be the villain when his plan inevitably fails. Meanwhile, every dollar the US sends to Russia will go toward killing more Ukrainians. It is a lose-lose for everyone but Putin.

The amount of pro-Russia propaganda bots on Twitter is just mind-boggling. GIFs celebrating the suffering of Ukrainian civilians. Calls for Ukraine to stop fighting its "stupid, silly war" and join Russia. Everyone who isn't in the Kremlin is a Nazi. You couldn't pay me to rejoin that "town square."

Elon Musk didn't design the Falcon 9, which went on to become the most reliable and cost-effective rocket in history. Now, he's abandoning it in favor of his personal Starship design. Musk also didn't design Tesla's Model S, 3, X or Y. But he did design the Cybertruck. The similarities are uncanny.

Terrifying. “So unalterably subjugated to Trump is today’s Republican House that even a decisive victory for Democrats & a resounding repudiation of Trump & the MAGA Republicans at the polls in Nov will not guarantee that a Democratic majority-elect will be seated in the 120th Congress on Jan 3.”

It's weird to see Bluesky getting more infected by Trump's "elections can easily be rigged" narrative. Computer science is not magic. Musk is corrupt as hell, but he can't make votes appear out of thin air. By all accounts, the 2024 election was just as legitimate as 2020. It's scary, but true.

This video summarizes my opinion pretty accurately. Putin would love nothing more than to have some kind of justification for the upcoming Russian mass mobilization. Bombing civilian trains to try to goad NATO into a military response is par for the course, the same as the drone attack in Germany.

Putin has been trying to assassinate Zelenskyy ever since Russia invaded Ukraine, but this is as close as Putin's ever gotten—and in an EU country no less. If Putin had succeeded, he may well have triggered WW3. The world is a tinderbox right now, and demagogues are playing with matches.

So the future of warfare is basically the US and China mass-producing armed, AI-powered drones that will lie in wait in order to destroy a country. Plus they're so cheap and easy, everyone else is building them. Humanity really looked at climate change and said "Nah, let's go full dystopia instead."
