Er is een redelijke grote kans denk ik dat we de komende maanden een verdere escalatie gaan zien rondom Oekraïne waarbij ook de EU-landen meer actief bij de oorlog betrokken zullen raken. Poetin heeft een belang bij horizontale escalatie van het conflict. Ik hoop dat we er klaar voor zijn.
Daarbij hoort ook nadenken over wolfraam.

In my case Mastodon x Bluesky 😁
Let's see how far they'll come by the end of 2027 ^^

Former Trump administration official Ty Cobb spoke at length Saturday about what he described as Donald Trump’s “frontal lobe illness,”
the “signals” of which were evident when comparing his behavior between administrations.
“He’s always been a malignant narcissist,
but that narcissism now has no frontal lobe restraints,” Cobb said,
speaking to former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan in a video published Saturday by Zeteo.

Over on Bluesky @… posted about the spate of companies picking kind of fucked up names for their selves out of fantasy and science fiction, and someone in the comments mentioned how many AI companies there are with the name “Horcrux” and I remembered that I have a tool named “Horcrux email” (mail backup and migration) from like 2015 (which is, I think before J.

The problem is that Iran knows this too....All Trump's threats about escalation look quite empty.

Quite a lot of journalists and political columnist types find progressives more irritating than they find Nazis off-putting.

At least 80% of the world lives under light-polluted skies
—a figure that rises to 99% in America and Europe.
A paper published in Science found that between 2011 and 2022 the night sky grew almost 10% brighter each year.
With so many places awash with artificial light, people are increasingly seeking out the darkness.

Bluesky was one of the bigger beneficiaries of the exodus from Elon Musk’s X in November 2024,
following the U.S. elections.
But now, nearly two years later, the social network and would-be X competitor is struggling to hold on to its momentum.
According to data from digital intelligence provider Similarweb,
Bluesky’s mobile app had 10.4 million monthly active users worldwide in June 2026,
-- down 27.2% year-over-year.
In addition, mobile daily active us…

The cover of Newsweek International bears the text:
“TRUMP WAS RIGHT (ABOUT VENEZUELA),”
with a cartoon depiction of a giant Trump wearing a safari-style outfit
while holding a fuel pump.
The White House joined Trump in sharing the image on X, along with the caption “TRUST IN TRUMP.”
The cartoon depiction of Trump mirrors almost exactly a famous 1892 illustration of Cecil Rhodes,
who in the cartoon is seen in a near-identical position and size,

— 4.2 F, or 2.3 C higher.
Europe's record-breaking heatwave would have been virtually impossible without human-caused climate change, scientists say.

Anthony Scaramucci,
— who lasted about eleven days as Donald Trump's communications director in 2017,
says he finally understands a children's story that puzzled him as a boy
— thanks to the man he once worked for.
In a post shared with his followers, the former White House aide turned vocal Trump critic offered a blunt assessment of the president's fitness,
writing that Trump "is not well and he's probably too old for the job."

I hear a longstandingly mentally ill man,
a narcissistic sociopath who is cognitively declining in his elder years,
becoming increasingly disinhibited.
We don't know exactly what his health is ...
He's obviously physically unwell.
— he's drooping on one side.
Did he have a left hemisphere CVA?
We don't know any of that, because they obviously would lie to us about any of it

Published earlier this week,
“Regime Change”
was written by Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan,
and had already rattled the White House before its release,
with officials fearful that the book’s authors had acquired audio recordings from within the White House Situation Room,
arguably the most secure area of the complex where top officials discuss matters of crises and national security.
“There’s something in the book that hasn’t gotten near…

A new piece of legislation aims to avert a Social Security crisis
by fast-tracking a solution before cuts are imminent.
But Democrats are torn:
Some say, far from saving the program, the bill could give Republicans an opening to raise the retirement age or cut benefits.
The bipartisan bill, dubbed the "Protecting Retirement Opportunities and Maintaining Income Security for Everyone", or PROMISE, Act,
calls for the nonpartisan Social Security Advisory B…

Russia’s net gain in the first half of 2026 is just 97 sq km (37 sq miles),
according to Institute for the Study of War figures.
“If Putin wants to send another million of his soldiers to keep fighting against this wall,
then these million Russians,
who have not yet been mobilised into the Russian army
and are queuing for gasoline,
should think about what awaits them next,” said Ukraine’s president.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy was referring to the 1.4 millio…
