Bonkers stuff in the NSS. It is like a far-right caricature of itself. The Trump admin believes it needs to save Europe from itself by backing far-right forces within Europe.

As State Dept reprograms funding, get ready for the US to be the funders of far-right civil society in Europe.
The new US National Security Strategy makes for scary reading. I wrote about how the US wants to support forces in Europe to tear itself apart back in November 2024, and last May. This NSS confirms that's exactly the US objective for Europe.

If you ever want to know the cult of genocidal support Israel has established in the "never again, unless" Europe, consider that Eurovision would overwhelmingly rather have a genodical apartheid country committing endless war crimes on board than the Netherlands, Spain, Ireland, and Slovenia.

New: AI chatbots can change voters' minds, according to a pair of in-depth studies published just now in Science and Nature.

How they do it is interesting — and concerning. Gift link: wapo.st/49RSstP
Voters’ minds are hard to change. AI chatbots are surprisingly good at it.
New research suggests AI chatbots can shift people’s political views more effectively than campaign ads on TV.

Looking for pictures of kitbashed Jackal Alphus models, even the original one with a slight change would be cool.

Het gedrag van Wilders doet me steeds meer denken aan dat van bv. randgroepjongeren: mensen die buitengesloten worden, gaan zich steeds meer misdragen omdat ze denken: als ik er toch niet bij hoor, doe ik waar ik zin in heb. Dit versterkt de uitsluiting, dus negatieve spiraal.
En dit is de reactie van de altijd hoffelijke man die een 1-mans partij leidt

I don’t know a lot.

But I know a lot about dinosaurs.

Now we all know dinosaurs lived for millions of years right?

But does you mind actually wrap around how long they dominated for?

Lets get a little perspective.

Did you know Allosaurus never saw flowers but T.rex did?

Haarlemmerhout, where Hannie Schaft, Truus Oversteegen and Freddie Oversteegen would take nazis to "liquidate" them. An honour to be in the same woods, with our little homages. It was so moving to literally follow the footsteps, I'll remember thus forever.
