Whether it's a Hillary Clinton staffer asking John Podesta how to make risotto or Elon Musk asking Jeffrey Epstein where he could find a party featuring child sex slaves, there's plenty of embarrassing emails on both sides.

I spoke to WNYC's On The Media about the Verification, Deliberation, Accountability framework I've developed, and how, without major interventions, it predicts the inevitable slide of democracies into populism, conspiracy, and, finally, authoritarianism

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

When the Russians at the negotiations in Abu Dhabi began to say something about the territories, Budanov turned to the speaker:
- Excuse me, but could you tell me your last name? And wrote something in a notebook.
The Russians did not talk about the territory anymore.

A salt water tankie. Cos Russia's navy has always sucked and our colonies were never over bodies of salt water, we had no colonies.

Eestis võeti vitt, munn ja mölakas ÕSist välja — tüüpiline näide, et sõnavabadus on Euroopas surnud.
Samal ajal USAs hukatakse protestijaid, lastakse vale meelsusega inimesi töölt lahti, surutakse vaba ajakirjandust kõrvale — tüüpilised näited, et sõnavabadus Ameerikas õitseb.

i think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices
Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”
Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

USA almost declared war on Canada. Now they diversified their portfolio of adversaries with whom to trade and reduce risk of exposure from insanity in the white house — Canada brought China to the table. Unfortunately this is sensible.
As critics attack Ottawa’s agreement last week to start allowing a small number of Chinese electric vehicles into Canada, China’s envoy to Ottawa says Beijing wants to partner with Canadian autoworkers to create good jobs and build cheaper cars.
