OTD in 1991 January events in Vilnius began. They are part of our "peaceful withdrawal from our own territory of the USSR" which Lithuania had joined "on a contractual basis".

14 died and 700+ injured "trying to stop is leaving" is how my tankies say it.

Health experts: Your synthetic text "AI" overviews are misleading, for example see this about liver function tests.
Google: Okay, we'll block "AI" overviews on that query.

The product is fundamentally flawed and cannot be "fixed" by patching query by query.

This is spot on. X is not primarily a social media platform anymore. It's a power space for America's neo-royalty, and other governments are afraid of Trump's anger if they leave.

That's why "our government communications now happen on a deepfake porn site", and nobody does anything.
X Is a Power Problem, Not a Platform Problem

Illicit cryptocurrency addresses received at least $154 billion in 2025. According to Chainalysis, almost two-thirds of the funds have been linked to sanctions evasion activity. Most came from Russian organizations

One of the organizations the US withdrew from is the European Centre for Countering Hybrid Threats.

That group primarily focuses on protecting European democracies from hostile Russian intelligence and military operations. Except the current US government hopes to see those hostile ops succeed.

Few thoughts on the Greenland saga, summarized in a short thread. Some of these points have already sparked debate on X, but after Miller’s speech, I am even more convinced. 🧵Thread

1/ First and foremost, Denmark is not only a member of the EU, but also a founding member of NATO.

There is a lot of speculation about whether Denmark would fight the US over Greenland. This misses the point that the biggest opposition to a US invasion will clearly come from the Greenlanders themselves. Is the U.S. willing to repeat Wounded Knee to get the locals under control?

1/ Vladimir Putin's heavy investment in the regime of Venezuelan former President Nicolás Maduro has been a costly and disastrous failure, according to Russian commentators. They admit that Russia is too weak to stop its allies from being picked off one by one by the West. ⬇️

When "confused" Trump supporters say "I thought he was just gonna deport the criminals" you need to remember we arent talking about criminals as a legal term. We are talking about criminals as a *social* classification.

“But I am a hater, which is a kind of integrity. It means I am willing to disagree with anyone, even if it is rude.”

It was one of the best things I read this year, in any format, and I am glad it is circulating again.

Tear it all down. I want the historical record to be full of scenes like the newsreel footage of the allies dynamiting swastikas in the aftermath of WWII.

Don't ever accept their bullshit. Always assume they're lying. Never let their lies take hold in your mind and heart.

Users of Gen AI climb on the backs of actual creators and stick flags between their shoulder blades, treating them like territory. Us and our work are just ladders to them. The only work they really want to do is to climb over us and claim our talent and abilities as their own.
