"The only reason for a Trump-class 'battleship' to exist is if America is abandoning its role as a great power enforcing the global order and instead retreating to bully its own sphere of influence through gunboat diplomacy."

When X banned the European Commission's ad account in retaliation for a fine, it demonstrated the exact sort of capricious behavior the DSA is designed to stop www.platformer.news/x-eu-fine-ac...
Bier's chest-thumping rationale for enforcing platform rules collapsed under scrutiny. The idea that X is a platform where all voices are equal is belied by the fact that you can promote your posts ahead of anyone else's by advertising them, just as the commission had, or by becoming a paid subscriber. And the suggestion that the commission was running some sort of scam rested on Bier's vague assertion that it had found an "exploit" by mislabeling one sort of post as another. More to the point, and to the letter of the DSA law: there was no appeal process, no transparency about how similar cases are handled, and no explanation of why this particular post merited account termination rather than, say, removal of the offending content. (Platforms typically go out of their way to retain advertisers who have done far worse than what the commission is accused of here. How else do you think Meta estimates that it makes $7 billion a year from scam ads?)

Teile und herrsche - dieses machiavellistische Prinzip hat die EU-feindliche Politik der Sowjetuinon und von Putins Russland geprägt. Dass sie jetzt auch für die USA gilt, zeigt, wo Trump sich selbst verortet. Denn die EU schützt ihre Mitglieder vor imperialem Zugriff von außen.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".
Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.

He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.
