@sundogplanets "Move fast and break things" should not be literally applied to satellites.

Well, that kind of sucks: https://www.engadget.com/science/space/a-potential-starlink-competitor-just-got-fcc-clearance-to-launch-4000-satellites-143905076.html

4,000 more sats approved.
A potential Starlink competitor just got FCC clearance to launch 4,000 satellites
A startup got FCC clearance to launch 4000 satellites into orbit.

Cory Doctorow: "America is not great. It has been gutted by the Epstein class, who robbed us blind, raped our kids, and are now selling us shitcoins and chatbots and the spectacle of protesters being shot in the streets."

With the purchase of xAI and X, SpaceX now owns the largest online nazi platform in the world.

At least the space fans can stop telling me that SpaceX was Musk's "good company".

Great expression that should be used more.
From Twitter "My grandfather used to say "and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel" and I never knew what it meant until after he died my grandmother explained some magazine did a fluff interview with Magda Goebbels a few years before WW2 that included her strudel recipe and my grandfather, who hated the Nazis with the passion of 10,000 suns, thought it was an example of the media sanitising evil people and he would use the phrase when someone asked him to overlook a bad person doing bad things and focus on the good."

Amazingly all of us who did predict this used our magical powers of reading history books and using basic human pattern recognition. Also they really gave it away when they threw out those nazi salutes.

People have become far too used to Ukrainians dying.

#Ukraine #Russia #RussiaUkraineWar #UkraineWar #genocide #Invasion #imperialism #News #War
(3) Olga Tokariuk A @olgatokariuk It is shocking how little coverage there is of an unfolding humanitarian catastrophe in Ukraine due to Russia's destruction of its energy grid. It's -20C outside and half of the country experienced a total blackout today. Metro trains stopped operating in Kyiv and Kharkiv today. Rolling blackouts have been ongoing for weeks, often with no heating and running water inside people's houses. People get sick and die because of this. In the meantime, Russians laugh and call for more strikes to punish Ukraine for its unwillingness to surrender. These are strikes affecting millions of civilians amid the harshest winter in decades. These are crimes against humanity that Russia is confident it will get away with. We cannot let that happen 1:36 pm - 31 Jan 2026 - 28K Views

Does anybody in the UK understand that he’s the grandson of Oswald Mosley the head of the British union of fascists back in the 1930s?

What’s very clear is anything connected with Peter Thiel is woven into Nazi ancestry.

Hier is ook lang voor gepleit. Niet ieder ministerie en bosbeheerder z'n eigen IT:
e We uniformeren de bedrijfsvoering binnen het Rijk onder leiding van het ministerie van BZK: van ICT en inkoop tot HR, onder andere door verplichte standaarden en gezamenlijke voorzieningen e We richten een Nederlandse Digitale Dienst op: compact, deskundig en met doorzettingsmacht. Deze dienst ondersteunt de digitalisering Rijksbreed, stelt kwaliteitsstandaarden op en borgt goede ontwerpkeuzes. We verminderen afhankelijkheid van externe IT-leveranciers door meer IT-talent in dienst van het Rijk te nemen. We maken verantwoorde inzet van data en AI binnen de overheid mogelijk.

And this is why he's The Boss.

"Here in our home they killed and roamed
In the winter of ’26
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis"

“Donald J. Trump is the greatest danger to the world since Adolf Hitler”

Donald J. Trump is the greatest danger to the world since Adolf Hitler
What was once our greatest and most important ally is now the most powerful and dangerous criminal organization in the world. Donald Trump rules as a corrupt tyrant with a fascist playbook in his hand. What is to be done? At the very least: increase European independence now as if our lives depend on it. Because they do.

Trump lies. About everything, all the time. He cannot be trusted, ever. And currently, that means we cannot trust the USA either. Europe /must/ do everything we can to become independent of them.
