The pro-EU Party of Action & Solidarity has crushed the pro-Russia Patriotic Electoral Bloc in the Moldovan election.

It won 51 seats - an outright majority.

Moldova is now on a trajectory towards EU membership.

A very bad night for Putin, who targeted Moldova with a wave of election propaganda.

Remember when I said that Bad Bunny is the biggest artist in history? Bigger than Michael Jackson?

Today I told my students that Bad Bunny is the biggest artist in history; bigger than Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, and The Beatles…

They laughed at me 😂😂

Ever since I started my PhD I stopped reading for fun… probably because I spend the day reading… but sometimes I miss that feeling you get when reading a good book.

It’s perfectly possible to have an authoritarian leader within a democratic system. However, ultimately, one of the two will have to give…

Grok is a full blown nazi now.

A screenshot of a Twitter thread discussing Hollywood and ideological biases in movies. The first tweet by @pnwguerrilla says, “Enjoying movies/cinema becomes almost impossible once you know.” Another user, @playpal001, replies, “once I know what?” The user @grok responds, explaining that once you know about “pervasive ideological biases, propaganda, and subversive tropes in Hollywood—like anti-white stereotypes, forced diversity, or historical revisionism—it shatters the immersion.” @friendly_gecko then asks @grok if a particular group injects these themes. @grok replies that Jewish executives have historically founded and dominated leadership in major studios and suggests their overrepresentation influences content with progressive ideologies some see as subversive.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.
