These are always insightful and often entertaining, but I think reading this one can wait a bit; it's thawed out and the #garden beckons. 🌱

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

And the banks. Whatever banks X uses are also liable for knowingly handling money that was made illegally
I write in today's @irishexaminer.bsky.social about the laws that are broken when online AI platforms facilitate the production of child sex abuse material. No new laws are needed. Companies (and their executives) are accountable as well as users.

Ireland could prosecute Twitter/X for AI 'child porn' deepfakes
The horrific child sex abuse material produced every day by Grok is already banned under Irish law. The real test is if we are ready to enforce that law against large tech companies

Denmark’s PM Mette Frederiksen is blunt:
If the U.S. attacks a NATO ally, the post-WWII order dies and America becomes the threat NATO was built to stop.👀

If Russia invades Germany and kidnaps Chancellor Merz, I guess the EU response will be:
"The legal assessment of the Russian intervention is complex and requires careful consideration. International law remains the guiding framework."

I would love to see political leadership from NORDEFCO -countries (Nordic 5) announcing a months long “long-time” planned exercise in 🇬🇱 (Greenland).
Protection of critical infrastructure & securing political leadership against external attack could be two exercise tracks.
