New piece in foreign policy. The US's postwar role as guarantor of Europe’s security is over.
But Europe has an overlooked trump card: when it comes to manufacturing it blows the US out of the water, giving Europe the ability to rearm.

he's really so stupid and I can't stand it. if you warmed up mars and melted the water, the water would evaporate into space. Mars can't have a habitable atmosphere in its current state bc it has no magnetic field. solar winds strip away everything that isn't stuck to the surface.

We now have enough Starlink reentries to use the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis estimator to determine the median Starlink operational lifetime: 5.3 years. This mixes together V1 and V2M Starlinks.

As it happens, Trump has gone so far off the cliff that Europe isn’t divided but closing ranks.
I figured that it’ll become politically difficult for European politicians to try and suck up to him because electorates see what Trump is doing and are very angry. But it’s even better than expected:

They found a way to litter from space
Something else to thank EM for.
"The sustained rate of daily reentries is unprecedented," says Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard Center for Astrophysics who tracks satellites. "They are retiring and incinerating about 4 or 5 Starlinks every day."

Yes the Meta move is bad. But get real. The fact-checking and media literacy movements never came close to addressing the elephant in the room — the need to make social media companies liable like traditional media companies for the hateful and dangerous content that they permit on their channels.

Extremely interesting. Whenever we speak, we are reading the room. Social media are how we perceive the room. Distortions in social media distort what we say and think by distorting our perceptions of what “everybody else” thinks. This is how Musk or Zuck can drive us in warped directions.

We shd be cautious about amplifying Putin’s nuclear threats for clicks. Reporting them without analysis leaves the audience lost about whether the threats are real or empty. And mocking them, if done constantly, actually turns the subject into a game & too erodes our capacity to respond critically.
Putin knows that hints of nuclear missile use and wonderweapons will get the Western media's attention and help amplify his status as a dangerous threat who needs to be placated. And the media duly oblige by taking his empty bombast seriously. Every. Damn. Time.
