So, why's nobody talking about Project 2025, when they are literally adhering to the script...
'A European intelligence official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said IS was flooding social media with propaganda and while this impacted only a handful of people, it meant there were more terrorism investigations than last year."

Memory makers prioritize HBMs: more lucrative. GPU companies prio svr GPU by cutting consumer GPU: less lucrative. W/ the memory constraints, producing expensive consumer GPU might affect retail inventory and roadmap. It's a problem completely created by "AI", worse than crypto.

Leadership is not having the authority or the stupidity to command others, it's to be able to understand others' pain and suffering and still stand tall, because we are all vulnerable and fragile beings, we look for the omnipotent one to lead us, so we can outsource decisions along with pain.

Opioid overdose is only an issue when it affects Caucasian neighborhoods, that's why we are seeing airstrikes on mules. TBH, they don't really care, they just need a cause.

Thank you for reposting Putin's socio-economic calculus almost 4 years into the war, it was first noticed in 2022, but your observation is very valuable, we will note it and use it in our reports. Can you do one on T-72 turret as well, we'd like to re-discover how it explodes since the late 90s.
☠️ More than 400,000 Russian soldiers were killed or wounded in Ukraine between 2024 and 2025, according to British Ministry of Defence's intelligence services, - Le Monde

Moscow is focusing its recruitment efforts on poor regions, often populated predominantly by ethnic minorities.

This is why old farts shouldn't be allowed to make decisions, TLDR, Galloway discovered that there's an adult industry that relies on simps; internet subscription services like Netflix and Disney+ are okay, but when it comes to erotic contents, it "made men lonelier", tell that to Playboy magazine.
The link between sexual repression and militarism is becoming clearer by the day.

Galloway blames OnlyFans for loneliness, depression, small business closures, extremism, tyranny and *checks notes* impending societal extinction.

His solution? Mandatory national service.
Scott Galloway: OnlyFans is the billion-dollar symptom of a loneliness pandemic
The most unstable, violent societies have one thing in common: lonely young men. We are producing millions of them, writes Scott Galloway

NEW: Trump's new Reactor Pilot Program is rushing to build at least 3 experimental reactor designs by July 4, 2026.

Here's a deep look at the program and why it's raising safety concerns.

For the nuke nerds, I'll also highlight what's new in this 🧵

🇺🇸 The 20th century already offers examples of how the pursuit of a “quick peace” turned into the legitimization of aggression.

The consequences of such decisions are still remembered today.

When you say Russia could attack NATO countries within the next 5 years, you've lost all credibility.
December 12, 2025 at 11:23 PM
The article is missing the point, NATO countries doctrines are not meant to fight a war as Ukraine. And most classified JSTAR capabilities won't be released so the public can decide whether we should get rid of all AWACS and embrace fiber optics "reconnaissance".

AI, the so-called "multi-billion dollar industry", the reason Nvidia begged Trump to sell H200 to PRC is because they know there won't be any products created by AI that actually generate revenue. Almost like they are worried that the spending on data center is slowing down.

In a private Signal group, I stated that Maduro's regime will be targeted, my estimate was off by 10 months, most likely due to Houthis; still, these "operations" are far from coups that would replace authoritarian regimes, unless the US is willing to deal with a military dictatorship.

US and some NATO countries foreign policy boils down to fear-induced strategic abdication. While Russian nuclear strategic capability is in a very bad shape, due to lack of training, modernization, talent exodus, corruption.

ROCAF's F-16V used AAQ-33 to track J-16, the image below isn't a fire control system lock. One could possibly derive from this that the PLAN J-15 might not have similar advanced tracking optics; also, documented risky dangerous flying maneuvers suggest locking is used as a "warning".

Wait, I thought it was because of DEI, exactly how Russian cognitive warfare indoctrinated them to believe.

If I tell you that a country's national security strategy is to pay soldiers more to keep the numbers floating on paper, and outsourcing defense to someone who's colluding with Russia, you'd probably think it's a joke, no, it's not, it's Canada.
