Cela en dit long sur la démocratie belge...

For years Ukraine tried to warn the world about russia, about disinformation, and about how war itself was changing. Many leaders brushed it aside. Now the same countries are asking Ukraine for help.

Not great when the only people in the free world who believe and trust Vladimir Putin’s word on critical things despite all evidence to the contrary are currently running the government of the United States.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Russia is winning so much that in the fifth year of its full-scale invasion, Ukraine is supplying its weapons to the U.S. and the Gulf states.

Ukraine has now helped the US, Israel, and the Gulf states protect civilians from Iranian drone strikes. As a special thank you, the US spoke to Putin and told him he's doing a great job in his invasion of Ukraine and lifted some sanctions on Russia. Great partnership.

Good Lord, Trump seems to have forgotten that in war, your enemy gets a vote. If the Iranians read this, they will understand he is terrified and desperate, and probably speed up the mining of the straits. Worst war leader in US history.

Great to know a bit more about what's coming up for @eurosky.social I do fear a bit that they overspend on building another appview, where what we need is better PDS software, for easier user moderation, user management, including personal data management... that does not require heavy tech skills.

A Eurosky Account is just the start - Eurosky's blog The future of social media is about you not an app

Important piece on the future of the ATmosphere. Today, your Euro- or Bluesky handle is just an account on a microblogging platform - that's right here.
Tomorrow, it will be your gateway to a decentralized, interoperable, techbros-free world, allowing you to log-in to plenty of applications.

Hungary is a bank robber state. But hey, let's be quiet about it not to disturb the rigged election coming up.

Ukrainian drone expertise is REALLY impressive. Not only on a moving target, but right in the Ural truck cockpit. All this in movement.
That we are so far behind after 4 years of passively watching shows how inconsequential the current generation of Western "leaders" are.

Those who tell the stories rule society. – Plato Those who tell the stories rule society.

For all his apparent stupidity, Trump might have read Plato.

Couldn't think of a more able profile to drive this project to the best possible outcome. And a vital one for the reach of atproto!

Yeah, I think this grant really underscores that Bluesky Social PBC is very invested in making the entire decentralized web better, not just their little slice of it.

Yeah, my suspicions are getting more and more reaffirmed. Brace for impact.

Happy for you!

"More than 100 police officers were stationed at the scene. They carried out identity checks on antifascist activists but did not perform similar controls on the "anti-antifa" protesters, who displayed Belgian and Flemish flags adorned with Celtic crosses."

What does this say about Belgian police ?

To the EU: remove links to GAFAM on europa.eu - Idea Nation

there it is - please like and repost!

gonna crosspost this on linkedin :)

Putin gets:

High oil prices,
Loosening of sanctions,
An EU that's weaker politically and economically,
An Iranian client state that's even more dependent on him,
A US military rapidly depleting its smart munitions,
A global surge in anti-Americanism.

Quite a haul. Even Israel can't match it.

Laziza! (Daniel Balavoine) ?
