Have not read it, will check it out - thanks!

In a philosophical nutshell:

- The US legislates to benefit corporations.

Each has benefits and drawbacks, but when we think of the EU as a tech laggard, I think this helps frame why.

Criminal Court: Microsoft's email block a wake-up call for digital sovereignty Microsoft blocked the email account of Chief Prosecutor of the International Court of Justice after Trump's sanctions. Critics: “We urgently need alternatives.”

This is huge news and underreported. @microsoft is following Trump's executive orders by blocking the emails of key staff at the IJC, this for investigating war crimes committed in Gaza.

That's what counts as a W in unprovoked trade war land 😎🫠😂

Everybody hoping to get added to the next top secret group chat 😂

This project is an international, EU-funded academic collaboration - and they need private investment partners now to validate scale this tech.

Europe, let's fucking go and make some homegrown, scalable innovation with positive impact 👊🏾

See-through solar panels could turn skyscrapers into power stations See-through solar cells could turn entire skyscrapers into renewable energy power stations

Researchers have set a new efficiency world record for converting sunlight into electricity using transparent solar cells.

The breakthrough is a huge boost for renewable energy, allowing entire skyscrapers to serve as power stations by transforming their windows into solar panels.

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

EU eyes Eutelsat's OneWeb as Starlink replacement in Ukraine Reports from various media indicate that the Franco-British satellite services firm, Eutelsat, is in talks with the European Union to potentially replace Starlink in Ukraine with its OneWeb satellites...

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

@eddavey.libdems.org.uk really went from water park campaign photo opp gags to be the strongest voice pro-Ukraine and democracy voice in the UK 👏🏾

As it should be

Imagine if you read this as an Interpublic Group or Omnicom client, and then get a call from your account teams pushing you to spend on X.

I'd be fuming if my ad budgets were not being directed to grow my business, but instead to smoothen my agency's merger.

The ROI on $200m getting Trump elected will come in hot and fast

That's not a threat - there's sources saying that Trump is offering to pull American troops from European bases as part of his Putin capitulation 😔

Do you think that other part would be something Elon Musk has to do with?

Strikes me that no one seems to be talking about the biggest cudgel Trump can use to force Ukraine to accept a deal; Starlink through Elon Musk.

Us in Europe can (and should) step up on the funding and security commitments, but I'm not sure we have an adequate replacement for Starlink

Strong growth on the continent. Time to invest in the emerging market of them all

Thank you 😊🙏🏾

Side benefit of now having a 5-month old baby is that weekends are too filled with entertaining her to spend it all on social, especially when trying to catch up on sleep - doom scrolling is for the relative calm office days 😝
Jks aside, I'm following more entertainment/hobby stuff to reduce my doom
