Don’t be ridiculous. The US is far from a Banana Republic. It’s a Banana De Facto Monarchy.

Susien suojelun heikentymisen lisäksi myös ilveksen, karhun ja saukon metsästystä helpotetaan. Tämä on tieteellisen tiedon vastainen päätös, jolla vaarannetaan kantojen elinvoimaisuus. Myös itse lainsäädäntöprosessi oli niin hallituksen kuin valiokuntakäsittelyn osalta täysi rimanalitus.

💰SCOOP: Hungary is in advanced talks with Russia on a plan to bypass US sanctions on Serbia’s mostly Russian-owned NIS oil firm by having a Hungarian firm buy shares. My sources say this is foreign minister Péter Szijjártó’s main topic at today’s Moscow trip—just 11 days after Orbán's Kremlin visit.

Obviously though this can't just be a UK debate - which is why I asked the questions in Brussels about the future relationship. And got the answers. Which, beyond "remind us who you are and why we care", were quite a mixed bag. encompass-europe.com/comment/ever...

Twelve billion dollars

US President Trump pledged a USD 12bn aid package for US farmers, though also threatened tariffs on importers of Canadian fertilizer.

Twelve billion dollars
Germany’s October trade surplus was larger than expected, principally because of a steeper fall in import demand. Globally, trade away from the US remains robust and (more or less) normal.

There was a small flood of articles around GPT-5 talking about how AI development has plateaued (partially based on experiences with the GPT-5 router). Has there been any major articles with updates since it became clear that there was no such plateau?

Literally a week ago Musk said that falsely labeling people as Nazis "should be treated as incitement to murder." And here he is (falsely) labeling the EU as Nazis.

A set if large scale-experiments in the UK, US & Poland where people chatted with LLMs about political topics found AI is very good at persuasion, primarily by providing lots of fact-based claims

Plus, AI is getting more persuasive as models grow bigger & persuasion effects lasted over a month.
