one reason "great power competition" is a bad description of the emerging order is that an interlinked global kleptocracy does not care about national interests or rivalries

Extraordinary WSJ reporting today that unveils the extent to which Trump, Witkoff, Kushner and US business executives are salivating over business deals with Russia while Putin’s forces kidnap Ukranian children and bomb civilians in their apartments.

🎁 www.wsj.com/world/russia...
WSJ Gentry Beach, a college friend of Donald Trump Jr. and campaign donor to his father, has been in talks to acquire a stake in a Russian Arctic gas project if it is released from sanctions. Another Trump donor, Stephen P. Lynch, paid $600,000 this year to a lobbyist close to Trump Jr. who is helping him seek a Treasury Department license to buy the Nord Stream 2 pipeline from a Russian state-owned company. One sign that he may be serious is that some of his most-trusted friends, sanctioned billionaires from his St. Petersburg hometown-Gennady Timchenko, Yuri Kovalchuk and the Rotenberg brothers, Boris and Arkady-have sent representatives to quietly meet American companies to explore rare-earth mining and energy deals, according to people familiar with the meetings and European security officials. That includes reviving the giant Nord Stream pipeline, sabotaged by Ukrainian tactical divers, and under European Union sanctions. Earlier this year, Exxon Mobil met with Russia's biggest state energy company, Rosneft, to discuss returning to the massive Sakhalin gas project if Moscow and Washington gave the green light.

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI
carnage4life.bsky.social Dare Obasanjo @carnage4life.bsky.social · 1d
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.

I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?
Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

Catarina Macario told reporters in Orlando that she gave thanks for her health, having feared at some points in her ACL recovery that she might not get back to this point.

I asked Emma Hayes how satisfying it is to watch Macario in full flight with the #USWNT:

www.inquirer.com/soccer/catar...
I know the work that even my staff that are here with me now, and that was with me at Chelsea – we knew when we signed Cat she was injured, and we knew we were going to go through a period of time. Maybe we didn't know how long it was going to take, but she did it. And I think understandably she would feel quite emotional about having a career, and having a career that's having an impact that she's currently having. I think she's a tremendous player. She knows what I think about her. I signed her for Chelsea because I thought she was a world-class player. and I think even more so now I get the chance to work with her while she's fit and healthy. And we have a fantastic relationship. We've built that over a period of time. And her qualities are just exceptional. Look, it's going to be tough, because we've got so many good players. But Cat Macario is a special talent, and if we can do everything to keep her on the field and keep achieving her dreams, then I think the sky is the limit for her.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

And it is SO much more resource-intensive to evaluate AI content than human-generated content, too.

It’s infuriating to me that I need to evaluate media to determine whether it’s AI generated now. The great “time saver” technology wastes incalculable time and energy for people who want to retain their grasp on reality

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

Hello #WoSo world, does anyone know where the CONCACAF W League qualifiers are being broadcast in the US this weekend?

I know Paramount+ showed the knockout phase the last time, but it doesn’t look like they’re showing this year’s group stage.
