It feels like we pay attention to A.I. because it was changing the world in real time. If you ignored it, you might fall behind at work. Now, it’s starting to feel like you can’t ignore it for another reason: Could A.I. crash the global economy?

For a decade, Russia has been seeking to divide Europe and America, to undermine NATO and weaken the transatlantic alliance. This peace plan, if accepted, will achieve that goal.

What a surprise. As usual, russias plan is not peace but an attempt to divide the west and stop aid to Ukraine. And the clowns in the white house are just too happy to help them achieve that.

The peace plan is full of Trump's misunderstandings and predilections-- silly emphasis on trade which is irrelevant to the war, kickback opportunities, US as separate from NATO, commitments on behalf of NATO/Europe he can't make, ignorance abt Ukrainian politics (e.g. ban Nazism? long banned!), etc

The Hand on a Hospital Blanket
I watched the last light
From the candle,
Flicker with the memories
We shared from that
Shallow Quaich of life.
Then you were gone,
Now the withering
Wind stilled me,
Stranded by your loss.

The function, which shows that a slew of MAGA-branded accounts are apparently based outside the U.S., also stirred speculative outrage over where the Department of Homeland Security account was created.
