Obama and Biden may think they are honoring the office of the presidency by keeping quiet at a moment like this — if so that’s just preening vanity — they owe it to the office and to the Republic that until last month it served to speak up loudly and clearly and without relent.

Voilà, le "délibérément inacceptable" s'est confirmé en un guet-apens médiatique dans le bureau ovale avec Vance en invité surprise (le plus virulent contre l'Ukraine pendant la campagne électorale). Il s'agit bien de faire porter à l'Ukraine la responsabilité de l'échec des "négociations" de paix.

Elon Musk's only profitable company, Tesla, has created a cumulative grand total net income of $34 billion in its more than 20 years of existence. That's less than the total amount of US federal subsidies his empire has collectively received. The economics of Elon Musk are as bad as the politics.

That growth rate is wild. Even with a conservative estimate of 0.5 users per second (compared to the actual ~0.9/sec), Bluesky is on track to become a serious competitor to both Twitter and Threads very quickly. If the momentum holds, we’re looking at a real shift in the social media landscape. 🚀
