This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

So the InCel whisperers all met at the ExCel in London... couldn't make it up

Top shale boss Harold Hamm says US oil producers will not flock back to Russia even if there is a peace deal. "Once in a while, peace breaks out over there, but not very often" on.ft.com/41rK8fy @financialtimes.com

My favourite part of the new Captain America movie is when he tries to extort Wakanda for $500b in Vibranium rights before "ironically" teaming up with Hydra to own the libs.

The weaponization of US technology companies means we should treat our dependence on them as a national security threat ↘️

How can sexual and gender-based violence be identified through open sources, and what ethical considerations should guide this research? @alexakoenig.bsky.social is at the forefront of answering these questions. Listen to our Stage Talk with her here: rss.com/podcasts/bel...

⚡️63% of Ukrainians approve Zelensky as president, poll shows.

@sky-follower-bridge.dev by the way would be great if you could rescan already scanned X-users as people gradually come to bluesky. Might speed up the process of scanning large numbers of users

Electricity provider in Belgium - Brussels - Mega no longer provides for individuals in Brussels, so it was recommended that you use www.mrenergie.be. however, their Captcha is incompatible with my browsers. Do you have any tips or recommendations for other ways to find cheap and green electricity?

Very happy about the Chrome extension Sky Follower Bridge, which allows you to easily follow the people you followed on Twitter www.sky-follower-bridge.dev

We need to make interoperability requirements between different national and international train operators! If not, this will mess up train bookings while we wait for the new EU law. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

woman in the café next to me is eating a croissant with a knife and fork, does anyone have a direct personal number for Emmanuel Macron

SJ:s plan var att börja köra nattåg mellan Stockholm och Trondheim nu i vinter. Men regeringen sa nej till att finansiera linjen. Man satsade på flyg i stället.

Seriously, Eurostar is such a shitty service. Not collaborating with other train companies to sell their tickets and now in a climate crisis and rising train popularity, they cancel services... > Eurostar to stop summer train service to southern France www.brusselstimes.com/belgium/1454...

Fjollet kommunerne ikke opdaterer alle steder. I forvejen opdateres vejens udstyr ikke når hastighedsgrænsen ændres Håber kommunerne ændrer praksis når EU krav om at standardisere alle deres traffik(?) data fra maj. #dkpol #eupol www.tv2nord.dk/aalborg/her-...

This is exactly how Hitler talked. It's not even a comparison or analogy, as people claim. It's a direct connection in ideology as well as a similar approach to governance and relationship to democracy. This needs to be how we talk about it. They are the ideological descendants of Hitler.

"Journalister skal ikke gå efter sensationen. Vi skal gå efter, hvad der er rigtigt." Ida Ebbensgaard i Politiken >> men det er vist lang tid siden, at de gjorde det.

Ahhhh så I kan sige I skærper karakterkravet og samtidigt sige at I ikke skærper karakterkravet #dkpo "Som nævnt bliver karakterkravet skærpet på gymnasieuddannelserne. Det vil altså fremover kræve et papir med en gennemsnitskarakter på 6 at komme ind på enten HHX eller STX."

Ny karakterskala igen... #dkpol hvorfor?

What do federal workforce cuts look like?

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Not news but still always worth reminding ppl. From on.ft.com/4hHdJat How European defence companies can rise to the challenge

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

An important point to keep in mind.
