It’s always astonishing to read that the chief conman is misjudging the other party or being conned. He conned himself to presidency for god’s sake. Maybe his motives are elsewhere.

If I were Starmer, I would set up a £100 billion science fund, would substantially increase defence R&D and spending, boost spending on science education, would set up a science council with European partners and would create incentives for European companies to fund a science grant fund etc etc

It’s quite the opposite. He is not being radicalised with the “for you feed” but he is radicalising and brainwashing millions. Social media has been devastating for Western democracies. And we are in in the first inning only.

Many folks know of Bluesky’s recent funding round from Blockchain Capital LLC. But this adds an interesting new dimension. Will be seeking answers on what interest Mr. Dorofeev has in this investment, given that he works for Russia’s state sanctioned social network, VK.
