I'll be there to welcome prospective PhD students on Thursday. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/phd-hybrid...

[1/n] Opportunity to Apply for a Fully-Funded "UK Home Studentship" for a PhD in the "CDT in Cyber-Physical Risk" on "Risk Assessment and Mitigation of Threats to AI-enabled Devices in Cyber-Physical-Social Systems" within @sec.cs.ucl.ac.uk @ucl.ac.uk

Fuck me sideways.

He's not grovelling. He's calling Trump's bluff.

Canadian PM Justin Trudeau: "Today, the United States launched a trade war against Canada - their closest partner and ally, their closest friend. At the same time, they're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin - a lying murderous dictator. Make that makes sense."

We are facing historic threats with the changes of US policy that require action. The power of tech companies was already concerning, but dependence on US companies will be weaponsied against European interest says @marietjeschaake.bsky.social at #CEPSlab2025. 👉 www.youtube.com/live/V-L7Aha...

A very good podcast episode introducing the research evidence on the effectiveness of hotspot policing for reducing crime. Would make a useful set ‘reading’ for students studying this.

Self-selection.

The Stoneleigh Foundation is accepting applications for SIX early career Emerging Leader Fellowships. Each fellow will partner with a violence prevention organization in Philly. Excellent opportunity and a really wonderful organization. stoneleighfoundation.org/apply/emergi...

That whole post-9/11 closing of the ranks around the US must have been an AI-generated hallucination.

Air France can't read the room.

La question n'est pas "si un pays finit par bouger". Le Brésil a ouvert la voie. Il a interdit Twitter pendant six semaines, jusqu'à le faire plier. Qu'on ne me fasse pas croire que le Canada ou l'Union européenne sont moins forts que le Brésil.

Piece of Ukraine vs peace in Ukraine. Easy mistake to make.

Who's buying what while it's going down?

I'm going to steal that.

* Stopping cyber operations vs Russia * Offering up Ukraine on a platter * Starting a trade war with our closest allies * Mass firings in intel, FBI * Shutting down task forces fighting foreign influence + corruption What are we supposed to call all of this? How many dots do you need to connect?

About those French submarines...

The @royalsociety.org have proven themselves to be less relevant now to society and the scientific community then they have arguably ever been in their history. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

words I never imagined writing in my lifetime..... General Sir Richard Shirreff, the former Nato deputy supreme allied commander in Europe, has told Times Radio: "I think we have to assume, after the events of the last 10 days, that we cannot in any way count on America as an ally"

It's been true all along and the tragedy predates the current disaster. The people on the ground, Israeli or Gazans, hostages or civilians, are no one's priority, be it Hamas or Netanyahu. (Or Trump, which goes without saying.)

Solidarność.

Being alarmist and pessimistic about the Trump presidency has consistently been the most reliable basis for forecasting...

📣 Jean-Pierre Filiu vise encore juste! 🎯 Les dirigeants 🇪🇺 n'ont pas mesuré l'impact désastreux de leur silence, voire de leur complicité face aux crimes commis par Israël à Gaza, sur la crédibilité du projet européen. L'UE peut-elle survivre à l’effondrement de ses propres valeurs ? 🔥

Blocking humanitarian aid is a clear breach of international law and will lead to more civilian suffering and deaths. UK must take the lead in condemning Israel's actions and calling for aid to be allowed into Gaza. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Need the capacity to target former allies.

Not 100% sure, but I think we were the first all-European consortium to be funded. Before Minerva, I wouldn't have gotten anyone to give me $1M to study how 'where' matters as much as 'who' and 'why' to explain radicalisation. We have EU Horizon, but this is a massive loss for US security scholars.

Mistral Le Chat is out in a new and improved version. This is a real alternative to ChatGPT. In my view it's one of the easiest ways you can support European tech without sacrificing performance Read about it: mistral.ai/news/all-new... Try it: chat.mistral.ai/chat

The limits of "they'll come around when it smacks them in the face" theory. No, they'll shift the blame off themselves to preserve their beliefs.

"It's quarter to the midnight. As there are doubts over the support of the Americans towards Europe over time, we need to mobilise hundreds of billions of euros. It is Europe's strategic wake-up moment." www.politico.eu/article/euro...

Gonna dig out some fanfiction full of military women who kick ass. Been a while but I think I remember how.

We're all so desperate for some warm fuzzies. I was tempted to pick up some of the papers I normally wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole.

Anne Applebaum: "The assumption [has been] the US would lead...Rethinking how Europe could act together is not [easy]...[But] there is something like a ‘coalition of the willing’ emerging--Scandinavia, the Baltic States, Poland, Germany, UK, France." youtu.be/e2E2UsorCkc?...

Oh, Ramius, we could use you now. Ryan got fired by OPM.
