Kari Lake's dismantling of VOA is a full-blown fiasco It's just as shambolic as her political career.

"Annoyingly, Congress refused to 0 out funding for VOA, which have been a major source of US soft power since WW2. Now the president seems to be trimming his sails, hoping instead to turn USAGM into a North Korea-style state mouthpiece to broadcast MAGA propaganda worldwide." — @lizdye.bsky.social

Decades back, when I was still studying in my mil higher school to get MSc and engineer of radio-electronics, we were repeatedly told one mantra -- radio-electronics is science about contacts. Up there in the skies, components are exposed for way too many factors, so 'miracles' sometimes happen too.

For some reason "AI is just like watching Netflix" is back in my feeds so I took that as a sign to update my data tracking for Netflix. The company's energy use rose 1% from 2021 to 2024.

Compare that to:

Google: 71%
Nvidia: 88%
Meta: 96%
Microsoft: 119%
