UK: Prince Andrew arrested.
South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life.
Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence.
USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.
Imagine having the power to move the entire global stock market with a few words. One sentence—and trillions evaporate. Then buy the dip, and say the opposite words, and rake in billions over night. Then repeat.
Only one personn has that secret power, its called tariffs other threats.
Bye bye 2025, a divisive year,
with many divisors: 3, 5, 9, 15, 25, 27, 45, 75, 81, 135, 225, 405, 675.
Happy 2026 = 2*1013
Just two primes
Cheers!
Welcome to USA, after you watch this NYT documentary.

A democratic socialist, and a muslim, son of Indian parents, but born in Uganda, is the NYC Mayor!
Oh my god, the sky is falling... on the Orange Bafoon.

In a chaotic world, some inspiration from human greatness.
In even more chaotic times, on October 28 1893, Pyotr Tchaikovsky premiered his masterpiece, Symphony #6, aka "Pathetique".
Nine days later he died.

Thank you. I learned a lot from this visit.
In a chaotic world, some inspiration from human greatness.
In even more chaotic times, Mozart, just 32, created his 39th symphony!
Then he finished the 40th the next month!
Then the 41st in just 2 weeks!
Timeless creations, untouched by the the chaos.

Of course, no borders. It would be great to collaborate with you.
🧠🧠Announcing: Neural computations without borders 🧠🧠
So many students and postdocs are stuck due to visa, or other hurdles. To help in a small way, I will mentor about ten students/postdocs in neural computation, or neuro-AI projects, leading to publication/s.
New opinion paper in @cp-trendsneuro.bsky.social with Dan Bendor, where we argue that rodent studies provide only marginal support for the idea that replay supports real-time decisions (e.g. planning). Fictive learning and memory tagging are more consistent w/evidence. www.cell.com/trends/neuro...
This was a wonderful meeting.
Make Russia Great again:
-Zero tariffs on Russia
-Highest tariffs on the biggest trading partners of Russia: China, European Union, especially Germany, India.
-Higher tariffs from USA will make them trade with Russia at a lower cost. Everyone else will bear the burden.
If you are a faculty member at a US university, please consider signing this excellent petition asking our presidents, chancellors, etc to work together to defend our institutions from the direct attacks by Trump administration: sites.google.com/view/we-must...
The real qustion is: Why would Musk want to know about war plans with china?

All of Musk's money is in Tesla Cars. Chinese car maker BYD (and others) has made much better EV cars for 70% less price than Tesla.

Meta used at least 16 of my books, and numerous articles, to help train the AI it will use to make billions.

Immigrants, trans people, palestinian rights activists, eventually it’s going to be your turn when the regime decides you are an enemy
When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.
Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.
Funny how that works, huh?
“Wealthy Chinese investors are quietly funnelling tens of millions of dollars into private companies controlled by Elon Musk using an arrangement that shields their identities from public view” www.ft.com/content/6685...
A US submarine emerges from the ocean, highlighted by a clear blue sky and calm waters, symbolizing a recent fuel supply dispute.
Norwegian firm Haltbakk Bunkers announced it will stop providing fuel to all US forces in Norway: "No Fuel to Americans! We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example. SLAVA UKRAINA" #3E #StandWithUkraine
An admin throwing away all its leverage. "Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last week ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions, according to three people familiar with the matter." therecord.media/hegseth-orde...
Indeed terrifyingly accurate. Our only hope is to quit Musk in every way. Signature campaigns will have zero effects. Mass protests on the streets will be effective but too costly, they will use the military against us.
This is a good move. Sadly, I doubt Musk+Maga madness will care. What they will definitely notice is if we quit everything Musk, from Twitter to Tesla cars and stocks. Europe has already done that, we are far behind. Give them a doGe of their own medicine.
All 22 states are Blue states. Practically none of the Red states. You know where this is going.
I like the undergrad textbook by Bear, Connors & Paradiso from Brown University.
Early Career Researchers: If you have a job offer in the US, get everything in writing*immediately*.
Universities will have no choice but to rescind offers. Hiring freezes are unavoidable.
