I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

EU: The European Union will require sale of mobile phones with “user-replaceable and longer-lasting batteries” starting in 2027.

The regulation demands “availability of spare parts and manuals for 10 years to curb planned obsolescence”.

MelonIi, Le Pen, Wilders, Morawiecki, Ventura — all Europe’s far-right have lined up next to Orban to support him in Sunday’s election.

They should be pressured relentlessly over his Russia ties.

Orban is Russia’s man in Europe. The mouse to Russia’s lion, to use *his own words*

Lol, nope!

What the EU can — and can’t — learn from Spain’s low energy bills Madrid says a renewables boom is shielding its citizens from soaring fossil fuel costs. But that’s not the full story.

Gas only sets Spain's electricity price 15% of the time. When gas costs spike it barely registers on the electricity bill. In countries like Italy and the UK gas sets the price 90% of the time. The difference is enormous.

I spoke to @politico.com about this.

That irritating feeling that France was right Donald Trump’s America makes Gaullism respectable again

In more Atlantic-leaning European capitals, the prospect of standing alone without America has prompted distress. In Paris, which maintains a fully independent nuclear deterrent and builds its own fighter jets, it feels like vindication

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy.

Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

Surprising good call from my government

1/ Denmark was reportedly preparing for full-scale war with the US over Greenland in January, with military support from France, Germany, and Nordic nations. Elite troops and F-35 jets with live ammunition were sent, and runways were to be blown up to prevent an invasion. ⬇️

Danmark forberedte sig på muligt angreb fra USA: Fløj poser med blod til Grønland og gjorde klar til at sprænge landingsbaner i luften Nøglekilder i Danmark og Europa fortæller nu for første gang, hvad der skete i de mest kritiske dage, hvor Donald Trump truede med at tage Grønland "på den hårde måde".

Denmark and allies were flying in blood products and preparing for blowing up the airstrips as Trump threatened Greenland in January.

Surprising no-one the 'exercise' Arctic Endurance was in fact an active operation, planned since 2025 with France, Germany and Nordics (+UK?).

Qatar Minster of education Lolwah bint Rashid Al Khater to the US: “…we just need you to leave us alone. To stop igniting wars so that weapons’ companies can make more money. We need you to Stop Bombing Schools, to stop trafficking and raping little kids.”

This directly contradicts Trump and Hegseth’s claims that Iran bombed the area where the Iranian school was hit. We knew it, but it’s good to have the video.

New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.
