Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

This is so intelligent, I want to cry: The 140 seats won by the student opposition against Serbia's nationalist government party will be taken up not by students, but by academics, professors & public figures from pre-chosen pool of 250 experts, selected by student plenums.

Musk says Ukraine's military violated Starlink's terms.
Musk: Ukraine's front line would collapse immediately if Starlink were turned off.
SpaceX closed that loophole last week.

Elon Musk claims that Ukraine allegedly violated Starlink's terms of use and used the system on combat drones.
As someone who was inside the process at the Ministry of Defense, I can say with certainty that this is not true.
In February of this year, whitelists were introduced. Stationary terminals could be registered by both military personnel and civilians.
But for any satellite terminal to work while on the move, it had to be added to a special list and connected to the military Starshield system. Otherwise, no satellite communication terminals in Ukraine would work.
In other words, using civilian Starlink for drone missions was technically impossible. All drone missions that required satellite communication could only be carried out using Starshield.
We are very grateful to the United States and SpaceX for access to critically important satellite communications. Ukraine did not violate the terms of use.

And there is your proof.
82% of Democrats support Ukraine over Russia. So do 52% of Republicans and even 50% of MAGA supporters. Support for Russia? A miserable 1%, 4% and 5%, respectively.
Trump, Hegseth and JD Vance do not represent the American people on this issue. They represent their own interests.
They represent themselves, their egos and a peculiar little faction that seems determined to mistake loyalty to Putin for patriotism.
The most remarkable thing about these figures is that even MAGA voters are ten times more likely to support Ukraine than Russia.
America has not become pro-Russian. Its leadership has simply become spectacularly unrepresentative of the country it claims to speak for.

Interesting article. At UCL, we still don't have access to Pangram to check student work, which seems crazy.
'I recently reviewed 1,191 doctoral dissertations from 2025 in the fields of educational leadership and administration. My research suggests that 35 percent of those dissertations were made up of more than a negligible amount — i.e., greater than 10 percent — of AI-generated text. Ten percent were more than 50 percent AI-generated...
Before you protest — “AI-detectors are unreliable”; “they’re potentially biased against nonnative speakers”; “they can be tricked” — let me tell you that I used Pangram. It is not for nothing that Pangram has become the tool of choice for much of the internet, as a slew of peer-reviewed research has found that it achieves “near-zero” false-negative and false-positive rates, even against “adversarial” and “humanizing” AI software. I have used Pangram over the last year in my undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral courses and have found it (with additional safeguards and protocols) to be near-perfect in detecting students’ inappropriate use of AI in their writing. My ongoing study used 100 dissertations published before 2020 as a control; all came out as “100 percent Human” in Pangram.'

It’s now officially confirmed.
Tonight, russia struck Kyiv’s historic centre with an Iskander ballistic missile carrying a cluster warhead.
58 submunitions explode in mid-air, designed to inflict maximum casualties across a 400 × 400 metre area.
“This strike had no military purpose. The goal was to destroy part of the old city and injure as many people as possible,” said a Ukrainian presidential adviser.
No military objective. Just terror.

🚨 TRUMP CONTRADICTS HIMSELF IN SECONDS OVER THE RELEASE OF AN AMERICAN HOSTAGE! 🤡🇺🇸
TRUMP: “We gave nothing in exchange for Stephen. We never give anything in exchange for hostages.”
LITERALLY MOMENTS LATER:
TRUMP: “If I implemented sanctions on Russia, Steven wouldn’t be coming out right now.”
WAIT A MINUTE! 😂
Trump insists he gave Putin nothing — then suggests that imposing sanctions would have prevented the hostage’s release.
So was holding back sanctions part of the price? Americans deserve a straight answer. 🇺🇸

Tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands, of Ukrainian children have been forced into Russia and this boot-licking spiv rolls out the tongue once more for “humanitarian” Putin. Infamy

В 1994 году США, Россия и Украина подписали соглашение об отказе Украины от ядерного оружия. Украина отдала 4 400 ядерных боеголовок. Взамен США и Россия гарантировали Украине «независимость и существующие границы».
Спустя 30 лет один гарант напал, а другой требует капитуляции

We were too spineless to regulate these billionaire freaks, so now one of them gets to decide whether Ukrainian drones can catch the missiles aimed at Ukrainian kids.
We have failed spectacularly.
BREAKING WSJ:
Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of the military-grade version of Starlink that Ukraine relied on.

Reports of the worthlessness of a college degree are politicized fictions that do not match the reality of what employers say and do.
