Pure evil

It is moments like this I really wish I had Trump Derangement Syndrome, that my loathing and fear of this regime was based on some delusional derangement. But no, they are not only every bit as horrible as I fear but worse. It is really incredible. There is no level of depravity low enough that this regime will not stoop to.

So apparently google has a thing where they're using your gmail to train their AI? You can apparently opt out, but that somehow means turning off the spam filter.

There is a reason they dropped "don't be evil" from their list of company values.

Google is one of many many many poster children for why monopolies shouln't be allowed. The government should have broken up Google a decade ago.

Germany should check whether it can join the UK/Japan/Italy project instead.

Clearly the best way to come to a consensus is to have more parties.

I feel like all of that money is wasted on last war equipment anyway. We should go all in on drones instead.

Yep. Trump's deadlines are.. fluid, but he has given until Thursday to Ukraine to accept the terms of their surrender, or the US will withdraw intelligence sharing and other support.

If that was Texans through the seasons, nobody would go outside from April until October.

Regarding control - this guy stacked all his Muscovy modifiers for great effect by end of 15th century.

Every month he travels to Moscow and comes back with a "new peace plan". Every month it's the same plan. Every month the US press works itself into a frenzy about it.

Curious that the media frenzy you observe can be seen there but not in the US itself.

Yeah, the Euro media seems to be freaking out about it much more than the US one. I hope it means they know the plan has little credibility.

The freakout also goes to show how impotent we Euros are at the moment.

Turns out the US media should have been paying more attention to this
