Forza Europeans!
Only 200,000 signatures needed to push EU institutions to suspend the indecent partnership agreement with Apartheid Israel. Bcs it is not OK to make business with a State that commits intl crimes on a daily basis.
Power to the People.
Together #weR1
Almost 800.000 signatures: “EU citizens cannot tolerate that the EU maintains an agreement that contributes to legitimize and finance a State that commits crimes against humanity and war crimes.
Full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.” eci.ec.europa.eu/055/public/…

EU citizens should sign this European Citizens' Initiative to suspend the EU-Israel association agreement (=free trade). This is a powerful constitutional tool, which at 1 mil signatures forces EU bodies to take action (see ⬇️). It's already at 750,000.

This might be the most disturbing AI paper of 2025 ☠️
Scientists just proved that large language models can literally rot their own brains the same way humans get brain rot from scrolling junk content online.
They fed models months of viral Twitter data short, high-engagement posts and watched their cognition collapse:
- Reasoning fell by 23%
- Long-context memory dropped 30%
- Personality tests showed spikes in narcissism & psychopathy
And get this even after retraining on clean, high-quality data, the damage didn’t fully heal.
The representational “rot” persisted.
It’s not just bad data → bad output.
It’s bad data → permanent cognitive drift.
The AI equivalent of doomscrolling is real. And it’s already happening.

Elon talks about making this place the home of citizen journalism. He says: ''YOU ARE THE MEDIA NOW.''
Let's see if he tolerates real citizen journalism from Ukraine. I have no media organisation, no journalism training. I'm just a 25 year old guy with a camera.
I went and filmed evidence of Russian atrocities.
I saw this all with my own eyes - apartment blocks blown up by Russian missiles in the Donbas town of Dubropillya.
Dozens of people were murdered, burned alive as they slept in their beds. Russia hit the apartment blocks with missiles before hitting the first responders with cluster munitions. I saw the crater from the Russian Iskander ballistic missile and saw the shrapnel indentation from cluster munitions in the walls.
X is throttling posts about Ukraine. Again, let's see whether Elon supports citizen journalism when he disagrees with it.
Free speech.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at @USAID.
This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.
What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Take thirteen minutes, or bookmark this for later. This is from @ezraklein, taken from The Ezra Klein Show podcast. It explains precisely what this administration is doing and why it is essential to keep focus and not play into it.

DOGE is a virus that’s actively and maliciously spreading through the Federal Government.
It’s a weapon to allow Elon Musk to take over the basic mechanisms of government and bring them under his power.
There’s a constitutional crisis happening now, and your action is needed.
Here’s what’s happening, how we got here, and what you can do to fight back 🧵

So, why did $TRUMP choose to start a shitcoin and why on Solana?
Shall we follow the 'MoNeY' to find out if there are any conflicts of interest and misaligned incentives?
