I believe this will be considered one of the most important videos in US history from this time.

Among those species is human.
So far there hasn’t been sustained human-to-human transmission, but if we keep giving the virus chances, it is just a matter of time.

Orbán out. Vučić out.
Eastern Europe is giving me so much joy right now.

The MAGA influencers weren't enough to save Putin's favorite candidate in the Serbian elections.
Vucic has just conceded.

Is RaTG13 a "yes see'em" reverse genetics system? It rather comprehensively fails the "is it natural" test that SARS-CoV-2 itself passed, which was based on estimating where the BsaI/BsmBI sites should be based on recombination and mutational drift...

This is demonstrably true. Previously, each Vatnik Soup thread received between 300k and 5M impressions. Now, we're lucky if we get 100k.
Our annual views have dropped from 700M to 280M. Posts about Ukraine shared by accounts with millions of followers barely get any traction, whereas our more generic posts about AI, for example, can get millions of views.
Ukraine is still one of the hottest topics on this platform, yet voices supporting the country are being throttled, just like Starlink/Starshield was.

The US is willing to betray its closest allies in Europe, a market of 450 million people and an economy worth nearly $20 trillion, just to cut shady, corrupt deals with Putin's Russia, an economy roughly the size of Italy's.
What an absolutely insane foreign policy.

Elon, you absolute fucking moron. The Nazis were far-right fascists who destroyed labor unions, persecuted communists and socialists, and murdered political opponents. Hitler literally purged the party’s left wing.
Calling Nazis socialists because of their name is like believing North Korea is democratic because it calls itself the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
Imagine being the richest man alive and still being too fucking stupid to understand history at a middle-school level. Money can buy you a platform, Elon. Apparently, it can’t buy you a functioning brain.

🧵A Russian governor accused Ukraine of "particular cynicism" for bombing an Iskander missile plant at 6 PM because workers were heading home.
If a ballistic missile factory is off-limits when the shift ends, Russia expects total war to keep office hours. 1/🧵

6/ I’m sorry Mr Musk this all sounds a bit too far fetched and all a bit too late. The fact that normal service appears to have been resumed seems the most obvious counter to this weak and delayed excuse for the needless loss of life over the last week or so.

Barack Obama decided to hit Pete Hegseth with the elbow from the top rope. Absolutely brutal takedown.

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.

The arrival of people, rats, fire, and hunting transformed New Zealand’s ecology almost immediately.
It is often said, rightly, that Europeans wrought ecological disaster in areas that had hitherto been pristine. However, as New Zealand shows us, ecocide is not purely a European preserve.

The most important thing today is that Starlink and Starshield operations have been restored to the speeds we had before the restrictions. The speeds are now where they need to be. The restoration began overnight, and by this morning, speeds were already sufficient. This matters: for our frontline logistics, for defending Ukraine against jet-powered “shaheds.”
I thank all Americans and all our partners who took this seriously and truly helped – members of Congress, senators, all the media, the State Department, and the President. Protecting lives matters.
