A very happy eighty-something-ish birthday to @JohnCleese (which reminds me that I need to catch back up on his autobiography that my brother gave me).

Musk pokračuje v informační ofenzívě proti Ukrajině tvrzením, že Ukrajinci využívají Starlink k úderům útočným dronovým operacím.
Musk přitom znovu lže, protože zkrátka víme, že terminály Starlinku se používají stacionárně a na mobilních cílech je limit stanoven na něco mezi 70 - 90 km/h, což je pro ukrajinské middle-strike drony prakticky nevyužitelné.
Pojem middle-strike je přitom důležity, protože se vztahuje na údery do hloubky maximálně 160 km. Jak víme, nad Ruskem Starlink/Starshield nefunguje, byť o to Ukrajinci evidentně žádali.
To v praxi znamená, že Ukrajinci útočí na ruské jednotky na okupovaných územích, což je naprosto exemplární příklad využití práva na sebeobranu (ostatně i útoky na vojenské cíle na ruském území jsou příklad sebeobrany).
Nicméně, vzhledem k tomu, že víme, že Starlink je pro middle-strike údery nepoužitelný, bavíme se samozřejmě o omezení terminálů, které používají přístup skrze Starshield.
Musk samozřejmě o tom rozdílu musí moc dobře vědět, přesto se drží vylhané linie o nějakém ukrajinské porušení podmínek.
Ukrajina je čistě fyzicky porušit nemůže. Další a další rány nejen do důvěry mezi USA a Ukrajinou, ale také mezi USA a Evropou a nejhorší na tom je, že to za sebe americká vláda nechává dělat nikým nevoleného bilionáře, který ani nedisponuje mandátem, kterým by vztahy mohl ovlivňovat.
Americká administrativa musí zakročit a hodně rychle, každý další den bude zhoršovat vztahy mezi blízkými spojenci.
Hey, @elonmusk. Indictments incoming like Russian missiles. Might want to skip any European vacations.
The speed limits on Starlink and Starshield are still there. The speed has not been restored. And the delivery of interceptors to protect us against Russian ballistic missiles is still delayed. We’re waiting for interceptors that were already agreed on. But they are still not coming. This is a real problem, because the Russians attack us almost every single day.
All of this is happening while we continue our quite successful operations on the front. We keep defending positions. Things have become harder – partly because of the Starlink and Starshield policies and speed limits. But our frontline is still holding and I am proud of how strong our people are.

I wonder if he said “pretty please with sugar on it?”

In Independence, Missouri, a library that was to be the second stop for an exhibit called "Banned Books as Art" has decided to ban the exhibit.
Librarian Fran Murray, who personally ordered the ban, said she has nothing against any of the books, she just loves irony.

Last week, a hungry homeless man in a stolen truck led Pennsylvania and New Jersey police on a one hundred mile chase before surrendering, when he was promised two egg sandwiches.

🚨🚨URGENT: According to reports, Mehdi Roshani has been sentenced to death after alleged torture, two months of incommunicado detention, and a conviction reportedly based on forced confessions.
The world cannot stay silent while allegations of torture and unfair trials lead to irreversible punishment. Every execution carried out after such allegations demands urgent international attention.
🆘🆘We urge @UNHumanRights @UN @UN_SPExperts @UN_HRC @volker_turk @amnesty @hrw @FIDH_en @OMCTorg @IntlCrimCourt @CIJ_ICJ @EU_Commission @StateDept @POTUS @realDonaldTrump @netanyahu to closely monitor this case and call for due process and the protection of human rights.

A decision by Elon Musk led to restrictions on Ukraine's use of SpaceX's satellite communications network, people familiar with the matter told CBS News. cbsn.ws/4BjiNMv
If I were @elonmusk, I wouldn’t travel to Europe for the next, oh, century or so. European jails aren’t that comfy.

Don’t let the Nazis find out about this, or they’ll turn the Nuremberg rallies into an episode of Girls Gone Wild.
Plankton tried to bribe Squidward once but failed. He was too honorable to agree to a squid pro quo arrangement.
After two terms of Trump, I half expect Sarah Palin to walk up to Tina Fey in an airport or at a fancy dinner somewhere, look her in the eye, and say, “How you like me, now?”
Someone just got thrown under the bus.
