Just leaving it here. Estonia 🇪🇪, well done!

When Meta acquired Limitless on Friday, they sent their loyal users email that they will phase out existing products. Fine, happens, startups. Anyone want a bricked Pendant? But hidden in the small(er) print is a pretty outrageous idea of deleting all your data in 14 days:

November 20 Russian top general to Putin: “Kupiansk has been taken under control” December 2 Putin: “We invite foreign media to Kupiansk” December 12 Zelenskyy: “Hello from Kupiansk”

Moscow’s hired guns keep repeating that we can’t use the $300bn of frozen Russian assets in Europe and that doing so would be “unprecedented.” Except… it’s false. Without even going back to the Cold War, the U.S. confiscated about $1.7bn from Iraq’s central bank after the 1990

The U.S. caught Russian government–backed hackers attacking U.S. infrastructure. They damaged water systems in multiple states and forced a meatpacking plant to evacuate because of an ammonia leak. Putin is trying to destroy us from within. If he is not held accountable, he

A couple weeks ago, we ran our first 24h non-stop build with our robots at Monumental (maybe in the world?), running for 36 hours straight to do the brickwork for a transformer substation.

If you plan to invade a European country, Belgium welcomes your money and keeps it safe despite your crimes against humanity.

It's revoltingly patronising. Especially knowing that having NATO HQ in your capital not only brings in lots of cash but also means you have no worries about your security. There is nothing "emotionally satisfying" about saving a country from genocide.

The first NATO Eastern Flank summit was held in Helsinki. Taken together, the Eastern Flank nations form the world’s 8th-largest economy, $2.3 trillion — larger than Russia’s and far more productive per capita. They represent 120 million people. At 5% of GDP, collective defence

Reuters estimates that December 2025 tax revenues in Russia were 55% lower in dollar terms than in January 2025.

2026 is 0% complete.

Thanks, Russia. 😂😂😂😂😂 You won't believe this. On December 27, 2025, numerous media outlets—Ukrainian, Russian, and international sources (e.g., Wikipedia, Euromaidan Press, Kyiv Independent, Russian propaganda channels)—reported the death of the commander of the Russian
