Wake up.
Every profession deemed white-collar, the middle class dream, is about to be decimated by AI, at a much faster pace than anticipated, with monstrous social consequences.

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.

Russia killed a one year old girl in her stroller today. Her mother died in the hospital a few hours later.
Trump: "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Trump's remarks were made the same day Russia conducted a drone strike killing six civilians including children in a Kharkiv region park, plus missile and energy infrastructure attacks leaving hundreds of thousands without power.

Republican Senator Thom Tillis SLAMS Trump for suspending Russia sanctions:
“Beyond irresponsible. What part of enforcing a law passed 86-11 by the Senate does the President and his advisors not understand? It’s unconscionable that this administration is capitulating to a Russian dictator who illegally invaded Ukraine and butchers innocent civilians every single day.
If the President wants to actually bring down energy prices, he can do it by solving the Iran problem, not by doing a solid for Vladimir Putin.”

“we will pay any price….to assure the success and survival of liberty.” Is this still true? Do we prize liberty or do we prize power and purse? No more clear test than the choice between Ukraine and Russia. Abandon Ukraine and we abandon liberty. Eventually even our own.

South Korea’s stock market $KOSPI is down so bad that the president is telling people not to commit suicide
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
President Lee's Oct 13 message encouraging people to live and call 109 was replying to news of declining suicide rates (largely from debt improvements), not the KOSPI drop on Oct 15.

España tiene las pensiones más generosas de Europa. Y eso tiene un coste de oportunidad que hay que explicar.
En España, la pensión inicial equivale al 77% del último salario. La media de la UE es del 45%. Y, según las proyecciones de la AIReF, en 2050 gastaremos en pensiones un 16,4% del PIB, unos 60.000 millones de euros adicionales a precios actuales.
¿Significa esto que el sistema vaya a quebrar? No. Significa que mantenerlo exigirá más impuestos, mayores cotizaciones o recortar otras partidas de gasto.
Y aquí está la cuestión que demasiadas veces se evita: las pensiones no son gratis. Cada euro adicional que destinamos a financiarlas tiene un coste de oportunidad.
Podemos decidir mantener este modelo. Pero entonces debemos explicar quién va a pagar la factura y a qué tendrá que renunciar.
Porque prometer pensiones generosas sin hablar de cómo financiarlas no es defender el Estado del bienestar. Es esconder sus costes a quienes tienen que sostenerlo.

Me hace gracia el pánico que tienen TODOS los partidos para hablar de pensiones
Hablar de pensiones no resta votos. Los jubilados no son imbéciles
Es posible reformar el sistema para hacerlo sostenible sin aplicar recortes a los jubilados actuales: cuentas nocionales y fomentar ahorro privado
Negar la realidad supondrá acabar como Grecia. Y ése sí será el final del partido en el poder

BREAKING: US considers unfreezing Russian assets, with Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner planning a release of up to $100 billion in frozen Russian sovereign assets as an upfront incentive for a limited ceasefire on energy infrastructure, per the FT.
European officials rejected it outright, opposing giving up any control over the assets or returning any to Russia. "This was just simply not going to happen," an EU official said.
At the same time, the US threatened Ukraine this week with a total halt to intelligence sharing if it struck Russian energy sites again.

Estonia’s 11th unicorn is officially Skeleton Technologies. 🇪🇪 But if you count Starship Technologies, the real number is 12.
With 12 billion-dollar startups for a population of 1.3 million, Estonia is an absolute outlier—competing only with Israel and Singapore for the world's highest unicorn density!

Zelensky: It's a pity that we are losing a strong partner.
Morgan: You think you're losing America?
Zelensky: Yeah, but not because of us. We can’t be weak. Otherwise, we can’t survive… This is why it’s painful when Trump chooses to be on Russia’s side. This is not the right side of history.

BREAKING: Volodymyr Zelenskyy tells @piersmorgan he has been betrayed by Trump, that Elon Musk and the US deliberately cut off Starlink and people are being killed as a result
“This is not the right side of history,” he says. “It is a pity that we are losing a strong partner”
On Musk and Starlink he says: “This decision will bring a lot of human losses. Of course, people will die”
“I am sure they knew what they
did, absolutely. Because it was 1am at night, Starlink was blocked by SpaceX and the United States”
“It’s not just about attack. It’s also about defending life. So people were killed because, not enough destroying, not enough
interceptors, including interceptors with Starlink, which didn't work. Of
course.”
Asked if he’s angry with Musk, Zelenskyy says: “Yes, I think he is not right. It's a big mistake.”

Hey, @elonmusk, big man, are you playing politics with your products again?
As your European customers, we are watching you.
⚡️ 'This cannot be a coincidence' — Ukraine's Starlink access restricted without warning, Zelensky adviser says.
Ukraine relies on Starlink to operate its mid-strike drones in Russian-occupied Ukraine.
