"Lithuania is the absolute champion in providing aid to Ukraine as percentage of its GDP, followed by Estonia, Denmark, Latvia, Slovakia, Poland, Netherlands, Finland, Czechia, Sweden, Bulgaria and Croatia. Germany ranks immediately after Croatia.

Among the EU’s large economies providing less aid to Ukraine than Germany as percentage of their GDP are France and Italy."

SCOTUS will not rescue America from the nightmare that is Trump and MAGA. They just won't.

They will rule that Trump does not have immunity from prosecution for acts while in office as President, which is hugely important and should be a positive

However they will also rule that he cannot be banned from the contest to become President again because Congress needs to make clarifying law about how the 14th Amendment is applied. After the Civil War it was obvious. Now it's not.

“It is not acceptable that in the government of a democratic country that is an ally of Europe, they say the things they say about the fate of the Palestinians. And they have to understand that criticising the government of Israel cannot be accused of being anti-Zionist,” Borrell said.

@williamgunn @soph_sol @sj I believe this was there also pre-AI. In any case we don't need an AI test. We need a bullshit test.

the content/information rot online since the advent of "AI" a year ago is so real. yesterday when I was searching the internet for reminders on how to do a purl stitch, so many of the top results were random webpages with AI generated instructions that were completely useless. most had no images at all, just a bunch of text, but one even had a couple of (equally useless) pictures!

I hate how hard it's become to find reliable information online these days! It was already getting harder prior to this for other reasons, but AI content has really accelerated the problem.

I used to think "why bother having reference books for non-expert-level information when I can just find that info online in moments about anything I want" but I am starting to change my position on that. maybe I DO need reference books actually.
