I often get asked whether I'm "#left or #right" i.e., #liberal vs #conservative (#tribalism #partisanship #TED summary: youtube.com/watch?v=8SOQdu… by @jonhaidt). Get his #book amzn.to/2sYSkTB or #interview on #TVO youtube.com/watch?v=jQcDw1… (#TPL: torontopubliclibrary.ca/search.jsp?Ntt…) #2f

Charlie Munger’s 1998 Harvard speech is the ultimate cheat code for life. He compressed 74 years of billionaire wisdom into just 30 minutes. Most people spend 4 years in college and learn less than what’s in this video. Save this video, you will come back to this.

Killer. Most dangerous in your city is not crime or traffic. It’s the air. 7 million people die from air pollution annually - more than malaria, TB, and HIV/AIDS combined. Silent killer, in plain sight. UN_HABITAT Cities know how to have clean air: fewer cars. But fail to act!

One of the greatest Russian psyops was convincing millions of crayon-eating pudding brains that they could do their own research. The idea was to break down trust in the West in institutions, education, and experience - and it worked.

😅 Trump: The conflict between Aberbaijan and Albania was going on for 34-35 years. I got that one settled.

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

As a person who was born and socialised in russia, I tell you what Putin and russia think about having a Putin-Trump meeting in Alaska. It means Putin goes to... russia. Let me explain why - in this thread. First, you need to know that the "Alaska myth" is essential for russia /1

Happy National Day, #Switzerland! 🎂And I hope you'll get over the #tariffs, you're in select company, anyway 🙃 youtube.com/watch?v=mo4m5F…

@dorulets @NicusorDanRO @POTUS So many AI generated profiles controlled by Putin's puppeteers..

Alegerile au trecut, iar noul președinte și-a preluat mandatul. Este momentul ca noi toți să trecem peste disensiunile electorale și să rupem din nou pită împreună. Inamicii noștri își doresc să ne vadă divizați pentru a ne putea stăpâni. Haideți să ne unim în spatele celui care a câștigat, să-l credităm cu încrederea noastră și să-l susținem pentru formarea unui guvern care să rezolve problemele pe care le resimțim cu toții.

Honored to speak with @POTUS and thank him for his warm congratulations and strong leadership. The U.S. is Romania’s closest ally and vital strategic partner. I reaffirmed my steadfast commitment to deepening our Strategic Partnership across all shared priorities. I look forward to close cooperation with President Trump and his Administration. God bless the enduring Romania–U.S. friendship!

Watched @LateNightSeth youtube.com/watch?v=pdXuVm… 2C that @realDonaldTrump says #rawearth suggesting he doesn't know what #RareEarths R and they're everywhere (so the whole thing is just a pretext)+ @TheDailyShow youtube.com/watch?v=OeUZI5… for apt #WWE metaphor; H/T @ZelenskyyUa

Ukrainian-made hilarious summary of what took place in the Oval Office between Trump, Vance, and President Zelensky. Enjoy! 😂😂😂

#USA #GoldCard not as good as @realDonaldTrump's #DiamondCard; I bet @elonmusk can #Grok one better 😎youtube.com/watch?v=vfbnaF… #MAGA #immigration #ImmigrationReform #sellout #gildedage #robberbaron #robberbarons #givemeyourtiredyourpoor #corruption #ethics

@Gerashchenko_en Otherwise his special effects team did a good job, actually...

I doubt that @elonmusk understands who @CG_Romania is. He stands alone among other mystical #neonazis ( theatlantic.com/magazine/archi… ) in suggesting that the #car #industry (a driver for his country and world prosperity) can be replaced by the #horseindustry youtube.com/shorts/3mCWts_…

@gbuhnici this would've been a good opportunity for you to start posting in English. "hai sa postam in engleza, da' voi intai" sounds hollow

Folks, we need to talk about something important: there are now two Romanias. One where we actually live, and another one being constructed on X (formerly Twitter) for the American audience. And the gap between them grows larger every day. Let me break down what's happening: - X is no longer just a social network - it's become Americans' primary news source - Influencers with hundreds of thousands of followers are coming to Bucharest - They're exclusively talking to a single candidate and a single party - They're building a very specific narrative about our country - Their message gets amplified by Elon Musk's algorithms I said this on Digi24 and I'll say it again: if we don't like what's being said about us, we have two options: 1. Sit around and complain 2. Actively join the conversation I say we go with option 2. How? - Post in English - Engage directly with these influencers in their comments - Present our perspective - from people who actually live here No, creating a European social network isn't the solution. That would take years, and Americans already control the important platforms. We need to play on their field, by their rules, but with our truth. About money and funding... let me just say this from my experience as a content creator: nobody travels the world with production teams paying from their own pocket. And X ads revenue won't even cover your plane tickets. Draw your own conclusions... (For more details on this, see my previous post👇) ----- Fraților, trebuie să vorbim despre ceva important: există două Românii acum. Una în care trăim noi și alta care se construiește pe X (fostul Twitter) pentru publicul american. Și diferența dintre ele crește pe zi ce trece. Să vă explic ce se întâmplă: - X nu mai e doar rețea socială, e principala sursă de știri pentru americani - Influenceri cu sute de mii de followeri vin la București - Discută doar cu un singur candidat și un singur partid - Construiesc o narațiune foarte precisă despre țara noastră - Sunt amplificați de algoritmii lui Elon Musk Am spus-o la @Digi24_HD și o repet: dacă nu ne place ce se spune despre noi, avem două opțiuni: 1. Să stăm și să ne plângem 2. Să intrăm activ în conversație Eu zic să alegem varianta 2. Cum? - Să postăm și în engleză - Să interacționăm direct cu acești influenceri în comentarii - Să prezentăm și perspectiva noastră, a celor care chiar trăim aici Nu, nu e o soluție să ne facem o rețea socială europeană. Asta ar dura ani și oricum americanii controlează deja platformele importante. Trebuie să jucăm pe terenul lor, cu regulile lor, dar cu adevărul nostru. Despre bani și finanțare... să zicem doar că din experiența mea de creator de conținut știu sigur un lucru: nimeni nu călătorește prin lume cu echipe de producție plătind din buzunarul propriu. Iar din ads pe X nu-ți scoți nici măcar biletele de avion. Draw your own conclusions... (Pentru mai multe detalii despre asta, vezi postarea mea de ieri👇)

Putin scored a major victory over the U.S., NATO, and Ukraine this week, which is why Putin did not negotiate with Biden or Zelensky. He waited to negotiate with Trump because he believed the Kremlin would get more out of a Trump deal. And he was absolutely right.
