@XFreeze an American writing "the EU thinks they rule the world"... Over 9000 retardness level here.

You have no idea how much headache and torture the 𝕏 team and Elon have to endure with the EU The EU really thinks they rule the world. Their entire regulatory attitude is: “Do exactly as we tell you to do, and nothing more.” It's purely a dictatorship disguised as a democracy You try to comply with one lunatic policy just to get them off your back, and boom... here comes another one, and another one... It's not just for the EU, they've become a pain in the backside for the entire world Then one day, they hit you with a massive fine and try to loot up to half of your global REVENUE. Not even your profit... your gross revenue It's pure extortion. Straight-up economic terrorism dressed in a suit

@krl_grn @Stammy Those rims design significantly reduce the drag coefficient value. It's not as if they make them ugly on purpose...

@Stammy The ugliest rim ever made.

every designer right now is extremely conflicted. On one hand we all have extreme respect for Sir Jony and the LoveFrom team. On the other hand.. the gut feeling that this feels more like a prius than a sporty, desirable, groundbreaking $640k Ferrari EV at first glance. Even the sounds used in the reveal video feel more like Apple DNA than Ferrari

@BullTheoryio They must comply with emissions regulations otherwise they'll receive massive fines, you mighty geniuses. That's why they have hybrids and now the Luce. Then the fact that it may looks horrible is another story.

BREAKING: Ferrari $RACE is down -7.57% today after unveiling its first fully electric car. The company officially debuted the "Ferrari Luce," a 1,050-horsepower vehicle starting at a price of €550,000. While the car boasts extreme acceleration numbers, investors are highly skeptical that traditional buyers want a silent, heavy electric vehicle. Its 2030 revenue projection also came in at €9 billion, nearly €800 million below what analysts were expecting. The stock is now down 41% from its February 2025 peak, One of the worst stretches in Ferrari's history as a public company. Ferrari's entire brand is built on scarcity, combustion engines, and exclusivity. Investors are not convinced its customers want a silent electric car, no matter how expensive it is.

@auteurhouse There were already plenty of retarded back in 2002. The difference is that we weren't constantly bombarded by them as we are today.

@RnaudBertrand 100% reptilian alien hidden under that face mask

This is pretty insane: the U.S. just tried to literally re-colonize part of the Philippines. They did so under the so-called "Pax Silica" initiative, the brainchild of - surprise, surprise - an ex-Palantir guy named Jacob Helberg who now runs U.S. economic "diplomacy" from the State Department. It's causing a big outcry in the Philippines, which is quite a feat given this is by far the most US-friendly country in Southeast Asia. If you're the US and you're getting the Marcos administration - of all governments - to push back on sovereignty, you've really overplayed your hand. What is the "Pax Silica" initiative? In a nutshell it's about the US getting other countries to commit to restructuring their AI tech infrastructure around a US-led stack. It's basically vendor lock-in: you hand over your critical minerals, align your export controls with Washington's, regulate AI the way America wants, and in return you get to be a US "trusted partner," whatever that means these days. In essence, let's not kid ourselves, it's all about China: this is the US's initiative to "win the AI race" by getting other countries to contractually commit to keeping China out of their tech supply chains. When you can't preserve your lead through innovation, you seek to lock countries in contractually. For instance as a country, this would mean telling Huawei they can't sell you AI chips, and telling Chinese firms they can't invest in your data centers - even if they're better and cheaper. It's not about choosing the best technology, it's about choosing the right flag. But in this instance, the US went much further still: they literally tried to carve out 4,000 acres of Philippine territory (in New Clark City, 60 miles north of Manila) to be governed under US common law with diplomatic immunity - the first arrangement of its kind anywhere in the modern world. This is according to the WSJ who ran the story last month (wsj.com/world/asia/u-s…) as if it was a done deal (it wasn't). Heard about the "French concession" or "British concession" in China during the century of humiliation? Same thing: the US basically asked for an "American concession" in the Philippines. Unsurprisingly, there was quite a bit of backlash in the country with for instance the Peasant Movement of the Philippines (KMP) calling it a “massive sellout” of the country’s land, minerals, and sovereignty (punto.com.ph/us-led-pax-sil…). So much so that the Philippines' government - namely Joshua Bingcang, president and chief executive of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) - issued a statement saying that the Philippines had rejected US proposals that would place the project beyond local jurisdiction (asianews.network/philippines-re…). Note, by the way, this delicious irony: the BCDA is the government agency that was created in 1992 specifically to convert former US military bases at Clark and Subic Bay after the Philippines spent decades negotiating their closure. New Clark City - where the Pax Silica's hub would go - is built on the old Clark Air Base. So the agency whose entire reason for existing is to turn former American colonial territory (i.e. US military bases) into sovereign Philippine land is the one now being asked to hand part of that very same land back under US jurisdiction (and, apparently, declined). Of course though, blocking this specific jurisdiction grab doesn't change the bigger picture. The Philippines is still a Pax Silica signatory, and Pax Silica itself is structurally neocolonial: you supply the cheap labor and raw materials, align your export controls and regulations with Washington's, cut yourself off from the world's rising technological powerhouse - and in exchange you get assembly jobs and the privilege of getting a pat on the head and being called a "trusted partner." They dropped the most cartoonishly colonial demand - governing Philippine soil under US law - but the underlying architecture is the same: you serve America's supply chain, on America's terms, and you relinquish your sovereign right to trade with whoever offers the best deal.

@JacobL1994_ a flag wrapped cat posting a cringe and low iq comment masked as pretentious words is enough X for a whole month, maybe a full year.

So, Russia just hit Kyiv with an Oreshnik tonight, which is scary if you know nothing about missiles. All Oreshnik is is an RS28 Sarmat, with its nuclear warheads removed and replaced with an inert kinetic weapon. Will it kill you if it hits you? Well obviously. But other than that? It’s not a useful weapon. It’s built for a nuclear payload and doesn’t have the accuracy for conventional use. The whole purpose of this weapon was to shock the world when it came out in 2024: “OMG! They’re using IRBMs in a tactical role! They must be serious!” But Iran just did it like 2000 times over the same period. It’s shock value is gone

@KristinaBack1 @UN_News_Centre thanks, it was the result of your low iq comment.

@DavMas8 @UN_News_Centre Nice selfie you got there.

Dire conditions in Gaza marked by continuing violence, rodent infestations and the spread of infectious disease are being made worse by blockages of essential medical supplies, UN agencies said on Friday. news.un.org/en/story/2026/…

@KristinaBack1 @UN_News_Centre

@UN_News_Centre Hmmm...well maybe just maybe Egypt or Jordan could help? No....they won't let even 1 Palestinian in? Hmmm i wonder why? 🤔

@oxymoronMD @Brutaka5 @Pirat_Nation ....and?

Visa and Mastercard will finally face some competition. Europe is building its own payment system that will launch in late 2026, when about 130 million people in 13 countries will be able to use it. It integrates the Wero app with national services like Bizum in Spain, Bancomat in Italy, MB Way in Portugal, and Vipps and MobilePay in the Nordic countries. The system transfers money instantly from one bank account to another using Europe’s fast payment network, so people can keep using their usual apps while a central link simplifies cross-border payments. It starts with person-to-person payments in late 2026 and adds online and in-store payments in 2027. They want to cut costs and keep money and data inside Europe, and rely less on foreign card companies like Visa and Mastercard. This will not replace Visa or Mastercard completely, as those cards will remain useful for travel and some shops, but it is a good alternative for Europeans to the usual payment processors.

@Brutaka5 @Pirat_Nation Are you stupid? is an alternative to American system Visa and Mastercard. This is something that we needed already 30 years ago.

@Pirat_Nation Europe has turned into a controlling and horrible state. Why would anyone believe what Europe is making will be any better than what is out there already?

@iwpraveen @erotomanes another one bites the dust...

@erotomanes They lack character and designers are mot involved yet due to lack of commercial viability

why do quantum computers look like that

@Fluffster16 @Coinvo and bring out with you all the 'tards that liked your post, especially the one that bookmarked it.

@Fluffster16 @Coinvo are you stupid? blind-operated means "able to use without looking at it" it doesn't mean "blind people must be able to use it". Go touch some grass before you fry your last neurons

WOW: 🇨🇳🇪🇺 China and Europe will introduce new rules that require cars to have physical buttons. "We believe car controls must be 'blind-operable' and touchscreens can be a safety risk on the road."

@AJENews Weren't they in "full control of the Strait" just ten minutes ago? 😂

@mintunderground @kyleichan

@kyleichan What’s the point or purpose of this demonstration? Heck why should this matter. Most boring robot ever. Any intelligence to this robot or just to show sites? Quit funding bots like this. A waste of everything.

This Chinese humanoid robot just shattered the world record for a half marathon, finishing in 50 min 26 sec. This video shows its crash just meters before the finish line where it had to be picked up by a team of humans. The robot is from Honor, the smartphone maker and Huawei spin-off. This robot was teleoperated while others were autonomous. It seems like all the robots had battery swaps along the way.

@infinitebooks ...and then you read the same tweet on 10 different accounts in the span of 24h. You're all pathetic.

@OPFOR_Ninja @cryptivaaa @Osinttechnical yes we know we know... you are uber alles, the best in doing wars and killing people.

@cryptivaaa @Osinttechnical You think the EU will actually prevent us from doing that, lol. The EU has nothing, and the moment it shows aggression, they are toast. They peacock, it makes them feel good that is all they are good for, talking.

ADS-B data shows that USAF bombers conducting strike missions on Iran from England are completely avoiding continental European airspace.

@chibio @AFP yes, I think "Yankee go home"

@AFP Are they trying to "write" something?

@forgedmedicine @robertlufkinmd My grade III chondromalacia in both knees at 13yo wasn't certainly due to mileage. I Always suspected metabolic dysfunction ...docs just shrugs their shoulders.

@robertlufkinmd The idea that osteoarthritis is purely “wear and tear” never fully matched what I see in clinic. The common thread isn’t just load. It’s metabolic dysfunction. Insulin resistance. Inflammation. Muscle loss. The joint is structural. The environment is systemic

I used to teach that osteoarthritis was "wear and tear" — lose weight, take painkillers, wait for a knee replacement. A study just published in Cell Metabolism proved that wrong. Semaglutide (Ozempic) didn't just reduce joint pain in osteoarthritis patients — it reversed cartilage damage. MRI showed new cartilage growth in weight-bearing knee areas after just 24 weeks. The key finding: this wasn't about weight loss. Pair-fed mice that lost the same weight showed zero cartilage protection. Semaglutide appears to work by reprogramming chondrocyte metabolism — switching cells from inefficient glycolysis (2 ATP) to oxidative phosphorylation (up to 36 ATP). Translation: it's a metabolic fix, not a mechanical one. Osteoarthritis affects 600 million people. We've been treating it as a structural problem. It's a metabolic one.
