@Microinteracti1 There is an Hungarian uprising exactly 70 years after the first uprising. Be warned however: The 1956 uprising was brutally suppressed by Russian troops being sent in.

Tonight in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square, something is shifting. A sea of young Hungarians, who have grown up knowing nothing but Orbán’s iron grip, are out in the cold, singing, chanting, and daring to believe that things can change. These are people who have never voted in a free election. They have watched the courts get packed, the press get muzzled, and the money flow to Orbán’s cronies while they were handed nationalism and grievance in return. Tonight they are saying: enough. What makes this remarkable is who has kept Orbán in power. Donald Trump calls him a great leader. Vladimir Putin calls him a friend. Two men who have made careers out of crushing the thing these young Hungarians are standing in Heroes’ Square demanding: accountability, dignity, a future that belongs to them and not to a political machine. Orbán has sold Hungary’s sovereignty in two directions at once, cuddling up to Moscow while draining Brussels. His people have paid the price in rigged institutions, stifled opportunity, and a media landscape where independent journalism is a survival sport. But Hungary’s millions have not disappeared. They have been waiting. And tonight in Budapest, they are making noise.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Stay connected, Follow Gandalv @Microinteracti1

KAROLINE LEAVITT: “Iran has been defeated. Any violence beyond this point will be because Iran refused to understand they have already been defeated.” That’s a bit like playing chess with a pigeon. It'll just knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut about like it's won anyway.

Pete Hegseth just unveiled “Greater North America.” A new strategic map — from Greenland to the Gulf of America — claiming every sovereign nation north of the equator is part of America’s security perimeter.

@JohnBouras3230 @Bret_Sears 100% agree. This is right wing assumptions and chatter collated to look like facts. Yes Canada needs to build more housing, and build out its manufacturing. Thats the problem. Expanding the population too quickly without sufficient planning. But population growth is key for gdp

This isn’t serious analysis. It’s grievance theatre. Canada has real problems: housing shortages, weak productivity, and too-high immigration relative to infrastructure. But none of that proves a plot, and it sure as hell doesn’t prove ‘genocide.’ Life expectancy rose in the latest StatsCan data, real GDP still grew in 2025, MAID is a regulated legal regime with consent and safeguards, and the ‘millions of Indians in five years’ line is a dishonest conflation of permanent residents, temporary permits, and visitors. Criticize policy all you want, but when your argument depends on fake numbers and ethnic scapegoating, you’re not diagnosing Canada’s problems. You’re exploiting them.

This exchange between Tucker Carlson and Professor Jiang Xueqin on the current state of Canada is worth watching. TUCKER: You mentioned Canada. Most Americans don't even know the capital of Canada. Canada does not appear on their radar, doesn't figure in their thoughts. But you described it as probably, quote, probably the richest country in the world. I think that's objectively true. And yet Canada is not a rich country. In fact, it's getting poorer. Its life expectancy is declining. Its GDP is declining, and that's on purpose. The nation of Canada has been suppressed on purpose. Its population is being killed off by the state through its assisted suicide program and its population is changing through mass immigration against the will of the population. So that country is being held down on purpose. And my question is, by whom and why? JIANG: Sure. That's a great question. And it's something that I struggle with all the time because I am a Canadian citizen. I went to school there. So my answer is that Canada was never really a nation-state. It's more of a glorified resource colony for the British, the city of London and the reality is now that the British are under a lot of strain, the state of London is under a lot of financial pressure. It sees places like Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. And what do you do if you have financial issues? You do corporate restructuring, right? You change the middle management. right and historically you know the British got along very well with the Indian elite right they went into India and stole tons of dollars from uh the indians and the Indian elite were perfectly happy to help them so why not use the same model for Australia and for Canada So there are millions of Indians who immigrated to Canada in the past five years and it's put a lot of strain on the Canadian economy because housing prices have exploded and so ordinary Canadians can no longer afford to buy a house. And it's put tremendous pressure on the Canadian welfare system, on the Canadian economy. And you would think that the proper strategy would have a moratorium where they're like, you know what, we've had too many immigrants and we need to close the borders and absorb these immigrants because we want to ensure that these immigrants have proper housing, they have decent jobs, right? You would think that that'd be the right strategy. And instead, Mark Carney goes to India and says, we want more Indians, and also, we'll give you scholarships to come to Canada to study for free. Meanwhile, there are a lot of Canadians who are homeless, who are unemployed, and who cannot put food on the table. But hey, we want more Indians. So if it's not corporate restructuring, if it's not trying to asset strip Canada, I really don't understand the strategy for this. TUCKER: Well, I mean, it's a kind of genocide against Canadians, people whose ancestors built the country, but you wonder what the purpose is. Because it is happening all over the West, all over the English speaking world in the white countries. And it's not an accident, it's not organic. So it's a big picture that spans from Australia to Ottawa.

Elon Musk just dated the death of human language and explained exactly why it has to die. Musk: “Our brain spends a lot of effort compressing a complex concept into words.” Language isn’t communication. It’s failed compression. You have a complete thought. You crush it into words. The listener gets fragments and attempts reconstruction. Everything important dies in translation. We don’t communicate. We approximate and hope it’s close enough. Musk: “You would be able to communicate very quickly and with far more precision.” Neuralink doesn’t improve communication. It replaces it. No compression. No loss. Direct cognitive transfer at the speed thoughts occur. Not describing the painting. Transmitting the experience itself. Musk: “You wouldn’t need to talk.” Five to ten years until brain interfaces make speech optional. Talking persists for sentiment. For information? Speech becomes primitive compared to direct neural transmission. Lifetime of memory in one second. Complete schematics transferred instantly. Not summaries. The entire thought structure whole and uncompressed. Not better communication. Actual telepathy at physical information limits. Musk: “Ideally, we are a symbiosis with artificial intelligence.” Humans who don’t merge with AI at high bandwidth don’t just fall behind. They become incomprehensible to the intelligence that matters. We’re already cyborgs with pathetic interfaces. Phones extend cognition through typing at words per minute when bandwidth should be terabytes per second. Neuralink doesn’t optimize that. It detonates the constraint. Five to ten years. Not fiction. Deployment window. From language as default to neural link as standard. From compressing thoughts into inadequate words to transmitting uncompressed cognition. From humans using AI to humans indistinguishable from AI at communication speeds. The species that survived by evolving language is making it extinct with technology matching how fast we actually think. The ones who don’t transition won’t just be slow. They’ll operate at such reduced bandwidth they become effectively deaf to everything happening at neural speed around them. Language served 50,000 years. It has less than a decade before it becomes smoke signals. Functional but hopelessly inadequate for anything that matters.

I want to thank the United States Congress for voting to end tariffs on Canadian products to the United States. Tariffs between our two countries causes higher prices for American and Canadian consumers and decreases business competitiveness on both sides of the border. Canada and the United States have a very special trade and military alliance that we should be working to strengthen. Alberta looks forward to working with the Congress and the U.S. administration towards a tariff free future between our great nations.

@FoodProfessor From my recollection I don’t believe Trump threatened to ANNEX Mexico. Us Canadians get a little twitchy when our sovereignty is threatened and we are economically attacked. Let’s compare apples and tomatoes shall we?!

"Mexico will save CUSMA for Canada—not the other way around. Mexico has out-negotiated, out-witted, and frankly out-smarted Canada at every turn, all without slipping into emotional reactions—even after Trump unilaterally renamed the Gulf of Mexico." More on The Food Professor Podcast below.

Lindsey Graham: "As to Stephen Miller, to my colleagues who believe you can convince Donald Trump that Stephen Miller is a liability for him, good luck with that. When this clock strikes 12 on the Trump era, there will be a few people walking out the door with Donald Trump. Stephen Miller will be in that group. I want everybody to know on the Republican side."

🚨🚨You have to hand it to Mark Rutte for bringing this up directly with Trump in Davos. Trump keeps pushing that ugly line that Europe “never shows up” for the United States, and it is not just wrong, it is disrespectful to the people who actually bled alongside Americans. Rutte did something many leaders avoid: he corrected the record to Trump’s face, in public, without turning it into a shouting match. He reminded him of the one example nobody can spin away: Afghanistan. Europeans did not just participate, they paid in lives. His point landed because it was factual and moral at the same time. Rutte’s message was basically this: if the US were attacked, Europe would show up, without hesitation, and history already proved it. Then he closed by anchoring it in alliance unity. It is exactly what more European leaders should do when Trump repeats that “Europe never helps” nonsense. Stay connected, Follow Gandalv @Microinteracti1

BREAKING: The “Board of Peace” has officially been ratified. In a bold new strategy to win the Nobel Peace Prize, Donald Trump has assembled a “Board of Peace” comprised almost entirely of dictators, imperialists, fascists, and men with impressive body counts. Truly inspiring stuff. Somewhere, Alfred Nobel is aggressively rolling over.
