"The Prime Minister has to realize, the US will now be lead by a president whose values we do not share, and who has zero respect for US allies."

These are the words of @pelle, party leader of the Danish party Enhedslisten, who recommends Denmark puts a coming deal about US airbases in Denmark on ice, as a consequence of Trump's offensive words about Greenland.

#Russia underestimated #Chechnya and was defeated in what later became known as the First #Chechen_War.

Later, #Russia learned from its mistakes and won the Second #Chechen_War, levelling #Grozny to the ground.

#Ukraine needs reliable functioning security guarantees for a lasting peace, not just a ceasefire that will allow #Russia to attack again. This is of the utmost importance not just for #Ukraine but for #European security in general.

I'm fully aware that this is a total waste of my time, but given today's news about an Apple settlement relating to Siri audio recordings I wrote this blog post about why I still don't think that companies are spying on us through our phone's microphones: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Jan/2/they-spy-on-you-but-not-like-that/

A reminder that obnoxious, blocking cookie consent banners are not required by law but are there because tech companies had a massive tantrum at being prevented from tracking the bejesus out of you by default.. They don't need to be annoying or intrusive, companies can absolutely choose not to track, to track less, or make the consent experience easier, they choose not to 💩💩💩
