Preparation for a major war has begun in Russia:

Russians cannot travel abroad – departures are being massively blocked due to the full-scale launch of the electronic summons project.

Both Muscovites and residents of other regions are receiving electronic summonses en masse.

Russians also face a ban on driving, cancellation of tax benefits, blocking of property transactions, denial of loans, and other sanctions if they ignore the summons.

Lesson learned: always record your unboxing! It really helps if something goes wrong.

"Historians and legal experts warn that Trump and the Maga world have exploited Kirk’s killing to justify unleashing far-reaching attacks on multiple critics.

Trump and his allies are using 'page one of the authoritarian playbook' in their accelerating attacks on political foes', said Harvard government professor Steven Levitsky, who co-authored the book How Democracies Die."

I don’t just use AI btw. I even own multiple VR headsets and once a year check out Meta’s metaverse.

I just did my yearly check in. It’s still deserted. I eventually managed to find 4 children in a K-pop Demon Hunters world, making fart noises at each other.

A few years ago, leading financial analysts said the Metaverse would be a multi trillion dollar market by now. In actual fact it’s a wet fart, which orgs flushed billions down toilet with based on the word of techbros and Morgan Stanley.
