"We will maintain order in the country, thanks for the attention of our Russian friends, but I want to tell them and tell everyone else that whatever they organize, however much they pay... it's over."

Industrial farming in the EU is out of control and is destroying our environment

Someone might think in Europe things are not as bad as in the US, but higher population density means more toxicity per area. In the Balkans the numbers might be lower for now, but we all know control is also weaker.

A report by IBM explains part of the hype around GenAI:

25% of AI initiatives have delivered expected ROI over the last few years

52% of CEOs say their organization is realizing value from generative AI investments beyond cost reduction

For 64% of CEOs the risk of falling behind drives investment in some technologies before they have a clear understanding of the value they bring, but only 37% prefer to be “fast and wrong” than “right and slow”

Serbian Government Minister Calls for Belgrade University Rector's Arrest

Clearly unaware of the notion of academic freedom:
"Serbia's Public Investment Minister Darko Glisic on Friday called for the arrest of the Rector of the University of Belgrade, Vladan Djokic, over his support for the students who have been blocking more than 60 university faculties across Serbia in anti-corruption protests which began in November 2024."

North Macedonia's Sekerinska beats Bulgaria's Gabriel to become 2nd in NATO

According to anonymous officials, candidates included Bulgarian Mariya Gabriel, Croatian Kolinda Grabar-Kititarovic, and Montenegrin Olivera Injac.

This appears to suggest that Borissov's GERB did not back Gabriel's candidacy. An update consistent with the developments after the party tanked Gabriel's attempts to negotiate a large coalition for a national government early this year.

The NYT informs Russia about foreign aid deliveries

The @nytimes has published sensitive tactical details about the US arms deliveries to #Ukraine which leads to very specific risks of Russia intercepting these deliveries. Is this necessary? I don't think so.
