Neom to be finished by 2080 and cost $9 trillion or 25 times the annual budget (if it works that is)

Zero chance the Saudis are going to play along with Trumps dirt cheap oil. They can’t afford it. If the Saudis continue, then their future is dependent on the success of Sim Cities NEOM.

US President Donald Trump says "many elements" of a peace agreement in Ukraine have been agreed with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, ahead of their much anticipated phone call.

Trump posted on Truth Social that he will speak with Putin on Tuesday morning.

He said that while there have been agreements, "much remains" to be worked upon.

"Each week brings 2,500 soldier deaths, from both sides, and it must end NOW. I look very much forward to the call with President Putin," Trump wrote.

He earlier told reporters that "we're going to see if we can work a peace agreement, a ceasefire and peace, and I think we'll be able to do it".

Zuck.ai is malfunctioning.

On that note Zuck has always been really weird.

What working for Zuck is like according to this excerpt:
"She added, “[M]ost days, working on policy at Facebook was way less like enacting a chapter from Machiavelli and way more like watching a bunch of fourteen-year-olds who’ve been given superpowers and an ungodly amount of money, as they jet around the world to figure out what power has bought and brought them.”"

The book is called "Careless People" btw. You can probably download a PDF version off of Yandex or something similar.

Vietnam is adopting Standard Gauge Railway (same as China's gauge railway) for all her high-speed rail in the country, North to South, including ones connecting to China itself.

Anyone with a modicum of understanding of geopolitics knows that Game Over, GG.

Not even Russia-China shares the same Rail Gauge connection - yet China achieved that with Vietnam. If you read Western pundits, you would think Vietnam would never adopt HSR/gauge size tech of China due to adversarial relations - this is farther from the truth. Yes, they are unusually silent too.
US quietly scrapping its proposal for a standard US randomized sinewave rail gauge for Vietnam, like an Oscars loser scrunching up his carefully prepared speech

This is off that book from an ex employee, right? Well if it is, she lost credibility when she tried to make it look like Zuckerberg was going to give away the farm just to get Facebook in China. No need to point that out because Zuckerberg gave up on China on his own. So mentioning it was moot because he never followed through. That little tidbit proves the author was disgruntled and not because Facebook was kowtowing.
