Renault CEO François Provost told Reuters the company is currently facing demand for electric cars that exceeds its production capacity.

Прем'єр Польщі Туск: Учора я дуже довго розмовляв із пані прем'єр Італії Мелоні, яка не в захваті від того, що існує такий формат, як E3 (Франція, Британія, Німеччина) Сьогодні вранці я довго розмовляв із канцлером Мерцом, який пояснював мені мотивацію і детально виклав перебіг, чи точніше хід, бо результатів немає, перебіг переговорів у Лондоні Я сказав, що з погляду Польщі жодні домовленості, у яких Польща не бере участі, нами не будуть поважатися Тобто вони нас не зобов'язуватимуть. А Польща є абсолютно необхідною ланкою, щоб про майбутнє України та регіону серйозно говорити Я також дуже обережний щодо тих ідей, які з'являються в західній частині Європи, щоб якомога швидше розпочати якийсь діалог чи розмову з путіним щодо України

Final part in the series by @tomaspueyo. Belgium is singled out for special insanity, even for European standards: "⁠⁠In 2022, less than 10% of Belgian visas were for work! Of those, only 2 percentage points were for high-skilled work or research! Madness!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠So where do the rest go? 15% are for study, which is OK. But a whopping 52% are for family! This is nonsensical. For every work residence permit, there are five family permits! That should be dramatically curtailed." unchartedterritories.tomaspu…

From fall 2025 through spring 2026, the words “aerostat notice” have appeared hundreds of times on Russian Telegram channels that monitor Ukrainian air threats. Over 1,000 Ukrainian balloons have drifted east into Russia since fall 2025. A skilled team can deploy one in 15 minutes. At least one went 4,000 km deep into Russian airspace. They carry retroreflective decoys, surveillance equipment, bombs, attack drones, or radio repeaters that help with long-range drone guidance. They have been instrumental in attacks on refineries, railways, and other high-value targets. While inconspicuous and hard to pick up on radar, the trick isn't always to hide— Russian crews unload Pantsirs, Tors, Buks, even S-400 missiles at these aerostats, especially when they drift around sensitive areas like Moscow. This cheap, simple technology, taking advantage of prevailing winds that blow towards Russia, is on the rise among Ukrainian forces. euromaidanpress.com/2026/05/…

✅ CONFIRMED Kevin Warsh has been confirmed as the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System!

Elon Musk just revealed what’s actually holding AI back. It’s not chips. Not models. Not data. It’s concrete. Someone asked him the obvious question. Why not just build private power plants next to data centers? Bypass the grid entirely. His answer was four words. Musk: “The power plant makers.” There aren’t enough of them. You can design the best chip on earth. Train a frontier model. Raise $10 billion for a hyperscale data center. None of it matters if you can’t power it. Musk: “You can drill down a level further.” GPUs need power. Power needs turbines. Turbines need factories. Factories need permits. Permits need a government that hasn’t paralyzed itself. Every link in the chain is physical. And every one of them is breaking. We can train a frontier model in weeks. We can’t permit a power plant in under five years. The country that invented the assembly line now needs 40 agencies to approve a gas turbine. China doesn’t have this problem. They don’t run 7-year environmental reviews on infrastructure they need tomorrow. They break ground while America requests approval to break ground. The AI race won’t be decided by whoever writes the best algorithm. It’ll be decided by whoever can still build in the physical world. We spent 30 years getting faster in software and slower in steel. Outsourcing manufacturing. Hollowing out supply chains. Treating builders like liabilities instead of assets. Now the bill is due. Every breakthrough in AI is gated by atoms. Steel. Concrete. Turbines that take years to manufacture and decades to approve. The smartest code on earth is worthless without electricity. Musk didn’t give a speech about this. He didn’t need to. He answered one question and the whole infrastructure myth collapsed. “Where do you get the power plants from?” Follow that thread far enough and you stop finding a technology problem. You find a civilization that mastered thinking and forgot how to build.

‼️ZELENSKYY: We will begin joint production with Norway of long-range 155mm artillery shells “Our soldiers at the front, in fact, in all combat brigades, talk about a long caliber of artillery, long-range artillery shells. Killzones are increasing. The use of drones of all types is a priority. But the soldiers themselves say: artillery is needed, and especially long-range artillery. So now we have a new and very strong agreement with Norway. We will begin joint production of long-range 155mm artillery shells — exactly the type of ammunition we need. I thank Norway for taking such a necessary step” - Ukrainian President on Sunday, May 10th.

Peter Thiel on what aliens would mean for our military technology: “It’s not that they might be demons or angels—they must be demons or angels.” “If you have faster than light travel, if you have warp drive (what you need to cover interstellar distances) what that means for military technology is that you can send weapons at warp speed, and they will hit you before you ever see them coming.” “There is no defense against a warp speed weapon. You could take over the whole universe before anybody could see you coming.” With @joerogan

🇮🇷 Iranian Navy Chief: Soon, we’ll reveal a weapon they deeply fear—right on their doorstep. Hope it doesn’t give them a heart attack!

Insane video of Ukrainian drones earlier today hitting two Russian military helicopters an Mi8 and Mi-24 attack helicopter parked at a makeshift airfield 150km behind the frontline in Voronezh region.

DJI unveiled its new FC200 transport drone. Standout feature: a four-drone coordinated formation that has a max payload of 600 kg. This will change lots of industries.
