One of the most interesting executive orders so far: Trump is (again) forcing hospitals to advertise accurate pricing information. I say again because he already tried doing this in 2019 with another executive order requiring the disclosure of pricing for 300 common services. But sounds like actual compliance isow.

One of the things I'm doing with the Simple Proof funding is working on a total re-write of the rust-opentimestamps library. I'm hoping improve the API and make it more useful, as well as implement missing functionality like actually creating timestamps. You can see my progress here:

Russia has repeatedly flown attack drones full of explosives through Romania to attack Ukraine without permission. It's was just a matter of time before a Romanian was killed by one of these drones – a significant percentage fail and they've repeatedly crashed on Romanian soil. Romania _finally_ changed the law to allow their air force to shoot these dangerous drones down. Which they can easily and safely do out at sea. Absurdly, 99 Romanian politicians – all from a pro-Russian party - voted against the law. Just treasonous.

Direct attack on the Chernobyl containment shield by a Russian drone. They're just evil. Negotiations are stupid. the only goal that makes sense is exterminating them.

“The Office for Budget Responsibility calculates that a low-skilled migrant by the age of 80 will, on average, have cost the taxpayer £582,000 and low-wage migration in general will end up producing a net fiscal cost running into the tens of billions.” Nice to see more coverage from mainstream media that acknowledges that low skilled immigration does not contribute to the economy. The idea that it'll fix declining birthrates is a blatant lie. https://www.thetimes.com/article/e4e18fd8-d9b1-4171-b16b-4428de00fa3c?shareToken=76f644fe0efd09128de8ed58763a0018
