A seating chart shows that #Putin & #Trump were supposed to sit across from each other during the luncheon. Trump would be flanked by: Secy of State #MarcoRubio, Secy of #Defense#PeteHegseth & WH Chief of Staff #SusieWiles to his right, & Secy of #Treasury#ScottBessent, Secy of #Commerce#HowardLutnick & Special Envoy for Peace Missions #SteveWitkoff to his left. Putin would be seated next to his Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sergey #Lavrov, & his Aide for Foreign Policy, Yuri #Ushakov.

Also Friday, #Commerce Secy Howard Lutnick sent a letter to Alan M. Garber, #Harvard’s president, claiming that the #university had not lived up to its obligations surrounding federally funded #patents, which are worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Acc/to the letter, the agency will begin a comprehensive review of Harvard’s compliance w/federal #law.
The new pressures on Harvard come during a week when the govt had also taken significant steps to bring other schools into line with its agenda.

@toychicken Yeah, I agree, we need "content creators" here - musicians, artists, writers - first posting alongside the others, then eventually posting on the Fediverse first.

Sorry to offend the anarcho-socialists, but I think the creators will come when we give them the ability to earn money on the Fediverse. Control your output; Build a network; sell your stuff here. See the numbers make sense.

So, anyone working on way to sell stuff on the Fediverse? 😜

I know this is a tongue-in-cheek reference to your BandWagon project, which I've been spruiking to musicians I know, but a couple of other examples;

"Being able to support artists, musicians, game designers, open source developers, and instance admins are a necessity for growing a healthy Fediverse. If we could build standardized support for this kind of market commerce across different platforms, it could have a huge impact on the network’s ability to sustain itself."

Le Canada choisit la méthode forte face aux menaces de Trump: le Premier ministre de la province de l'Ontario Doug Ford bannit les entreprises américaines des contrats publics et déchire son contrat de 100 millions avec Starlink. "Une décision qui va leur faire perdre des dizaines de milliards de dollars de revenus, elles n'ont qu'à blâmer Trump". Chez nous, Bayrou a annoncé le déploiement futur de 200 terminaux Starlink à Mayotte...
