i know the BBC is fully in crisis mode right now but this reads to me more like telegraph wish fulfillment but with tice, coutinho and x.com smelling blood, they might be able to will it into existence www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/11...

Man kann es nicht oft genug sagen: Wenn es um realen Islamismus (Taliban) geht statt um Phantasmen (Geflüchtete), ist die Haltung des deutschen Staats eher so "möchten Sie noch einen Kaffee?"

Really grateful for the conversation with Bermet Borubaeva about Bishkek's disappeared trolleybuses. A very specific case, yet so illustrative of many post-transition realities. #BishkekSmog

Will come as a suprise to many: "The results show a clear picture: Individuals with economically left-wing and culturally conservative attitudes tend to score highest on conspiracy thinking. People at this ideological location seem to long for both economic and cultural protection and bemoan a...

What does the European far-right mean when it talks about ecology? What begins with natalism and the desire for closed borders, will ultimately morph into a defense of farmers and support for European industrialists over Chinese imports.

Supporters Praise Trump For Upholding Traditional American Value Of Supporting Murderous Dictators For Political Gain

There is nothing crazy about this. This horrific video epitomizes the logic of current meme-fascism: it's a colonization of the imagination that precedes and aestheticizes real neo-imperialist violence, dressed up in the glossy looks of stock imagery, influencer content and online scamming 1/

COLUMN: What Ukraine has is scorched earth; what it doesn’t have is rare earths. Surprisingly, many people — not least, US President Trump — seem convinced the country has a rich mineral endowment. It’s a folly. [FREE TO READ] #Ukraine @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

It was a pleasure being interviewed by Sean of @euraknot.bsky.social alongside Eve. Since we spoke in early December, this topic has lost none of its relevance—quite the opposite. Fighting the authoritarian turn and fighting climate change needs to go hand in hand. Not only in Eurasia.

Think I preferred the end of history

This is true of pretty much every critique of "woke culture" in the last decade. If you dig down through the layers & layers & layers of puffery & harumphing & table pounding, looking for actual substance, what you find is a few scattered, low-stakes anecdotes repeated ad infinitum.

If Musk’s DOGE team causes the Treasury’s payment system to go down in an extended way, “this country just may not exist…this is really that serious.” — @nathantankus.bsky.social www.levernews.com/elon-musks-h...

a nice reminder to the press that there is nothing you can do to pacify these people or buy yourself leniency

#Musk und #Trump führen in den USA gerade einen administrativen Staatsstreich durch. Deutsche Medien berichten größtenteils, als laufe alles wie immer. Es ist schlimmer, als es scheint, schreibt @ardenthistorian.bsky.social. www.volksverpetzer.de/aktuelles/tr...
