"Crikey, they started without us this time!"

Subjects under the influence of power, acted as if they had suffered a traumatic brain injury—becoming more impulsive, less risk-aware, and, crucially, less adept at seeing things from other people’s point of view

Donald Trump explains air quality meteorology to the U.N. General Assembly. Some say it's the greatest explanation the world has ever seen.

This is disgusting. One is stripped of the royal title because of the things he did with Epstein, but other is being greeted as a dear friend and paraded in the royal carriage.

Of course. He has to be debriefed by his handler.

It was such a humiliation for US

Plus “Trump has already done massive damage to Ukraine and provided great aid to Russia”

Russian aspirations endorsed by USA

This is who they are. This is their core. Dostoyevski in action. “They’d calmly kill us and our children, take our homes, sleep in our beds, even wear our clothes. They don’t see it as repulsive or wrong.”

Carney tells Trump to fuck off in Canadian!

I'm sure by now you've seen the viral clip of Pierre Poilievre dismissively answering questions from a journalist and eating an apple. In light of recent election results, I reached out to the journalist in that clip to get his thoughts. pressprogress.ca/journalist-i...

I’m really surprised that Trump has not suggested that he develop Crimea into a set of resort complexes on the Black Sea & Sea of Azov… …with an AI video of him & Putin on sun lounges to visualise the treat.

IN DEFENSE OF EMPATHY 1/ 🧵 There are ideologies today actively trying to undermine human empathy. Let’s be clear: attacking empathy has no ground to stand on! Empathy is a strength, not a weakness, and here’s why.

This is soooo good! I mean the label, not the wine. Always (!) read the label :)

🇨🇦 Ok, I think this is even better than lobsters moving to Canada, because Canada is cooler. U.S. is busting people with eggs at the Canadian border. Well, to remain fair, they do not allow people with eggs at the Mexican border either. (In Ukrainian “eggs” and “balls” is the same word 🤪)

Lobsters leave US for Canada 🤷‍♀️ www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/natu...

Who would predict this, right?.. It looked like a duck, walked like a duck, talked like a duck, but still.

My two favourite common sense people on Bluesky: Timothy Snyder and Fred Wellman.

Trump represents the opposite of the big stick policy America was once defined by. Trump is all about “tiny stick” and “micro stick energy.” Trump acts tough but carries a small, shriveled, deformed, disgusting micro stick. More… open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

This is a very good one

Wow, what a great example of journalism! I only wish it was from a fiction book. Unfortunately, no. It is about everything: ethics, people, corporations, money…

So clearly explained and easy to read. For someone who can read no amount of propaganda could make questioning anything said in this article. If someone does not like to read, Timothy Snyder also speaks. This means people choose the dark side consciously, not because they are brainwashed.

This is terrifying how they can bully and destroy people.

And till Russia's invasion, this was a 90% a russian speaking city. For their whole history, they claimed as theirs everything where they could get their foot in. And if they cannot have it they destroy it.

My sister’s daily life since Feb 24 2022. Every morning I check if she is alive. I stopped trying to describe how I hate and despise russians. For centuries they destroy everything they can reach.

This is easily forgotten. Our failures over the past 15 or more years to push back against the Kremlin’s attacks has led us to this place.

Each of Trump's proposed appointments is a surprise. It is comforting to think that he is simply a vengeful old man, lashing out. This is unlikely. He and Musk and Putin have been talking for years. And the whole idea was that this time he had a plan. snyder.substack.com/p/decapitati...
