If you got some money linked to (corruption-ridden) Deutsche Bank, now it’ll be the time to salvage it.

#Merzoni, with the willing participation of 🇪🇺President von der Leyen, have formed a pact to dilute the power of the European Union and return it to national capitals in order to carry out corporate wishes. It is the opposite of Draghi's vision. Yet they are citing him as their inspiration.

This is Sophocles-level material.

Pot, kettle. National governments have blocked all progress of the EU internal market for 20 years. Deregulation is not the answer, breaking down national barriers is.

If you're using an AI image generator for commercial purposes (ie, to make illustrations for something you intend to sell), that sits somewhere in the realm of scams, spam, and plagiarism. It's unconscionable. If you're using it to make images for your own enjoyment: fucking why

The Court of Justice of the EU today annulled the European Parliament’s 2021 decision to strip Catalan separatist lawmakers’ immunity, citing doubts regarding the impartiality of the process through which the measure was adopted.

Hoy, en el #DíaMundialContraElCáncer, quiero recordar que muchas personas están vivas en este país, o han podido morir después de tener a su disposición los mejores tratamientos del mundo, gracias a la sanidad pública que pagamos con nuestros impuestos.

I want smaller newspapers with actual fact-based reporting made by people who are paid more to work less and I'm not kidding.

“I think it is important for us, Western Europeans, to understand that it is not just Ukraine that is under attack, but also Europe and the European way of life,” Frédéric, a volunteer from Belgium, told The Brussels Times.

Gaming stocks are dropping today after Google's rollout of Project Genie, an AI tool that lets users create and explore virtual worlds for 60 seconds. This is the result of a market that does not understand how video games are made. Allow me to suggest that the Street read Blood, Sweat, and Pixels

Every day the Everybody's 12 Theory gets closer to universal law "I wanna be a good boy and work lots and eat steak and marry a pretty lady and stay away from yucky things" Sure buddy, you're 12

Jewish descendent of holocaust victims and survivors here. What he said was fine. Neighbours hiding minority children from uniformed government thugs in service to a nativist agenda is bad enough. I'm sure Anne would have preferred people spoke up BEFORE the Nazis got to the death camps stage.

For my followers in the EU, there is an European citizens’ initiative you can sign to demand the full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement. If you are for BDS this would be a huge step up. eci.ec.europa.eu/055/public/#...

"Brussels is not on the verge of a nervous breakdown, both because that’s a trite way of explaining the shared pathology of a city of one million individuals, and because we’ve already long since tipped over the verge into a mild collective psychosis." Brussels Notes #149: Febrile City

If there are any European/Australian gaming outlets that still have a budget and want coverage of the year's biggest gaming events in the US but *don't* want to expose their people to well... the US, my email is in my bio!

The point of these posts by Trump is to ritualistically humiliate European leaders. He wants to show how much he owns them. That they will accept whatever the US president does.

¿Cuál es el primer gif que sale cuando ponéis vuestra profesión?

A week and a bit into the job search, so obviously going to keep re-upping this. Pretty sure that this is the worst time of year to be looking for jobs in my area, but if you are looking for a Comms, policy, advocacy person, or know someone who is, please do let me know or share. 1/4

Now it's time for the EU to choose the EU because fucking hell, EU - when will you understand Trump isn't a master strategist, just an idiot bully with a stick he can only use as long as everyone independently keeps giving in.

It has been positively Baltic in Brussels this last week, with the consequence that the city's whole metabolism has seemed to slow down. I have had a similarly sluggish start to 2026 Brussels Notes #147: Tempered City

Tras unas semanas investigando, ha comenzado la operación 🚩 "Desconexión" 🚩 Se resume en: -Dejar de usar software Estadounidense -Priorizando el software "ético" -Open Source -Priorizar startups europeas Estoy descubriendo que se puede y estoy ahorrando €. ¿Os interesa saber más? ¿hago un 🧵?

European weakness on full display by these horribly contorted responses from Merz, Macron and Starmer - neither condoning nor condemning US actions in Venezuela Such weakness only risks making the Europeans more vulnerable (ie Greenland)

It's the end of the year - an annus horribilis for Europe. It should be a moment of reflection on the root causes of the humiliation this continent had to endure at the hands of Donald Trump this year. And it's time to reimagine what Europe can be.

"The ideology of Atlanticism has created our elite cadre of leaders on this continent and their time should be over. Their ideology has failed. And if Europeans still keep electing these people, then they are signing their own death warrant as a sovereign continent.” open.spotify.com/episode/4NWs...

"The first step in treating an addiction is admitting you have a problem." Listen to my interview on the @euscream.bsky.social podcast about my new book The Owned Continent - about how America's cultural dominance over Europe lulls people into accepting economic and military subservience.

Mark your calendars. 4 December 2025: the day Germany and Austria killed the Eurovision Song Contest. It was the most powerful soft power instrument Europe produced as a whole. And it will now unravel. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Are they f****g serious?

The 28-point plan was dead on arrival. Ukraine can't accept it, Trump doesn't have the cards to force them since he's ended most US assistance to them, and Russia won't accept adjustments. Yet for the past two weeks, Europeans have again had to scramble to go along with a charade.

I may have accessed my Steam account for a last time around 2013/4. The "carte blanche" Valve enjoys in some circles that should know better still baffles me.

The EU’s top court ruled today that when a same-sex couple is legally married in one member country, any other member country where they move or reside must recognize that marriage.

Este titular es manifiestamente falso.

We're told by 🇪🇺President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu's @eppgroup.bsky.social & @reneweurope.bsky.social that the #AIact is an unacceptable burden on businesses. So then why did these same lawmakers design and vote for this law *just last year*? What changed since then? 🤔 We know what changed.

On TDOR, we share the names of just a number of the 281 trans people murdered in the past year. Most were Black and Brown trans women. Activists are being targeted too. We come together in grief and care, and keep pushing for a world where trans lives are safe and full of joy. @tgeuorg.bsky.social

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

one function of capitalism is to funnel these types into positions of power, because if competent & kind people get into power they start taking from the rich and giving to the poor. capitalist leaders must be either evil or ignorant or both, only by mistake does anyone else get near power

Next week,🇪🇺President von der Leyen's centre-right EPP group is preparing to ally with the far right in order to pass the 1st of her deregulation packages. A Commission official says these #Omnibus proposals are being sold as "concessions" to Trump. Our leadership are going down 2 dangerous paths.
