Here’s the Guardian article: How a billionaire with interests in Greenland encouraged Trump to acquire the territory www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... I don’t have Esteé Lauder money but I had used Clinique, The Ordinary and Mac for years. Then I had to find alternatives after all this bullshit

It's Friday night and I'm outlining a 12-minute talk about the Opium Wars because, as you are aware, I know how to party.

The destruction of Gaza has always been a real estate deal to enrich themselves and their friends. Despite talk of a “cease fire”, the killing continues to this day. www.express.co.uk/news/world/2...

Trump’s controversial “Board of Peace” charter has been signed in Davos. Bulgaria and Hungary were the only two EU countries present at the signing. More on our live blog: www.politico.eu/article/mani...

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

@mollyquell.bsky.social had no clue you’re on this one 😃 But the “similar accounts” section on your profile is a bit baffling (and funny)

Apparently there were Northern lights visible from Amsterdam after 11pm but I didn’t get to see anything because I was passed out by 10. Kid starting school, plus her birthday party on Sunday totally did me in.

The stupidest timeline continues being stupid

"Trump imposed sanctions on all our major European allies because they deployed some forces to Greenland, which he wants to invade" is one of those things that would have been mocked as hysteria, but here we are. I do think "tariffs" unhelpfully normalizes it, too. These are punitive sanctions.

Trump joins a not-so-long list of people who have acquired someone else's Nobel medal, including... uh... Joseph Goebbels. www.nobelpeaceprize.org/press/press-...

This one is super funny. For some context - there’s no bridge that you can use to cross to/from Amsterdam Noord (only car and metro tunnels) and this is essentially a commute/public transport extension. All those people are either going to work or going home, not just cruising 😆

Тръмп няма да напада Иран (засега). Какъв обрат и невероятна изненада! bbc.com/news/article...

The FBI raided the home of a Washington Post reporter early on Wednesday in what the newspaper called a “highly unusual and aggressive” move by law enforcement. Agents turned up “unannounced”, searched her home, and seized electronic devices.

The full list of World Cup qualifying nations swept up in the US visa ban - Iran, Uzbekistan, Jordan, Algeria, Cape Verde, Egypt, Ghana, Morocco, Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire, Tunisia, Haiti, Brazil, Colombia & Uruguay. 15 out of 42. + Bosnia, Albania & Kosovo, who are still in the UEFA play-offs.

Prediction: Trump is going to wait until Iran has gotten around to hanging protesters before he launches a couple meaningless Tomahawks at an abandoned IRGC base

The #Internet shutdown in #Iran is now in its 7th day, approaching the duration of the country's December 2022 shutdown, and making it one of the longest Internet shutdowns on record. radar.cloudflare.com/traffic/ir #IranianRevolution2026 #DigitalBlackoutlran

I've gotta say, harmonizing the idea that executing protesters in Minneapolis is cool with the idea that executing protesters in Iran is evil is one hell of a heavy rationalization lift, even for the MAGA crowd.

It feels like every new move by the Trump administration comes from Stephen Miller going "ok next the nazis did this..."

New: “Fears are growing that the number of protesters killed by Iranian security forces now reaches into the thousands…cell phone footage has emerged of truck-mounted machine guns strafing residential streets, hospitals swamped by shooting victims, and a morgue overwhelmed by hundreds of bodies”

Драги софиянци - така изглежда смога причинен от печките на твърдо гориво - сиво-синкав. Вашият обикновенно е кафяв, знам че е по-лесно да обвиним селяните че опушват Софията вместо да слезем от колите си, но въздуха няма да стане по-чист.

Kudos to whoever made this! #Epstein

Big anti-government protests, state forces reacting with violence, and the national leader is on social media flailingly claiming the protestors were put up to it by outside agitators. This post is about Iran.

Calling her a ‘fu*king bitch’ immediately after shooting her 3 times in the head clearly indicates he fired his gun IN ANGER and NOT in self defence. He kills her because he can’t control his anger. This is murder. Any society that deems it otherwise is not a just society.

Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum. We need to dismantle DHS. We need restitution. And we need trials.

Happy tenth anniversary to photographer Joel Goodman’s classic image which by rights should be hanging in the Louvre.

Vondelkerk is on fire. In the meantime here in Diemen, banging is still going strong at 02:18. Fuck this shit, ban fireworks.

Напън в последния момент. Последните три месеца са тотал щета откъм болести и прищипани нерви и не знам си какво, ма ще се стегна скоро.

I had missed this whole interview, but damn. Respect to Clooney

Seeking violent white nationalist men

I’m so not looking forward to the incessant banging for hours after (and before) midnight tomorrow night. Last year some neighbor waited for everyone else to stop at 2:30AM and took out the arsenal for an extra almost hour of fireworks - apparently spent like 5K on stuff that explodes. Why?!

Schools bombed. Football fields destroyed. Swimming pools damaged. Ukraine’s children are losing the spaces meant for learning, play, and safety. Read our investigation ⬇️ www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/12...

“the president seems to be using the doj to hide his years of involvement with the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world history” feels like a story worth reporting on

Saucijzenbroodje or the Dutch equivalent of sausage roll is as godawful as you can imagine. But apparently there’s a scale 😆

Happy Hogswatch to all who celebrate. Ho! Ho! Ho!

Принципно не бяхме от хората дето ходят по острови зимно време, ама ето че станахме 😆 И разбирам защо някои хора го правят всяка година - ако можеш да си го позволиш е добър чийт за преживяване на всичкото тъмно и студено.
