This is just trolling, I'm in Zone 2 fgs

This is good but we also need something about the people disregarding red lights, which is becoming more and more common www.ft.com/content/377f...

That last bit is somewhat odd as, if we're honest, the Ukrainian army is closer to the future than the British one

UK and France commit to deploying troops in Ukraine. Good news but we’ve been circling this for over a year … and it comes with a fairly major caveat of a peace deal being reached www.thetimes.com/article/0bef...

That this statement has to be written is frankly insane.

Also, anecdotally, Britain is not as attractive a destination as it once was. Unfortunately.

Where to begin really: - No such things as dark ages - the church was not anti-science but in fact founded the first universities - Pirates are largely a fiction - Disfoveries like the "steam engine" reflect material availability and manufacturing capacity more than invention On and on

seems a little insensitive

Hello, I'm starting a Gaullism club for geriatric millennials, hit me up if interested. This is not a scam, we WILL BE advocating for full European strategic autonomy.

They tried at the beginning of the invasion. And then they've tried to murder him again and again. But you know this already.

Honestly, what the fuck happened to you man?

Tell you what, this is gonna be a very WET January if anything

The mental gymnastics from tankies trying to condemn what the US is doing while avoiding the elephant in the room (the invasion of Ukraine) is a spectacle to behold, grander than anything the Olympics can ever hope to achieve.

Just a few hours ago Chinese Special Envoy was meeting Maduro for three hours in Caracas.

So what is the reasoning the the US will use now to say China shouldn't invade Taiwan? We're inching closer to that nightmare scenario where three major powers are simultaneously invading countries for the son of existing near them.

They gentrified the tinfoil hat

Now hold on a minute

He's just gonna, like, drop dead out of the blue, isn't he

Those are sweet boots

Many people are saying this!!

Yes

"Sinister Digital ID" I hiss, as my Swedish partner swiftly goes through any interaction with the Swedish state using the one number assigned to every citizen of the country rather than the dozen or so I have from Greece and the UK.

You mean like the NHS number they give you at birth?

"Is someone getting married in here?" - Greek version

The right is going bonkers over asylum seekers getting housing via councils but buried in the reports is a clear bailout of developers who insist their one and two bed flats should sell for the overvalued prices they set themselves

But we could try

I often think back to a Greek taxi driver who once told me: "Too many people want the harshest laws they can imagine - for everyone except themselves." This thinking is rife on the right, but it is also prevalent in a significant minority on the left. And that last part always takes me by surprise.

I drink coffee at mom’s funeral, shoot a bloke because the sun annoys me, and feel nothing. Society hates that. Am I broken or just honest?

Wasn't this a comedy bit a few years back? "You have the freedom to say anything you want, we just can't guarantee your freedom after saying it"

I always tell students if you ask a good question the article will write itself

I brought forth a terror that bends the minds of mortals into madness and delirium (had a baby)

I don't know man, take up steady state cardio and before you know it you're listening to audiobooks about the logistics of the Vietcong

Impose the same standards on men, I've had enough of shitty sweaters and ill-fitting blazers

Feel like I'm the only one of my age/wider group that doesn't have a podcast or at the very least guests in one. Like a rare beast from a pre-covid era that still haunts the wilds of North London, its growl lost in layers of myth.

It’s interesting how the risk awareness that dependence on US systems - be it in digital services, defence, or payment methods - has been internalised fairly quickly in Europe. National Bank of Sweden chief says Sweden is too dependent on MasterCard and Visa and needs non-American alternatives

We should introduce laws that are opt-in only, like bring back the death penalty but only for those who agree with the death penalty

If the Charles wants to send those calling for him to be replaced by Lowe to the Tower, I'm personally happy to look away for a bit

Doing this to a French person is like giving them a medal, I'm sorry to say

This is... Not good

Ποια Ομοσπονδία ερευνά, με το μπαρδόν

You can see where millennials join Xers (who were also massive canners) to get to the peak and then how we both go into sweet middle age hand-in-hand

They won't tell you this but you'll have to beat the lobster in hand-to-hand combat before you can eat them

This is the craziest illustration I've ever seen for a piece, even for FB slop

This is something already in the air. I've had more incidents of someone asking me, a white middle aged man, if I'm from here and if I speak English in the last few months than in the past 18 years.

Every time I'm in a restaurant I remember Kevin McAleer's reply to a waiter who told him the Soup Of The Day. "Where there any other contenders?" "Um, no?" "A hollow victory, then".

The west had a good run

Imagine thinking this was a good idea in the first place

If I could bomb this joke from orbit, I would
