“The point of modern propaganda isn’t only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth… And once truth is gone, they can build an empire of lies… Just keep repeating the facts. Stop giving equal time to lies.” Garry Kasparov bsky.app/profile/garr...

Paris et Lyon ont été touchés par des orages de grele jusqu'à 5 cm. Quelques photos des grêlons, impressionnant ! Merci à Kevin-93, Mart67 pour le partage !

At some point we will reach the nadir of this right wing craziness. Then it will be upwards and onwards and people won’t be fooled by this shite for a few generations. Rinse and repeat.

Deep alignment between the EU and U.K. could close this hole and deliver GDP growth for both sides. This is worth listening to. Tell him he was right then and to do the right thing now 🎧👇

The credibility of the US government is completely shot. Gone. Annihilated. Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration. Ever.
