A Trump quote without his face or voice. It's Trump without Trump. This quote is unedited and 100% accurate. It is from his press conference on January 20, 2026. - The big building with bars on the windows.

Carney at Davos: "And this aphorism of Thucydides is presented as inevitable, as the natural logic of international relations reasserting itself." Trump at Davos:

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

On this day in 1918, Woodrow Wilson’s speech changed the course of U.S. foreign policy and international diplomacy, writes James Lindsay.

Another image that sums up the protest.

The world order as we’ve known for the last century is disappearing. And in its place, a new order shaped by the private interests of individual men and their fiercest allies, not the interests, private or public, fair or foul, good or bad, of a nation.

Icymi, because I did: MI6 chief warns that tech giants are closer to running the world than governments.

Is this ethical? Yes. Popper: Paradox of Tolerance. "If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them."

I think if every EU country threatened to pull out of the World Cup it would genuinely deter him

Typically when the US embarks on an illegal or dubiously legal regime change we use noble words about democracy, rule of law, spreading freedom, etc. to justify our actions. Trump has not done that. He offers few noble words as eulogistic covering. It's a crass power & oil grab, according to Trump.

I’ve been working full time to stop this war since last summer and the one scenario I feared the most is materializing — Trump is making a play for Venezuela’s oil. I’m not saying an insurgency will definitely form, but Trump’s ploy creates the perfect storm for an absolutely disastrous occupation.🧵

It's New Year, so time to look back and forward. These are 10 things I think we need to recognise in 2026. It’s a response to what I think are profoundly damaging mistaken assumptions I’ve heard and read from practitioners, journalists, and analysts in 2025. Warning: very long🧵

Seasons greetings.

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

It has become received wisdom in Brussels and Washington that there is a new “euro-sclerosis”: that the EU economy is lagging the US This view is wrong A little primer on the measurement of productivity – and why reports of the economic death of Europe are greatly exaggerated🧵

Which does not mean that the EU needs no reform: The key priority should be to invest massively in education, universities, research, public infrastructure, and energy transition The key to its future productivity and prosperity /end

The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏

"At Anchorage, therefore, the Trump administration seemed to be trying to do more (reach a final settlement) with less (giving up the stick of economic pressure on Russia)." Great article!

Okay, I've deleted my earlier post. Apparently, this is *not* a pipe. But the fact that I thought it was says a lot about society.
