This was a brain treat. Go for the Caolan Robertson, stay for the Anne Applebaum, #fellas I esp loved the last set of Q&A. I wish more journos made such expansive use of Anne Applebaum's perspectives. We have enough people who can speculate informatively on the day-to-day. Good use of her range.

In a world of Barron Trumps, raise your kid to be an Alexander Browder. Fantastic interview with a remarkable young man.

I have been training to enjoy this for my entire fucking life. #nafo

Cheers to freedom, #fellas! Love from wild west Texas.

I wish every Patriot-hoarding NATO leader who doesn't border russia or Belarus a very sleepless night. Many sleepless nights. Fuck you. Love, #NAFO

Get in here, the men's suiting guy is doing a bespoke roast and it is *art*

Trump's america. Holy shit. Great outcome, but the painful process is the point.

If you say you aren't political, then your politics is ignorance, and we all suffer for it.

Autocracy in Georgia. Listen to Marika, and know that your democracy is next if putinism and maga isn't rejected by voters. No country is safe, and regular people are paying the price.

US tech companies have / had huge profits from Europe. So, I don't get it, why they are fine with Trump. "Combined, US tech giants extract an estimated €500-600 billion annually from the European Union..." www.sovereign-sky.net/post/the-500...

History 🤓

Also wow does this gif explain my fashion 30 years later. 😂🫠

We are all Sal Mercogliano on Week 17 of the Strait of Hormuz soap opera. Strength to this man. He'll need it for the subsequent weeks until the sun absorbs this fool fucking Earth.

Nailed it.

History in real time is wild shit.

Mr. Anne Applebaum is always worth listening to. Russia should try it sometime.

I'm so cynical about the future that I'm cutting pattern paper with my designated (labeled) FABRIC ONLY Fiskars.

The USA's superpower was petrodollars, protection, and moral authority. The 2024 electorate murdered all three.

Gotta admit I have never in my 43 years on this earth felt the need to know liters-to-gallons like I do now to better laugh at the self-inflicted misery of the russian population. #nafo

*screams internally*

BRB adding "Go suck a rainbow" to my quickdraw reply stash.

This is the most impressive straight face I’ve seen in a long time and I’ve been in court all week.

Community lawyers need to be 501(c)(4)ing up and wearing ATTORNEY tshirts at protests. And those community lawyers will need community donors. At least until restorative justice can take effect (that's a long road first though). IDK, this is my first fascism.

Zelenskyy should publish an official parade permit for a "fun run" from Kerch to Krasnodar.

I have a pretty nice classical and non-trendy wardrobe, and even I don't think anything in my collection has aged as finely in the last four years as my beloved "What airdefense doing?" tee. #nafo

"Nice refineries you got there. Be a shame if you were a belligerent in this conflict..."

The USA, who voted Trump back into power, must and shall eat the shit sandwich plated so exquisitely by Iran. The alternative is we are russia.

The capitulation document is appalling because the binding language against the USA is fully prospective, and Iran's concessions merely retrospective.

Lawyer here. Lawyers only acknowledge the opposing party is entitled to its fees when they are in extreme distress.

I'm fascinated by the casually complex logistics of a timely bday cake drop. First a car run to the shops? Then a ground buggy to a forward location? Then a short drop by cargo drone to the final position? Amazing process. Fucking incredible. The human element is also amazing, but that's not *new*.

I'm just so glad America is great again. What a zenith of civilization we can show the world!

Todd Blanche must be sitting with a teeth-whitening tray and an overpriced pen Ken Paxton would pilfer, taking copious notes on Shakedown 101 here.

Ugh oh my god Mehdi absolutely not. This is super problematic.

It is exactly the kind of thing Putin would do. That is what the USA is now, a more technologically advanced version of Putin's Russia.

The faw i just guffed at the Yevgeny Prigozhin Memorial Highway. Exquisite. Put it to the Rada, too.

If Zelenskyy's open letter isn't the main subject of a hasty meeting or two to accelerate a palace coup then I guess Ukraine's going to have to do it the hard way.

Because Crimea is Ukraine.

This epistle by President Zelenskyy to VVP is the most peerless, perfect public execution I could ever fathom. Savor the sting. I'm reading along with a properly riveted @atpgeo.bsky.social The rhetoric, the composition, is like flawless. I'm halfway through and like I need a cigarette. #nafo

I shall permit this man to speak. And I hope he'll be speaking for me and all Texans in the Senate in January.

Thank u so much 🙄 to literally everybody in power except for Alexander Stubb, Kaja Kallas, and Radek Sikorski specifically, and the Danes and the Swedes generally, for where the democratic world is today and the next day. #fellas

This was a great conversation, especially seeing Georgij @ukrainematters.bsky.social wearing my fave Ukrainian street brand, Aviatsiya Halychyny. I'm obsessed with my AH skirts & bomber jacket. Everything is proudly made in Ukraine! (Not a paid review!) www.aviatsiyahalychyny.com/en/women/jac...

Stayed up til 3am to appreciate the elite dunking on Putin? ✅ Walking around today tunelessly humming "It's a beautiful day in Saint Petersburg"? Also ✅ #NAFO

The last time I wore these, well, here we are. Anyway, it's that time of the year: being a gay menace to polite society by existing in its spaces.

2008 is what radicalized me. I can't fathom how it wasn't clear to functioning eyes and ears who russia has always been, and who russia will continue to be, unless and until the empire is forced into a complete collapse.

And I will never forget that 77 million of my fellow Americans ratified this with their idiot votes.

The Kyiv Independent put the US Congress in the hot seat (complimentary). Glad to see Sen. Blumenthal and Rep. Himes being honorable and candid in Kyiv. #fellas @kyivindependent.com

And a very, very happy "Irreplaceable Bomber Fleet Awareness Day" to all who celebrate! 🌻#fellas

Excellent write-up and round-up.

🇺🇦🎶 In the tunnel of the Kyiv metro — a grand piano, and next to it — javelin. And "How can I not love you, my Kyiv" in a performance that takes your breath away, - arikovaolga Weapons and music — that's exactly what the capital is like now: it lives and does not give up.
