At the time of the drone incursion at Copenhagen Airport, Russian Baltic Fleet ship Aleksandr Shabalin was spotted 12 km off Langeland Island, Denmark, with its transponder off, Ekstra Bladet reports.

Here @firstdogonthemoon.bsky.social is giving FAR TOO MUCH AWAY about the dark inner workings of the @australia.theguardian.com bird of the year poll. FAR. TOO. MUCH. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

No matter how cynical you are it's never gonna be enough

I’m pretty much constantly angry about how the global media ecosystem supercharged the current wave of fascism and of course I can’t help but think of Al Swearengen talking about the telegraph coming to Deadwood

Nope, he has always refused to answer the question. What's worse about Hastie though, is that like Morrison, he's an opportunistic narcissist. And he's funded, endorsed and adored by Gina Rinehart. Andrew Hastie - without the ugly drinking and the scandals - is Gina's new, improved Barnaby toy.

Even integrity is heading for outer space and fleeing the US. www.space.com/space-explor...

everybody hates these guys, their ideas are stupid, and you do not have to fall into the trap of assuming trump’s win says anything meaningful about what americans actually want. for instance, americans actually don’t want to ban vaccines. they want this guy banished to a desert island

Basically, we have a lot of young people that have only ever known a world flattened by viral content, where everything is constantly getting noticeably worse all the time, and understand that mass violence gets the same reaction that a meme or shitpost does and view them as basically the same thing

I've been rewatching FREAKS & GEEKS with my son and it has confirmed that Martin Starr as Bill Haverchuck is a Top 5 TV performance of all time.

“.. I absolutely couldn’t care less what he [Trump] thinks about me … He’s the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he’d be consigned to the trash heap of history.” @time.com time.com/7319963/bruc...

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy sentenced to 5 years in prison after being found guilty of illegal campaign financing. https://cnn.it/42bCbv5

Michael Wolff: Is it dementia or something else? What one of Donald Trump's closest political advisors revealed to me.

Henry Jaglom, the maverick auteur who crafted deeply intimate and unconventional films that explored the intricacies of relationships and the quirkiness of human behavior, has died. He was 87.

Step 1: Start a dumbass trade war with China (and Brazil). Step 2: Lose Chinese soybean market to Brazil. Step 3: Bail out your nutty right wing buddy Javier Milei. Step 4: Lose soybean market to Milei, too. Steph 5: Make taxpayers pay for your stupidity.

My favorite thing about this Donald Trump / Jeffrey Epstein statue is that someone thought Donald is fit enough to stand on one leg.

If only we’d known in 2015 that we could just turn off the escalator.

Most informative thing I’ve read so far on this topic

Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

It's time our politicians kicked their US habit www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

oh my god lol -- Trump calls for UN workers to be arrested because his escalator didn't work yesterday

It's weird - but now in Oslo, there's so many EVs that you notice the noise and the smell from individual ICE cars, and you realise how much we've been normalising it for ever. You can smell them half a street away. And inside parking lots are just *quiet*.

One thing we've learned in the last 12 hours: The Sinclair-Nexstar ban on Kimmel, in terms of his reach, means nothing in an era when late-night shows have an afterlife or simultaneous life on streaming. Kimmel's average audience is 1.6M. On YouTube, last night's monologue is already at 8.4M views.

This remarkable therapy uses an approach the Trump administration just cancelled funding for.

Claudia Cardinale and Robert Redford dying in the same week puts the world in a hotness deficit not seen since at least the 19th century

No heroes, but lots of people who gave a shit. It was The People vs Robodebt, not an Erin Brokovitch story. Fought by the many

This is the perfect encapsulation of Trumpism -- because of its obsession with imagery, the White House crew caused a problem but blamed it on other people, leading to MAGA making threats against the United Nations for their own screw up

The fox needs access to the hen coop ASAP, to prevent disaster

Quote this with your reaction to getting left behind during the rapture.

This is a bizarre thing to publish on the day the federal court awarded a journalist $220,000 for being unfairly dismissed from an on-air role for their political views. In Australia it isn't just private companies that cave to pressure, it's the public broadcaster www.smh.com.au/national/why...

Hmm…

I like big bats and I cannot lie! A cartoon... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

At some point in the past few days, Jimmy Kimmel ceased to (just) be Jimmy Kimmel.

Justice Rangiah in his own words in Lattouf v ABC penalty decision. The broadcaster has been ordered to pay $150,000. I was previously awarded $70,000 for hurt and distress. ABC has spent in excess of $2 million on legal fees. The real cost to Aunty is immeasurable.

One of the most interesting things about Jimmy Kimmel, and what I loved most about his conversation with Bill Burr a few months back, was that they’re both middle-aged white comedians who heard how culture has evolved, took notes, grew up, didn’t get defensive, and became *even more* successful.

Yeah, Kimmel is back. And Trump made him much stronger. This was excellent. 410K views on YouTube in the first 30 minutes. youtu.be/c1tjh_ZO_tY

These photos of Claudia Cardinale feeding cats spaghetti should honestly replace the Italian flag

They found the cause of the escalator malfunction:

It's just really funny that they trained their LLMs on the entire corpus of human knowledge and they're consistently annoyed with each fresh discovery that reality has a left-wing bias.
