A FIFA referee has spent more time in federal custody for being Somali than anybody on epstein's list for raping kids.

I will rigorously block any and all accounts posting AI-generated content not marked as such. I don't want to consume the dead Internet.

I did the reasonable thing and bought more when the markets dipped, fully confident about a coming TACO. It's too early to say whether it was smart, but it looks like I just made money from betting against the US. This should really scare the US and the West as a whole.

My wife, who lived in Moscow until 2020, recently had a bit of nostalgia about her career (and spectacular earnings) in her company back there. This weekend, her former boss and company owner has been shot down by the Russian air defense in his light aircraft outside of Moscow.

Since the start of the full-scale invasion, 2,000 children abducted by Russia have been successfully returned to Ukraine. Specifically, 83 children returned home with the assistance of Qatar, and 19 through the mediation of Melania Trump.

It's -4°C with icy rain in Berlin. Shoutout to the granny drinking her morning coffee while stoically sitting outside of an almost empty café. ☕

So... it turns out the Russian army got scammed by some Chinese company, who sold them penguin costumes, promising those made the wearers invisible to drones. lol. lmao even.

Airlines will not show this to prevent walkouts.

So Trump's Greenland deal is basically maintaining the status quo, while the EU-US trade deal is put on hold. Europeans may think this was a good outcome, but in Trump's (and his followers) mind, he won big time after unthinkable provocation. He goes oit of this with "My art of the deal worked."

Turning 40 tomorrow. Preview of the face that will look back at me from the mirror in some hours.

Pretty sure we wouldn't talk about Greenland if Denmark had nukes. We wouldn't talk about the war in Ukraine if Ukraine had kept their nukes. There's a lesson here that many countries are currently learning.

Putin: "I wish we had a multipolar world in which strong countries can bully the weak as they want."

So what was on this damn Mariner ship?

3/ Some Europeans continue to put their faith in the US. American soldiers will refuse orders, American institutions will intervene, the midterms will save us, Democrats will return Greenland, and so on. The problem is that this mindset places Europe in a helpless position, with no agency of its own

You can judge a society by how it treats its weakest. And also condemn it.

People focus too much on the arrest of an illegitimate dictator that the whole civilized world named as such and not enough on the fact that the US explicitly stated they're trying to take over a country via a puppet regime.

Hey! You! You're finally awake! Walked right into that imperial ambush, didn't you?

Donald Trump says he’ll run Venezuela, so by his business record, it’ll soon be shut down

If the president of Taiwan would be abducted, it would be a diplomatic crisis and the Taiwanese government will function largely unaffected. That is the difference between a democracy and a dictatorship.

Releasing the Epstein Files was the weirdest way to find out that Donald Trump has actually had one real friend.

DOJ: Nothing suggests Donald Trump is a sexual predator. ME (thinking): How could an adjudicated rapist, accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, who paid hush money to a porn star, who cheated on all his wives, and comes up 100s of times in The Epstein Files, possibly be a sexual predator?

The new US National Security Strategy, in its predictable and characteristic ugliness, is a good occasion for Europe to finally let go of the time-consuming transatlantic crisis management efforts and start focusing on a proper and proactive own strategy instead.

Hungary's biggest employers are German companies like VW and Bosch. If Germany wants to put pressure on Orbán, that's where you would want to start.

China has not yet been able to compete with European and Japanese machine tool manufacturing because it's hard to gain market share with complex machinery against experienced manufacturers. Being able to ubscale and learn via trade with Russia is bad for this last western monopoly.

Daughter: brings home a slight sniffles from daycare Me in every online meeting for the last 2 weeks:

Remember when people said that the west cannot stop Putin's war by economical means because that would require an unrealistically low Urals barrel price of $45 and now Trump fucked up so bad that this is exactly haplening?
