We are back on the East Falklands for a few days...

A snowy cold #Beijing last night… #China.

I don’t like to call it a cult because that suggests a kind of mindlessness. And it’s not mindless. It’s a choice.

Loyalty runs one way in Trumplandia.

It's good to see the list of people who have spoken out against Trump that @jfallows.bsky.social lays out, but telling how many are American allies who need to defend their country against Trump. open.substack.com/pub/fallows/...

Baby King Parrot regular bathing. #birds (actually I've only ever seen King Parrots bathe by splashing about in tree canopies while it's raining. I suspect this baby is just hunkering down and enduring the rain rather than deliberately bathing)

Yes, they could. And it could be a huge test.

Bovino isn’t cosplaying Hitler. He’s cosplaying Himmler. An American left that can’t tell the difference had no business talking about fascism. by Curtis Yarvin

As you already well know by now, it's all lies. Every single thing anyone in this entire administration says is a lie. All of it. Every time.

We put this video together because white nationalism/antisemitism isn’t just a Tucker Carlson problem - it’s a Trump/MAGA problem. Just yesterday, Tucker - in the middle of a controversy over his extremist embrace - visited Trump in the White House. Trump’s extremism should be a major story.

This is why I love the protesters in frog costumes. Or any silly costume. It's a lot harder for the admin to sell the "violent domestic terrorists" bulls**t narrative when the image on TV is a 6 foot dancing pickle. Keep it up!!

They should put that one on Trump's dementia test

If a Minnesotan says to you, "I don't plan to let you do that," run.

This person who successfully committed suicide (something which jails are supposed to protect against) was being held at a random Georgia jail through a contract with the U.S. Marshal Service, which let ICE use its network of contracts with local jails. This is not a big detention center.

Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.

And if my fellow middle-aged white men are at a loss as to what they should say, remember that "I'M SORRY ABOUT WHATEVER WENT WRONG WITH YOUR PENIS" always works.

A sign that your country is winning, Donald - people discussing the best way to visit Canada without needing to transit through the US...

The video:

The president's threat to impose tariffs on countries that oppose his desire to acquire Greenland shows that he does not see tariffs as an economic tool to help America, but as a weapon to hurt his enemies. That's the fundamental nature of his entire presidency.

Looks like the EU-US trade deal is now dead, with all three major groups in the EU Parliament calling at least for suspension. The downward spiral has already begun.

DRAINING THE SWAMP!

Australians are deciding USA is not a place to visit… oddly they still are going to Canada. Almost like there is something specific about the US.. #ThePoint thepoint.com.au/off-the-char...

Now the actual military has to dress like it’s not the military cuz federal law enforcement agencies dress too much like the military

this is the sickest shit ive ever seen

I keep thinking at some point Trump’s DHS will put out a statement or a thing showing Ha Ha this video is FAKE but no, never happens

Honestly if you were any other nation looking at America and hearing Trump bleat about wanting to own you would you consider yourself better off as Americans?? The only countries for whom it might be a reasonable risk Donald refers to as sh*thole countries.

🚨NOW: Large anti-Trump protests erupt in Copenhagen, Denmark ‘Yankee go home… Hands off Greenland’ 🇪🇺🇬🇱🇨🇦WE STAND WITH GREENLAND🇨🇦🇬🇱🇪🇺❤️ ❤️🇪🇺🇩🇰🇨🇦WE STAND WITH DENMARK🇨🇦🇩🇰🇪🇺❤️

Macron: At the request of Denmark, I have decided that France will participate in the joint exercises organized by Denmark in Greenland, Operation Arctic Endurance. The first French military elements are already on their way. Others will follow.

PM Mark Carney: “The future of Greenland is a decision for Greenland & Denmark exclusively — it’s their decision We are NATO partners with Denmark — our obligations on Article 5, Article 2 of NATO stand, & we stand full square behind those”

Swedish PM Ulf Kristersson responds to Trump's tariffs: "We will not let ourselves be blackmailed. Only Denmark and Greenland decide on issues concerning Denmark and Greenland. I will always stand up for my country, and for our allied neighbors."

When Trump wanted 🇺🇸 to ‘own’ Gaza 🇵🇸, Francesca Albanese gave us invaluable advice It’s never been more relevant: ‘Stay calm’ ‘The international community is made of 193 states’ ‘This is the time to give the 🇺🇸 what it’s been looking for’ ‘Isolation’

'This is not what I fought for.'

FFS! Just Release the Epstein Files!

Legit. #CorgiCrew

Ooh! Please buy New York, Denmark!

In a span of an hour, Trump says he is suing JP Morgan and imposing large tariffs on Europe until we purchase Greenland. Someone needs to take his phone away.

You can only hope that by now Europe have woken up to the fact that appeasing Trump simply not work. Leaving aside any other comparison to 1930s appeasement; in both cases the men involved had insatiable appetites to dominate and have whatever their whim of the moment was fulfilled.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

I have some more bad news. If an admissions committee even suspects you used ChatGPT for your application letter, they'll almost certainly decide not to waste a precious admissions spot on you. Instead they'll give it to, you know, someone who actually likes to write and knows how to do it.

Do I sense the Telegraph getting cold feet over Trump...?

At my desk, just saw a rat saunter through the back door. Ergh Remember,important... DO NOT USE RAT POISON ! It's killing our lovely birds and wildlife!! (I'll get the bugger... rat trap set up to go) birdlife.org.au/stop-the-pub...
