Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!

Are there any nice customs in your country in connection to Michaelmas? #Michaelmas

I do believe that the UK is more clever than to give in to the populist rhetoric of Nigel Farage.

Nigel Farage should apologise for his role in causing the small boat crisis, Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey has demanded www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Only an asshole would be a friend of Jeffrey Epstein and an enemy of Canada.

#WeRemember🕯️ We honour the memory of victims that were part of the atrocious Roma Holocaust taking more than 500,000 lives. Today marks 10 years since the EU officially recognised this day. We stand united against antigypsyism — today and every day.

We have been so inundated with mediocre American blockbuster movies that we tend to forget how refreshing European cinema can actually feel like. I hope they'll screen #StraightOuttaSpace in my neighborhood cinema.

France and the UK are walking the walk. All EU countries should follow.

A classic coordination failure: everyone makes excuses for why they go along with authoritarianism rather than resisting. And democracy and the rule of law crumble. We thought our institutions and culture were stronger, but we are following Hungary's path.

Dit is niet om financiële redenen, dit is buigen voor Trump. Eens zien hoe lang Last Week Tonight en The Daily Show nog mogen blijven. 😡

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

1: Remove their identity 2: Reject their reality 3: Resist their will 4: Block validation 5: Assign guilt 6: Protect the vulnerable 7: Cultivate external allies 8: Take the focus 9: Create the alternative #3E #refusefascism #nokings www.patreon.com/BindingChaos...

we really can just decide, as a species, to do things differently. we really don't have to let a couple hundred people dictate how systems function. To abuse and exploit the other 9 billion. just a little bit more imagination in a lot more human beings would be such a game changer.

Since I can remember, I have always loved radio. When I was a child, whether I was studying or playing, the radio was always on. It was a natural response for a curious and exuberant child like me living in the rural areas of the Great Hungarian Plain who wanted to let the world in. /1 #radio

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

I’ve never been to the Hay festival before. It was extraordinary: a whirlwind twenty four hours of amazing people, ideas, books, conversations, laughter and energy. And a literary flower presented to panellists as you come off stage. Loved it. Is it too early to book to go next year?! #hayfestival

How I would have enjoyed the Hay Literary Festival this year.

Heritage Foundation’s top people admitted last year that the second part of their Project 2025 plan was to put *nothing* on paper. They want to eliminate any possibility of a Freedom of Information request.

Accurate article. I would also mention this: 1. Hungary had a fledgling democracy, it was easy for Orban to dismantle. His Russian methods had been deeply entrenched in Hungarian society: they sounded familiar for the elderly pop. 2. Hungary has EU as an ally to stop this. The USA is all alone.

A very insipiring short video about the Venice Architecture Biennale 2025. Architecture can indeed save our future. #OptimismIsADuty bbc.com/arts/arts-in...

After 3 days of trying, I managed to delete my Facebook profile. That bastard kept on excusing themselves with unexpected errors. Probably I will be back, but for now, I am content with this silence.

#HungarianElection #survey It is nice to see how the support for Fidesz is dwindling away. Orban has left 11 months in power. Whatever he is doing is simply provisional.

Listening to the Sunday service on BBC Radio 4: this time from the Bellshill Salvation Army Church from North Lanarkshire. Salvation Army always delivers, I love their style.

I believe in the European project. And I am sure that Europe will find its way to get rid of fake allies and find the advantage in being diverse and treating each nation as brothers: not wanting to rule each other over, but finding an immense opportunity in working together.

Une nouvelle étude révèle que les 10% des plus riches sont responsables de 2/3 du réchauffement climatique et d'une augmentation significative des événements climatiques extrêmes mais... ils n'en subissent pas vraiment les conséquences. Avec Fanny Henriet

Whenever reading the news feels like a noose around my neck, Pink's "Never Gonna Not Dance Again" automatically starts in my head until the doom and gloom is over. It works, you should try it.

It is not a nice feeling, but I can do nothing but chafe at people who exercise sheer disregard for the future consequences of their actions. The problem is: you cannot limit your future options without limiting mine.

#Eurovision my favs after seeing the live performances: 🇫🇷🇨🇭🇩🇪🇮🇹🇫🇮

Israel Palestine, "It's complicated". ... No it isn't

I watched all the #Eurovision contest songs of this year (once, in random order, mostly the studio recording, not the live performances), and here is my list from first to last: 🇳🇱🇮🇱🇨🇭🇩🇪🇨🇾🇦🇺🇬🇧🇱🇻🇸🇪🇨🇿 🇳🇴🇦🇿🇫🇮🇦🇹🇭🇷🇮🇪🇮🇸🇸🇲🇮🇹🇩🇰 🇱🇹🇱🇺🇵🇹🇧🇪🇬🇪🇪🇪🇪🇸🇵🇱🇺🇦🇬🇷 🇲🇹🇫🇷🇦🇲🇲🇪🇸🇮🇷🇸🇦🇱 This contains those who have not made it to the final.

I've had enough of these half-baked but overproduced #netflix series that call themselves a series even when they are shorter than an average Scorsese. Their ending is like a ruined orgasm, begging for an even more superficial (if that's possible) second season. Gosh, I miss the nineties.

Robert Schuman: a true genius

As we commemorate VE Day and reflect on the sacrifices made for freedom, in Europe, we have one eye on the future as the prospect of major conflict appears to be tragically close. Whilst ordinary men and women just want peaceful lives, let us remember we have more that unites us than divides us. 🙏

I have watched a small chimney for 2 hours... #conclave

Happy conclave day to all who celebrate

My Catholic upbringing really kicks in at the start of this #Conclave. Let's pretend we are witnessing history in the making. Bishop Tagle should be interesting, but we'll see.

Save the ocean. Save the world. Presented by world-renowned filmmaker Sir David Attenborough with his most powerful message yet, OCEAN WITH DAVID ATTENBOROUGH is coming to Dendy Cinemas May 8. Advance tickets on sale now - https://www.dendy.com.au/movie/ocean-with-david-attenborough #Ocean

I can imagine the Royal Family rolling their eyes in unison. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Pis il va garder sa job.

The Pope's #UrbiEtOrbi was canny and heartfelt. Sharp arrows of love was flying towards the aggressors of our time. The speech + the palpable emotions felt for the ill Pontifex was thick. There could not be more love broadcast in a formal event than what took place this noon at St Peter Square.

In Hungary, major change is looming. I am feeling optimistic. #HungarianElection #survey If the elections were held today, Fidesz would lose half of their seats. Could not even win if they formed coalition with the far-far-right. Which means no more vetoes favouring Putin and Trump.

“It is pure villainy,” said Mann. “A crime against the planet – arguably, the most profound of all crimes.” #water #climate #thefifthrisk www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

People were informed about Trumps tariff announcement prior to his social media post or official announcement. This is a clear case of insider fraud and market manipulation.

Last week, I wrote about how authoritarianism leads to poverty and corruption. Feels like an appropriate moment to post it again. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

I don't want to sound dramatic but probably this video has just saved my life. youtu.be/U4PsIm9dDvs

The changes that a protest can make in politics are: 1) force the politicians to change their opinion, and 2) encourage those who witness it: it brings us power and willingness to stand up for what we believe in. I would argue that power is more afraid of the second one. And rightly so.
