📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

He didn’t ask for treats… He didn’t rush to play… He simply wrapped his paws around his new human and held on as if he’d finally found the place his heart had been searching for. 💔 This is what the first moments of adoption can look like for a dog who’s known fear,… Original post

culturaladuba.ro/nicusor-dan-... Enescu music score found in a rabbish container 😡😡😡

culturaladuba.ro/raportul-cor... Bloody hell No wander the Museum is not opened I heard original scores of Enescu work were found in a rabbish container by a workman

If I turned up stinking of alcohol in my current job, I would automatically be sacked, and I only work in retail. Why are we allowing people who make life-changing decisions for everyone in the UK get wrecked at work, the booze subsidised on our taxes, whilst getting paid £100,000 a year?

I am sick and tired of hearing about that 'special relationship'. It never existed, really. And it should be put to bed latest now. It's humiliating for the UK. Always has been. As is Charles visit to Washington.

Not even just being harassed. It sucks to work for drunk people, even if they aren't sex pests

Insiders don't like to talk about it because we benefit from it. It's nice to socialise and have a pint on the Terrace, but not if you're a junior member of staff being harassed by a drunken MP

Hannah Spencer is basically right. There is a toxic culture in Westminster which is badly exacerbated by alcohol. There's a reason why the main bar in Parliament now has CCTV and requires drinkers to scan their passes when they enter. There's just been so many incidents of abuse

💥I almost forgot to mention here that I've started by Hungarian-language Substack newsletter, where I publish excerpts from my upcoming book on Russian espionage in Hungary, as well as scoops and backgrounds of investigations. panyiszabolcs.substack.com

I'll be sharing all the links next week, including ways to preorder signed copies if you prefer! ❤️

ICYMI - I'll be doing a cover reveal next week for my forthcoming book SLEUTH-HOUND! I can't wait to share more with you 👇

The highlight of the shooting is all the press and influencers yoinking bottles of wine and champagne. Good on them for that.

Happiness 🥰

Keir Starmer is a man without any integrity. He throws other people under buses for no other reason than to save his own skin. He's not fit to be prime minister - and those who spent years presenting him as a decent man need to have a hard look at themselves.

That's the heart of the problem. She's incredibly brittle and doesn't believe anyone has the right to disagree with her.

"My son always texts to say he's on his way home. So I open the door, letting his 17 year old cat, and 16 year old doggo know that he's on his way. This is them waiting for him. Though it was adorable, and wanted to share." ❤️ Original post

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

A change of register for me, with a really compelling day discussing research potential, as well as shortcomings in possible collaborations between Romanian researchers in the UK and at home. Many thanks to Romanian Embassy in London and to Her Excellency Laura Popescu for the initiative.

Bucharesters - if you're in town on Weds 22 April, I will be presenting the book "A Bohemian in Bucharest" at 7pm at Humanitas Bookshop Cișmigiu. Huge thanks in advance to Ioana Pârvulescu, Alina Pavelescu and Dennis Deletant for agreeing to speak about it. All welcome! eventbook.ro/other/bilete...

Happy Easter to me (and all the Orthodox people). First year I haven't had time to make anything or go anywhere to celebrate and will be working on Monday.

Zohran Mamdani said he's going to start taxing rich people who buy luxury housing in NYC but don't actually live in there, and the former CEO of Twitter/X called it "actually one of the scariest things I have ever seen."

Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day.

Another J6 patriot pardoned by President Trump will plead guilty in a separate case involving child exploitation of multiple victims, according to federal court records. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Why has Starmer kept silent about the lunacy of 'Brexit' for 10 years? He campaigned for Remain and abandoned the Remainers, denying them a confirmatory Referendum vote. The UK's future lies with Europe, not America.

I needed a good news story today and thought you might like it, too.

I spent 16, SIXTEEN years fighting this crap. I can’t believe it 😭

👀🗳️ When polls close in Hungary at 7pm, there won’t be proper exit polls. Instead, some reliable independent pollsters will release embargoed surveys conducted just days before the vote. Their results are in line with their previous, already published findings (no surprises).

Magyars ! Vote ! Get rid of the deep rotten traitor Orban and of his minions ! Vote him out !

hungarytoday.hu/61-percent-o... They are eligible to vote for the GE in Hungary today and UDMR IS SUPPORTING ORBAN

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has signed a decree establishing Universal Healthcare for all Mexican citizens. The United States could’ve had this, but people chose economic collapse, cruelty and death instead. I’ll never regret voting for Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris.

BOOM! South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less. THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis. #EnergyRevolution

Susan Smith @forwomen.scot says so many people tried to write them off because they were middle aged women and they were dismissed as ‘hags’ and ‘unfanciable’. Victoria Smith's excellent book, Hags, explores the very specific reasons why this type of misogyny is so powerful today.

I fought SO HARD, for an entire decade, to stay alive long enough to become the age I now am. I’m proud to be a crone - age is a privilege, not a shame. 🙂

Nah they’re absolutely wanting to fuck us. The issue is we are too old to fall for bullshit. We are difficult to manipulate, more likely to walk away, call them out, and they don’t like that. They want deference and admiration

Ireland's fuel protesters seem to be keen supporters of the man who, together with Benjamin Netanyahu, is the cause of the increase in the price of fuel!

In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙
