commiserations to non-Dutch speakers, who will never know what this is about

Trump Day 370: Border Patrol shoots and kills 37-year-old Alex Pretti, who was trying to protect woman next to him; Trump threatens Canada with 100% tariff; Justice Dept wants access Minnesota voter database; Walz demands withdrawal feds, deploys National Guard: reportersonline.eu/trump-day-37...

In my ongoing attempts to give you a break from *gestures widely* THE HORRORS: Let's talk about the utterly bizarre science of cats' purring. Here's a weird starting point: There are NO cats (Felidae) that can BOTH roar AND purr. Cats that roar = genus Panthera Cats that purr = genus Felis

The guy that runs the Reddit where people post about patting their cat on the butt like bongos has put his foot down

Dry January is having the worst year ever huh?

P e r f e c t #caturday

Europeans opening X the weekend after Davos. #Europeans #USA #Trump #Davos #EU

So, when the last immigrant is despatched to a prison in El Salvador, what will America then do with a bunch of steroidal paramilitary thugs inured to misery, accustomed to trampling over constitutional rights and harbouring a not-unjustified sense of their own impunity? Who will they turn on next?

As a special #TotP treat, here's the official cat of Bluesky, Bertie, accidentally falling asleep halfway through cleaning himself during the last song.

There are many serious governments in the world. The US is not one of them. (There are no penguins in Greenland.)

Me and all my friends...

You should be able to leave work early if you don’t recognize the world you live in anymore

If you don't admit that the Trumpian Board of Peace is likely a vehicle to corruptly funnel funds between dictators, authoritarians and their wannabes, you are wilfully refusing to understand the era we are living through. Its all about who controls the money and where it goes.

I searched for Your Disco Needs You by Kylie Minogue, and this was included in the list of results. Wtf?!

I'd love a day here where not every other post fromt the USA is about something stupid their president utters. We know, it's always the same stupid and it's totally boring. Can do without his face in my timeline.

Trump's 'Board of Peace' looks like the Nuremberg dock.

"Hans, are we on the board of peace?"

Europeans after managing to prevent the collapse of NATO for another 1-2 weeks… #Europe #Rutte

Like a scene from the Madam Tussauds Chamber of Horrors

He’ll be FURIOUS he’s not been nominated for an Oscar

I wonder if this is how the ancient Greeks felt just watching their lives get absolutely rag-dolled time and time again by their assigned cast of useless idiot gods

I just discovered that this bird - the Gloster Canary - exits and it has changed me.

So someone in Europe is now creating an "European Twitter". They even have a nice website done: wsocial.eu But I like this one more: w-social.eu

The tactical formation is mostly there to prevent him from being vacuumed into a Roomba.

how far is Davos from Dignitas

We’re having a moment 😻

I’ve felt less embarrassed watching senile grandads giving a wedding speech

Carrying a miniature bottle of champers in my pocket in case I need it at any moment…

It's the hope that gets us every time. One of these days it will happen and the celebrations will be wild.

Just wondering. Should we assign a European to every American on Bluesky so we can individually text you all if he dies while you are asleep?

fed up of hearing what america and europe has to say about greenland, let's hear from malawi

Paint me like one of your French girls.

Arguing about who gets the Chagos islands without ever once taking into account the expelled islanders. It's like David and Victoria arguing about who gets custody of Brooklyn.

This is exactly right. No strategy, no core principles, not even a coherent sense of what helps him politically. Just endless government by pursuit of likes

They say when the US sneezes, the whole world catches a cold. I have to say, it feels a lot more like herpes.

Late night working with toast, Squirrel and Caroline @carolineartist.bsky.social

Polish publicists is bang on when it comes to EU-Trump relations: "The Western Europe managed to play chess with a pigeon for really long. Now everyone is shocked that the pigeon pooped on the table. What's worse, the pigeon keeps shitting and they still try to move their shit-covered pawns".

on a zoom call

The Prime Minister has come up with a very measured, diplomatic response and I think that if the President could remember who Starmer was, he would respect that.

My cat when I don't get him the right flavor of $5 canned paté: I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace

Current view:

Years ago when I was still on twitter, I had that plugin that changed Trumps tweet's font so they looked like a 5 years old scribbled them with crayon. We need this now, but to work in all of the internet.

Trump Day 364: After Greenland, Trump also expresses ‘concerns’ about Canada, no FBI investigation into ICE agent who shot Good, sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days, EU discusses sanctions against US, lawyers denied access to ICE detainees in Minnesota: reportersonline.eu/trump-day-36...

Yes, I need these 17 358 photos of cats on my phone. They protect my mental health.
