Uma pessoa só pode rir por esta altura 😂

Muito bom 😂

Nine.

The phantom discussion about who should represent the EU in potential talks with Russia/Putin shows above all one thing - that the EU still has not solved the issue of external representation, more than 15years after the Lisbon Treaty.

Long thread, but worth the read

Berlin needs to conciously decide whether it will fight back or allow China to dismantle core parts of its manufacturing ecosystem in an era of rearmament. Time is running out: Europe's leverage will decline as China captures ever more chokepoints. 18/

Sensacionalismo no seu melhor

SCMP: A sinking ship? Why the EU and China could be heading for a trade war – ‘Chinese speakers were accused of dismissing Europe’s long-standing complaints and ignoring the harsh economic reality of an increasingly lopsided trading relationship.’

we all have cognitive dissonance when it comes to things we do; we all are hypocritical when it comes to some things we enjoy I don’t get the point in scolding people that watched Eurovision like you can still be aware and critical and engage in a thing you find fun while being mindful ffs

The EBU is playing with fire

Eurovision changes every year, but the Greece-Cyprus bromance stays the same

Este júri de Portugal 🤦‍♀️

What are all these 12 points to Malta? It’s one of the weakest songs

I want to know Alexander Rybak’s skincare routine

Rivals Series 2 is really really really good.

How long will the EBU be able to keep this act? People can sense double standards. The EBU should make its rules clearer. Right now, they are very arbitrary.

“One optimistic interpretation of the left’s woes is that its faded prospects reflect its past achievements.”

Se o pedido formal apenas foi feito depois do ataque, então Portugal disse que sim sem ter feito perguntas.

“Absolute political impartiality is unfeasible for the EBU, not least when their main sponsor, Moroccan Oil, is an Israeli firm.”

Someone has been daydreaming

Russian state duma (parliament) has adopted a resolution allowing Putin to use Russian forces to “defend Russian citizens detained abroad”. Currently, there are 3,000 Russians detained abroad for cyberattacks and other crimes.

The EBU can bury its head in the sand and pretend the contest is not political, but we know it has always been.

Dear Thomas Friedman, No. Nope. Not gonna. No way. Iran gaining control of Hormuz and charging tolls is really bad—for us, for you, for the world. But it's entirely Trump's fault. There's no way we can fix it, working with him is impossible. So that's a hard no. Your goat, your rodeo. Best, NATO

The EBU is now partaking in censorship, having deleted the shouts of "stop the genocide" that were audible live.

Previsível

"What I find most difficult is the idea that Eurovision can somehow be separated entirely from political reality. I simply don’t believe that is possible anymore. "Keeping Israel in the competition is also a political decision."

Eurovisión se ha convertido en un absoluto fraude, como prueba esta investigación del NYT, que confirma la intervención del gobierno de Israel, que gastó 1 millón de dólares para influir el voto. Los gobiernos no pueden intervenir en Eurovision. Brutal. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/w...

The NYT covering Eurovision? Sign me up

European Union foreign ministers agreed to impose sanctions on Israeli settlers accused of violent attacks on Palestinians on Monday, breaking months of political deadlock over such a move.

Quite aside from the Starmer drama, it is remarkable how utterly absent the realities of today's EU are from current UK debates about reset/rejoin etc. Both neo-remainers and neo-leavers are peddling a "back to 2016" button that doesn't exist.

The best move on Europe Day is for each and every European public voice to join W Social. Spread the word and see you on W! Vive l’Europe

It's not just the Europeans

Parece interessante

Há muitas questões que esta notícia levanta, a começar por: isto não restringe em demasia a liberdade de cada um?

Striking new survey showing eroding trust in US among Europeans Across the EU, nearly 3/4 (73%) said it's "time for Europe to go its own way" 58% of people in the EU think the US is untrustworthy as a partner. It's most pronounced in Germany, where 73% say its untrustworthy

I should sue SAP for psychological damages

How many more clues does the EU need?

This is great, but it will only work if Russia loses the war and its leaders are captured. It won’t happen if a peace deal is signed.

👀

This reads like something out of a science fiction novel, but it's reality in 2026. Scary

Trump’s latest moves on trade and troops in Europe reconfirm two simple facts: no deal with Trump is worth the paper it’s written on & no degree of bending the knee to him makes an iota of a difference (other than shredding European dignity)

Never have 4 people more wished they were still in the deepest, darkest recesses of outer space.

There are two ways Germany could take the news US is pulling 5k of its DE-based troops: a) Panic, flee back to the old protector, flatter Trump in hope of reprieve b) Accept & advance: Europeanise 🇩🇪's huge defence investment package, embrace strategic autonomy www.reuters.com/world/us-wit...

Interesting timeline… Friedrich Merz says Iran “humiliated” the US and makes headlines. Trump says Merz is doing a “terrible job” and the US is might withdraw troops from Germany. Trump threatens to hike tariffs on EU-made cars to 25%. Germany is the EU’s largest car maker.

Mau! Mas não queria que os europeus se envolvessem na guerra? Tem de se decidir 🤭

Finland has inaugurated Europe's first lithium mine dedicated to batteries, a major milestone for the continent. It will produce 15,000 tons per year of lithium hydroxide, covering about 10% of current European demand. This mine allows Europe to reduce its dependence on Chinese #climate
