One thing that’s striking is just how pathetically fragile the whole racket has turned out to be. The most ineffectual sex tape scandal ever. Szijjarto running straight to the shredder. Orbán just…quitting. Rod Dreher hightailing it to whichever country will give him €10000 a month next.

the thing is that when you pedestrianize a space, people inevitably, always love it

i've been getting more folks telling me about this and it's not anything i agreed to. it's been stolen like AI steals. please vandalize it if and when you see it.

AI psychosis is just “I really think the stripper likes me” for guys who don’t leave their house

I worry we're going to get decades of really rank, acidic reactionary politics fueled by the shattered dreams of generations of men who thought school was girly but gambling was manly and then wonder why they are poor.

Lunch break thought: it remains profoundly sad how much of the economy has been turned over to scams that pretend to be gambling which pretends to be an investment. Do you want to gamble your money with odds that are actually good? Index. Funds. But I guess that's not masculinity-affirming enough.

Because the world urgently needed another podcast, we got you covered: The Mildly Alarmed, a podcast on European security, featuring yours truly, @lapatina.bsky.social, @kaeggen.bsky.social & @frhoffmann.bsky.social is out ! In the first episode, we discuss the current state of affairs in Ukraine

The Vasa was a hyper massive ship, which king Gustavus Adolphus demanded on an impossible timeline while at the same time demanding more and more extravagant modifications. It left the dock on its maiden voyage, went about 4,000 feet, and sunk. 30 people died. www.britannica.com/topic/Vasa-w...

Happy "Hitler Killed Himself in a Bunker Day" to those who celebrate.

What these extraordinary numbers make clear is that Reform is less a political party and more a very highly paid public-facing lobby group for oil and gas interests https://www.desmog.com/2026/04/30/reform-uk-nigel-farage-millions-donations-fossil-fuel-interests-climate-science-deniers/

Your periodic reminder that if you ask "frontier models" questions about something you actually know something about, you'll quickly realize that they're completely full of shit.

The BBC News homepage has now COMPLETELY removed its Climate section?! It has now been relegated to a sub-menu via the "More" button in the right-hand corner.

Turns out Milan has a large Chinatown. Huge number of restaurants and street food, we tried Jiao10 which was a great place. Special spring menu right now with tropical beef stew with passion fruit.

Liberals need to understand that many liberals work in defense. Moreover, liberals should *want* liberals to work in defense. They’re an asset to the cause! It’s not a good outcome if everyone involved in war thinks/votes one direction.

One of the reasons I do not trust the left is that the left was pushing Tracey and Taibbi within the last five years.

I kinda forgot about this guy. Sent 3 bombs to CNN and eight years later CNN anchors were dressing up in tuxes and gowns to go celebrate the president that encouraged the bombings.

For the “tone down the rhetoric” crowd, Trump literally posted Obama’s address and the next day a 1/6 guy armed to the teeth showed up casing the residence.

”developments … show that European nations are working with shocking speed to free themselves from dependence on America.” The problem never was that Europeans cannot imagine European security without the US. The problem is that Americans can’t imagine that Europeans can do it.

Nästa museum som ska knäckas.

At the Feltrinelli Librerie bookstore in Milan. I finished Nettle and Bone by @tkingfisher.com on my first day of vacation. Good book, quick read. Next up Katabasis by R.F. Kuang and Calling Bullshit by @carlbergstrom.com #booksky

Trump and Elon Musk destroyed most of the global H.I.V. program that saved hundreds of thousands of lives in Zambia. Now the US is threatening to cut remaining support, unless Zambia gives access to the country’s mineral resources. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/h...

Yeah this hits home. I quit as a senior consultant partly because of this. If things continue, I don't know if I want to continue in IT at all even though I am one of the "safe" ones for quite a while

Wow. Several years ago, it would be hard to imagine a story like this. Now, it's not routine, but not anyhing out of the ordinary. A ground robot evacuated a 77 year old Ukrainian lady from Lyman. Her home of 53 years was destroyed by Russians.

In the UK, solar farms are becoming bird havens.

Major blow for oil giant BP, whose shareholders have voted against scrapping climate reporting, and its resolution to replace in-person annual shareholder meetings with online-only events.

The whole generational tribalism thing is yet another way to divide and conquer. The last season of the show Reservation Dogs talked about the separation of the “young” and the “old” and how it leads to an emptier weaker peoples. We see that happening in real time right now.

Putin, Xi, and Trump all seek the erosion of the democratic systems Europe still defends. As the last real bastion, Europe must step up. That involves projecting strength and backing partners like Canada who are also under fire

💥"Yesterday you could feel a huge relief among leaders. Because it was for the first time in years that there were no Russians in the room, if you know what I'm talking about. But..." And then Robert Fico walks in while Donald Tusk winks at the reporters. Pure perfection.

I usually post this on Anzac Day, but my access to the internet will be limited tomorrow, so here it is today. WWI soldier and casualty Wilfred Owen's words are as relevant as ever this year (The old lie Dulce et Decorum est, Pro patria mori (How sweet and becoming it is to die for one's country))

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.

Efter 22 år i Sverige ska Elena och Dmitriy utvisas till Uzbekistan. Tidöregeringens utvisningspolitik är verkligen avskyvärd.

Available numbers show that last year Russia produced 1100 cruise missiles. The EU - 300. Ballistic missiles: Russia - 900; the EU- 0. To deter Russia we must outproduce Russia. Today in @itre.europarl.europa.eu I presented how @ec.europa.eu is stepping in to help MSs and industry to ramp up🇪🇺

Trump has done more to push the world to renewables than anyone else ever to live. And if he fucks up this week, there will be a world war-type mobilization that way.
