Well that was inevitable, wasn't it?

bluesky is the best app because nearly every leftist and lib on this dumb site who scream at each other all day about any number of topics- we all agreed that platner sucked shit the second that tattoo dropped. totally different from threads, twitter, fb, tiktok you name it

It's probably time European journalists wrapped their heads around Heat Index (temp + relative humidity). In high humidity, sweating is less efficient, making heat worse, e.g.: Experiencing 35°C in London UK (70% RH) is more dangerous than 50°C in Phoenix Arizona (15% RH)

Twitter/X is an enormous national security threat on a global scale, and a lot more nations need to grow a spine and start blocking it (and taking other active, aggressive measures).

'Streisand effect' Where an attempt to hide, censor, or remove information results in the information receiving far more attention 'Hormuz effect' Where an attempt to impose or prolong something ends up undermining it or hastening its demise e.g. Fossil fuels www.businessgreen.com/news/4530013...

Slightly diminish a book: To Upset a Mockingbird

It's a shame that "defend your culture" always means "hate strangers different from you" and never "enact anti-pollution laws so that you can go fishing with your grandkids the way your grandpa taught you."

Got him. May we see many more mugshots like this from around the world.

Trump still cannot agree the conditions of this unconditional surrender.

It's the liars vs bullshitters thing. The Iranian regime are liars - they know what the truth is but they will tell tactical and strategic lies to further their agenda. The rest of the time they may well default to the truth. Trump is a bullshitter. The truth is irrelevant or even non-existent.

UK Labour please take note...

Hungarians showing how to win big in an unfair election: organize AND protest AND vote AND demand profound change.

I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail. Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

I have a father and mother in law in Iran. I have a sister in law. A niece. She's 14. She likes silly pink headbands and purses and dresses, just like kids her age all over the world. There are 93 million people like her in Iran. People who do all the normal mundane life things as the rest of us.

I said years ago that Donald Trump is what you’d get if Satan made his own man in mockery of God

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” These are the words of the president of the United States, today. The president speaks genocide. And so we too must speak. Not only about crimes, but about their legal punishment. snyder.substack.com/p/the-presid...

This is no longer where you're headed USA, you have arrived.

Best banner I've seen from #nokings over the pond

Trump, putin, and Netanyahu now all campaign for Orban against EU and the free world In other words, russia is now aligned with ALL participants of the current war in Iran - Iran, US, and Israel Sounds weird But remember that russia’s goal is always more chaos and crisis Everything makes sense

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

Turns out that Israel and the US were too chicken to send warships through the Strait of Hormuz so they begged Europe, expecting our warships to be bombed instead of theirs. They wanted our sailors to die on their behalf in the war they fucking started.

cold take but the capital of the free world is kyiv. they still believe in everything these thugs have abandoned

If I'd rushed into a poorly planned campaign around a notorious maritime choke point that left it closed to friendly shipping I'd carefully lay off the Churchill comparisons, but hey...

Oh now I get it. Dubai is Golgafrinchan Ark B.

2022: Ukraine asks to close the sky 2026: Ukraine is asked to close the sky

It's 1953 and the West is toppling a middle-eastern government with no plan what to do next. It's 2003 and the West is toppling a middle-eastern government with no plan what to do next. It's 2026 and the West is toppling a middle-eastern government with no plan what to do next...

The Pedo Wars were a series of armed conflicts fought by the United States in the early 21st century as a means to distract from the fact that their president was a pedo.

WOW! New #BrokenNews arrival IMMINENT: youtu.be/TWPOfVdmYig

The reason Anne Frank's story has resonated with so many people over so many years is not because circumstances have to be exactly the same as her's for anyone to care, but because anything remotely like it is wrong, and societies moving in that direction should oppose it well before they get there.

Europe is still treating this like a temporary emergency instead of a long-term shift. If we want the war to end, we have to prepare as if it will last forever. That means move past the month-to-month panic and start placing decade-long industrial orders. Let’s finally win!

UK supporters of trump are traitors and I hope the security services are keeping tabs on them.

He can have Greenland if he can learn to speak the language coherently in 12 months. English, I mean.

If you support Donald Trump you are a traitor to the UK.

What makes this so much worse of a betrayal is that there is a war raging in Europe. Trump looked at this and decided that this war made us Europeans weak enough to take advantage of. We should never forget that.

Dear American friends on this platform, we know you have a lot on your plate. But your government is threatening the sovereignty of our neighbor Denmark, jeopardizing NATO and trying to cow us into submission with tariffs meant to ruin our economy. Will you stand by or speak out?

This is what every dictator fears the most. You. You can overthrow these pieces of shit, as History already showed time and time again. Plus, you want to see the face of a dictator melt as he realises he is losing ground and about to get fucked. This is priceless. Am I right, Nicolae Ceaușescu ?

Trump is threatening wars with NATO and Venezuela for the same reason he’s at war with the American people: fascism must always be on the march. Authoritarians are good at offense, but bad at defense. The only strategy for combating the Epstein crisis is literally going to war.

"I'm not mad at you" as your last words on earth are really not all that far from "forgive them father for they know not what they do."

If Democrats can't win on "the administration is full of and covering for kiddie rapers and they're using your tax money to invade Venezuela and pay fat Nazis to shoot your neighbors" then GET THE FUCK OUT OF POLITICS

Recs for on-the-ground reporters/observers/people in Venezuela posting at least part of the time in English?

“Maduro was bad.“ Sure. Saddam and Gaddafi were butchers, and our actions were much more cloaked in legality. How did those wars turn out?

A gangster state at home, a rogue state abroad: and entirely because Congress and the Supreme Court have abdicated their proper constitutional roles.

Any reporter commenting on the illegal invasion and bombing of Venezuela by pointing out its government is “authoritarian” is providing cover and consent for the Trump admin’s crimes. Venezuelans are the victims here. Their government isn’t relevant in this. We are trying to steal their resources

Be like Katie, friends. Make them hear you.

War is peace
