"We were told you had Daim Bars in stock, is this not the case?"

Donald Trump wasn’t lying when he said he could get away with shooting someone in the street in broad daylight. He just forgot to specify if it would be murder for hire.

Novgorod Nigel doing what he does best: shilling for the Kremlin. #Farage #Putin #Hawhaw

That a US gov officer shot and killed an unarmed civilian today (an extra judicial killing) who posed no threat is beyond disturbing. That the Secretary of Homeland Security is now referring to the victim's actions as "domestic terrorism" is a desecration of everything that America stands for.

Arrest the murderer and arrest Bovino. Not complicated.

the most concerning thing about them justifying murdering an obviously completely innocent murder by ICE is if they can justify and defend this, there’s nothing that’s too far for them. anything you can imagine them doing is very likely something they’ll stand behind

These schemes are basically a scam invented by politicians to appear to be doing something, knowing full well they will either fail or turn out to be counterproductive

“‘They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do,’ the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. ‘We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,’ the woman cries.” www.advocate.com/news/minneso...

Now that ICE is murdering people in the street can we agree that people were not over-reacting when they called the Trump regime fascists?

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

We are Christopher Isherwood, watching the scenes in the Berlin street below from our apartment window above.

The inescapable view that on both the UK and USA, Charles de Gaulle was absolutely right.

If the US annexes Greenland, Belgium should annex the NATO HQ in Brussels as the seat for NATO’s replacement.

I think of this line every single day: “The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.”

BREAKING Irish Govt to move Grok to another parish.

this reminds me of frankie boyles bit about the 2008 financial crisis where he’s stood on stage screaming “it was the banks, the banks! They showed us them doing it on the fucking news! Am I the only one who remembers this?!”

I am once again calling for some sort of exemption from additional illnesses for those who already have chronic illnesses. (Yes, I have man-flu, which is dangerous enough to otherwise healthy middle-aged men, let alone to ones with Long Covid).

Meanwhile, in Belgium news:

I guess the lesson is - never outsource your security.

If you ever feel, as I often do, that you’re just not quite smart enough to maintain a grasp of the complexities and rapidly-changing nature of the modern world, console yourself with the thought that they made Liz Truss Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and you’re way, way smarter than her.

this is small comfort given he has state power and i don’t but i am struck by what an obviously weak and fragile man miller is. a blubbering piss baby whose entire affect and personality is an attempt to make up for his profound feelings of inadequacy

Spilled pan of pasta water on foot - burns Lifting empty kettle - torn back muscle Hit by swing bending down to pick up litter - knocked out, bled Bounced off sofa onto table - cut, bled Hit by cricket ball I was trying to catch - knocked out, black eye Hit self in face with guitar - bust lip

This brilliant Chris Morris sketch was funny because of course a politician wouldn't start a war just because of media goading. But you can imagine Trump doing just that. youtu.be/r3BO6GP9NMY?...

There goes the neighbourhood (and by neighbourhood I mean The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation).

“Why are you holding that pillow like that?”

I really don’t understand how someone can be charged in one country with legally possessing guns in another country. It’s like prosecuting an NRA-member prepper who’s never left Arkansas in London for breaking UK gun laws in the US.

Nicolás Maduro Charged With Felony Oil Possession

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

I see anti-trump Americans getting tetchy at being blamed for Trump or for not putting themselves on the line to stop him, and I do get it. But at the same time, there is nobody coming to save you. Nobody else can. We’d like to as it impacts us, but only Americans can solve an American problem.

This is the funniest thing that's ever happened on Threads.

You get a 3-for-1 offer with these guys. youtu.be/PE9HvSdcaL4?...

Michael Stipe, de voormalige frontman van R.E.M., wordt vandaag 66 jaar. Om dat te vieren hier een waanzinnige live-performance van 'The One I Love' uit 2001. Michael Stipe gaat hierop zo héérlijk tekeer: ondeugend kijkend naar het publiek, tong uit zijn mond en zijn longen uit zijn lijf zingend. 🔥

UK: Hey EU, we’ve had a great idea. EU: OK. UK: We think our national interest suggests we’d be better off in the Single Market. EU: Don’t say it! UK: But … EU: DON’T SAY IT! UK: Obviously no Freedom of Movement. EU: ARRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH

Absolutely insane to see so many posts today claiming Trump’s decision to grab Maduro in Venezuela will somehow embolden Putin to do likewise in Ukraine. NEWSFLASH: Putin has already been trying to kill Zelenskyy since the very start of the invasion and has utter contempt for international law

If you think 2026 is weird in the real world, in 2026 in my F1 25 career Hamilton has retired, Verstappen has moved to Ferrari, and I’ve just won the Austrian GP in a Sauber who are the second-ranked team by performance.

In fairness almost all the moss that has ever existed was outside the ISS.

🚨🚨EMERGENCY EPISODE🚨🚨 Very few people can claim to have met and known 🇻🇪's Maduro, Chavez & interim president Delcy Rodriguez. Well, my guest @catheriner.bsky.social, former 🇬🇧 ambassador in Caracas, is one of them and she spoke to me earlier today. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/b...

But another risk for Europe is Putin invading (say) the Baltic states, and Trump pressuring them as he's pressuring Ukraine, to give up territory for "peace" plus business deals for his cronies etc

If he has not been abducted by a US snatch-squad by then.

All the other leaders of NATO members need to say the same. Every single one.

All the benefits of the Single Market without Freedom of Movement, is it? Again?

I’ve been reading about influential new “conservative intellectuals” or “post-liberals” for at least a decade now and every time it’s just racism with a different hat on. Whatever the spin, it’s always fundamentally the same idea
