Trump and Nutlick said we would be running a surplus by now because of tariffs. According to Trump, a trade deficit means other countries are “ripping us off.” I guess they are ripping us off even more under Trump.

Response to someone in the family whom I'd better not address directly about it: but a few more degrees on top of summer average temperatures in Germany won't make us 'die from heatstroke lol' (his words). What if it's not JUST the temperatures? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Sending ICE Agents to intimidate voters at polling places, declaring martial law to try to delay or cancel the election, seizing ballots-As he gets more desperate, there's nothing he won't do to try to save his pathetic orange ass. ALL states should preemptively prepare to defend Democracy! 🇺🇸 ✊

The best team won. The Orange One must hate it, seeing how Spain is such a thorn in his side. Bet he’s asking Infantilino to retrospectively annul the winning goal?

I think they’ll never start. Maybe I should go to bed.

9:02 pm, still no kick-off. Infantilino out!

It’s 9:01 pm and no kick-off yet. The Americans as hosts are great at boring/bombastic showmanship but they have no respect for football.

“It’s the surviving companies that will rehire, the others will have killed themselves with AI.” I like this statement. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAge...

Thou shalt not buy oil from the foreigners you’re bombing and then claim to be “America First.”

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

Still loving my latest creation and enjoying the spring sunshine while starting to write the pattern for this shawl. #knitting

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box. The Senate must reject this bill.

Thought on gen AI: we now have AI to replace humans by pretending to be them, writing and talking to other humans, then we have AI to 'humanise' the AI output, and finally we have AI to figure out that it was AI all along. Do we have no other urgent issues? Take care of the humans in your life. 🩵

So European Commission President UvdL advocates for 'low emission' (but high-radiation) nuclear energy to secure energy supply especially in times of geopolitical tension. Genius! Why not build your enemies' nukes in your own country? They just need to hit them conventionally then!

“per seat licensing sucks if seats are hit by job losses” I had this thought for a few years but never managed to put it quite so succinctly. Thank you, Georg Zoeller aka the Attention Economist. www.linkedin.com/posts/georgz...

Dozens of wannabe EU translators who were forced last year to resit a grueling entry exam because of a technical blunder say they have now been incorrectly disqualified.

I like to watch Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway's Pivot podcast. That's where Scott first came up with the idea, at least that I know, and I am very glad to see it is gaining traction. www.resistandunsubscribe.com

There is always a tweet.

How can US ice-hockey players parading a deceased teammate's jersey be a 'beautiful gesture' and a Ukrainian skeleton rider wearing a helmet with uncommented pictures of dead teammates a 'political statement'? Did the politicisation of the helmet happen in the heads of the IOC who disqualified him?

Very powerful thread.

"The Supreme Court has been swayed by foreign interests." (Trump on tariffs decision) 🤔

These two women are suing Andrew Tate, alleging he raped them. Here they visit the social media companies that created Tate. Please share. *one voice altered to disguise identity

My hometown Halberstadt has its very own Olympic Champion now! Bravo, Georg Fleischhauer of the two-man bob team with Johannes Lochner! So proud. #MiCo2026

I hope Jeff Bezos thinks the money he sunk on the leaden duck that is the Melania documentary (our French/American friends call it 'Rich housewives') was worth it, given how he single-handedly sinks an institution of respected journalism to please... whom?

I cancelled my WaPo subscription. You're welcome, Bezos.

If the UK Parliament goes on to investigate the Peter Mandelson connection through Global Counsel with the UK government contract going in direct award to Palantir, could the result change the UK government's view of AI in general or even topple the UK government? www.theregister.com/2026/01/28/m...

There is only one Boss, and his name is not Trump. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWKS...

Mark Rutte’s encouragement to NATO allies talking about less US involvement to ‘dream on’ is decidedly unhelpful, especially given that his ‘daddy’ had quite clearly told him and the European allies to take care of their own defence. 👎

Glad to read this morning that Greg Bovino is not only leaving Minnesota but has been kicked out of his post altogether: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
