What a bizarre article. The premise is about Americans moving to Europe to flee Trumpism, but nearly everyone quoted moved there before Trump was elected.

did any of these people google the countries they were moving to

there are eight million stories in the naked city; this one is ranked 7,931,206th

Something I think is a cute distinction between the US and UK is how we understand distance. When we had American relatives visit us in York we were so confused when they described it exactly this way, "just outside London"!

In a phone call from Mogadishu, one of the Somalis who was sent to Guantanamo Bay before deportation said the ICE agents guarding the prison told him they would bring all of the Somalis they arrest to Gitmo.

i think. like ok if i ever fucked up so bad my eighth grade teacher posted up on a street corner to literally picket my behavior. i mean i would simply kill myself like that’s all there is to it

that circular menu with the little hearts is such a charming touch, and a game with a calm ambiance is perfect for a cozy night. enjoy the finish 🎮

Now imagine the results of elections without billions of dollars of dark money putting a thumb on the scale

DEBATE MODERATOR: We’ve heard from many constituents about this as their number one campaign issue, so we will ask both candidates: Do you disavow President Obama’s comments on The Cheesecake Factory?

Whoever signed off on this needs to swing

Oh, shit. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Oh lol it's the "we brought back the direwolf" guy

Another one. The premise: Young people are cutting off their parents for minor mistakes and misunderstandings. The lead anecdote: A woman severs ties with her family for refusing to get vaccinated before her wedding — to a man who *lost his mother and brother to COVID*

It’s pretty funny to be called “elite” for supporting trans people by a cigar-smoking, champagne-swilling, yacht-owning billionaire, but hey, why shouldn’t we all bow to the opinion of someone not trans, not queer, not a doctor, not a scientist, but who’s really really rich?

Musk : it's full self driving People : the car killed someone Musk : did I say full self driving i meant the driver has to have his hands on the wheel all the time and be ready to intervene <3 months pass> Musk : it's full self driving

AirBnB host making me shave his wife’s back to complete checkout ?

lmao what a loser

Reminder that a lot of these guys think mass executions "civilised" Europe. bsky.app/profile/stai...

It's this, and, it's also an overtly supremacist and eugenicist ideological turn. It is founded on the idea that life is supposed to crush the weak and that if you help people you're undermining society at large by preventing a natural process that would eliminate undesirable elements.

Aberfan was a thing you were told about, growing up in Wales in the Seventies, but with no real context. The older you get, the more you learn, and the more you learn, the angrier you get. Working class lives treated as expendable. Same as Senghenydd. No Health & Safety for the poor. R.I.P. the 144.

"derangement syndrome" just means "omg you noticed that i'm horrible, not cool"

Really fascinating case of a thoroughly orphaned cultural object. What living person is Ali G "satirising" in 2026? Like, Harry Enfield didn't scrap Loadsamoney due to political correctness, it's cos the Thatcherist parvenu (and the anxiety its emergence triggered within society) no longer exists.

*sees French people doing the most French thing imaginable* This is because of Russia

THE dramatic image from the protests in France last Saturday. Kids losing eyes to police teargas grenades aren't photogenic. But can you guess why the Limoges city hall was only 140 years old? Because the previous one was destroyed by revolutionaries in support of the Paris Commune in 1871.

Imagine going out to find a missing pioneer of flight, only to come back with evidence that Silver Birch is an invasive species in the South Pacific.

fuck i just realized my wife has never disavowed the muslim brotherhood

Mr El Sayed do you denounce the Dark Brotherhood from Skyrim. And if so, did you still accept quests from them

Basically everyone is falling for AI now

The last gasp of the most selfish generation. "Me me me" until the very end.

Interviewing a govt minister Hazarika shows a graph comparing young people claiming PIP to the size of our armed forces & declares it "tells a story about modern Britain" I can't even make a sarcastic comment about our fearless fourth estate, because Hazarika is a Labour politician

This is a masterclass in effective communication while also not being afraid to point out bigotry for what it is. We should be so lucky to have someone like this in our government.

something that occurred to me is, everyone knows it’s possible to become a musician with work and practice. but you can’t work on and practice music while staring slackjawed at your phone. the real promise of generative AI is the ability to ‘make’ ‘art’ without reducing your slackjawed scroll time

That should certainly be the trigger for all governments in Europe to eliminate their dependence on MS, and, indeed, ALL US tech companies, because Apple and Google have bent the knee in other ways.

It would IMO be better if MPs had not utterly deranged their own brains on Twitter dot com, wildly radicalising themselves and each other.
