We don’t need to "save the planet." The planet will be fine. We need to save the conditions that allow human civilization to thrive. Let's be clear about the stakes.

Russia will start a war with the West. The deep militarisation of economy and more importantly the culture was so fundamental and irreversible, they have no choice but to try getting a return of that imvestment.

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library gifted more than 332,000,000 books since it was first created 31 years ago.

2022 - 2026, front line from space 😳

I came first in the Clacton by-election! Of the candidates who bothered to turn up for the results. Here is my victory speech!

Ukraine's vile and brutal attacks on Wildberries in 2026 forced russia to start its defensive invasion in 2014.

I saw a video of a small girl in a Russian orphanage these days. Her diaper was full and she hugged a stuffed bunny, all while trillions are funneled into the war. It was that moment when my general disdain for Putin, the propagandists, the apathetic masses, turned into pure, burning hatred.

AI companies may lose money on every token, but they make up for that by selling a lot of tokens.

Oppenheimer and The Odyssey are movies about men feeling guilt and shame over their life's crowning achievement bringing untold suffering into the world clearly this is an expression of Christopher Nolan's guilt for popularizing superhero movies with The Dark Knight

God this is bleak. Almost everybody cheated and learned less than in previous years www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

Thanks to Trump, the Americans cannot even blame the defeat on not having their best player.

A FIFA referee has spent more time in federal custody for being Somali than anybody on epstein's list for raping kids.

I will rigorously block any and all accounts posting AI-generated content not marked as such. I don't want to consume the dead Internet.

I did the reasonable thing and bought more when the markets dipped, fully confident about a coming TACO. It's too early to say whether it was smart, but it looks like I just made money from betting against the US. This should really scare the US and the West as a whole.

My wife, who lived in Moscow until 2020, recently had a bit of nostalgia about her career (and spectacular earnings) in her company back there. This weekend, her former boss and company owner has been shot down by the Russian air defense in his light aircraft outside of Moscow.

Since the start of the full-scale invasion, 2,000 children abducted by Russia have been successfully returned to Ukraine. Specifically, 83 children returned home with the assistance of Qatar, and 19 through the mediation of Melania Trump.

Me watching AI causing RAM prices to skyrocket while I'm on my n-th playthrough of Baldur's Gate 2 on my trusty old potato computer:

Das ist wirklich bitter ☹️

It's -4°C with icy rain in Berlin. Shoutout to the granny drinking her morning coffee while stoically sitting outside of an almost empty café. ☕

So... it turns out the Russian army got scammed by some Chinese company, who sold them penguin costumes, promising those made the wearers invisible to drones. lol. lmao even.

Airlines will not show this to prevent walkouts.

Me and the wife meeting for the first coffee after getting kicked all night by a 2-year old.

So Trump's Greenland deal is basically maintaining the status quo, while the EU-US trade deal is put on hold. Europeans may think this was a good outcome, but in Trump's (and his followers) mind, he won big time after unthinkable provocation. He goes oit of this with "My art of the deal worked."

Turning 40 tomorrow. Preview of the face that will look back at me from the mirror in some hours.

i wish i could still buy things at the prices i used to complain about

Pretty sure we wouldn't talk about Greenland if Denmark had nukes. We wouldn't talk about the war in Ukraine if Ukraine had kept their nukes. There's a lesson here that many countries are currently learning.

Putin: "I wish we had a multipolar world in which strong countries can bully the weak as they want."

So what was on this damn Mariner ship?

3/ Some Europeans continue to put their faith in the US. American soldiers will refuse orders, American institutions will intervene, the midterms will save us, Democrats will return Greenland, and so on. The problem is that this mindset places Europe in a helpless position, with no agency of its own

You can judge a society by how it treats its weakest. And also condemn it.

People focus too much on the arrest of an illegitimate dictator that the whole civilized world named as such and not enough on the fact that the US explicitly stated they're trying to take over a country via a puppet regime.

Hey! You! You're finally awake! Walked right into that imperial ambush, didn't you?

- Spend decades and billions on dismantling international law - dismantled international law immediately kills your global power projection

Donald Trump says he’ll run Venezuela, so by his business record, it’ll soon be shut down

If the president of Taiwan would be abducted, it would be a diplomatic crisis and the Taiwanese government will function largely unaffected. That is the difference between a democracy and a dictatorship.

Releasing the Epstein Files was the weirdest way to find out that Donald Trump has actually had one real friend.

So genius Elon is doing Uber with expensive extra steps.

My response to anything over the next two weeks

The Youtube experience these days.

The new US National Security Strategy, in its predictable and characteristic ugliness, is a good occasion for Europe to finally let go of the time-consuming transatlantic crisis management efforts and start focusing on a proper and proactive own strategy instead.
