You belong, you belong more than anyone at this moment. ❤️

I love it !

Once in a while, I will go through old cassettes and stumble upon Hazel O'Conner's "Will You" and wonder why why this track is not better known and remembered. The saxophone is incredible and it's really haunting.

Just found my old Minidisk player which I have not used for 20 years and damn, I have a great taste in music 😍

Always gets me how the US continually goes on about being the "Land of the FREE!" whilst it is one on the least free countries in the Western World... (most of the Eastern too...)

This is hideous ! You can't see what it represents anymore with gold slathered all over it. Also, should the gritty reality of Iwo Jima be represented with gold ?

25 years ago, I came out of a meeting and saw all my colleagues in the office coffee corner watching an action film with a plane crashing into a building, My initial thought was "Slackers"... That was the start of the next 25 years.

I remember when Obama forgot to do the salute and Fox News went on about it for days..... "Disrespect from the commander in chief towards our service members...etc..etc"

I really recommend this video. This is the sleaze of politics which #reform have always claimed to be against...

@atrupar.com Why is no news media actually reporting what is really going on in Hormuz, other than repeating what Trump says ? What is the true situation there ?

Gotta say, in Europe we still see it on Google Maps as Lake Ontario and also the Gulf of Mexico. Seems like you 'Muricans are living in an alternative reality ?

....so Trump is also killing wild horses ? Hmm.... 🤔

#Stockholm #Sweden is really buzzing right now, it's normally a bit sleepy in July but apparently #badbunny is playing this weekend with street parties and after show events. I have not seen this level of buzz since #TaylorSwift 's last concert. I had never heard of him before the Superbowl.

.... @cnn.com This is the second time today that CNN is reporting Trump's ravings as fact ! Please stop ! Tell us the news !

@cnn.com Please stop reporting obvious lies as if they are based on any form of reality. Tell us the truth !

I always think that these adverts for a Swedish dental chain is an invitation to punch them..

One thing I have realised about this Bluesky outage is.. . Just how terrible Twitter has become...

The United States of America is the ONLY Nation on earth who's citizens are permitted to have guns SPECIFICALLY in order to rise up against an Authoritarian government and yet they choose to do FUCK All 🤔 This is the feeling we have in Europe.

The Guardian: As lawmakers condemn Trump’s comments, saying they are tantamount to the president telegraphing war crimes, my colleagues Joseph Gedeon and Lauren Gambino have more on the implications for international law.

The Guardian: Margarita Robles, the Spanish defence minister, has reiterated her country’s commitment to Nato and unilateralism saying that the US and Israel “can’t be the ones who, without anyone’s support, not even of their allies, decide what type of rules or peace apply in the world”.

As a Brit who won’t be baited by a sycophantic halfwit like Hegseth I would suggest the Royal Navy might consider a more active approach once American politicians stop slagging us off and the US Navy demonstrates its ability to sail one of its Aircraft Carriers through the “Safe” Strait of Hormuz

Technically, the president can't leave NATO without congressional approval. He also can't start a war without congressional approval, yet here we are. (2024 National Defense Authorization Act)

OK, all well and good, but does this mean that OpenAI and ChatGPT are openly monitoring our conversations with their LLM ? Isn't this against their terms of service ? edition.cnn.com/2026/02/25/p...

Just went on the 'other platform' to check some accounts I follow, non political. But I accidentally clicked on the "For you" tab and 90% of the posts were from Elon/Hegseth/Joe Rogan. Like, why is anyone still there ?

Private Eye cover from 2011 !!! They nailed it, years before anyone really knew about it...

I sometimes doom scroll on #bluesky and feel that I have picked up on all that is happening in the US. I then realize I am just scrolling through @atrupar.com's feed. Thanks @atrupar.com for the service you provide us !

What exactly did the EU say to #TRUMP about Greenland ? That topic has vanished out of his narrative faster than the #EPSTEINFILES.

Still getting strange vibes about this under-reported incident.

Is this for real ? Under the banner of "Board of Peace" which hasn't even met yet ?

Jared Kushner presented a 'master plan' for Gaza at the Board of Peace event this morning. Slides included 'New Gaza' and 'New Rafah'.

How did we go from America First ! To giving each Greenlander $100,000 ?

I am scared to go to sleep, as I am scared to what I will wake upto.

Two things could happen here, either Putin rejects the invitation, he wouldn't want to be seen to be beneath Trump. Or secondly all the other members will drop out, no one wants to be seen to be at the same table as Putin. Whatever happens, the board is useless; Trump will just veto every decision.

I love watching Americans wake up to see the disaster that we Europeans have been looking at all day.

When Trump claims that the Ukraine/Russia conflict is a foreign war that the US shouldn't be involved in. Why does he want to bomb Iran/Yemen etc which are even further way ?

YES ! This is getting to him !

Danish MP Rasmus Jarlov tells Matt Frei that Denmark will not hand over Greenland to the US, it would be a war

Does the US actually have boots on the ground in Venezuela? Or have they just kidnapped it's President and left the rest of the Government in status quo ?

Quite proud that me (not a programmer) and Google #Gemini have built a PHP webpage which tracks the daily indoor and outdoor temperatures based on #raspberrypi sensors. I am a total novice at this stuff, but #AI has made it so easy !

Interesting that the Russians removed all of their Diplomatic families before this. Almost like they knew of the impending invasion before the American Congress did ?

Not joking, but I logged into X on my burner account and 90% of the 'For You' posts mention fELON in one form or another. Who would want to spend anytime there ? It reeks of desperation...

McDonald’s USA — Employee: $15/hr, no benefits — Big Mac: $5.79 McDonald’s Denmark — Employee: $22/hr, 6 weeks vacation, 1 year paid maternity leave, life insurance, pension — Big Mac: $5.49 Tell us more about how raising the minimum wage would affect the cost of hamburgers.

Sort of happy that even the most rabid MAGA defenders on Truth Social are calling out their cult leader on this..... It's the drip, drip of his supporters moving away from his rhetoric.
