President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Zelenskyy says Trump 'lives in disinformation bubble' with discord sowed by Russia www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

I keep reassessing his likely IQ in my head and this post alone takes it from 105 to 103

What this means is that Elon Musk doesn’t know what he’s doing. He has no idea about the coding and what is going on To claim that $4.7 trillion is untraceable is bullshit. It just means he doesn’t have access and for good reason. www.foxnews.com/politics/dog...

Wow, this is outrageous! DOGE claims they found fraud where 150 year olds were receiving Social Security! What a joke these incompetent, inexperienced folks running this department are! #BlueCrew #BlueCircleFamily🌈🦋 #BluePetPatrol💙🐾 #ProudBlue #Resist #TruthWarriors #antitrump #antimaga

Meanwhile, so much for “free speech” over at The Bad Place.

And used ‘irregulars’ in counter insurgency

“Bad ideas do a lot of the work of building autocracy. By forcing us to engage with them, they make our conversations dumber … they plunge us into an anxious state in which thinking is difficult. That kind of anxiety is key to totalitarian control” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/o...

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth. The divestment movement weakened apartheid South Africa. Let's do that again. slate.com/business/202...

If there is one positive in all of this it is the final, definitive end to the fiction these companies are global. They are as American as the United Fruit Company and Standard Oil were in their time.

He asked for the moon, he’s been promised Mars

🔥 AMAZING. Today, the Baltic states disconnected their power grids from that of Russia. It’s taken years of prep. What a moment.

Americans may not realise it, but other Western countries are profoundly worried at the new norms arising out of the fascist govt there & its policy document Project 2025. The reason for this is the influence & control the US has over Western nations.

Elon Musk's Grok AI, just now. I had to personally confirm the meme for myself. This is real.

“Trump is nothing more than the delivery agent.” He couldn’t write an Executive Order - he even seemed mildly surprised at the first tranche of orders

My most boomer trait is wanting documents as email attachments, not via fiddly sharepoints or collaborative facetube interfaces or God forbid, invitations to a shared MS Teams channel *shakes stick at sky*

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Shackleton’s 27 men were chosen from more than 5,000 applicants. What did he look for? “The quality I look for most is optimism,” he said, “especially optimism in the face of reverses and apparent defeat. Optimism is true moral courage.”

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality.

🔴The Real BBC ‘Impartiality Crisis’ Is Its Constant Platforming of Hard Right Tufton Street Think Tanks The broadcaster provides an oversized platform for representatives from opaquely-funded libertarian lobby groups, argues Julian Petley bylinetimes.com/2024/12/21/b...

fasciated by The Sun reacting to news that Amorim broke a television with the headline "Ruben Goes Radio Rental". I want to know what % of the population understands the rhyming slang, what % knows what Radio Rental was, how many people are confused by the radio / television inconsistency.

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?

What's the point of being rich if you can't afford to do the right thing.
