I have spent my adult life writing about coups, juntas, and dictatorships for a living. When the government controls media coverage, it is called "state-controlled media" and your government is an authoritarian regime.

Bringing together doom metal riffing, high pitched vocals, incredibe polyrhytmic drumming and great compositions: this album by Confessor is just brilliant. Enjoying my original first pressing. Confessor - Condemned (1991 – UK, Earache – MOSH 44) #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #metalsky

Woke up to see Donald Trump sharing a video on Truth Social about turning Gaza into a holiday resort with a giant gold statue of Trump, ending with a final shot of Trump and Netanyahu enjoying the beach together. Absolutely unhinged. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

Macron yesterday: "No. We paid 60%" (US and others 'paid' 40% but largely in weapons produced from .. it's own US economy) Look at the reaction of sociopath Trump after being treated like the lying toddler he is. That's how you deal with a narcissistic sociopath www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVCI...

This is truly shameful. Even China and Iran abstained. The US has put itself in the company of some of the worst states in the world - Russia, Belarus, North Korea. Hungary showing its true colours as Russia's Trojan horse in the EU as well.

On Fire. One Fire? ON FIRE!! The way Horacio "el negro" Hernandez keeps the cowbell clave go on during the song is just insane. One of the best pieces of music I've heard recently.

Voor de camera van RTL-journalist Jaïr Ferwerda zei asielminister Marjolein Faber (PVV) vrijdag dat de Oekraïense president Volodymyr Zelensky „niet democratisch gekozen” is. Nadat Faber er door andere ministers op was aangesproken, kwam ze terug op haar uitspraak. https://buff.ly/438XzSW

De Poetin-propaganda zit in Nederland gewoon aan tafel in de ministerraad. Levensgevaarlijk voor Oekraïne en ons eigen land. D66 wil een debat over deze uitspraken van Faber. Hoe lang blijft het voor VVD en NSC acceptabel dat zij in het kabinet zit?

It even surprises me how these people fit so neatly into my model of information disorder, distrust that's radicalised by online communities that reinforce that sense of distrust.

Was Vance’s speech just now in Munich the ugliest example of gaslighting in recent times?? Not Russia, not extreme right, but European moderators who fight “desinformation” are worst enemies of democracy. We’ve arrived in a nightmare mirror world.

Vance, was die niet van die partij die weigerde een eerlijke verkiezingsuitslag te erkennen en daarmee de Capitoolbestorming in gang zette? Die Vance? Van de partij die destijds de wens van de Amerikaanse kiezer niet respecteerde? Die Vance neemt ons nu de maat? www.bnr.nl/nieuws/inter...
