That A24 Civil War film was an overhyped pretentious dud. A black perspective would have given it the visceral urgency it wished & wanted to achieve.

As far as I can tell, the main driving ideology of the new administration is cruelty for cruelty’s sake

Struggling to understand the German election's maths? You're not alone, The Economist with a fantastic explainer below..

“DOGE has targeted a shocking sweep of basic government services with an unprecedented level of slash-and-burn nihilism. There’s no considered plan, just careless mass destruction — and Musk’s desire to control everything, whatever the risks.” www.theverge.com/elon-musk/61...

Idiocracy was a documentary

Yeah we def need a bookmark feature on @bsky.app

The mind virus claims another victim

I’m not even gonna bother fact checking this before posting because, Well, Y’know…

So I guess everyone in Europe is now starting to understand how the rest of the world feels

Brexit, anyone?

This is significant. Farage is meeting Musk’s preconditions for bankrolling Reform UK.

You can “vote” on the Mirror website on whether or not you think leaving the EU was a mistake www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

As the USA pisses off every nation on the planet - while gutting its own security agencies - Escalating terror attacks are predictably inevitable. These attacks will be on the civilian population, and quite clearly the government don’t give a single flying fuck about their own populous.

Poppy shaggers are notably silent when faced with an actual threat

Putin's birthday isn't even a holiday in Russia

Noticeable silence from the poppy shaggers.

Don’t poke the European bear.

Buy a copy of Red Dawn before it’s removed from all streaming sites

NATO was born out of the ashes of a European war started by a dictator enabled by Appeasement. Those who do not learn from history risk repeating it.

I'm told the noise at the end was three people clapping. They were all in Vance's entourage. The US is now both pariah and pitiful on the international stage.

Music is often viewed as an extra, just fun - but it's also the fascia of friendships, the centre of highs, there for you in lows, has the power to unify a stadium of strangers, an army and communicate impossibly delicate emotions Imagine how different your life would be without it!? x #music

My friend said she and her mom agreed not to speak Spanish to each other in public anymore. Oh man, that hit hard. I’m so sorry this is who we’ve become.

Malign interests yet again demonstrating that when it comes to agility, they can identify a vulnerable political space and be up and running in it, before the left even notices there was one.

Old school. Remember when internet/social media was an interconnected force for good?

The only two nuclear armed forces in the EU were France & the UK. The French would never be dumb enough to leave (or be manipulated to leave) the EU.

I cannot stand the sight/sound of both Clarkson & Farage. Ironically, I would love to see them debate the clusterf*ck that is Brexit

The epic bravery shown by Ukraine as it fights the monster on its doorstep, is in stark contrast to the world’s leading superpower being easily rolled over. America has lost a war it doesn’t even acknowledge it’s in.

If you wanted to do a little training session on the meaning of FAFO, this would be perfect.

Heads up Elon. It’s a tale as old as time. We all know the ending…

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

Quick reminder: Out of the whole party, she was the best option they had for leader…
