This image always reminds me of this scene and the fact Anthony Hopkins is so powerless to Brad Pitt. Although, even Death has the decency to dress appropriately given the situation.

What Europe would have looked like if we had frozen the borders 3 years into WW2 because we just needed to stop the fighting.

Unelected, not nominated, not appointed. The police should arrest him.

1/ This is what reporters deal with on the regular. This person says I reported something I never reported. None of my sources said this. Ever. And I don't post on X (but do monitor it and keep a locked account there in case folks try to get in touch with me there) so they know I won't weigh-in...

Musk has the ambition to make his xAI the dominant model within the AI race. Such a massive array of supercomputers would generate a vast amount of power, thus heat, thus cooling expenses. If only there was an ideal location cold enough to house these data centres πŸ€”

Unfortunately WhatsApp seems to be the go to choice for most. I’d happily bin it off, just like I have FB, and switch to Telegram. The problem is convincing all of your contacts to do the same.

Their β€œAmerica First” policy they’re pushing should really stretch to not meddling in the domestic policies of other countries.

He hasn’t actually β€˜founded’ or β€˜invented’ anything besides his online fake persona of Adrian Dittmann, which screams just how much of a mentally unstable tool he actually is.

TRUMP 2.0 and European Security - UK in a changing Europe Ben Tonra discusses a second Trump presidency and European security, examining his temperament and nature as a transactional figure.

A somewhat polemical - and gloomy - analysis of the implications of TRUMP 2.0 for European security from yours truly. Thanks to @ukandeu.bsky.social for the invitation. ukandeu.ac.uk/trump-2-0-an...

In months ahead, πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί leaders need to decide long term strategy to tackle πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί economic, fiscal, industrial and security challenges

Conventional view is that πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί is forged in crisis as Monnet’s saying goes

But radical right’s rise in last decade might seriously complicate πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ίβ€™s road to reform

They are providing little dopamine hits that are quite addictive, with negative effects on the brain. Mainly, difficulty in consuming anything that requires a longer attention span (reading books, studying, etc) /2

I feel that the overconsumption of short videos (TikTok, YouTube Shorts) are becoming a major problem, and play a huge role in "brain rot". /1

London housing developments flushing raw sewage directly into rivers Seven housing developments in north and west London are found to be flushing sewage directly into rivers that flow into the Thames

We’re one step ahead of them, apparently… www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...
