FIFA is pathetic

Great for demographics 👍

And it's really easy for one side and hard for the other.

Yep. Public reports about not defending Taiwan will produce WAR THROUGH WEAKNESS

Why do criminals need to meet in person?
What's sanctions relief worth to Russia's oligarchs?

You need a fashion consultant.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

“We are currently clean on OPSEC” accidentally sent to a journalist is an all time classic.

Secdef Lloyd Austin went to the hospital for prostate issues.

The GOP was trying to crush him.

Seems kinda small today huh

I'd class him more as a bad faith actor

Why would they? This is what America voted for.

A reminder that Trump, the luckiest man on earth, like in 2017, is inheriting a strong, growing economy with months & months of job growth & growing real wages (even though most Americans don’t know it!), & will almost certainly 1) take credit for it and 2) screw it all up again.

2025: Keep democracy alive. FrameLab New Year's resolutions Advice for defeating the authoritarian threat

Tips to keep democracy alive in 2025:

Not a big story.

I knew Rus poisoned a Ukr President.
I knew about the Maidan riots.
I knew people and politicians were either pro European or pro Rus.
I wondered why Rus would have support in a post soviet country and figured Ukrainians must be strange. I didn't realise those supporting Rus were Russians in Ukr.

Hmm, disgusting doesn't quite cover it...

Over in the other place, the billionaire owner is threatening to fund ‘moderate’ (rightwing) candidates in heavily Democratic districts too.

This is what oligarchy looks like. It’s the biggest threat to democracy today. Not ‘cancel culture.’ Not trans kids. Not college protesters.

Oligarchy.

Bluesky only. Appreciating your work from Australia 🫶

Russia helping North Korea with nuclear weapons technology isn't disturbing to you?

Just good kayfabe. He's committed to the bit so Donald Trumps character generates more heat/emotions.

Just good Kayfabe. He's committed to the bit.

And Trump is a troll!
He learnt from professional trolls/heels, Vince McMahon and his wrestlers.

And this is why my bluffs to nuke west are bluffs.

....And we laugh and smile because we're only waiting on them to bring us the sweet death and the eternal calmness in silence. When you're fresh, it's all adrenaline. But when you're exhausted, and when you have lost so many friends, you think of death as salvation....

The haters sound like 18 year olds, forget about them
