Gabrielius Landsbergis = @ @GLa...โ€ข2h X
There is a glaringly obvious message for Europe in 1 the 28 point plan: This is the end of the end.
We have been told repeatedly and unambiguously that Ukraine's security, and therefore Europe's security, will be Europe's responsibility. And now it is. Entirely.
If you are a European leader asking your team to book you on the next flight to Washington to go talk to Daddy, please don't.
Not without a plan, not cap in hand, not humiliating us all in front of the cameras at the Oval office.
Europe is our continent, our future is decided here, not there. We aren't poor, we have options, we can finally decide to assist Ukraine to the full extent of our very extensive capabilities, restore European dignity and defend Europe.
Or we can continue to wait for the miracle we now know is not coming.

Capitalism is incredible. Sorry, former teacher, your retirement fund is gone because 5 guys who've collectively never worked a full hour told the banks to put all the money in the country into virtual girlfriend futures

The line โ€œvote for us or youโ€™ll get the far rightโ€ doesnโ€™t really work when the policies youโ€™re enacting are barely distinguishable from what the far right propose.

In 1582, a papal bull introduced the Gregorian calendar, still used today by most of the world. Because itโ€™s 11 days ahead of the Julian calendar, countries introducing it simply skipped a third of October, and if you scroll back far enough in the iPhone calendar app you can see it change

She was always THE woman. Looking right at you from 1590: Infanta Catalina Micaela (almost surely), painted by Sofonisba Anguissola (probably). Surely one of the greatest renaissance portraits.

Putting aside how repellant Trisha is for being entertained by his antics to date, it is a massive problem that entertainment is the measure at all.

Illegal migration isn't tearing this country apart, but our obsession with it is. It's an obsession fuelled by our media and politicians. Both profit from blowing the problem out of all proportion. It's been happening for decades, but never more so than now

Itโ€™s a sure sign that halo/reverse halo syndrome is still depressingly alive that I feel I should caveat that obviously she is still a piece of shit.
