Sánchez: “You may have heard that Spain is alone. They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed.

“We are not alone — we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.”

‘No to war’: Sánchez doubles down after Trump threat to cut off trade with Spain PM says his country will not be complicit in growing conflict in Middle East ‘simply out of fear of reprisals from someone’

i'm taking a brave stance that may get me canceled: there is no reason for the pervert glasses to exist

NANCY MACE: What is a woman? Have you learned that lesson?

WALZ: I'm the governor of Minnesota. I'm not here to be a prop for your obsession.

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.

btw this is why we have to keep saying "pervert glasses" until our facebook aunties start calling them that too

Hegseth: "Israel has clear missions as well for which we are grateful. Capable partners are good partners, unlike so many of our traditional allies who wring their hands and clutch their pearls, hemming and hawing about the use of force ... no stupid rules of engagement."

There are few real paths to citizenship in the Gulf states, which makes this especially knotty.

You can also be kicked out easily if you show signs of dissent, which is why the influencers are all posting about how well Dubai is handling this.

The entire UK diplomatic budget is about £1.4 billion a year. That’s pretty much precisely 0.1% of government spending.

BBC World Service is about £0.25 billion (it should be higher), or 0.02%.

These are rounding errors on rounding errors. Double each and public expenditure wouldn’t twitch.

Mad.

Exactly. This is not a lot of money. And once destroyed you don’t get to rebuild it.

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering

The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

I'm not sure I could ever forgive this government if it allows the BBC World Service to die

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz takes a shot at Vance at the MSC: “The battle of cultures of MAGA in the US is not ours.

“Freedom of speech here ends where the words spoken are directed against human dignity and our Basic Law.

Dude. We read the email. You were begging for an invite to the next “party.” You “cleared your calendar.”

The mendacity. I hope there are some folks posting the email on X.

I'm good thanks. I think I probably won't move to the country where the authorities pump out neo-Nazi memes and masked militias roam the streets.
