UK has to disenfranchise the terves or they’re going to get exactly what we’ve got here

Dear friends, I documented my return journey from the south to the north on my Instagram story.

I assume not you. Everyone else’s responsibility

If we let it, sure

As today is Hans Kelsen's birthday, a reminder:

"The elimination of war is our paramount problem. It is a problem of international policy, and the most important means of international policy is international law."

If nothing else, Macron has made the royalists relevant again, with Louis de Bourbon deciding to peer in from the outside saying that a monarch would be above and beyond petty presidential concerns and would unify the country under the notion of the common good. Ok.

My bet is on 2 weeks this time

The Irish enter the chat: it’s perfectly fine now!

Lecornu, currently holding the record for the shortest mandate of the Fifth Republic, announces he is ready to top it

I can’t exactly put into words, in ways that would be helpful to convey to a broader public, what it took and must have taken to survive those 2 years. That every single life still here needs to be cherished, for all those that will never return.

Adham, once a fit, healthy, and smiling young lawyer is a shell of himself, due to hunger and stress. I am overjoyed he is alive, however. Please remember that Gazans still wait on supplies to this day, and that support should continue until aid is finally allowed in. Hopefully with doctors.

The city looks like a skeleton crumbling onto itself. Talks of rebuilding Gaza, while necessary, fail to take into account that billions and billions are spend in rebuilding everytime Israel decides to level the Strip. They destroy, we rebuild. Ad nauseam. Normalised.

My friend and colleague Adham - who unfortunately is no longer on Bluesky - is telling me that return to Gaza is jarring. “there is no life left here, I swear”, he tells me, while photographing unexploded ordnance littering what’s left of Gaza City’s streets.

Agencies prepare to bring aid to starving people in Gaza as ceasefire appears to hold Unicef says ‘humanitarian crisis continues’ and expects to scale up aid deliveries on Sunday

Watching videos all afternoon of Palestinians marching back to Gaza City looking exhausted, hungry, and yet, filled with hope, joyful, knowing they’re returning to their land. Previous ceasefires have failed, but hope is all there is left www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

This is what the Department of Homeland Security is so terrified of.

Murphy sees two ropes: one, ringing a bell of creativity and interpretation. The other, of teenage outrage and extrapolation. He pulls on the latter without stopping until a studio agrees to finance.

Hunnam is the only reason I watched past the first episode. Not sure I will finish though

I agree. The reenactment scenes meant to illustrate Gein’s psychosis felt too gratuitous to be justified - crowds banging at windows etc could have been shown a different way. The Ilse Koch connection is tenuous but someone like Murphy couldn’t resist.

I remember being incensed early on at the “keep your head down and vote better in 4 years” crowd largely because it wasn’t clear there would be a vote in 4 years. I still do not understand - assuming he can be removed from office, this is generational damage a new admin won’t fix alone

On se rejoint en conférence zoom pour décider de l’endroit d’ici la fin de la semaine pro? Et puis on vote? Je propose st Pierre et Miquelon mais je suis ouverte à d’autres propositions

Non non on peut pas. L’exil par contre (sans accès internet) peut être une solution intermédiaire. Sinon on peut le balancer en soutien consulaire quelque part, mais loin. Et puis aucun passage Conseil Constit. On a perdu le sens et les valeurs de l’exile

Macron, who fancies himself a younger and shorter De Gaulle, continues to resemble Michael Scott refusing to announce the downsizing of Dunder Mifflin

Tu es bien trop gentil. Si on le laisse partir il va ouvrir une boîte de consulting politique et va devenir un speech writer pour la future carrière de Gabriel Attal. Tu veux avoir ça sur la conscience?

Je te parie un euro symbolique qu’il va se comparer à De Gaulle en 58 sans aucune ironie avant le weekend

Macron’s self-assuredness (read: arrogance) in his relentless attempts to politically stabilise the country (single handledly responsible for the mess) claiming that the new PM “won’t be from the left” (another right wing pawn) is refreshing (pathetic) on a domestic (international) scale

Macron: je vous offre le casual Friday mais vous allez arrêter de demander vos “droits” et vos “acquis” et vous allez bosser le weekend gratuitement pour que j’aie mon bonus de fin d’année

Sometimes I wonder if those people are even real. Then extremely real people are being snatched from the streets and I remember. But moments like those test our limits.
