Less than 2 months ago EU leaders were insisting on strategic independence from an increasingly aggressive US demanding territorial expansion in Greenland. Now, they're tripping over their heels to join that US in an illegal war of aggression and regime change. What weak cowards with short memories.

The attitudes I'm seeing from Bahrainis online are fascinating, a lot of accounts of people just openly cheering and celebrating Iranian attacks and in turn a lot of reports of Bahraini state repression. People who talk about "listening to local voices" should probably contend with this too.

imagine if Europe was capable of condemning the US and Israel too

Nope. We don't have to do this. The courageous act would be to refuse. Jingoist slop like this is an enormous factor in why the US has been terrorizing the world for decades. There are no heroes bombing Iran.

A photo taken from my POV of our tabby cat, Pascal. He is sitting across my lap looking up at the camera/me. I’m wearing a black hoodie and you can clearly see a lot of his hair on it

It’s shedding season for baby

Right, totally fair. And kind of a relief to hear lol

Is that place… ok? I walk past it all the time and assumed the politics would be kinda awful lol

after a bit of discomfort due to the USA threatening to invade them, Europe and Canada are back to fully supporting the USA in any war, standing behind them like barking seals

Israeli media reporting that the US and Israel have divided up the Iran attack thus: the US is targeting infrastructure, Israel is focussed on taking out Iran's leadership

It should go without saying that the aim here is to collapse Iran - a country of ninety million people - into ungovernable chaos and Mad Max-style warlord catastrophe, much as they have every other country from Libya to Afghanistan that they could not buy off.

God willing, both Trump and Bibi will die in prison.

if you dont have nukes and give us everything we want in negotiation, we might still kill you as late night television entertainment for the demented emperor

This lad really thinks he’s a cool, alpha, dominant man who fucks like a machine, meanwhile all the women are laughing at him

Oh my god this Chris fella is hysterical. I’ve never seen a more confident 5’ 7” man on this show, maybe anywhere

Ohhhhh I was sort of planning to re-read all of Tolkien soon. This might be the push

Holds up

Biden is calling up Dems and describing a pudding, possibly from 1955, asking where a certain suitcase is in his house, describing a new plan for up and coming Dems called “pudding suitcase”

Always very funny when Green parties across the west with wildly different politics pretend to be pals. The Irish greens (tories on bikes, coalition mudguards to two right wing governments in the last 15 years) are congratulating them too

Ahaha, not just beaten but absolutely smashed. Wonder how many people met Starmer personally and went “ugh no, not voting for these shits” bsky.app/profile/nata...

I see it’s been a bad evening for the worst dickheads on Earth. Lovely.

I do it all the time, my hatred of Grafton St buskers knows no bounds. I’d ban them entirely if I was on the council.

This is baffling to me, this is like arguing whether 2+2 = 4. “There’s no right or wrong way to load a dishwasher” uh yeah there absolutely is?

Hahaha Ashley (Alex’s fiancé)’s dad was a divorce lawyer for 41 years and basically says “he’s very polished but seems like a total liar and sociopath” “my daughter has bad taste in men”

If you bump your head, does it ring like a bell?

Jesus remembering Nizlopi exists is like an ice cube down the back of the shirt

New Mitski album Friday???? Truly I am out of the loop

Can everyone liking or sharing this pukey piece please remember that a lot of people have a very different experience with passport officers

Same and same

Tremendous piece on a subject most Irish people never even give a thought to, but has huge impact on so many immigrants’ lives. Please read and share #speirghorm

We’ve switched to Qobuz, apparently it gives the most revenue to artists per stream and you can connect to last fm for scrobbling although I have noticed the scrobbling isn’t 100%, it drops the odd song sometimes. But it’s like 98% good, I’m happy with it

Mandelson's first career-ending scandal happened when I was doing my first year of A-levels. I'm 45.
