Slovak opposition says Robert Fico’s trip was a “disgrace” to Slovakia.
Robert Fico’s recent trip to Moscow is backfiring.
The Slovak leader is facing the most serious threat to his rule since returning to office last October, with the entire opposition joining forces today to propose a no-confidence vote in his government.

I think Adam raises a terribly important point: time to stop lamenting the platform rules and fall back on the law. And enforce it. Brazil is able to force platforms to abide by its laws in its territory, so is the U.K. if it wants to. (And have a look at his examples. Shocking)

💰🏝️Hungary's Viktor Orbán vanished during the country’s ongoing "state of emergency due to the war in Ukraine"—only to be found vacationing at a 5-star Indian hotel with his family, uncovered by an opposition MP using Indian news reports and social media posts.
Orbán claims he himself pays the bill.

“There is sorrow enough in the natural way
From men and women to fill our day;
And when we are certain of sorrow in store,
Why do we always arrange for more?
Brothers and sisters, I bid you beware
Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.”
My condolences Alex.

If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

The Potential Backlash to Trump Unbound
A returning president who expects to govern without constraints leaves his opponents hoping to benefit from the blowback.
Blanket pardons for January 6 rioters poll poorly. They’re one of Donald Trump’s many proposed policies that run the risk of shrinking his coalition, Ronald Brownstein writes:

Il en va de même pour Skoda: les pubs sont commandées par la marque, et le nom est prononcé comme elle le demande. Le public suit.

Ce qui est amusant c’est de voir une autre marque -coréenne- faire des pubs en Angleterre pour que le public change sa façon de prononcer son nom. Amusant pour 2 raisons. 1) ce sont eux qui ont déterminé la transcription de leur nom. 2) parce que ce sont eux qui l’ont (mal) prononcé les premiers 1/2

Kemi Badenoch's Refusal to Distance Herself From Elon Musk is an Act of Moral Cowardice
The Conservative Party leader's refusal to criticise the X owner's dangerous misinformation campaign against the UK should exclude her from ever returning to high office
Exactly so. Musk's description of Jess Phillips as a "rape genocide apologist" sounds very like incitement.
One would expect any democratic political leader to unreservedly condemn these disgusting words.
Her silence tells us all we need to know about Ms Badenoch...
