The image is an X post by @RealJakeBroe from 7 hours ago, featuring a two-panel comic. The top panel shows a scientist pointing to a chart with a general trend and an outlier, illustrating a rational argument. The bottom panel depicts a person labeled "ANTI VAX" pointing to a similar chart, labeling it "CONSPIRACY THEORY" with "Lies" and an outlier called "IRREFUTABLE PROOF!!!", satirizing irrational arguments. The caption reads, "It is difficult to win an argument with a smart person. It is impossible to win an argument with an idiot."
This captures much of the frustration of today.

Klart, en skal selvfølgelig ha samtykke - og om en part er ute av stand til å si "nei" er det selvfølgelig "nei."
Jeg klarer ikke å unngå tanken at det er noen snev av å snu bevisbyrden fordi det er så vanskelig å bevise overgrep.

"Konfrontert med at Nord-Korea er betegnet som et undertrykkende diktatur uten ytringsfrihet og demokrati, svarer Mulonda Rashidi følgende:
– Jeg mener at det du prater om der, er liberale verdier som USA forsøker å påføre andre land. Nord-Korea har andre verdier."

Man skulle ikke tro det var mulig, men partiet med det misvisende navnet "Fred og rettferdighet" har blitt enda mer motbydelig.

Det er lett å se slike saker og bli forvirret. Nå må vi alle besinne oss og huske på hva som er den EGENTLIGE trusselen mot ytringsfriheten, nemlig woke.

Ja, men det betyr ikke at alle detaljene er OK.
En del av dem går for langt.
Trump's ugly nonsense about the "genocide" of white farmers in South Africa suggests he's tapped into an internationalized version of white genocide theory that long festered on the far right and has now become mainstream.

Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink said she resigned because of the Trump administration’s policy of “putting pressure on the victim, Ukraine, rather than on the aggressor, Russia”

Da er det jo ingen grunn til at det skal være forbudt?
Spesielt viktig er det jo ikke, men noen har jo forbudt det tidligere.

Haley Britzky @halbritz AFRICOM commander Gen. Langley tells senators that China is "trying to replicate" USAID programs in Africa as the US scales back USAID. "They're trying to use that as an extension of the Belt and Road Initiative to gain favor by the African countries," Langley said.
Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen
It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world
It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

King penguins in the Australian territory of Heard Island in the Southern Ocean, which is on the Trump administration’s list of places facing punitive tariffs. The text reads, “Trump slapped tariffs on remote islands. One mainly home to penguins.” Photo by Matt Curnock for Getty Images.
President Trump announced far-reaching tariffs on most of the United States’ trading partners.
So far-reaching, in fact, that they include a remote Antarctic island group inhabited mainly by penguins — and a Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean known for its polar bears. wapo.st/4lfaitV
Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.
