Det är lite kul att se hur det skaver i den svenska folksjälen att halloween är en högtid som inte går ut på att åka till landet med familjen och äta sill

A pirate goes to the ship’s surgeon to have spots on his arm checked.
The surgeon says, "They're benign".
The pirate replies, "No, no doc. There be 11. I counted them before I came here."

Happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

The whole family has seen it now, we even have the soundtrack!

I usually manage to put off buying clothes, but everything's worn out at once ☹️

Äntligen tittade jag på Kpop Demon Hunters igår. Jätteroligt!

Idag behöver jag handla kläder men jag hoppas att spela lite BAR också.

If you keep telling people whose concerns aren't valid that they have valid concerns, then they will believe they have valid concerns.

You can't go through life - or politics - without sometimes just straight up telling people they're wrong.

You can be nice about it. But you still have to do it.

It's absolutely peak Britain that the crown jewel of a new EU agreement is us getting access to better queues.

US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine won't sign minerals deal, sources tell Reuters The U.S. first raised the prospect of shutting off Starlink service after Zelensky rejected the deal presented on Feb. 12. Starlink terminals are critical in securing Ukraine's battlefield communicati...

Starlink should be banned from European markets on national security grounds.

Anything requiring Starlink should be shut out of the European market, and sanctions should be considered against all relevant actors.

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

Breton aims for ‘huge’ €100B defense fund The EU’s internal market chief also insisted the bloc will meet its target of producing a million artillery shells by the spring.

Detta förslag kom för mer än ett år sedan. Stödet från EU:s medlemsländer var för svagt med nej från bland andra Sverige. Frågan är nu död. Kraftfulla uttalanden till stöd för Ukraina och för europeisk upprustning är jättebra. Men det är handling som räknas.

🇦🇹🇫🇮🇸🇪 30 years since Austria, Finland and Sweden joined the EU.

Thanks to them, on 1 January 1995, our Union changed for the better. Together, we became a greater political, economic and cultural community.

And Europe has made them stronger.

Happy 30 years in the 🇪🇺 family!

This is what happens when you pander to anti-immigration sentiments, rather than confronting them. Starmer's continued claim that the UK has "Open Borders" is false in absolutely every way. What it inevitably does though is embolden the far-right and risk more violence against migrants. #r4today

Why does People Magazine name a new "Sexiest Man Alive" every year? It doesn't make any sense to name a new one if the old one is still alive. The new one should have to fight the old one to the death. Like Highlander.

This is really useful! Too many people and topics to follow in one huge stream, so I've not really been using starter packs, but this opens up a good way to experience them.
