Trump's own Press Secretary all but calling him a liar: "then President Trump comes out with an announcement and those things are not always true"

Here, Trump net favorability is down from late-2023/2024 peaks among Hispanic and Black respondents, but still higher than it had been previously. Not down among white voters at all.

La derecha española se rinde en halagos a Aliança Catalana: "Al final Sílvia Orriols va a salvar España" Políticos y opinadores alineados con Vox y el PP ven a la alcaldesa ultra de Ripoll como posible aliada, tras constatar que Aliança se centra más en el frente antimigración que en el independentista

No wonder that the Spanish right, despite its vehemently disagreement with the Catalan Alliance over the issue of independence, is rejoicing. The founder of Vox went as far as saying that Aliança Catalana leader Sylvia Orriols is the “lady who is going to save us."

Aliança Catalana alcanzaría a Junts y aspira a ser tercera fuerza en Catalunya, según el barómetro del CEO La formación de Sílvia Orriols atraparía a la de Carles Puigdemont, ambas con 19-20 escaños, de acuerdo con la encuesta de la Generalitat de Catalunya realizada entre octubre y noviembre

With the great mobilization for Catalan independence in the rearview mirror, the electorate of the independentista right has turned to xenophobia instead. The Aliança Catalana has soared, robbing Junts of half its vote. Junts now all the less likely to allow the Sánchez govt to pass anything at all

"Do you ever use" is not "Have you ever used", but yeah it could still mean they use it rarely

Well, I get a short list. An Aardman-produced animated Christmas comedy; a 1984 North Korean historical drama; and an action movie with Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman and Salma Hayek

Ahhah I remember that site 😀

Oh sorry, het staat in je post, las ik overheen.

Die is ook mooi. Mijn zus vindt het leuk om van die oud-nederlandsche frases en gezegdes tegen mijn neefjes te gebruiken, die haar dan aankijken alsof ze hun totaal in de maling aan het nemen is. Alleen klinken ze mij helemaal niet oud-nederlandsch in de oren, gewoon uit onze jeugd

Dit is wel erg leuk, waar is dit uit?

"Daar kun je (de) donder opzeggen" en "Dat ra/haal je de koekoek," die herinner ik me nog wel van vroeger. Zegt iemand dat nog ooit?

Goed gebruld leeuw!

Nordic countries paying most for Ukraine ‘not sustainable,’ Swedish foreign minister says The EU must seize Russia’s frozen assets, Maria Malmer Stenergard believes, because any other solution would be unfair to Ukraine’s biggest backers.

"Denmark, for example, has contributed over €10 billion to Ukraine since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, equal to nearly 3 percent of its gross domestic product. Spain, on the other hand, has given €1.48 billion, or less than 0.2 percent of its GDP"

Really don't think people need bribes to "lead a middle class life" when they're pulling in 101,000.

Very true, but it's a good thing to call people out when they do that

Sounds more like a good reason to tax bankers more than like an argument that "we should get obscene amounts of pay too"

The problem here is that the guide helps Wikipedia editors to spot AI language by identifying "turns of phrase that are rare on Wikipedia but common on the internet at large (and thus, common in the model’s training data)". Which doesn't help you very much at all on, well, "the internet at large".

The chair of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions is Bill Cassidy, so the new Trumpist CDC is actively portraying a Republican Senator as an enemy in that second screenshot

"Every media era gets the fabulists it deserves." Even established news media have likely already published reams of AI-generated content which convincingly mimicks what actual stories and quotes would sound like, and takes advantage of a degraded media environment "uniquely susceptible to fraud".

"I idly googled the authors of a few of the pitches that looked most blatantly written by AI. I saw their bylines across the internet—a web of lies and uncanny half-truths entrenched so deeply in the information ecosystem that no one could possibly have the energy to dislodge them"

(The people of that same generation who keep waxing lyrically about how Boomers had it easy growing up in the picket-fence houses of 1950s commercials might be surprised at how small most people's dwellings actually were...)

They Rushed to Buy Homes During the Pandemic. Now, Some Feel Trapped.

Americans/people nowadays be crazy. Complaining about being "stuck" in "starter" houses that "feel a lot smaller than they used to," and what they're talking about is a 3-bedroom house for a couple with 2 kids, or a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom house for a couple with a toddler and a baby on the way

Only 10 of the top 50 LD target seats are Labour-held? Huh, I stand corrected!

Under the current electoral system that could only stand even a small chance if Greens and LibDems made some kind of electoral pact — which seems like a tall order when their demographic/geographic strengths overlap as much as they do

John Fetterman’s Memoir Is Unlike Any Politician’s Book You’ve Read

Fetterman: dark, but not deep

"The voice in this book is brooding but not particularly thoughtful... Anyone who has experienced depression will probably recognize the overgeneralization, the binary thinking, the closed loop of self-pity."

Depends a lot on where you live, I imagine

Yep. For months running now, they've done the best they possibly could to prove the point
