I hope the lawsuits start raining in from everywhere, and not just against Meta.
Thanks. It gets worse:
“That’s the purpose of it, and they’ve done a good job of it. But now I’m president.”
This is who Trump is. Thinks he is. Strongman. But alas, he’s fighting windmills. And by fighting them, he makes those peaceful windmills fight back. Which then retroactively justifies his paranoia that the world is against him? Stop the sanewashing. This person belongs in an asylum.
Systematically
It’s the sort of long standing horror show that nobody is surprised by anymore. My continued disgust at what Israel is doing cannot go any higher, nor does it change anything. We all knew this has been the ultimate goal for a loooooong time, and we all knew it was going to happen much sooner the moment Trump got elected again.
While everyone is flabbergasted by Trumplon’s shenanigans, China decides it’s a good time to ramp it up.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP repeatedly claims that the European Union was “formed in order to screw the United States”.
I thought I was immune to the insanity, but I’m flabbergasted again. Did he really say that?
😙👌
It’s not a stretch.
Q-Anon evolved from joking/trolling/shitposting/whatever_its_called on 4chan, some disinformation narratives share common roots with early internet satire.
I realise that’s not exactly what you meant, but I’m sure you see the common thread.
I have to double take to make sure it’s The Onion and not real.
TBF that’s always been the deeper point of satire.
Oh My God! Prepare for a Tsunami of third-rate jokes by second-rate comedians!
I can vividly see before my mind’s eye a stand-up guy walking up and down the tiny stage, speaking into his mic: “BTW, have y’all heard that Hooters went bankrupt? [Insert punchline objectifying women]”
I can’t help myself, I’m glad that EU countries recognize the threat and arm themselves.
Have you noticed that most “Say No To War” people - then and now - claim to be “unpolitical”? In other words, follow a gut feeling instead of forming an informed opinion? That was me in the distant past. And I see people around me talk like that.
Yes, it feels nicer. But they open themselves wide to hybrid warfare disinformation tactics, unless they make the effort of informing themselves. Until then, please have the courage to say “I don’t have enough information to have an opinion about this topic”.
As for specifically Finland and specifically this treaty:
The move aligns Finland with Poland and the Baltic states, which also plan to leave the treaty.
This makes sense.
The EU should’ve listened to the Baltic states’ Russia policies decades ago.
I was thinking the same today: if the White House had fabricated an April Fool’s joke it would be unrecognizable - unless they developed a really black sense of humor and made a press release like “Trump tells SCOTUS to overturn immunity ruling”.
Incidentally, comedians all over the globe have been bitterly complaining about Trump stealing their show since 2016.
Here’s to hoping 🍻
This is just Trump. High on his own power, he thinks he can bully everyone around, even if they’re not under his power 🤷
I’m under no illusion that this is the start of a more critical stance towards Russia or will have any positive result for Ukraine. Or any positive result at all. Or result in anything at all.
I am kinda curious how the Kreml will respond though. So far they’ve been careful not to call the USA an ally afair.
I read a German article a few days ago. They definitely threatened to withhold wages. They also pressured workers into disclosing their health info. Via email.
The Unions are (orders of magnitude) more active against Tesla than against comparable employers.
Oh and of course Tesla does not like people being in unions in the first place.
It’s the same playbook, but in a different country that actually has worker protection.
Thanks! Unfortunately my system is not KDE so it would pull in too much.
