Just ja, din pappa var ju också tysk. Tänkte inte på det. Antar att det överskuggas av "kung av Sverige". 😅

Förstår det. Försökte lära mig franska och tyckte det var hopplöst. Vet inte om det var någon skillnad mellan 1700-talets franska och 1980-talets. De är ju lite språkligt reaktionära. Men du var väl tvungen att lära dig?

ja. tyvärr. Tydligen kan man skapa en "sky" som blir ett etablerat flöde man kan följa. Det finns en "booksky" till exempel. Jag frågade kvinnan som driver det hur hon gått till väga för att göra det, men då fanns det så klart ett företag inblandat som gör de där flödena. Vet inte vad det kostar.

Complete disregard for the environment? For a long time we were ahead of the lot of you. Then there are people stupid enough to vote for rightwing governments who couldn't care less.

Well... The (alleged) "far left libs" aren't inbred maga-moron neckbeards. So they clearly got that adventage.

A post about the Swedish king Gustav III and his prolonged murder.
He was shot on this day in 1792, and it would take him almost two weeks to die.
Limiting the rights of the nobility made him the target of a conspiracy.

I've felt rage since Vance and Kellogg spoke in Munich here in Europe last week, and with Trump's disgusting attack on president Zelenskyj, it has only got worse.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator.

He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

I unfortunately forgot #ShakespeareSunday this past Sunday.

But this past week a quote has been circulating in my head that describe our times perfectly:

'Hell is empty,
And all the devils are here'.

This is WILD.

In case you can't make it out, Musk's kid is saying "You're not the president and you need to go away."

I WONDER WHERE HE COULD HAVE GOTTEN THAT IDEA FROM.
