"We are now living through the most destructive arms race in human history. Stopping Russia now is cheaper than wondering who will be the first to create a simple drone carrying a nuclear weapon."
Is this what living in the 1930s felt like as The Coming Storm began to spread and engulf the world?

Normally I give to charity organizations that help the fight against heart disease and dementia… however, I’m now cheering for both those ailments to accelerate the passing of a single orange-hued individual… Happy Holidays!!!

It doesn’t matter to me if people say “Merry Christmas,” “Happy Holidays,” or “Fuck Trump”—it’s the thought that counts.

Slot’s treatment of #salah is a sackable offence on its ow. a disgrace really. In any case, the Egyptian’s legacy at #LFC will shine brighter than that of the current manager. Dispirited performances, poor man management and a poor system all equal to getting rid of Slot now!

People in the #USA who hope frontline officers and NCOs are going to refuse to obey orders, are dreaming. The military is the ultimate peer pressure environment, conformity is drummed into everyone from the very start. It will take someone in high command to say no publicly. Not just resign.

This wildly tacky World Cup draw is a grimly fascinating preview of what happens if the aesthetics of fascism finally get their way.

FIFA is a joke. It is supposed to represent players and fans of the beautiful game, but it is corrupt organization run by a Trump sycophant. The World Cup should bring together the world in joy and celebration. Instead, FIFA is going out of its way to worship at the alter of authoritarianism.

#FIFA is doing all it can to turn the #WorldCup into a circus… starting with the clownish prize to #trump …I’ll still watch the matches but the ethical dilemma gets worse every time. Also, not sure how many people from #Canada watched the draw, but Gretzky is a total dunce. As uneducated as it gets.

#SCOTUS confirms it: democracy is dead in #america . the survival of freedom is only possible with the elimination of #maga and all #trump acolytes… a huge #USA version of denazification … the white supremacy movement must be extirpated from any part of society. Anything less and darkness wins.

Irish broadcaster explains its reason for pulling out of Eurovision over Israel's participation.
"It is unconscionable... given the appalling loss of lives in Gaza and the humanitarian crisis there.”
Good to see a broadcaster putting humanity ahead of dollars.

Have to add that the Belmont was the franco bar branché in #montreal along with the Passeport in the 80s. Alternative music of all genres, and some surprises like Dissidenten, Gypsy Kings and music from Jean-Pierre and Mitsou ... those were great days #80smusic youtu.be/do_6YzvWqF8?...

Newsom understands how to humiliate someone who absolutely hates being humiliated. And Dems need a whole lot more of this. Trump cannot stand when people highlight exactly who he is in a way he can’t spin or outrun. If you’re planning on running for president, this is the skill set you better master

On USA singer #Kariya’s 1988 debut single “Let Me Love You For Tonight” Reading Evening Post music critic #SimonLloyd wrote ‘a rare #House tune without that God-awful jangling piano bit- it’s housey yet frightfully contagious’- it was a Starck fave

#LFC seem like they are prisoners of a style they can’t fully implement… limiting their creativity… likely a coaching thing… not sure how long they can sustain that approach. Square pegs, etc

Or we could cut out the middleman and just heat homes?
Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

doesn't Florida have a 'stand your ground' kind of law ? surely it applies to helping a woman being dragged from her car by masked men ... the only appropriate response would be to apply justifiable force to have them stand down ... if they choose to escalate ... well, it will save a trial later !
Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:
