Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

The US partly owes its favourable position to reliability, shared values and alliances. In a world in which the US does not respect alliances, isn‘t reliable and no longer shares democratic values and human rights, repositioning follows.
Okay this is way bigger than the article below suggested.

Reminder that in the UK an incoming radical, populist government would have immediate access to immense, unchecked executive power.

Second, if Greenland is essential for the golden dome - so is Canada. Is this a precursor?

I have no doubt that under-16s will be banned from social media before the next election.
For all its many faults, It's a bad idea to ban things that you have simply failed to regulate or educate about properly.
But we will nonetheless.

It’s been pretty clear to me for several years that neither FPTP nor the entire system at Westminster are fit for purpose any more. We have one incompetent or sclerotic crew after another & the only people getting shit done are the lobbyists.

Not only is it what we've come to, it's what you voted for. What you used your platform to amplify and advocate for.
The good news is that you can always start to make amends and trying to right your wrongs. I doubt you're up for it, but I'd love for you to prove me wrong.
