So despicable
(From the Guardian’s live feed)
A first screenshot of David Smith’s article titled “Trump turns briefing into rant against diversity policies” saying «Trump continued to turn what might have been a sombre briefing into a baseless rant against DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) despite no evidence of a link with the plane crash. The president was backed to the hilt by the transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, who said “we can only accept the best and the brightest” in positions affecting passenger safety, and the defence secretary, Pete Hegseth, who echoed: “The era of DEI is gone at the defence department and we need the best and brightest.” Then came the vice-president, JD Vance, who claimed “we want to hire the best people” who are “actually competent enough to do the job”.» A screenshot showing the rest of the article in the first screenshot, saying «Trump returned to the lectern to claim that “very powerful tests” for competence in air traffic control were “terminated” by Joe Biden. CNN’s Kaitlin Collins asked: “Aren’t you getting ahead of the investigation?” Trump replied: “No, I don’t think so at all ... I don’t think that’s a smart question. I’m surprised, coming from you.” Another reporter asked why Trump believes DEI is responsible. He said: “Because I have common sense and unfortunately a lot of people don’t. We want brilliant people doing this. This is a major chess game at the highest level.”»

A comic by XKCD showing a scientist standing on a chair holding a handgun pointed towards a petri dish on a desk, a microscope is also on the desk. Above the drawing it says: When you see a claim that a common drug or vitamin "kills cancer cells in a petri dish", keep in mind:, and below it says: so does a handgun.

Non è proprio come dite voi, amici di Repubblica… forse ogni tanto sarebbe meglio controllare 🤷🏻‍♀️
La schermata di un post su Facebook di Repubblica che linka un articolo: “In Finlandia esiste un termine che descrive quel momento di pura gioia in cui si è a casa, in relax, in pigiama e senza alcuna intenzione di uscire: la parola è ‘Kalsarikännit’” La schermata di una pagina del sito finland.fi, in inglese. Tradotto dice che kalsarikännit significa “Quella sensazione quando stai per ubriacarti a casa da sola/solo, in mutande - senza alcuna intenzione di uscire. Un bicchiere. A casa. In mutande. E c’è una parola per dirlo: Kalsarikännit.”

I really really can't...
A sceenshot of my post on Facebook saying: I just can't... «Trump: We need Greenland for national security purposes. [...] People really don't even know if Denmark has any legal right to [Greenland]. But if they do, they should give it up because we need it for national security. That's for the free world, I'm talking about protecting the free world. You look at... you don't even need binoculars, you look outside you have China... ships all over the place, you have Russian ships all over the place, we're not letting that happen, we're not letting it happen. And if Denmark wants to get to a conclusion, but nobody knows if they even have any right, title or interest. The people are gonna probably vote for indipendence or to come into the United States, but if they did, if they did do that then I would tear off [?] Denmark at a very high level. and Trump: I can't assure you, you're talking about the Panama and Greenland, no, I can't assure you on either of those two [that I will not use military force] but I can say this: we need them for economic security. The Panama canal was built for our military. I am not gonna commit to that, no, it might be that you have to do something... Look, the Panama canal is vital to our country. It's been operated by China. China! And we gave the Panama canal to Panama, we didn't give it to China. And they've abused it, they've abused that gift. It should have never been made, by the way. Giving the Panama canal is why Jimmy Carter lost the election in my opinion, more so maybe than the hostages.»

Le belle storie di Natale
Lo screenshot di una pagina del sito del Museo Toscanini con una fotografia di Puccini e Toscanini seduti al tavolino di un bar e il testo: L’11 gennaio 1919 va in scena la prima rappresentazione italiana de “Il Trittico”; in sala è presente Arturo Toscanini che però lascia la poltrona prima della fine dello spettacolo trovando la composizione scadente sia sotto il profilo narrativo che musicale; mentre sta uscendo incrocia Puccini ma non lo saluta. Si tratta dell’ennesimo scontro tra i due. A dicembre Puccini dimentica di togliere Toscanini dalla lista delle persone a cui spedire una strenna natalizia; se ne rende conto troppo tardi e manda un telegramma: “Panettone spedito per errore – Puccini”; questa la risposta di Toscanini: “Panettone mangiato per errore – Toscanini”.

THIS.
This, always.
The image of a Tumblr post by "serialephemera" saying: Thematically speaking, the most important thing Terry Pratchett taught me was the concept of militant decency. The idea that you can look at the world and its flaws and its injustices and its cruelties and get deeply, intensely angry, and that you can turn that into energy for doing the right thing and making the world a better place. He taught me that the anger itself is not the part I should be fighting. Nobody in my life ever said that before.

Dipende sempre dai punti di vista
Everything depends on your point of view

Comic by @lizclimo.bsky.social
A comic in two panels: in the top one there is a gray cat who's looking into a red decorated Christmas paper bag and asks to a white-and-brown dog on the other side of the bag "this bag is empty. did you just get me an empty bag?" and the dog answers "yes". In the bottom panel the cat is inside the bag with only the top of the head visible and says to the dog "I love it so much"
