Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Not yet much, but a start:

“Maybe the Nordics could develop a small nuclear weapon for their safety,” a reporter for the Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat ends his piece.

Danish newspaper of record: " #Denmark should initiate discussions w/ #Sweden, #Norway and #Finland, possibly #Iceland, for establishing a joint #nuclear weapons program."

Yes. We must discuss this *seriously*. A joint deterrence program makes so much sense.

If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

Kylmän sodan aikainen suomettuneisuus oli sentään edes kovaan todellisuuteen ankkuroitunutta politiikkaa, brutaalia inhorealismia.

Sen sijaan tämä nykyinen "yritetään tasapainoilla Trumpin kanssa, niin _ehkä_ saamme tukea Venäjää vastaan" on ihan silkkaa toiveajattelua.

We need a constitutional Nordic military union — yesterday.
Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter floats the idea of "joint Nordic nuclear weapons – perhaps together with Germany."

How the launch authority for that would work is a mystery.

One of the core purposes of right-wing media is to rewrite your memory and reprogram your moral response to an event you saw with your own eyes. George Floyd died of a heart attack. Jan 6 was a peaceful picnic. This process has already begun
THERE IS VIDEO

I really do not want to recommend to everyone a video of a person being shot but there is video from multiple angles

why not cut the crap and just publish "this paper supports random state murder, it makes us feel good, kill kill kill"? same exact meaning, less embarrassing
