interesting to think that revolutionary era americans understood themselves as making a break with the “old world” and establishing a new civilization. and crucially, this new civilization rested on republican self-government, not “sovereignty.”

The Rubio speech really is appalling, and if you haven’t read it yet, you should.

this continent long before. The man who settled and built the nation of my birth arrived on our shores carrying the memories and the traditions and the Christian faith of their ancestors as a sacred inheritance, an unbreakable link between the old world and the new. We are part of one civilization - Western civilization. We are bound to one another by the deepest bonds that nations could share, forged by centuries of shared history, Christian faith, culture, heritage, language, ancestry, and the sacrifices our forefathers made together for the common civilization to which we have fallen heir.

Dat eindeloze presidentje en winner takes all geleuter van politieke journalisten als het over ons kiesstelsel en coalitiesysteem gaat.

Al die politieke redacteuren zouden ontslagen moeten worden omdat ze geen reet van de Nederlandse staatsinrichting snappen en al jarenlang bullshit opschrijven.

Peter • @notalawyer.bsky.social • 2h a seafood aversion is also outrageous Larry Juana @dylpickles626.bsky.so... I know one person with a legitimate reason to have a seafood aversion (He was duct taped to a chair and force fed anchovies until he threw up as a child) but for everyone else it's fucking bogus. 6:22 PM • Feb 12, 2026

Tip: Luister de Kein Geloel-podcast van gisteravond. Een van de gasten komt er ín de podcast pas achter dat Sterling naar Feyenoord is gekomen. Zonde dat er geen beeld bij is.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.
Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate
US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.

One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie: “How will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when rich men are being perp walked in handcuffs to the jail. Until then, this is still a coverup.”

@mennopot.bsky.social klein nuance op mijn beantwoorde vragen (waarvoor dank! Nog maar 473 vragen en ik sta gelijk met Golan Efrati), die niet echt uit de vragen te halen viel: Het was meer uit nieuwsgierigheid over de korte contractduur van Mokio en en verbazing over dat Grim-statje dan ergernis.

Amazing coda here.
Melania is out now. The star rating for this film was corrected on 2 February 2026. A formatting issue led an earlier version to be awarded one star, when the reviewer’s intention was zero.

“Dat zo’n bloedhond niet welkom is bij rattenvanger Eerdmans, terwijl nota bene onze frisse, progressieve en aanstaande premier Rob Jetten breed glimlachend over hem zei: ‘Als er een nieuwe fractie bij komt die constructief wil samenwerken, biedt dat zeker kansen’...”
