Now we begin the familiar ritual where 95% of the Republicans in Congress claim they are completely unaware of Trump’s deranged letter to the PM of Norway so they are unable to comment on it.

Trump's fixation on the Nobel Peace Prize has nothing to do with peace. Yet again it's emotional and ego-driven. Trump can't handle the fact that Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize while he has failed to win it. It makes him a loser to Obama and his fragile ego is in a tailspin as a result.

I'm two decades into my career, and exactly one (1) time in all those years I've been halfway through getting ready for work on Monday morning only to realize it was Sunday.
Yet at some point every Monday morning since then I always, with a mad rush of optimism, check to make sure it's not Sunday

Just eighteen months ago, we were looking at the prospect of this year’s Scottish elections with dread and trepidation. Labour was in the ascendant on the back of its victory in the July 2024…

I wonder how much of the media coverage frenzy will attempt to portray the SNP as the culprits rather than the victims of the alleged crime? (101% I suspect)
NEW: Peter Murrell, the ex-SNP chief executive, faces a preliminary hearing at the High Court in Glasgow next month.
Murrell, who is separated from Nicola Sturgeon, is charged with one count of embezzlement.

2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.

Trump has shown a mad obsession with suing everyone he can for anything he can think of or make up. If he's innocent, why is he named as a rapist in the Epstein files and why hasn't he sued anyone for calling him a pedophile?

Reading another psychology/human behavior book talking about the Milgram experiment and thought about what might happen now if universities were still allowed to conduct those studies and then realized that is effectively exactly what social media does. It's one big Milgram experiment.

I seem to remember Nigel Farage was prepared to ‘pick up a rifle’ if Brexit wasn’t delivered.
I wonder if he’ll be so keen to do the same if ‘the bravest man I know’ starts World War Three.

MLK's assassination (along with many other leaders of the civil rights movement) definitely warped our minds to make us think there was a lot more distance between what they fought for and what's happening today
