The projected path of hurricane Melissa which is about to hit Jamaica. The thought that the island is going to be hit by a magnitude of 278 km/h winds is absolutely terrifying.

Miller is really bringing back those artistic standards so beloved by the Nazis.
Degenerate art (German: Entartete Kunst) was a term adopted in the 1920s by the Nazi Party in Germany to describe modern art. During the dictatorship of Adolf Hitler, German modernist art, including many works of internationally renowned artists, was removed from state-owned museums and banned in Nazi Germany on the grounds that such art was an "insult to German feeling", un-German, Freemasonic, Jewish, or Communist in nature. Those identified as degenerate artists were subjected to sanctions that included dismissal from teaching positions, being forbidden to exhibit or to sell their art, and in some cases being forbidden to produce art.

So, returning to the misleading headline below Merkel definitely does not BLAME Poland and the Baltic states for Putin's war. This is also a good example how the far right press can weaponises a simple interview to create friction between alliances.

With 147 countries recognising Palestine as a state why single out Australia and not just nuke the entire planet.

Admittedly, I would not shed a tear if Maduro gets toppled and eaten alive, but it's going to be interesting to see how the "INCALCULABLE PRICE" is going to play out especially with Putin involved.

This is getting very weird. The Trump account just posted an AI picture of Trump with a dog, which is definite proof that something is not right.
Trump account posts "Look at this dog. his name is Chip. Incredible animal. Smart, loyal, doesn't take crap from anyone. Some people are saying he's AI… I don't know, maybe he is, maybe he isn't — but he's a LOT smarter than most of the people running our country right now, that I can tell you. He sits, he stays, he protects. Beautiful coat. The fake news is already terrified. #TRUMP #Chip #GreatDog #AmericaWinningAgain

I wonder if Lavrov brought his Apple Watch and Iphone to the meeting, because nothing screams more USSR patriotism.

Trade deal today, gone tomorrow. Trump can change his position when ever he want should he feel that the EU not meet the $750bn worth of oil, gas, nuclear fuel and semi-conductors and invest $600bn in the US. Our perennial bowing to US demands will be our ultimate downfall.
Under the terms of the deal, Brussels will agree to buy, over three years, $750bn (£560bn) worth of oil, gas, nuclear fuel and semi-conductors, including liquified gas, while at the same time agreeing to invest $600bn (£446bn) in the US, a deal that includes purchases of military equipment. However, Trump retains the ability to increase the tariffs in the future if European countries do not live up to their investment commitments, a senior US administration official told reporters on Sunday evening.

Good to see the the WAPO still biting in between the lines.“I don’t think there are too many other factors, other than we’re going to get along great,” Trump said. U.S. importers will be paying the tariffs, whose costs are often passed along to consumers or businesses that buy the imported products.
Trump said he would impose a 15 percent duty on imports from the European Union, down from his latest threat of 30 percent. The White House did not immediately release specific details of the trade agreement, which are traditionally hundreds of pages long and take years to negotiate. “I don’t think there are too many other factors, other than we’re going to get along great,” Trump said. U.S. importers will be paying the tariffs, whose costs are often passed along to consumers or businesses that buy the imported products. Trump met with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen at Trump Turnberry, one of several golf courses that the president owns in Scotland.

Tell us something we don't know. This whole spiel between Trump and Putin of pretend diplomacy, halting arms, having talks, is just a mascarade to let Putin continue his slaughter feast. Absolutely pathetic.

@bsky.app just reached 37M users and it baffles me at no end why adoption has not increased exponentially. Here you have a transparent platform without a far right manipulated algorithm, AI harvesting and publicity, with great accounts to follow. Yet people still use X.

Rutte continues to be a total embarrassment. How far is he planing to crawl? Has he commended Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize yet?
He also, once again, praises Trump’s strikes in Iran. “I think he is a man of strength, but also a man of peace. You’ve seen that basically now with Iran, the man of strength being able to command his B-2 bombers to go to into Iran to take out that nuclear capability, but also the man of peace, who is then immediately following up with making sure that Israel and Iran will commit to a cease fire. And I think this is exactly what you want the American president to do, provides that type of leadership, and so I find him very predictable.”

Thank you for setting this up. I would also suggest you do the following: go to settings > moderation > interaction settings and select 'Nobody' in reply settings. In this way it's just clean reposts without the predictable abuse that follows in the comments.

@aljazeera.com doing a stellar job in reporting on Trump's latest pirouette and twirl.
Trump says no interest in ‘regime change’ after mixed messages The US president has said he does not want “regime change” in Iran, which he believes would trigger chaos. The comments, delivered to reporters on board Air Force One, appear to be at odds with a social media post he made just days earlier. “It’s not politically correct to use the term, ‘Regime Change,’ but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn’t there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!!” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday.
