Yes and yet several European countries are embracing a far-right worldview that would burn these policies to the ground, so let’s be not be smug or complacent here - particularly as Mamdani‘s pro-immigration stance is radical by European standards.

UK has gone full frontal lobotomy on itself
Everyone gets their own article in The Telegraph, this week and any week, provided they're willing to hail the transformative benefits of leaving the ECHR, but deny the reality that parts of the UK think very little of the quality of British justice shorn of international oversight.

"You'll meet someone eventually" is well-meant but just not always true, it's down to luck. Some of us aren't going to meet the right person for us, we're destined to become a vaguely sinister slime that lurks in bogs to drag unsuspecting walkers to their doom in our gloopy depths and that's okay!

not only will our brains turn to oatmeal, but also the ability to interact with people. we'll end up talking to the waitress as if she is ai. cool.
Our vet uses an ai agent phone service and I just want to be free from this hell. I tried, man. Explained the reason. The AI interrupted me and asked a non useful question. So I asked to speak to a real person, it asked why I was calling again, and then it connected me so I could start all over.

NEW: The US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany told its soldiers and employees that it might need to obtain free food from the German government during the US government shutdown.
The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:

If you’re calling these animals a “sea flap flap,” your taxonomy is out of date and you really need to get with the times.
