I cannot tell you how absolutely infuriatingly this stuff comes across to Europeans.

When we say America is no longer a reliable ally, it goes considerably deeper than Donald Trump himself. This kind of complacent, condescending shit is a *huge* part of it.

Pour jauger du niveau du délire actuel aux USA, des agents ICE (qui arrête n'importe qui d'un peu "coloré") ont arrêté une femme policier en civil (car pas en service), et l'ont violemment empêchée de filmer la scène.

ICE targeted off-duty police officers in Twin Cities, local police say
The police chief of one Minneapolis suburb said all of the officers who had been stopped there by Immigration and Customs Enforcement were people of color.

Exceptionnellement, je prends ma casquette d'avocat spécialisé en droit du travail :
Cet arrêt est important puisqu'il instaure le fait que le néonazisme ne relève pas d'une opinion librement exprimable dans sa vie privée mais peut constituer 1 violation du code d'éthique et de respect interne.
Salut nazi & droit du travail : Licencier un salarié pour un salut nazi fait dans un stade de football est justifié.

Même si ce geste (sanctionné pénalement) a eu lieu hors du temps de travail.

Vue l’importance pour l'entreprise des « valeurs de respect des droits de l'homme ».

Fin 2025, Donald Trump déconseillait le paracétamol aux femmes enceintes, évoquant sans preuve des risques de malformations ou d’autisme pour leur enfant.

Cette affirmation n'est étayée par rien.
Les études les plus récentes (la dernière est du 16/01/2026) continuent de confirmer son innocuité

This is genuinely great.

(We throw around “love you!” a lot in our family and sign off all calls that way so I’ve definitely done this without thinking too.)

Ayyyy this is what a clearcut violation of ethical research principles looks like. I've taken more than the usual number of research ethics courses and every single one of them emphasized that you cannot ethically withhold a known beneficial treatment as part of your research - let alone using KIDS
this is just actually evil. an indictment on the entirety of the uk's medical ethics. i wish i could say on this website what these researchers deserve

you should go look up everyone who reviewed hogwarts legacy and said that it was okay to buy it

and you should absolutely block the fuck out of them

no, I don't care that some of them are well liked people who were nice to you once. fuck anyone who supports hogwarts legacy
It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

This documentary has just been broadcast in France, and I burst out laughing during this scene.

Trump's first reaction when he learns that a proposed ceasefire in Ukraine is accepted by Zelensky, last May, is to think that he will receive a Nobel Prize......................................... lol
Newly released footage by France, from May 10, 2025 shows Trump’s reaction after President Macron informed him President Zelensky accepted his proposed 30-day ceasefire.

Macron: “Zelensky accepted your proposal for a 30-day ceasefire.”
Trump: “Oh, good. Nobel Prize please!”

I’ve talked about this before, but I also trained in grummelot clowning and aside from being very good at moving your acting focus into your body not your thoughts, it really helps you understand how the intent of a vocal line can come through no matter what you say:
Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

It's so exhausting to to be constantly told by American leaders that the defining policy of the 80 odd years during which the US became the most wealthy and powerful country in the history of the world was a grossly unfair failure for them.
US trade secretary Howard Lutnick really not mincing his words here at Davos: "We are here to make a v clear point: globalisation has failed the West and the USA. It's a failed policy. It's what the WEF has stood for, which is, export, offshore, find the cheapest labour in the world."

I’ve been reading Trump’s "Board of Peace Charter," and despite the name, this isn’t a multilateral institution, it’s a centralised structure built entirely around the authority of one person (Trump).

People have to come to terms with the fact Trump confuses diplomacy for capitulation. He's posting this because he thinks it's a victory.
