However low your expectations are of VdL, she never fails to disappoint. A disaster for the EU, on every level.

I thought the clip was a deep fake...
I genuinely can't tell if Trump was so obsequious to Zohran Mamdani today because Mamdani has the love of New Yorkers that Trump has been desperate for all his life, or if he's senile and genuinely doesn't remember who Mamdani is or what he's said about him.

If the ECHR is permitted to do this then we are officially worse than the USA in terms of human rights. This is ICE level fasho behaviour.
Fixed it for you. Idiots! If the exclusion is based on appearance then it will certainly impact cis folks as well as trans folks.

If only there were some way, mathematically, to defeat 33% of the population. Alas, it is impossible, and Labour have no choice but to acquiesce to their every demand and nevertheless accept their humiliating defeat as a fait accompli.
The far-right don’t need Labour to validate them.
If you think 33% or more of the population’s concerns about irregular immigration are irrelevant then you might think again. By focusing relentlessly on the negative we will reap the reward of a Farage government. And that would be 💩. For everyone.

This was the plan all along and why people like Thiel have inserted their cronies into key positions in the govt. They HATE the FDA and have for many years because they want to make drugs (mostly longevity ones) that don’t have to go through serious vetting. Here is the inevitable outcome:
FDA is approving a new form of nalmefene for “prophylaxis” for “opioid exposure,” specifically citing fentanyl.
“Fentanyl exposure” is not a thing. Fent has to be intentionally ingested to cause OD.
It’s being made by a “blockchain-focused digital finance company” whose “biotech arm” is only this…

Goedeavond from Utrecht, who today @eiturbanmobility.eu named the most bicycle-friendly city in the world:
“What sets Utrecht apart is that it has understood something paramount long before most others, that the goal is no longer to make space for cycling, but to construct the city around cycling.”

Every single day that our politicians and pundits spend explaining to us why we need to lowe exoectations, be "sensible" about what progress can be made and how immature it is to expect the state to intervene directly, the Chinese government adds another Gigawatt of solar capacity. Every single day.
Every time these tech companies are talking about bringing back nuclear, most of those plants are 800MW and they take over a decade to plan and build. China is adding that capacity with solar every single day. And it's not just in China, they're exporting these panels globally.

Bollards & one-way systems stop through traffic. Play signs tell drivers kids are in the street. Paving, build-outs & planting slow cars. People add benches, hang out, share drinks. The street becomes an extension of home - a social space, not a shortcut. This is what neighbourhoods should feel like
