Twitter aka X has become unusable in recent days. The entire algorithm is pushing far-right extremists into the feeds, people fetishising mob law, glorifying nazi propaganda, and a level of hate that's unprecedented.
I'm truly glad there are alternatives out there, including Threads and Bluesky.

Some countries that I hope adopt the € within the next 10 years:

🇵🇱 Poland

I was today years old when I learned that only a few pre-Indo-European languages are still alive today: several Caucasian languages... and Basque.

The entire planet - and Iranians in particular - would profit from a regime change in Iran.

Today is the day where it's okay to check your old abandoned X account. Elon Musk and Trump Trump are fighting publicly. So much that Tesla shares are in free fall. 🍿🍿🍿

Impressive.
You can now screen embryos for >900 diseases and traits including cancer, heart disease, and alzheimer’s, before they’re even born.
Makes me wonder about legal consequences if you purposefully choose a new human life to have a disease or short life span.

I was today years old when I learned that the Jesus resurrection story is nowhere to be found in the original scripts? It's just people some centuries later making it up??
And most gospels agreed he just died?
Christian mythology is so fascinating, yet so confusing.

I studied politics, I work in politics, I'm an EU citizen who regularly frequents Poland...
At what point am I allowed to comment on Polish politics? 😂

What a disappointing day for Poland.

Complete aura loss that Carinthia (a state in Austria) is called "Kärnten" in German.

I just learned today that WITHIN the European Union, we have a monks’ republic (Mt Athos in Greece) where women are not allowed?? How is this legal???

Liebe Mitmenschen mit Politikerfahrung:
War es in der Vergangenheit schon so üblich, vom "Vizekanzler" zu reden? #Regierungserklärung

Our civilisation is so close to the perfect artificially printed steak, and there are people out there who say "I only like meat if pain is involved".
Insane.

310 Yes votes, 307 No votes:
Friedrich Merz is the first leader of a parliamentary majority who didn’t become Chancellor after failing to reach the necessary majority of 316 votes today.
Unexpected. Worrying.

Seems like today will be a heavy blow to the Liberals in Australia. Or am I missing something?

Back in school I used to learn different countries deal with the risk of the downfall of democracy in different ways, and the USA use their checks and balances to have the Supreme Court stop the US president if necessary.

Turns out the US president can just ignore courts now?
