Raskin: "The dictators of the world have got nothing to fear from this hearing. Republicans called it to attack our democratic allies in Europe. The star witness is not a human rights leader like Navalny, but a far-right pro-Putin politician who leads the UK Reform Party."

Putin made Trump wait almost two hours. Their phone call was supposed to have taken place already, but Putin was still at a conference. When Putin is reminded of the meeting, everyone starts laughing; they're literally mocking Trump.

Yesterday, the Baron of Siberia posted my investigation into Tortoise on Twitter. I responded saying the Guardian is cancelling my contract after 19 years, so I'd be happy to go to the Indie to carry on investigating Evgeny's dad, the ex-KGB spy. This was a joke!

However, here are some facts..

I've seen and heard on podcasts a lot of analysis of Israel's plans in regards to Gaza, in regards to Syria. Some were more conspiratorial than others, but all shared what I consider the same mistake: Assuming there IS a plan.

I don't think that's true, and I don't think it has been true.

In 2022 I made a skit where Scrooge gets cancelled, which hit the sweet spot of being extremely high effort and really quite unpopular. So here it is again: Christmas in Wankertown. (Some swearing in this one.) youtu.be/sgAlciVQAA4

Huge aerial assault on #Ukraine overnight. It shows (again) 2 things: 1. Ukraine has developed a superb air, missile and drone defence capability we should learn from; and 2. Putin has zero interest in any peace short of full Ukrainian capitulation.
⚡️Ukrainian Air Defence shot down:

🚀 81/94 missiles;
🦅 185/193 UAVs, including 105 UAVs were lost due to EW;

I'm interested but not surprised that Policy Exchange doesn't see their own role in this. But I think it is significant;

Every study that transphobes throw around just tests cis men vs cis women and makes the insane assertion that trans women and cis men are the same, which they trivially are not. Then when you studies on actual trans people you get different results. Shocker

Archimedes' principle of leverage, by the way, is 'give me a lever long enough, and a fulcrum upon which to place it, and I shall move the world'. Useful when changing tyres, and when changing minds.
