Does Scott Bessent always come across this nervous?

JD Vance seems to be getting dangerously close to unironically asking - is the pope a Catholic?

Looking forward to future discourses from him on the expected location for bear defection.

🇮🇹❗️🇺🇸 Meloni: "I consider President Trump's words to the Holy Father unacceptable. The Pope is the head of the Catholic Church, and it is quite right and normal that he calls for peace and condemns all forms of war."

Orban is not conceding because he's honourable. He's conceding because his defeat is so comprehensive even he can't pretend he won.

Not been a great week for JD Vance all in all has it?

Vladimir Putin! JD Vance! Viktor Lukashenko! Alternative für Deutschland! Donald Trump! Nigel Farage! Viktor Orban - can you hear me, Viktor Orban! Your boys took one hell of a beating! Your boys took one hell of a beating!

Bye bye Fidesz!! 👋

I’m feeling so anxious for Hungary today - I have everything crossed that they finally get rid of Orban today! Sending may positive vibes from the UK 🤞

Hajrá Magyarország! 🇭🇺

Péter Magyar casts his vote in Hungary today.

Get Viktor Orbán outta there!

Go Magyar!

The Dream Team failed. Total shock. We sent two of our most mediocre real estate developers and a fraud. Who could’ve guessed this outcome?

SPLASHDOWN!!!

Three cheers for science, engineering, research, curiosity, cooperation.

Look what the fuck we can do when we ask big questions, work together, and fund our scientists.

Congratulations, NASA. Congratulations, humanity!

Yeah it was a tough watch - what I couldn’t believe was the hoards of young teenagers running up to them in the street hero worshiping them. A very worrying trend.

Well let’s revisit this next week and see what happens…

As long as they’re not Orban and not pro-Putin then they can only be a good thing for Hungary as far as I’m concerned.

Agreed!

Me too - I’ve got a friend in Budapest who seems pretty hopeful. Time will tell! 🤞

I love this for both of them 🇭🇺

What a juxtaposition…

The best of America (and Canada to be fair!) and the very, very worst of it. 🇺🇸

Good. 👏

❗️Russian milbloggers are getting increasingly worried. They warn Ukrainian drone capabilities are rapidly advancing, striking logistics 40-80 km deep and scaling mass production, creating sustained pressure on rear areas and supply lines. #Russia

Walked up what felt like a pretty big hill today called Mt. Kintoki - only to find a view of a much, much bigger hill when we got to the top!

Hello Mr Fuji! 🇯🇵 (for context Fuji is 18 miles
from where this photo was taken!)

I was going the opposite direction yesterday Kyoto to Odawara but on the Shin Osaka - Tokyo Shinkansen!

Have a great trip 👍

Starmer needs to cancel the King’s trip to the USA.

The king doesn’t want to be there, Brits don’t want him to go, we will receive no benefit from him going & it will only go to stroke the ego of the single worst person to ever hold the office of PotUS.

Cancel it now Sir Kier! For all our sakes.

I haven’t heard her speak for ages, why does she sound like she’s having a panic attack?

Hmmm. I wonder if they’ve tried that one before??

I didn’t know Dawkins was local!

Just checked out Map Men - it looks really good! The one my boy’s into is Jacksucksatgeography , he’s great!

Having watched the Louis Theroux “manosphere” doc it makes me very happy that my boy’s favourite YouTuber is a fairly nerdy guy who does geography quizzes.

There absolutely are positive male role models online, but the fact that the monsters that louis met are so famous is very depressing to me.

Photo of Ed giving his conference speech. Below is the headline: UK must build own nuclear missiles, say Lib Dems - from BBC News

Britain’s nuclear deterrent must be genuinely ours – not dependent on Trump or whoever his successor may be. Trump has proven we can’t rely on America as a dependable ally.

We have the best scientists, engineers, and builders. So let’s build our own independent nuclear deterrent. Made in Britain.

Where will we be able to access your random musings now Jim??
