Entrevue fascinante avec le Président finnois.

Opening with “we owe a moral debt to the country that made us possible” and then arguing against everything that made that country possible, is… quite rich.

I’ve never seen the actual population estimates comparing Pr(pdf) to Pr(pdf|Jan 6) but it seems like the latter is way higher? Like, this is crazy?

A lot of Orbán's American fans are saying that this election proved he was never an authoritarian in the first place.

This is completely wrong — and, in fact, betrays a complete misunderstanding of both Hungarian politics and modern authoritarianism.

Here's why.

How Trump Took the U.S. to War With Iran

If you had time for only one article to read this week, it should be this one.

Administrative burdens are political tools. Add administrative requirements or automate them depending on your goal.

Toutes mes félicitations!

It’s crazy that the vice president openly intervening in a foreign election for the candidate backed by Russia ranks a distant second in insane things happening today.

“The president is a well-known pathological liar, so it should not be newsworthy when he threatens genocide.”

The trend in Trump's approval ratings since he was elected has been relentlessly downward - now sub-38%. Trump is not immune from the laws of political gravity. Poll estimates via @gelliottmorris.com @fiftyplusone.news

Jeu d’échec en 12 dimensions…

Two map graphs show the state of liberal democracy according to the V-Dem Liberal Democracy index for 2025 and 2024. The higher the score (or darker blue), the more democratic the country. Lower scores (or dark red) mean less democratic. While North and South America, Western Europe and Oceania are mostly in the blue, most parts of Asia and Africa are in the red in 2025. In comparison to the map for 2024, the map graph for 2025 shows democratic backsliding in some traditionally stable democracies in Western Europe and North America, in particular the USA, United Kingdom and Italy.

Aucun journaliste québécois qui tient à sa dignité n’utiliserait volontairement le mot « palet » 😜

Il n’est pas formellement erroné, c’est seulement qu’il n’y a qu’en France qu’on utilise ce mot pour parler dune rondelle. Et les français ne sont pas exactement des experts en hockey.

Deux buts sur la même séquence pour Alexandre Texier? — HabsolumentFan Tous les détails ici !

Hier, j’ai lu un article de nouvelles sportives produit par un journaliste québécois. Il y utilise sans aucune espèce d’ironie le mot « palet ».

Voilà l’un des dangers de l’IA : normaliser l’inacceptable.

The election of Trump—both of them—will reduce the scope of every American’s future, as well as reducing the scope of who can be and will want to be an American

😂

there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).

the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.

Ma fille de 3 ans et des poussières aussi.

CNN: Approval for President Trump's East Wing ballroom project – from a government commission that oversees planning for federal buildings and land in the nation's capital – is delayed after it received over 32,000 comments from the public overwhelmingly opposing the construction.

If the government gets to decide if you have them, they're not human rights.

Zelenskyy's holding cards now.

😲 j’en veux un!!!!!

1/9. In 2020 Iran did try to interfere with the presidential election.

My god, les amateurs.

A long time ago, I used to know a lot about foreign-imposed regime change (FIRC) and study them.

I guess that makes me qualified to write a thread about them, especially in wake of Trump bombing Iran.

So here goes nothing. 🧵
