Best of luck 🤞🏻

Reckon it's because you were still short of your goal. The last 690 steps would have done it for sure.

Happy anniversary! 😊

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

...that's a matter of opinion on which we'll have to respectfully disagree

100% this. She was the only aspect of the show that made it worth watching.

Gina Raimondo on How European Industry Is Getting Crushed

This interview with Gina Raimondo about Europe comes off as incredibly patronizing towards Europe, and minimizing of what we’ve done to them. These Biden Democrats really are not as different from Trump as they think they are. open.spotify.com/episode/1WU0...

Searched her name whilst listening to the episode, looking for precisely this sort of discussion.

"You're cosying up with China because you're mad with how Trump is behaving. [...] Ok, you can be self-destructive because it saves face, but that's a bad idea." 🫠

Dann kommst du bei der Verhältnismäßigkeitsprüfung einfach zu einem anderen Ergebnis als ich 🤷🏻‍♂️ Agree to disagree 🤝

Congratulations, that's huge!

Das Ergebnis der Verhältnismäßigkeitsprüfung kann man sicher anders sehen. Meines Erachtens ist der Eingriff außerhalb des Spannungs-/Verteidigungsfalls nicht verhältnismäßig.

Richtig. Die Personenverkehrsfreiheit kann gem. Art. 45 Abs. 3 AEUV eingeschränkt werden. Allerdings gilt hier weiterhin die Schranken-Schranke der Verhältnismäßigkeit. Daher schrieb ich von einer "unverhältnismäßigen" Einschränkung 😉

Massive und unverhältnismäßige Einschränkung der Personenverkehrsfreiheit.

The incredible thing is not just that single (batshit) comment - it's the entire thread around it full of incredibly sweeping generalisations about the entire *continent* of Europe.

"at the end of the day, we're still superior to Europe, for all our faults" is mad.

🎉🎉

Two completely contradictory push notifications from Bloomberg news - one showing "optimism over tensions easing in the Middle East" and the other showing Iran rejecting ceasefire proposals and calling US talks "illogical".

Two push notifications received simultaneously. Are we optimistic or pessimistic about "tensions easing"? Take your pick.

This is an incredible piece. Well worth reading in its entirety.

I came to your profile to check if you'd already seen it and was planning to tell you. Apparently I was far too slow.

The easiest analytical assumption to make whenever Trump does something is that he hasn't thought it through at all. And yet everytime commentators contort themselves into believing there's some kind of strategy.

Kind of incredible. I was just sitting down to write about how Starmer should be given credit for keeping us out of this mess when he does this. Unutterably foolish and obsequious. Why in God's name should we have anything to do with this shortsighted madness.

Definitiv!!

Bei mir läuft's sehr ähnlich. Ich warte auch seit einer Weile auf die Zulassung.

Yup, you've hit the nail on the head there.

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

Exactly. There are loads of reasons people might not renew their UK passport. I'm a dual British-German national and let my UK passport lapse a couple of years ago because I literally didn't have the money to renew it at the time. It's made zero difference to my life until now.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Jesus take the wheels

And we're back. The moment the danger passes, people rush to pretend everything is alright again. It isn't and will not be.

I know international law and the post-WWII global order is currently a bonfire, but can we stop worrying briefly to appreciate Bodø/Glimt dominating Man City (currently) 3-1 with two disallowed goals?
