A US President's cognitive collapse would be less worrying if the most powerful figures around him were not delusional cranks who now see an opportunity to turn racial imperialist memes into violent reality

The first step Europe needs to take is to ban X.

What I find particularly remarkable is how so much American debate seems oblivious to how much the foundations of US global power is dependent on access to infrastructure, bases and depots in Europe and Canada
Walk through what that 'mask off' world looks like: Europe accelerates rearmament, functioning as an independent power bloc - to which the United States' neighbors, threatened by our bullshit, will want to realign, creating flash-points for potential trans-Atlantic Big Boy Wars. 4/

People who fancy quoting the Melian Dialogue ("the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must") ignore the fact that Thucydides was clearly portraying this as the kind of hubris that squandered Athens' primacy and paved the way for a devastating peer war that it ultimately lost.

The Hawk Tuah girl would have been a powerful political force on the Continent. A cultural Napoleon.
We take it for granted now, but three minutes on TikTok is more content than a European peasant in the year 1414 would experience throughout the entire duration of their life.
two things are true:

in a remote setting, on a dark night, the deep sky is a truly profound experience that has influenced human philosophy, faith and religion for countless generations

and

that experience got absolutely rinsed by the first RCA 10 inch television

Eurovision 2024’s Nemo announces they are returning their trophy in protest of Israel’s participation:

“[Eurovision] was used to soften the image of a state accused of severe wrongdoing… when entire countries withdraw over this contradiction, it should be clear that something is deeply wrong.”
