Trump: "Based upon a very productive meeting I had with Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region. This solution, if consummated, will be a great one... Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs"

Argentine President Javier Milei posted an AI image that showed him at the scene of devastating wildfires in Patagonia (he was not there). Milei recently defunded a Fire Management Plan and denied climate change. Those firefighters already make a meager salary. www.pagina12.com.ar/2026/01/13/n...

Here's how WaPo and the Times
handled this.

The Times didn't mention the anti-Somali racism. WaPo simply said Trump "revealed his thoughts about Somalia."

WaPo cited Trump praising Hell's Angels without noting he did it while attacking "vicious people" from "the Congo."

Trump rapid response: "After takeoff, the AF1 crew identified a minor electrical issue. Out of an abundance of caution, AF1 is returning to Joint Base Andrews. The President and team will board a different aircraft and continue on to Switzerland."

Also, not impressed with "will require identification and photo validation." You're totally missing the point and just creating a privacy nightmare.

If you want a European social media effort, look at @eurosky.social or various ActivityPub efforts. Don't build some new proprietary platform.

This phenomenon is known as the ‘Brazil nut effect,’ and there are a couple of mechanisms at play.

Just remember that last year @albomp.bsky.social’s government approved a carbon bomb, the North West Shelf Gas project.

For those that pay attention to and respect climate science, and laws of physics and chemistry, you’ll appreciate why this is an issue.
