Good ol' Daily Mail UK.

Cover page of online edition of Daily Mail UK with photos of Donald Trump and his cabinet and headlines saying: "Nobel Donald Snub, Trump is SNUBBED by Nobel Peace Prize judges: US President's achievements are ignored, despite brokering peace in Gaza"

The announcement speech feels like it is being said to Trump directly.

Plane heute hinzugehen, mit meiner 6-jährigen Tochter, weil es vor allem um ihre Zukunft geht. Wir haben nicht das Recht, diese Zukunft zu zerstören. Jetzt ist die Zeit, um gegenzusteuern.

I welcome the announcement of an agreement to secure a ceasefire and the release of hostages in Gaza, based on the proposal put forward by President Trump.

If German native-speakers just pronounce it old-school-style,
it's a:
WEDGIE-Börga
Problem solved.

a cartoon drawing of a man ordering a burger at a burger place and the server's underwear are wedged in the burger so the man ordering says, "No I said I want a veggie burger not a wedgie burger!" it is deeply unfunny but since some German people call veggie burger wedgie burger because of native tongue pronunciation in second or third or whatever number language, it is moderately funny for me. Not really.

I’m doing an interview in a moment with an Austrian radio station about what it’s like being an American in authoritarianism and I’m nervous. Even though I talk about this constantly on social media, it feels extra real suddenly. My hands are getting clammy and I feel like I might cry.

Too much of a challenge in critical thinking for the supremacist mind-set prevalent in our bubbles.
