So I did.

It’s called Based in Bohemia, and the first post looks at Andrej Babiš’s vast business empire.

Give it a read. You might like it.

"Spojenec" se vybarvil.
Europeans are waking up this morning to find the new US National Security Strategy (quietly) released. And what it has to say on Europe could not be clearer. On the „stark prospect of civilizations erasure“ for example. 👇

I hope that every single European country calls in the US ambassador to ask how exactly the US is planning to cultivate resistance inside their nation.

Russia is waging war not only on land& in the air,but also at sea

In the south, Russia is conducting an open sea-air campaign against Ukrainian ports and logistics. In the north, it is covertly testing the vulnerabilities of NATO countries' underwater infrastructure: power cables and telecom lines

This is the best show Putin could have hoped for: not a single straight answer. We have a Canadian brigade in Latvia. But what is the order for this brigade? Will they shoot if Russians cross the border? We know the answer: it would take ages to negotiate it.

We still need to get from a situation where Russia pretends to negotiate to a situation where they need to negotiate.

The problem with climate change is we have to convince a bunch of people that future people are actual people, when they don't even believe some currently alive people are people.

“Effective altruism” v praxi... S omluvou bratrům Slovákům! Toto uvažování je hluboce antihumánní: redukuje hodnotu milionů životů na hypotetický přínos jedince, ignoruje lidskou důstojnost a vede k vysoce nebezpečnému ospravedlňování obětí ve jménu pofidérního „vyššího dobra“. #viaX

Přesně tak. Amerika vykročila na cestu samostatného imperialismu.
Bylo by chybou jí dělat stafáž a následně se stat obětí.
Europeans still in denial stage about our former 🇺🇸 ally - the reality is that we must cut Rusamerica loose from 🇬🇧🇪🇺 defense structures, intel sharing & headspace as a matter of urgency. Or remain paralysed & be carved up by 21st century fascist Axis 🎯👇

Nová (možná) vláda se prezentuje plánem sebrat obcím peníze z radarových měření za překročení rychlosti. Ty byly dosud “příjmem rozpočtu obce” a zejména Motoristům sobě ležely tyto peníze v žaludku. Tak si k tomu řekněme pár faktů.

“I’m an American citizen so leave me alone”

“Alright, we just got to verify that”

ICE and CBP Agents Are Scanning Peoples’ Faces on the Street To Verify Citizenship
Videos on social media show officers from ICE and CBP using facial recognition technology on people in the field. One expert described the practice as “pure dystopian creep.”
