Det är lite kul att se hur det skaver i den svenska folksjälen att halloween är en högtid som inte går ut på att åka till landet med familjen och äta sill

A pirate goes to the ship’s surgeon to have spots on his arm checked.
The surgeon says, "They're benign".
The pirate replies, "No, no doc. There be 11. I counted them before I came here."

Happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Äntligen tittade jag på Kpop Demon Hunters igår. Jätteroligt!

Idag behöver jag handla kläder men jag hoppas att spela lite BAR också.

If you keep telling people whose concerns aren't valid that they have valid concerns, then they will believe they have valid concerns.

You can't go through life - or politics - without sometimes just straight up telling people they're wrong.

You can be nice about it. But you still have to do it.

It's absolutely peak Britain that the crown jewel of a new EU agreement is us getting access to better queues.

Starlink should be banned from European markets on national security grounds.

Anything requiring Starlink should be shut out of the European market, and sanctions should be considered against all relevant actors.

The weaponization of US technology companies means we should treat our dependence on them as a national security threat ↘️
So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

Detta förslag kom för mer än ett år sedan. Stödet från EU:s medlemsländer var för svagt med nej från bland andra Sverige. Frågan är nu död. Kraftfulla uttalanden till stöd för Ukraina och för europeisk upprustning är jättebra. Men det är handling som räknas.

The EU’s internal market chief also insisted the bloc will meet its target of producing a million artillery shells by the spring.

🇦🇹🇫🇮🇸🇪 30 years since Austria, Finland and Sweden joined the EU.

Thanks to them, on 1 January 1995, our Union changed for the better. Together, we became a greater political, economic and cultural community.

And Europe has made them stronger.

Happy 30 years in the 🇪🇺 family!

This is what happens when you pander to anti-immigration sentiments, rather than confronting them. Starmer's continued claim that the UK has "Open Borders" is false in absolutely every way. What it inevitably does though is embolden the far-right and risk more violence against migrants. #r4today
British neonazi group Patriotic Alternative are celebrating because Keir Starmer's rhetoric on immigration and asylum has gotten so hawkish they believe it validates their conspiracy theory about White Replacement.

Why does People Magazine name a new "Sexiest Man Alive" every year? It doesn't make any sense to name a new one if the old one is still alive. The new one should have to fight the old one to the death. Like Highlander.
