In honor of Trump loudly and repeatedly claiming he's stopping a new war every week, here's Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama and Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev laughing at Trump with Emmanuel Macron about his bullshit boasts.
He is an international laughing stock. All of America is.

“Danish citizens are organising a huge boycott that includes cancelling planned holidays in the US, cancelling subscriptions to on-demand services based in the US & more generally, recommending the use of EU services instead of those provided by American platforms.”
So, same as Canadians.

Uruguay's electricity grid going 100% renewable in just five years proves how quick and easy the transition can be, and therefore how the failure of other countries to do the same is inexcusable

I used to think it was unrealistic in a zombie film when someone would get bit and would hide it from from the rest of the group. Then the fucking COVID pandemic happened.

This makes no sense…
An MP can wake up one morning, ditch the party you elected them for, & sign up to a completely different manifesto…
No thanks
If they defect to a different party, we should get a vote
Sign the petition & help make that law.

#5debutalbums9094 Elliott Smith - Roman Candle (1994) Raw and homely, Smith's debut is a disarmingly intimate yet revealing acoustic set. Four of the tracks are called No Name, perhaps showing the immediacy of a recording never originally intended for commercial release. #NowPlaying #MusicSky

If something is legally required, like car insurance, then the industry should be nationalised. Why should the law force me to make profit for their shareholders rather than taxpayers?

GDP should never be used to assess the health of a countries economy. While no single metric can ever tell the full story, the best measure is the relative buying power of the median worker in a country. That will tell you how rich ordinary people actually are.

Our economic system is broken, the rules of the game were written by rich people for rich people. Inequality is growing and it’s no good to rich and poor alike. We need new rules.
