Bizarre beyond belief.
During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

There is no master race. Whether by colour of skin, wealth in pockets... sex, identity, or even mental ability. There... is... NO... master race. Most people on this planet want to just get along and have a nice life without greedy rich cunts starting wars to get a little richer.

Because laws don't matter in our courts anymore, because we are no longer a nation of laws. One dictator kidnapped and jailed another.

The Venezuelan leader faces a multi-count indictment in New York. Experts in international law question his arrest, but that probably will not affect his trial.

Whether you kill 15 innocent people because you hate all Jews or you kill 70,000 because you hate all Palestinians, your betrayal of humanity is the same. Unreasoning hatred breeds unreasoning hatred.

Worth adding that if you keep going back and back you realise just how stupid the likes of Connor Tomlinson are. We're all descended from a whole raft of people and eventually you get back to Africa and appreciate that we are all one in the end.

I used to shop at the brew shop (further away in the CBD) and was one of the people who started shopping at the closer one as it improved over time. Now the CBD one is closing and the guy who owns it seems to think I'm a cause because I shifted away. He failed at competing TBH.

A very senior IT guy at big Aotearoa company adamant nobody should go near Alexa etc or cloud-store security cameras either but it's all a coin-toss because when you buy any 'smart' stuff decide whether you want China or US to spy on your stuff... first. The other side will get it soon after anyway

You know who doesn't rush to buy wi-fi-enabled "smart" appliances? IT security people. I had one regale me with a story about a "smart" heater that could be remotely made to bypass its own thermostat and keep heating. Ideal for burning your enemy's house down.

🇺🇸🇪🇺👀 Landau: I knew many of these countries had tied their energy fortunes to Russia, but I had no idea of the extent of it, or how (collectively) it dwarfed their aid to Ukraine.

The money sent to Russia is in blue; the money sent to Ukraine is in orange

Sean Penn starred in a Ukrainian film for $1.
Not zero. One dollar. Here's why.

SAG rules prevented him from working for free. So he chose the minimum: $1.

That's solidarity. That's support.

Immigration is NOT tearing this country apart.

Politicians like Farage and Mahmodo are tearing it apart by their divisive rhetoric and dishonest framing of the known facts behind immigration.

I despise them for it.

Now 10 years here isn’t long enough. It has to be 20 years.

What a disgrace.

To suggest that having lived a life so grim that even an English tribunal will grant you asylum, and to have somehow managed to get here at great risk to life, is a "golden ticket" is absolutely fucking contemptible. Shame on this so-called Labour Party.
No, I'd say it's racists and those pandering to them.

5 years later, 14 European parliaments signed cooperation with Belarus's president-elect in exile. Finally.

How to rapidly scale the heat pump market?

“The main hurdle is the price ratio of gas to electricity. [Reforming taxation of energy] would unlock a much more market-driven transition.”

That’s what I told the FT. Excellent piece.

By all means do what you have to do to survive in a toxic environment but please, I beg you, don’t suck up to bullies. Don’t inflate their egos. This encourages them to bully more people. Survive them not nourish them. There’s a difference.
