As a supporter of democracy I have to ask myself - if a country votes for fascism and then gets fascism in return... how am I supposed to feel? As an outsider I am tempted towards the FAFO mindset. My concern is mainly for the other countries that will feel the ripple effects.

I have to say that Bluesky coverage of the Vancouver tragedy was just not good enough when people are seeking information asap. I had to resort to searching twitter through xcancel.com as I deleted my account long ago. Still a ways to go before Bluesky can catch up for breaking events.

Eyes on South Korea today. If the President is not impeached and returns to power then the country is in serious trouble.

Congrats to South Korea for arresting their ex-President. Now make it harder to declare martial law in the first place or it'll happen again.

South Korea's martial law only being reversed because the opposition had a majority in parliament isn't such a great win to me. What would have happened if he had a majority?
