An absolutely killer response at the end here from Vanity Fair photographer Christopher Anderson.
An extract from the Washington Post interview with Anderson. It reads: Were there moments that you missed? Anything that happened that's on the cutting room floor? I don't think there's anything I missed that I wish I'd gotten. I'll give you a little anecdote: Stephen Miller was perhaps the most concerned about the portrait session. He asked me, "Should I smile or not smile?" and I said, "How would you want to be portrayed?" We agreed that we would do a bit of both. And then when we were finished, he comes up to me to shake my hand and say goodbye. And he says to me, "You know, you have a lot of power in the discretion you use to be kind to people." And I looked at him and I said, "You know, you do, too."

Susan Wiles in Vanity Fair dismantling the people she works for.

This is like a telegraph from the Titanic.

But she deserves to go down with the ship having chosen to deliver the agenda of a group of people even she accepts are morally & psychologically bankrupt.

A plague on all their houses.
Extract from Vanity Fair which reads: Over the course of 11 interviews, Ms. Wiles offered pungent assessments of the president and his team: Mr. Trump "has an alcoholic's personality." Vice President JD Vance has "been a conspiracy theorist for a decade" and his conversion from Trump critic to ally was based not on principle but was "sort of political" because he was running for Senate. Elon Musk is "an avowed ketamine" user and "an odd, odd duck," whose actions were not always "rational" and left her "aghast." Russell T. Vought, the budget director, is "a right-wing absolute zealot." And Attorney General Pam Bondi "completely whiffed" in handling the Epstein files.

Havan - one of the biggest supermarket chains in Brazil - has erected replicas outside 70 of their stores across the country. Who knows why…

Trump’s response to the Reiner tragedy below.

When Trump’s miserable life ends, no-one should have to apologize for anything they might post in response.

A tragedy of a man who will have earned every morsel of scorn and hatred that will be poured onto his memory.
A post by Trump which reads: A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS. He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!

One of the photos of the year.

Jackson Doolan, a lifeguard at Tamarama beach, Sydney, runs barefoot TOWARDS the gunfire at Bondi Beach, carrying medical equipment.

Just one of many extraordinary acts of heroism yesterday (Dec 14).

The photo was captured by local resident, Alexandra Ching.
The photo is as the post describes but it is taken from behind Jackson, so he is running away from the camera down the road, which is car-lined. His legs are slightly blurred from the running and his blue lifeguard jacket is visible above his blue shorts.

The regime always creates an enemy to distract from itself.

I think about this scene in The Big Short a lot.

No single human, at any point in history, has ever had so much of the world unite in ridicule.

An utter tragedy of man.

Once again, a Scottish newspaper takes a stand, refusing to follow the mainstream media mob in perpetuating the great fiction that is the Gaza “ceasefire”.

The @scotnational.bsky.social puts their peers to shame.
The front page of the National on Friday Dec 5, 2025. The headline reads “A ceasefire in name only”. The sub-heading reads: “We publish a timeline of the ongoing violence in Gaza since a 'ceasefire was agreed - as Netanyahu's brutal, apartheid regime's genocide continues to claim lives.”

Hegseth’s name plate at today’s Cabinet meeting.
War Criminal Pete Hegseth’s name plate at the Cabinet meeting misspelt. It says “SSecretary of War”. Hegseth would fit culturally in the SS, if not competency-wise.

Trump may not survive this Cabinet meeting.
Trump close to falling asleep in the Cabinet meeting. The slumped orange felon looks like he’s either had a stroke or has been anaesthetised. A doctor arriving in this room would immediately check for a pulse.

NBC News headline which reads White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s relative detained by ICE. It then has a picture of Leavitt at the press room lectern underneath the headline.

Never forget that Trump claimed it as HIS plan, Vance personally promoted it, the White House said Rubio authored it - and they all gave Zelensky a week to agree to it or lose all support.

Presidencies have collapsed & people have been imprisoned for FAR less.

Treachery.

We now have leaders of allied nations unable to trust a word the US tells them.

We are witnessing one of the greatest diplomatic and foreign relations blunders of our lifetimes.
A post by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk. It reads: Together with the leaders of Europe, Canada and Japan, we have declared our readiness to work on the 28-point plan despite some reservations. However, before we start our work, it would be good to know for sure who is the author of the plan and where was it created.

NEW: It’s takes a moment for this to really sink in.

Guardian reporting that key parts of Trump’s peace plan was drafted IN RUSSIAN first.
US 'peace proposal' includes Russianisms prompting questions about authorship of text - analysis Luke Harding in Kyiv Some of the phrases in the US’s “peace proposal” for Ukraine appear to have been originally written in Russian. In several places the language would work in Russian but seems distinctly odd in English.

"Right now is one of the most difficult moments in our history. At this moment, Ukraine may face a very hard choice: either the loss of dignity, or the risk of losing a key partner."

Insane. Inexcusable. Illegal.

And the new normal in Trump’s America.
Dayanne Figueroa was on her way to get coffee before heading to work when she encountered a chaotic scene in West Town: heavily armed, masked federal agents making arrests on a residential street. People yelled as vehicles honked their horn - a sign now used to alert neighbors that immigration federal agents are in the area - and witnesses said federal agents had arrested several landscaper workers presumed to be in the country without authorization. As Figuero tried to drive through the 1600 block of West Hubbard Street on Friday, Oct. 10, an unmarked vehicle driven by federal agents collided with Figueroa's as it tried to speed away from a hostile crowd, multiple videos reviewed by the Tribune show. Seconds after the crash, agents abruptly stopped their vehicle and exited with weapons in hand pointing at Figueroa, a U.S citizen. Agents then forcibly opened her door and pulled her out of the vehicle by her legs without identifying themselves, presenting a warrant or informing her that she was under arrest. As bystanders yelled, "You hit her! We have it on video!" agents ignored the crowd and forced Figueroa into a red minivan and drove away. Her car was left behind in the middle of the road, her coffee still in the cup holder, and her keys in plain view.

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.

Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.

She was later released with NO CHARGE.

A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

You decide…
