The EU has unveiled sweeping plans to slash its reliance on China and reclaim control over critical sectors โ from chemicals to pharmaceuticals and biotech โ as it steps up its de-risking plans. Story from me scmp.com/news/china/dipโฆ
The US has #FreedomOfSpeech, unless you have JD Vance memes, support Palestine, believe in climate change, or support LGBT rights. Individuals deported, universities defunded, research censored: Europe doesn't have a freedom of speech problem, but the US does.
In Europe, thousands are being convicted for the crime of criticizing their own governments. This Orwellian message won't fool the United States. Censorship is not freedom.
And mind you itโs still so far from being as horny as the Orangina furry ad campaign in France (maybe other places too?) around 2007 or 2008 ๐.
Did you know? In 2013, Capcom briefly partnered with Taco Bell to promote Darkstalkers Resurrection using Morrigan alongside Baja Blast, citing her "brand synergy" with the drink's color. The campaign quietly ended after complaints that the ads were "too horny for soda," which Iโฆ
Young trans people are being KILLED by @WesStreetingโs implementation of the completely manufactured โGender Criticalโ Cass Report - which amounts to conversion therapy - and @UKLabour โs war on trans. Double figures already. I promise you, this is as big a scandal as the Postโฆ

After having begged Putin repeatedly to accept a ceasefire within two weeks, Trump has now prolonged his respite to 50 days to hinder a Russia sanctions bill cosponsored by 85 senators to go ahead. Trump works so had for Putin. Why?
this is in the running for worst post ever made
Missed joke: you can see the Kuznetsov coming from a lot further away than a mile
Could've seen this coming a mile away but it's still hilarious
๐ซ๐ท Chief of the French Armed Forces, General Thierry Burkhard: ๐ฃ๏ธ โEuropeโs security and the place of European countries in tomorrowโs world are being decided in Ukraine. If Ukraine is defeated, we will become grass-eaters in a world of predators.โ ๐ฃ๏ธ โRussia is a constantโฆ
1/5 They said thereโd be no invasion. Then there was. Then they blamed NATO and said Ukraine would fall in a few days. They were wrongโagain and again. This is a thread about the loudest voices who got Ukraine completely wrong
The Trump government plan to mitigate anger caused by the failure to issue timely flood warnings due to their destruction of state capacity to monitor the weather is to imply woke deep state operatives manipulated the climate.
Americans have questions about geoengineering and contrails. They expect honesty and transparency from their government when seeking answers. For years, people who asked questions in good faith were dismissed, even vilified by the media and their own government. This ends today.
in brussels walking with Ukrainians, and they are like: "RORRCH ?"
In Yesterday's #EuropeanParliament #FEMM committee hearing on the #CSAM regulation (#ChatControl), we got a chilling idea of the risks of the precedents set by scanning every citizens messages. ๐งต๐ฝ (1/4)
Israel blocking aid for months to deliberately starve Gaza, setting up death traps, then repeatedly shooting at and killing people desperately seeking aid is not a โflawed design.โ Itโs a list of war crimes.
The repeated fatal shootings of Palestinians seeking food at distribution centers in Gaza are an outcome of the flawed design of the American-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's efforts, according to experts, witness testimony and visual evidence. wapo.st/3IgLUcA
This was written today by the President of the United States, not a 5th grader. Incredible.
Putin is making it very clear that any truce in Ukraine will come only when he is defeated. We talk, he kills Ukrainians. We talk some more, he kills more Ukrainians. He has openly said he wants to destroy Ukraine and that is his war aim. A combined Ukrainian-US-European effortโฆ
