https://bsky.app/profile/eucopresident.consilium.europa.eu/post/3ljfr2o6ycs2b I feel awful for Americans here (as in most Allsparkers) for having to put up with a wretched, peace-wrecking head of government.

I mean, any post-Trump president, if there ever is one, would need to do massive amounts of diplomatic repair to intentional relations and alliances. “West Germany after WWII” levels of rapprochement and apologising.

I honestly believe that RFK Jr and people like him believe in eugenics and societal Darwinism; the whole point of removing vaccines is to weed out the ‘weak’ and ‘imperfect’. Unfortunately I think that the global pandemic likely radicalised such people further.

Oh man, the “Maple MAGA” premier of Ontario won an absolutely crushing victory there. Bleak.

https://bsky.app/profile/rdbinns.bsky.social/post/3liyizqa53k2a Every national newspaper today put a front page ad for a campaign against the UK government’s AI policies.

Urgh, the far-right AfD doubled their vote share and broke the 20% mark, and the CDU/CSU came first. SPD got their worst result ever, the Greens sunk, while the Left party got a surprising strong showing. The FDP are thankfully out of the Bundestag, sinking below the 5%, which serves them right...

Oh, I know! It’s the direction of travel that concerns me, as in Trump even more ignoring the rules and norms of the office. I’m a pessimist and even I’ve been shocked at what Trump has attempted in just four weeks. All bets are off now, it looks like basic constitutional rule of law is...

Incidentally, my assumption is that Trump is going to abolish elected state governors and replace them with direct appointees, as Putin did in his third (fourth?) term. I mean, I expected that he would at least attempt that before the end of his current term, but how things are going, he could...

Oh, he’s seemingly declared himself king on Twitter. Great.

Strongest condemnation of the Trump junta (so far) from this side of the pond is from a former Tory prime minister who was last in office back in 1997. The current fake Labour government seems more set on appeasement than anything else, most likely due to being stuck outside of the European...

“Free speech” always means freedom to discriminate.

https://bsky.app/profile/adamserwer.bsky.social/post/3li3ttw4yas2g They want to introduce apartheid to America, don’t they? There’s no hiding it.

The bit stating the intention to “purchase or otherwise acquire Greenland”, I mean, “otherwise acquire”, what a potentially horrific euphemism.

https://bsky.app/profile/theguardian.com/post/3lhogrn32bu2l Remember in the film Casino (Dir: Martin Scorsese) where Robert DeNiro’s character is running a casino, despite not legally being allowed to, and there’s also an official boss of the casino who is just a figurehead? Yeah.

Surprising that the “Megatron recoloured as another identical character who is his combat decoy” thing from Machine Wars was never really seen again, given the nature of how this hobby works. (I can never remember whether MW Megatron is the teal or milky grey one.)

Wow, I didn’t know that Megatron had a second job as lead singer of Judas Priest.

Well, I’m British, and believe me, I’ll certainly be boycotting the Super Bowl.

I’m checking my iPhone early every morning to check if Trump hasn’t started a war and invaded a sovereign country, or had all of his opposition arrested. Or worse. This is stressful, even on the other side of the Atlantic. I’m aware that even not living in the States, there are a whole lot of...
