Jeez, this sordid tale gets worse and worse every time I look at the news 🤮 Can they just arrest someone and jail them? And please, mainstream media, stop labelling everything you report as “Breaking News”
I’ve joined the waitlist for wsocial.eu beta when it opens in March. “W is built on verified human users, transparency, privacy, and free speech.” I like that start point. Check it out!
“Top line, guys: all this makes you look like what your president likes to call a “shithole country”. Sorry! I assume it’s fine to use officially licensed vocabulary?” www.theguardian.com/commentis…

What’s the bet that 1) US troops invade Greenland on Tuesday, and 2) Trump shows up in Davos on Wednesday and asks, “What are you going to do about it?”
“Trump’s threats are ‘revenge for Nobel prize snub’, and he says he is ‘no longer obligated to think of peace’” This is nuts. Is it really the case that Trump can do anything he wants and get away with it? Surely there is resistance somewhere in America? bit.ly/4r5re8s

The irony of Russia’s condemnation of the US attack on Venezuela, citing “armed aggression” and “unacceptable encroachment on the sovereignty of an independent state,” can’t be lost on anyone www.themoscowtimes.com/2026/01/0…
Kier Starmer is a reasonable man and sold Labour well to voters in the 2024 election. But he’s not the leader we need imo. The thing is, I see no one else credible in Labour who could be - the same dilemma the Tories had post-Johnson. Are we doomed? bit.ly/4qByJnf
“Apologies for any inconvenience caused.” What a bland, impersonal statement for something that directly impacts thousands of people and makes it very personal indeed www.bbc.co.uk/news/live…
