🇯🇵 International Criminal Court President Tomoko Akane of Japan warned on Friday against "the demise of international rule of law" after she was hit by US sanctions.

"The sanction against me this time was something I had anticipated to an extent, so I'm not surprised," Akane said in a statement released on X by her publisher Bungei Shunju.

Endless short-form scrolling triggers a cascade of burnout, stress and depression.

The real cost of “just one more video.”

The problem with Woke 1 was that it did the opposite of that Michael Brooks quote about being "kind to people, ruthless to systems." It tried to fix massive societal issues by micromanaging individual behavior, which was never going to work, and only empowers bad faith bullies.

❗️🇺🇸🇩🇰🇬🇱🇪🇺 American neo-imperialism is taking a page from Russia’s playbook.

A Trump-linked US oil firm is moving drilling equipment into Greenland and preparing to drill despite lacking approval from Greenlandic authorities.

The new “little green men”: corporations probing sovereignty before the state follows.

Unacceptable.

Europe must kick this company out and station a permanent European force in Greenland.

Europeans are getting a taste of what the EU could look like if the hard right runs it:

No free movement. A race to the bottom on standards. And a lawless space where Europe’s worst enemies can divide and conquer.

The Ceuta–Italy spat was largely provoked by an EPP-led Commission that has not only failed to act against Italy’s unlawful checks, but has fuelled the tit-for-tat by siding with the 22-member-state letter blaming Spain.

Yet despite this unprecedented politicisation of EU law enforcement, no mainstream party - not the S&D not the liberals (having mostly joined that letter) or the Greens - is holding the Commission to account.

That’s the real danger for Europe: not just the hard right’s agenda, but its mainstream parties failing to defend European integration and, in doing so, helping dismantle it themselves while strengthening Europe’s worst enemies.

Alaska operates a sovereign wealth fund and mails every resident a residual check, it basically is socialist

Today, as every day, we remember Diogo Jota and André Silva, who tragically passed away one year ago.

Through immeasurable loss and incalculable pain, the impact they made and the legacies they left behind - not only within the footballing world, but in the hearts and minds of so many around the world - has shone through over the last 12 months.

All of our love, support, thoughts and prayers continue to be with Diogo and André's families, friends and all those whose lives were touched by them.

Forever in our hearts, forever our number 20 ❤️

A Jew beat a Jew in New York and they're calling it antisemitism.

That word has been rendered UTTERLY meaningless.

Much of Europe is sweating in an exceptional heat wave. But why has heat in Europe increased 4 times more than in other mid-latitude areas?
That has been linked to the Atlantic #coldblob in several studies. #AMOCSlide from my talk at London Climate Action Week #LCAW2026 today.

@PIIINKDIIAMOND @squidstape_dre She has campaigned for the Left Party (furthest to the left, anti-zionist) during elections in Sweden. Stop making shit up.

I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:

"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

“Radical centre” today means unhinged militarism, mindless foreign policy extremism, McCarthyist witch-hunt, xenophobia, nazi laundering abroad and trying to emulate far right populists at home while losing to them miserably. A political ideology for immoral conformists on defence industry’s payroll.

New research: we have studied the wealth of the 200 Californian billionaires and what they effectively pay in tax.

From Mark Zuckerberg (Meta) to Sergei Brin and Larry Page (Alphabet), the results are edifying. 🧵

Hello @JeffBezos, since you question the results of our studies on the unfairness of the US tax system, please allow me to remind you of the main conclusions of our work, the most comprehensive research to date on this issue.

@hudderall many of these accusations come straight from queer folks (especially men) of color which is extremely disappointing
