Anthony Bourdain: “…the world is, in fact, filled with mostly good and decent people who are simply doing the best they can. Everybody, it turns out, is proud of their food (when they have it). They enjoy sharing it with others (if they can). They love their children...”

It's hard to fathom how deeply evil this is, and that we have people running our country who get sick pleasure from sending women fleeing violence in Iran to an African country in the middle of a brutal civil war.

Has anyone at Fifa thought through, that this game in the Round of 32 could very well be USA versus Iran? #FifaWorldCup

Björn #Höcke erzählt, er habe das mit den Wessis und Ossis „irgendwo gelesen“. Tatsächlich stammt das Originalzitat wohl von #RussiaToday und fiel in der Diskussion um deutsche Hilfen für die #Ukraine (Link im Thread)

Höcke wurde geistig 1944 eingefroren und später wieder aufgetaut (echte Deutsche gebe es nur noch im Osten, im Westen „deutschsprechende Amerikaner“)

For the past 9 months, I've been investigating Andrew Tate's empire of sexual exploitation — drawing on thousands of private messages and sealed court files, as well as interviews with the Tates, their associates & more than a dozen alleged victims. Here's what I found: https://t.co/q1L65EVG1O

What the EU Did to Poland and the Baltics
I think the most underreported story in global economics is what European integration has done to the countries that were once the Soviet Union’s western margin.

In 2004, Poland joined the European Union. Its unemployment rate was around 20 percent. It was a middle-income country with serious structural problems and a GDP that reflected the grey inheritance of central planning.

Twenty years later, its GDP has passed one trillion dollars, having roughly tripled between accession and 2020 alone.

A new study from the Polish Economic Institute found that Poland’s economy is 42 percent larger than it would have been had it not joined the EU.

KAT is basically trying to process grief over his mom’s death by playing the best basketball of his life in these finals and I could not be rooting for him harder.

This piece by @guardian is a masterclass in why old-school journalism will never die. You could easily lose 3 hours in this and still want more. https://t.co/P6xxOOo518

"People sometimes ask me why I’m so hung up on Bari Weiss and the answer is that it’s because her project is essentially the same as Donald Trump’s project." Scott Pelley gets it, too. Today's Triad from JVL (link in reply):

The Guardian’s guide to all 1,248 players at the World Cup is out! One of the coolest projects every four years.

Messi, Mbappé, Saka, Pulisic, et al. But also: Bodak (Curaçao, ex-chip shop intern), Rodrigues (Cape Verde, former mailman) and literally everyone in between.

@IAPonomarenko @IAPonomarenko what's happening is that the Russia-funded MAGA is splitting. One camp is doubling down and openly flaunting their Russia ties. The other camp, including Loomer and this guy who works for her, are claiming they're shocked, shocked! to find Russia has paid people.

@pallokat A) Der Frust mit dem Bestehenden vor Ort ist größer als diese gedankliche Transferleistung. B) Der Anteil an Trump-Wählern war 2024 umso größer je weniger Leute sich über das Weltgeschehen informierten. C) Social Media

[Jan Pallokat 🇵🇱🇩🇪 @pallokat]

Wo die reaktionäre Rechte regierte, hat sie Schäden angerichtet: am Rechtsstaat (Polen), durch Vetternwirtschaft (Ungarn), globales Chaos (Trump).

Interessant ist, dass das den Support in anderen Ländern nicht zu bremsen scheint.

Woran liegt's?

@DoreenReinhard Interessant: Nun wird Holger Friedrich "nur" noch als "Front Row Participant" gelistet. Auf die Bühne wollte er vielleicht nicht mehr...

[Doreen Reinhard @DoreenReinhard]

Dieses geplante Panel beim Spief in Petersburg, bei dem es auch noch unverblümt um "Einflussnahme" gehen soll, ist gespickt mit Propagandisten.

Moderieren soll Kirill Dimitriev, "Putins Dealmaker".

Angekündigt:

- die russlandnahen AfDler Jörg Urban und Markus Frohnmaier.
