If Zuck, Bezos and Elon manage to tilt the US election it’s probably time to leave Twitter. Might most successful tweet had close to 2 million views (different account ). Won’t even stay up long to watch and doomscroll tonight. Hopefully NATO survive #USAElections #USDemocracy

Nordic countries are strengthening their defense at such a pace that it could be said that a so-called "mini-NATO" is being formed in the north.

Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark are a force to be reckoned with.

First part of the series of threads is:

Nordic Air Forces🧵

[Tomi 🇺🇦🇫🇮🇪🇺 @TallbarFIN]

Due to formation of a joint air force in the Nordic region, nearly 150 F-35s will be flying along the Russian border challenging the Russian air dominance over the region. Sweden's 90 Gripen's will offer the low cost backbone of the Nordic air forces.

Here's the Washington Post's front page on January 7, 2021. Four years later, the paper, famous for its tagline "Democracy Dies in Darkness," doesn't want to take a stand on who is fit to be president.

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

There should be a mass walkout at the Post. Your employer has just bent the knee to fascism. No one who's a student of history believes that appeasing fascists in the way the Post has just done today does anything but embolden them. Trump has promised to *jail* journalists. WTAF!

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

Extraordinary story. Washington Post won't endorse a candidate in presidential election, for the first time in 36 years. The Post itself is reporting that an endorsement of Harris had been written but was blocked by Jeff Bezos, the billionaire owner.

@Arbeiderpartiet med en grotesk dobbel uppercut mot villaksen: oppfordring til å legge enda flere elver i rør og pengedryss til kommuner som er verter for den syke oppdrettslaksen. På tide å få @Venstre og de @Partiet i regjering.

There are people in America right now, millions of them, who see a demented, hateful old man making up wild stories about black people stealing cats, having a meltdown at a pop singer and shaking in rage the rest of the time, and think: "This is whom I want to rule my nation."

[LdnHal ÆØÅ🇳🇴 XYZ🇬🇧 @ldnhal]

A very fine, close to two-hour, set from the barefooted grandees of industrial music @neubautenorg Einstürzende Neubauten. Mostly playing tracks from the last couple of albums as far as I could tell. For once I wanted a tour T-shirt, but sold out on the night.

First gig in ages, last minute decision to devote @neubautenorg

[LdnHal ÆØÅ🇳🇴 XYZ🇬🇧 @ldnhal]

@O2SBE @neubautenorg 20:30 according to guard

[LdnHal ÆØÅ🇳🇴 XYZ🇬🇧 @ldnhal]

@O2SBE @neubautenorg do we have stage times please? Been “stuck” in a nearby public house on one occasion until 21:00 once only to find out I missed half the gig
