@MrGoodMemes @JMeanypants Even if their relationship is dysfunctional, how does that justify cheating instead of communicating or leaving? Their relationship will always be tainted by infidelity, even if it improves. So we're back to square 1. Cheating is a choice.

@tonecop45 @Jessicam6946 How did you push your wife to cheat?

[Wintermute @simulacrumatic]

@AllBungled Yes, and they'll now be in the White House.

Many Trump supporters are starting to realize Musk is a globalist billionaire that is trying to use Trump for his own profit. Are you really comfortable with someone using MAGA like that? woooooow

[Anonymous @YourAnonCentral]

Do you know that MAGA co-worker you have? Report all his mistakes to management.

@MaryLTrump They all took an oath to protect against all foreign and *domestic* enemies, and it cannot be more clear that a coup against this government of democracy is happening rn, in plain view every day. it's a putin invasion, from the inside by a putin puppet.

To President Biden and all elected Democrats: Stop playing by rules that no longer exist. At this point, it's not just spinelessness, it's complicity.

BREAKING: Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, was flagged as a possible "Insider Threat" by a fellow service member due to a tattoo he has that’s associated with white supremacists.

Scholz talks with Putin, for domestic electoral reasons...the worst reasons.

He doesn't speak for Europe. His refusal to send Taurus missiles to Ukraine ensures his call will be hollow to Putin, who only understands strength.

@hukrblom @educator4ever36 @mizzoumalek23 @DStudenhauser You see, she actually didn't say what you think she said. Avoiding mistakes like the one you've just made is one of the things that education gives some of those who are unlucky enough not to develop strong critical thinking skills. Don't hate, it's just logic and facts. Improve!

I consider Zelenskyy one of the greatest leaders in modern history, and here's why:

- Many thought he would flee Kyiv right after Feb 2022. Instead, he stayed and decided to fight against Russian barbarism
- He's been a target of massive disinformation and smear campaigns: he's been called a Nazi, Zionist, warlord, drug addict, corrupt, beggar, etc.
- He still delivers messages to his people on a daily basis, whom he watches die every day
- He goes around the world and asks for politicians and governments to help Ukraine defend itself, usually without any good results
- He's actually gone to the front lines to meet the soldiers, unlike the bunker grandpa
- He's had to make some tough war-time decision over censorship, elections, mobilization, etc.

Of course there's always room for criticism, and many Ukrainians have criticized him for domestic politics, decisions over the war, and so on. But I can't remember many war-time presidents or leaders who have done better.

Unfortunately, it seems like the war fatigue, US domestic politics and time has turned president Zelenskyy into a somewhat negative figure, and the Kremlin will most probably keep pushing their smear campaigns against him (just watch as its lackeys come and swarm in the comments below).

As Harvey Dent famously said in Dark Knight,

"You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."

@DStudenhauser @mizzoumalek23 They many not be less informed *because* (causally) they didn't go to college, but people with college educations are consistently better-informed (answer more questions on current events and gov policy correctly) than those without college education.

This is what smallpox looks like. RFK Jr. wants to eliminate the smallpox vaccine. Good luck everyone. This is what you voted for.

Beyond the obvious perk of not being owned by Elon Musk & co, Bluesky Social differs from X/Twitter in the following ways:
- Registered as a Public Benefit Corporation
- Decentralized social network
- No pay-to-win nonsense: equal visibility and post length for everyone
- No ads

[Guy Verhofstadt @guyverhofstadt]

With Trump, Xi, Putin & N. Korea in Ukraine, Europe is the only geopolitical choice for the UK. Lots to do to improve 🇪🇺 - 🇬🇧 relations in this new world.

The irony...all of this will be accelerated by the actions of Trump, Mr Farage's Darth Vader.
