@GuntherEagleman Somebody tell Gunther that the European taxpayers aren’t a subscription service, we would like to receive the goods and services we paid for

@martijntjesmits @jaklok84 @H_Bouwmeester Rusland zou ook gebaat zijn bij een democratisch gekozen president

Over the last two years, $100 million in European taxpayer money has gone to Elon Musk to pay for Starlink for Ukraine.

In that same period, zero US taxpayer money has gone to Ukraine.

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

[Daractenus @Daractenus]

Russians born the day Putin came to power turn 27 this year. More than a quarter of Russia’s population has never known life outside Putin’s direct or proxy rule. Millions have been born, lived and died all under Putin. If anyone needs a new president, that's Russia.

Mooi!

@SahilBloom Agreed! A sentiment also shared by Charlie Munger. He inverted the problem: being unreliable is a good way to disqualify any other great traits you might have

6 - PSV received six yellow cards in an @eredivisie game against Ajax for the first time over the last 50 years.

Kamikaze.

[Inside020 @Inside_020]

Yellow card. #Ajax #ajapsv

[Tim Krete @timkrete]

@MrFrankLegs @StevieB1912 De aanpak vermoed ik:
Prioriteit (1): kwaliteit van Ajax 1 moet van dien aard zijn dat je kampioen ‘kan’ worden.
Prioriteit (2): de selectie bij eigen opleiding moet voldoende breed zijn dat de kans het ‘hoogst’ is dat er spelers zijn die op ‘kampioen’ niveau kunnen doorbreken

In 1990, Dolly Parton went on vacation in Ireland.

She walked into a local pub in County Kerry and delivered a flawless performance of Coat of Many Colors.

A heart of pure gold who made people smile across oceans.

While the world watches the war, the Islamic Republic of Iran hanged a 19-year-old boy today.

His name is Erfan Esfandiari and he was his parents' only child.

He did not kill anyone. He did not carry a weapon. His crime, according to the Islamic Republic, was opening a door. Sheltering protesters who were running from security forces. That was enough to send him to the gallows.

Erfan was one of 12 young men in the Alikhani Square case in Isfahan, arrested during the January 2026 uprising. Yesterday, all 12 were moved to quarantine. Today, the Islamic Republic hanged him.

This is a government that is so terrified of a generation that refuses to be silent, that it executes teenagers for the act of compassion.

Say his name. Because the regime is already trying to erase him. Because his mother and father are left with nothing, not even the right to grieve loudly.

@RyanHoliday Disagree slightly on this take. Debating a problem ensures that when you “decide you are fixing the right problem. With no proper debate you may end up solving a different problem. All action no thinking is maybe as dangerous as all thinking no action

For those wondering why NATO exists and why countries want to join the defensive alliance.

@jakubwiech Looking at the median income is a much better metric. If Bezos walks into a bar with 50 people, the mean would imply everybody is a billionaire. In addition, there are services in USA which run through the market like healthcare which in Europe are typically paid in kind
