Martial pride on parade
Trump's planned spectacle will look like amateur hour compared to what Russia, China, and North Korea routinely stage for their masses.Scott Taylor (The Hill Times)
Trump's greatest achievements are always when he stops doing whatever stupid stuff he started.
Sort of like Hitler's greatest achievement was killing Hitler.

fucking moron.
"While it’s right to oppose Trump’s slash-and-burn approach, Democrats shouldn’t be defending a system that produces some of the worst outcomes in the world among high-income nations."

We can be worse.
If you ask most people why they interact with news sources, you’ll hear some version of the same answer. We do it to stay informed. But some of us find that the price of staying informed is too high.

Finding Balance Between Staying Informed and Despair | Medium
The emotional toll of engaging with the national news in the Trump era is too high. There must be a way to stay informed without being overwhelmed.Jack Vance (Medium)

原発事故の起きたチェルノブイリの記録写真を撮り続けているイタリア人の写真家で、英Trolley Booksよりその写真集が出ている。今は亡きTrolleyの創業者 Gigi Giannuzzi の繋いでくれた友人です。
福島第一原発（東京電力）の壊滅的な事故があってすぐに Pierpaolo のその本を柏書房に紹介した。原発事故のその後のことが事細かに分析され、記録されている本だから。

“The damage [high #immigration] has done to our country is incalculable,” #KeirStarmer said.
…while the public expect the Reform UK leader to come out with anti-migrant rhetoric, whether they agree with it or not, it seems wholly out of place when uttered by Starmer.
There’s a good reason for this, of course. Because he is the same Keir Starmer who, when running to be #Labour leader at the start of 2020, pledged to “defend migrants’ rights” if he got the job.

in reply to Francisco Escobedo • • •@FranciscoEscobedo @ELS Oh, in my eyes this is not a bow. It's a headdress. You could have made the exact same joke with Pac-Man. Except Ms. Pac-Man and Jr. Pac-Man really do exist.
Edit: Now I see this was already mentioned in other replies.
But to make my point a bit more clear: How do you distinguish Ms. Pac-Man from Pac-Man when only low resolution graphics is available? It's the headdress.
