So all my Canadian friends tell me...

It'd be somewhere like Toronto or Vancouver. :)

:(

Having one of those months where I really need to convince myself not to move to Canada.

Blair's at the age now where it's practically impossible to get erect without an illegal war.

The other thing is ofc that her country is literally causing all sorts of shit right now and she's thinking she can get a free pass when she visits the countries that her president is screwing?

Nooooope.

Also, every American I know who didn't vote for Trump is very vocal about that. So... :p

Stormy space weather may be garbling messages from aliens, new research suggests Researchers who listen for signs of non-human life say signals ‘can slip below detection thresholds, even if it’s there’

Is this the galactic equivalent of "she's probably trying to call me"?

Can anyone remind me how much taxpayer money Liz still regularly gets for the matter of weeks she served disastrously as PM?

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

Surrey couple tried claiming neighbour's land with garden gnome A Westcott couple claimed a small patch of grass outside their neighbour's home belonged to them.

This is the Surreyest article I've seen in a while.

Ugly American stereotype in living color:

Wondering if the media would've chosen "honored" as the verb if Obama had saluted fallen soldiers in a fucking baseball cap

I’m sorry, doing this in a baseball cap sold by your campaign store is deliberately disrespecting the dead.

Anybody else feel deeply uncomfortable whenever supposedly-progressive Americans snarl about how "mentally ill" Trump allegedly is?

Trump convenes ‘Shield of Americas’ summit with 12 Latin American leaders President called for regional cooperation in western hemisphere to counter China economic and political interests

Is there anything America does that isn't tacky af?

I'm still at a loss as to where Germany's so-called "liberal" parties are when teenagers can get arrested for holding up protest signs mildly insulting to the country's leader.

Why aren't the usual suspects screaming "Freiheit"? Or is that concept just for cars?

Poor Susanne Daubner. 😭😭😭

Usage notes: - The collective noun "shower of gobshites" ("group of idiots") is quite common in Ireland.

If this snippet from the Wiktionary page won't convince Germany's young people to make "gobshite" the next Jugendwort des Jahres... I'm not sure what will.

If a company is so willing to talk about how much they value their women employees, the only reason they wouldn't publish their gender pay gap is because that would show just how much they don't.

In 2025 the gap in Berlin tech widened to 20%.

24.5% for leadership positions.

So show us yours. 👍

Sorry but the ol' IWD LinkedIn posts have kicked in and in Germany we don't have mandatory pay gap reporting like the UK does.

Luckily these (men) CEOs really value their women employees. Cos they keep saying they do. So publishing how much they truly value them should be easy. 👍

"As CEO of ThisGermanyTechFirm I want to say thanks to the women who work so hard to keep our business..."

Publish your gender pay gap.

If you truly value the women who work for you, you'll have no shame in publishing it.

It's literally the one bit of structural sexism you can solve.

Publish it.

Screen cap from Mitchell and Webb with the subtitle "have you tried 'kill all the poor'?"

Labour cabinet meetings in 2026.

Home Office may forcibly remove child asylum seekers from UK in handcuffs Move is part of scheme to target families for expedited voluntary removals before enforced removal proceedings

And the dull Labour stormtroopers still can't fathom why their voters are abandoning them for the Greens.

What next? "Turning the orphan crusher on was a difficult decision but it was right for this country."??

I know my crows have an odd fascination with the camera/back of my phone because of its reflectiveness and I guess maybe because it looks like an eye. If it's something novel they're known to investigate. Although maybe they just value their privacy. 😅

Solely a guess, but if it's too heavy for it to actually carry and it is only managing to toss it to places, I'd suspect it's simple curiosity. Unusual item... Novel... Might contain food... Let's throw it around and find out. 😅

Auch auf die Frage, „Es würde besser laufen, wenn mehr Frauen in der Regierung und in Unternehmen wichtige Posten hätten“... viertletzten Platz.

Eine Grafik von IPSOS / IWD aus dem Jahr 2006, die die Antworten der Länder auf die Frage „Ich sehe mich als Feministin” zeigt. Deutschland ist mit nur 28% der Antworten, die diese Aussage treffen, Vorletzter.

Auf die Frage „Ich sehe mich als Feministin“ liegt Deutschland mit 28% auf einem traurigen viertletzten Platz.

Einfach peinlich. Aber kaum überraschend.
