Is the way the people of Greenland are responding to America threatening to invade their country really news? Think that one over in your head for a minute.

I made a joke with my friends in 2024, back when Harris was announced to be the presidential candidate for the Democratic party

Facism or woman, which way Western man?

Turns out America chose fascism

Those who didn’t vote in the 2024 election are equally culpable to the Trumpoids in my eyes. It was very clear what Trump stood for, yet they didn’t bother to go out and vote against fascism.

“surprised”

Most people aren’t cheering that we are rearming, but they understand that it is a necessary evil.

Russia is right at our doorsteps and is increasingly aggressive. So we either rearm in the hope that that threat keeps Russia at bay, or we don’t and will hopelessly lose if Russia invades.

Personally I prefer the first option.

At this moment they are discussing doing that, but that does not mean it has already passed or is going to pass

I believe the point is not to replace the existing carreer soldiers, but to train up part of the population to increase the size of your reserve forces.

That way, if war were to break out, you have a pool of trained civilians to draw from until you finish training your new recruits.

Fire the trade bazooka!
Quality news headline right there

Expect more to follow. America is clearly showing that they cannot be trusted as an ally, so countries are going to make the calculation whether it might just be better to align with China instead

Haven’t we always been at war with Eurasia?

Okay, but then don’t come crying that your “allies” aren’t helping you the next time y’all decide to invade the Middle East

I would still recommend tweaking the provided text a little to be more personal to you, but it’s a really good baseline to work from.

Emoji aren’t strictly prescriptive with their meaning. They are generic symbols that can have many meanings in different contexts and cultures.

The name of an emoji is more a suggestion than anything else.

It’s a BBC article, so it stands to reason that this is about the UK government.

From the coverage that I read in my national newspaper (which admittedly isn’t Slovakian) the speed limit applies to everyone on the sidewalk. Not just to e-bikes and e-scooters, but also to pedestrians.

The speed limit is set to 6 km/h. Joggers and people making a sprint to catch a bus, would easily be breaking that speed limit.

From my understanding a significant portion of asylum claims in Europe came from Syrian refugees.

In December of 2024 the former Syrian president Assad was deposed and the country has (seemingly) gotten a lot more stable since. So it makes sense that asylum claims would be down in the first half of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

This is a good development. Not only does it mean that people will be able to go home in relative safety, it also takes away a lot of the ammunition (the fallout from the refugee crisis that has been ongoing since 2015) that the right-wing populists and fascists all over Europe have been using to gain power.

The article speculates that the increase in pedestrian deaths is due to e-bikes and e-scooters. I’m not convinced that this speculation is based on actual data though.

After a bit of digging I found a government resource on road fatalities:
https://catalogue.data.infrastructure.gov.au/dataset/australian-road-deaths-database

This data does not seem to track the vehicle that caused the road fatality, unless that vehicle is a bus, heavy-rigid truck, or articulated truck. So there would be no way to determine from the data available whether the increase in fatalities is due to e-bikes and e-scooters.
