- Turns out she managed to get the selfie before she was mauled.
- It's a great selfie. Gotta give her that much.
- As Trump slides into madness, so seemingly does the crowd of people that he likes to have standing behind him. Very soon, they will be joined by a firefighter, three toddlers in a trench coat, a wookiee, the bottom half of a giraffe, a mariachi band, and the bony remains of Charlton Heston.

- Why am I supposed to take it as a positive that someone was a "man of faith"? Tell me that they were a "man of reason" and I'll take it as a positive.
- The worst thing about being an atheist is knowing that Trump is 79 years old and believing that only while he still lives will he be able to pay for everything he's done.
- Is anyone else seeing this? Read the last page... www.justice.gov/epstein/file...
- "I was 13 years old when Donald J Trump raped me."
- I hate how, in discussions about whether videos of current events are AI-generated or not, agendas have overwhelmingly come to overshadow the pursuit of truth. I was studying videos of Alex Pretti kicking the car taillight tonight, trying to find out which are real and which are AI... (cont.)
- It's really difficult now. I've done this a lot, and it used to be easy. I want to look at what others find too, and see if they're right. Clues that it's AI and clues that it's real. The problem is that people overwhelmingly see what fits their agenda and whether they want the videos to be real.
- Many claims of AI are obviously wrong. People see AI-evidence where there is none. People are mostly bad at recognizing AI, but they're also REALLY bad at recognizing reality, when something being AI is what fits their narrative. And what's worse are the reactions when you present your arguments.

- There is to me something especially sad about seeing how deeply corrupted all the official channels of communication have become. Crazy individuals will be crazy individuals, but it used to always seem like official institutional channels of communication would remain professional, if not impartial.

- Reposted by Nikolaj BichelConservationists warn that realistic AI-generated wildlife images are fueling misinformation — making dangerous encounters seem normal, wasting authorities’ time on false sightings, and stoking fear of animals. Experts say it risks eroding trust, encouraging persecution, and harming conservation.

- Reposted by Nikolaj BichelA new leak reveals just how far Trump is going to decimate the National Park Service. The playbook goes like this: crush morale, force rangers to quit, hollow out the agency and let parks fall into disrepair. Then they'll call parks “mismanaged” and invite private interests in to pillage them.

- In other news...
- I think Melania's movie is just about ready for a FIFA Oscar.
- That is one hell of a rare attack, and sounds like an unusually human-habituated snow leopard.
- And a very stupid tourist, but that's not nearly as rare.
- @snowleopardnet.bsky.social have there even been other recorded snow leopard attacks on people?
- I know Epstein is still a big thing and all that, but someone needs to have a chat with the US about their weird obsession with pedophiles. I don't think they know that it's possible to disagree with someone or dislike them without calling them a pedophile.
- Reposted by Nikolaj BichelThe president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.
- We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century. snyder.substack.com/p/lies-and-l...
- Reposted by Nikolaj BichelThey know what they say is untrue, they do not care it is untrue. The media know that what they repeat is untrue, they do not care it is untrue. Their supporters know what they are told is untrue, they do not care it is untrue. Telling the truth is not enough, unless people care about the truth.
- Reposted by Nikolaj BichelNoem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"
- My sister and I have quite a compacted Wordfeud game going here. Hard to make progress now.
- Reposted by Nikolaj BichelKash decided to do a news conference on an airplane tarmac for some reason so he has to yell and cannot hear questions from reporters lol
- Give it a day or two and Trump will say that Carney can join, but only if he eats an earthworm.
- The official White House account is posting AI-altered photos of protesters. In a normal country, that would be a scandal of its own, lawsuits would be filed, and people would be fired.
- Board of peace.
- You wouldn't think that dropping a bomb on something called a "Board of Peace" could make the world so much better, but here we are.
- This speech by Zelensky is a miss, I'm afraid. Or part of it is. His criticism of sending just a few dozen soldiers to Greenland assumes they were sent there to put up a meaningful fight. They were sent there to signal how many different countries you'd be attacking, if you attacked Greenland.
- Sending soldiers to Greenland is not the same as when Europe assists Ukraine. One is politics to prevent war, and one is an active war.
- Pure joy seeing Trump coming down the stairs tonight, repeating "great deal for everybody" over and over like a demented old man, and as if doing so could convince himself that he didn't just get his ass handed to him and didn't get any of what he wanted, least of all ownership of Greenland.
- Denmark weren't even in Davos today, and Mark Rutte sure as hell hasn't given up anything important on Denmark's behalf. They probably just reworded the existing agreement a bit, so now he can build his golden shower and pretend like he wasn't allowed to do that before.
- I need all European leaders in Davos today to say: "Fuck off, you raving lunatic." Not in diplomatic words. In exactly those words. Stop trying to reason with madness.
- I'm a big fan of Top Gun Macron.
- Obviously there should be no football world cup in the US. If not to boycott Trump then to boycott FIFA. This shouldn't even be a discussion. But just as obviously, the world cup will happen, because the world of sports never chooses what is right when it can also choose money.
