Congratulations to Navi Pillay on receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. A great choice. This is also demonstrated by the immediate reaction of the fascist criminal regime surrounding DJT—imposing sweeping sanctions on the ICC. The world is looking at the USA, and it makes us all sick to our stomachs.

The UN has voted for a reform: the world map is to be depicted more realistically by moving away from the so-called Mercator projection. This presents a more realistic representation of relative sizes—particularly for Africa. There were 164 votes in favor and 6 abstentions. One vote against: USA.

I’m sitting on the train to Berlin. Already running 60 minutes late in Hannover. Deutsche Bahn is a joke. Decades of cost-cutting have turned us into a global laughingstock. It’s infuriating. The only thing to do is tune out with some music: AnnenMayKantereit, Germany m.youtube.com/watch?v=Racx...

I am speechless. And delighted. I hadn't expected this. I have to admit that I had misjudged Aleksander Čeferin until now. All of UEFA's national associations are pulling together. Fantastic. Hopefully, they stick to this stance. Did I mention that I love Europe?

I am 66 years old and remember every World Cup since 1970, and never was the atmosphere in the stadium after the match as subdued as it was today. The question is whether it was solely down to Infantino and Trump.

I long for the time when football is played again in stadiums filled with people who actually know the game—here in Europe, for instance. The stadiums might not always be the most impressive, but are packed with enthusiastic fans who are interested in the football itself, not in having a picnic

Speaking of Europe: this Thursday, the International Charlemagne Prize of Aachen will be awarded to Mario Draghi in my hometown. A worthy recipient, in my opinion—unlike, for instance, Henry Kissinger, who received the prize in 1987 for reasons I found completely incomprehensible.

So you attacked a sovereign state and kidnapped its president without a declaration of war. I had nothing but dislike for Maduro, but that's beside the point. The US is now definitely a rogue state, no different from Iran, Russia, and North Korea. Shame on you ALL!

Just a reminder, prompted by the reports about Trump's Halloween party at a time when millions of Americans are losing their SNAP benefits: Marie Antoinette is said to have remarked, "Let them eat cake." She probably never said it, but the fact remains, she still lost her head. Think about that.

A few days off and a trip to one of my favorite cities: Berlin, the capital of my country. The "Festival of Lights" started today. Simply beautiful. The city is colorful, diverse, and peaceful. No Gestapo called ICE, no soldiers on the streets, no fascists at the levers of power...
The Brandenburg Gate is colorfully illuminated at the Festival of Lights. Among other things, the slogan "We Love Berlin" can be seen.

Donald Trump's self-proclaimed genius is so well hidden beneath a dense layer of ignorance, a slathered on veneer of stupidity, and an imaginary Iron Dome of responsibility deflection, that not even his most fervent admirers can actually see that single neuron of intelligence hanging by a thread.

French President Macron has invited Trump to the reopening of Notre-Dame. The ducking, bowing, fawning and begging for mercy has already begun. I never thought Macron would start it. To put it in a phrase we use: I can't eat as much as I want to vomit.

To be clear, the real reason republicans don’t give a shit about Pete Hegseth being a rapist as well as being highly unqualified to be Secretary of Defense is because they voted for and are led by a highly unqualified rapist convicted felon. Hope that clears things up a bit.

No man has done more to undermine our Democracy than Sen McConnell (R-KY) He took to the floor to complain that two federal judges said they weren’t going to resign because Trump won. Remember in 2020 he was actively seeking out judges to resign so the Trump could replace them. Oh the hypocrisy!!

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.
