Imagine how I feel doing regular insider trading trainings based on US laws, in full awareness of the weirdly prescient trades of numerous high-profile Republicans.

As I said elsewhere: This is, inadvertently, an argument for kicking the absolute shit out of the club. No, you cannot take those moments (and medals) from players. Or fans. You can only take them from the club, so you better take them from the club and then some.

Also worth noting that the Linke's position on Russia still isn't miles away - they oppose weapons deliveries to Ukraine and want to drastically reduce sanctions on Russia. (Though in fairness they have a very different stance on refugees, including Ukrainians)

I think it also reinforces, however inadvertently, the point that you have to kick the shit out of the club. You can't take those moments from the players or fans. You can only take them from the club. So you have to take them from the club.

That substantial portions of the European and US Left struggle with the idea that it is possible to condemn criminal actions by the Israeli government while also condemning the vicious brutality of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime continues to baffle me.

I know bringing the dead back to life is controversial, but can you think of another way to - pardon the expression - revive the Tory party?

Historical comparisons to Trump often fail because even history's worst villains and buffoons existed in the shadow of ideas (including terrible ones): religion, divine rights of kings, nationalism, communism, social Darwinism. Trump is entirely unburdened by ideas. He's pure id.

Failure to maintain party discipline needed to prevent CDU Sachsen Anhalt MPs from lending votes to the AfD almost guarantees a Linke-led coalition government in Berlin SPD, Green or Linke dealmaking aren't putting German democracy at risk. But the CDU leadership's weakness is

It's also simply where the money is if we're talking government budgets. By all means fleece billionaires, and that'll definitely help, but it's no gamechanger. Shoot all the billionaires in GER and sell their shit and you've got less than a year of public spending.

Sorry, not exactly sure. It doesn't seem immediately related to Brexit (other non EU-parties are in the active members), but might be something indirect or totally unrelated. If anybody does know, I'd be curious too.

Dennis @bododenden.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I think this roughly translates as "Lads you better sort that shit out sharpish, or else". Which, besides, the obvious, is terrible news for any attempt to look more pro-Europe than Labour. "You're all secret Brexiteers" doesn't really land that well when your own European party is Big Mad at you.

I am 95% sure that JRM got picked for the interview because Carlson thought he'd get a favourable hearing from him. If there was a TV show where Tucker Carlson goes to meet all the people he thinks will agree with him, and then they just go "What? No. Not at all. WHAT?", I'd actually watch TV.

The PMs concern is also that even to people who don't give a toss about footie, getting browbeaten by a government that swore up and down it wasn't seeking influence via footie is bound to be a terrible look.
