From @economist.com In Fiji Australian diplomats hope to get the Millennium Challenge Corporation, an American aid agency that Elon Musk and doge forgot to destroy last year, to add several hundred million dollars for redeveloping Suva’s strategically located deepwater port.

How easy is filing a tax return considered in your country?📄 Our new 2026 Annual Report on Taxation shows that EU citizens find filing tax return: ✅ Easy (52%) ❌ Difficult (22%) 👔 while 8% leave it to professionals Full report 🔗 link.europa.eu/8DcBT6
Bar chart titled "IS FILING A TAX RETURN EASY?" showing the percentage of respondents in EU member states and the EU average who consider completing a tax return in their country as "easy" (blue bars), "difficult" (orange bars), or who do it "with professional help" (dark blue/purple bars) in 2025.

Sweden leads in ease at nearly 90%, followed by Estonia at around 80%, while Slovakia records the lowest percentage of respondents considering tax filing easy (approx. 25%) and the highest proportion finding it difficult (approx. 35%). The EU average sits at approximately 51% easy, 22% difficult, and 7% with professional help. Source: European Commission, Flash Eurobarometer FL562: Citizens’ attitudes towards taxation (2025).

Estoy leyendo una biografía de Simón Bolívar y me da tanta cagada aprender que Haití ayudó materialmente la independencia de Venezuela y Nueva Granada. 200 años mas tarde un grupo de mercenarios colombianos mató al presidente de Haití y todavía ese país no sale del caos que eso trajo.

Confused about Chat Control 1.0 (being voted on TOMORROW at 12:00!) and Chat Control 2.0? See fightchatcontrol.eu/chat-control...
 There is not one proposed “Chat Control” law — there are two, and they are moving through the EU institutions in parallel. This is why the news can seem contradictory: one Chat Control was "stopped" in March 2026, yet another is still being negotiated, and the first is now being revived. This page untangles the two.

The conversation is vain and shallow, but there's no shortage of mirth. Suddenly the doors bang open and a rude angry gang of misfit 17th aristocratic looking people, with wigs and all, break in. The music switches to punk. The gang starts boycotting the party as they protest and asault the punks.

Sketch idea: A fancy rococo banquet room with baroque music (trumpets and clavicord) on the background. A bunch of punks sip champagne and eat tiny fancy cocktail food at a social event. They mingle and laugh as they discuss how their lives fare after the great expropiation.

It is well to denounce what's wrong, but it's out of place to make such generalizations. The last thing you want is to alienate European tax payers.

If anything, the colombian government has been proactively trying to stop colombians from engaging in mercenary work. Some colombians have also joined the Russian side, as well as the RSF in Sudan.

The raid in Venezuela is deeply concerning. Maduro's victims deserve justice but the US approach to it will likely en up in greater conflict and suffering for the whole region. China will later use this as an argument to use force rather than peaceful means to reunite with Taiwan.

We got back from Sweden by boat. I got us a room at the 9th deck with fine carpets, while I booked one for my sister low on the 2nd deck with the peasants. I joked about her partying with the Irish 😂 Little did we know that the sea would be quite rocky and scary because of the tail of a storm 🌊 ⛈️

I'm very disappointed at the rollback of EU emissions commitment @consilium.europa.eu @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu You're selling out the future of the planet because EU automakers failed to adapt. The outcome will be mediocre: Neither preventing global warming nor adapting fast enough to compete.

We visited the aquarium at crete, near heraklion. It's housed in a former American military base (from ww2? Cold war? 🤷 The turtle was gorgeous. We were the only ones. Crete is a great destination off season: everything is affordable, almost no tourists and 25° C when Helsinki is 1° 🌞🏖️
