Diplomacy requires a very high dose of emotional intelligence which many world leaders are lacking. Self reflection drives metacognition, not lies, blame and/or a narcissistic ego.

Tragically Trump’s illegal war is.. killing US military/weapon stockpile depletion/abuse of taxpayer funds/ increased energy prices & inflation/higher consumer prices. Trump gov depleted/destroyed protection agencies & desperately-needed personnel (FBI etc) causing US national security problems!

Since the start of Donald Trump’s second term, Republicans have deployed ever more Nazi imagery and rhetoric, and espoused ideas associated with the Nazi Party, @RadioFreeTom argues. He examines how this dark fringe reached the center of the GOP:

Redistricting did not turn out how Trump wanted. So, now he is resorting to political prosecutions, ballot seizures and the threat of federal paramilitary to steal the 2026 midterms. He is normalizing the idea that his administration will take over ballot counting. We cannot let that happen.

It troubles me how easily people offer praise or admiration for figures like Pope Francis without reckoning with the deep and ongoing harm the Catholic Church has inflicted. Isn’t that a form of cultural propaganda? At what point do we stop offering pleasantries and start holding power accountable?

I've seen some of the latest polling (some) and as far as the general Australian electorate is concerned, Peter Dutton stinks like the fetid carcass of a 10-days-dead whale washed up on the shores of Desperation Beach. His stench of failure is everywhere. And a falling tide grounds all boats.

Liberal Party Lie Collector @lie-collector.bsky.social · 30/03/2025
Liberal Lies Collector Card #8: ☢️ "Our Energy Plan Using Nuclear Will Cost 44% Less" ☢️ The truth? Their modelling excludes MOST of the cost of nuclear plants! 🔄 Repost to share the truth 💾 Save now to quickly share 👇 See thread for extra details ➕ Follow for more! #auspol #factcheck #AusVotes2025
An imitation collector card, with the brand "Australian Liberal Party Lies". This is #8. The tagline is "Collect them all ... so you don't elect them all!"

The Lie section says: “Our energy plan using nuclear will cost 44% less”.

The Facts section says:
“Their modelling excludes most of the cost, because nuclear arrives late in the 25 years modelled, and the cost is spread over the 50 years after their 20 year construction.
It only includes about 16% of the cost of nuclear plants!
”

A stacked bar chart shows the annual electricity production in TWh from renewable (in green), fossil (in charcoal), and nuclear (in red) sources.
Nuclear plants can be seen only generating small amounts of energy at 2040, and significant amounts of energy from 2045 onwards.
The large bar at the right, with a timeframe of “Later”, is labelled “The other  5 / 6ths  of  the  nuclear lifetime / costs not  in  the  model”.

A small yellow line above the 2051 bar shows the energy expected from the AEMO Step Change scenario. A note says the Liberal’s nuclear plan “produces 25% less energy than AEMO’s plan they’re comparing to”.

Footnotes refer to the data being “TWh annual electricity production, ‘Nuclear alternative – Progressive’”, and the source as Frontier Economics.
