I mean, Thanos destroyed whole swathes of the universe in the hunt for the Stones the analog way. Unless they all got blipped back too? I can't remember.

As evening jogging routes go, the only surviving full circuit of Roman city walls in the world is going to take some beating. Lugo - Lucus Augusti, Galicia. 🏺🏰

The first mass deportations are mentioned in the Bible. It's been the hallmark of evil empires for as long as they existed.

Just got an ad for 'mastering Claude in 28 days'. In 28 days I could learn an actual programming language or some advanced software. I thought the whole point of AI was we wouldn't need to learn anything anymore.

Presumably the Dem House can declare the war illegal, and we'll see what happens from there

This here is what every dictator ends up believing. "I won the civil war, so I must be smart." "I won the election, I must be doing something right." "I succeeded in a coup, so I'm good in economy."

I'll say this, he would've been a great guest on Would I Lie To You.

That's one thing I think EU would insist on before starting negotiations, otherwise any change in government would put the process in jeopardy

What the hell is this framing, Guardian? Of course Ukraine won't pay attention to the dodgerings of a demented dictator. They're already at war with another one.

They're already preparing their lines of attack for the upcoming referendum. Euro is obviously a non-threat given how many countries don't have it, and even if we join Schengen on paper we could just do what Germany does and have a never-ending 'border emergency'

If it's anything like AfD, these are hardcore Nazis who wouldn't vote for any other party anyway, so don't count for much in FPTP

Possibly there's a growth from other countries that remedies this - Latin Americans during the World Cup, maybe?

Single currency is not happening, if they can't force Czechia or Romania into euro they're leaving UK alone.

Hasn't posted about *anything* other than Andy Burnham - always negatively - in months. A very peculiar form of monomania for a supposed human being.

It's almost as if politicians can actually do things

What I can't get over is the pure glee with which these guys announce potential destruction of all that is good and human. "I'm not joking guys, the new thermonuclear device can wipe out an entire city in seconds! Civilisation as you know it is over!"
