I grew up in a world, where people could look like themselves.

Now we live in a data driven world, where the click-through rate of every facial expression has been measured, and even successful youtubers go with the shock face for those few percent extra views.

I feel, we are losing what it means to be real, natural human beings, when everything is decided by commercial value statistics.

Why did 60,000 migrants suddenly breach the Spanish border at the Spanish exclave of Ceuta? Here is an interesting clue:

— On July 15, the US House Republicans passed a national security bill (1).

— This bill was based on a report from the Committee of Appropriations, which stated that the US is now working to help Marocco take over two Spanish territories in North Africa: Ceuta, Spanish since 1580, and Melilla, Spanish since 1497 (2).

So…

“I did not take all the cookies from the jar!”

Again and again, Trump reveals his secrets the same way children sometimes do.

Right after Secretary of State Marco Rubio says that the US administration is going after The International Criminal Court (whose job it is to prosecute war criminals), Trump immediately chips in, “There is no indication they are going after me” — because of course that fear is precisely their motive for trying to delegitimize the court.

For many months we heard Trump say about Ukraine, "I just want to stop the killing".

Now Putin is hitting Ukraine with ballistic missiles every night, while Trump is literally holding back the very patriot missiles which could stop the killing.

Washington has fallen. And the sooner Europe stops hoping for American support, the sooner Europe can fully commit to defeating Russia.

This is not Ukraine's war. This is the war which will define the future for all Europeans.

The first time Ukraine bombed the Kerch bridge, it was a complex operation.

But I hear the next time, someone will just walk onto the bridge with a bucket of purple paint and paint a Wildberries logo on the side of it.

After having charged Olympian athlete David Hearn — an innocent man — with vandalizing the Reflecting Pool, the US Justice Department now admits, the pool was never vandalized, but fell apart because of rushed work by the contractor.

In other words… Trump's Justice department admits Trump lied about vandalism, and an innocent man was falsely accused because of it.

If course he lied, his lips were moving when he said it. How does a paint or coating on concrete somehow become a "liner" that can be cut with a knife and be caused to peel? If you didn't call bullshit on this at the outset you weren't thinking clearly.

Ukraine is sending fire trucks to France.

Let me rephrase that: The country which is fighting Russia for all of Europe is now also fighting forest fires — in France — while the ballistic missiles are raining down on Kyiv.

Good morning from Volgograd, Russia, where the local Wildberries distribution center is wondering if war with Ukraine was a good idea.

It is coming home!

Have an excellent day everybody! 🌞

For everyone who remembers how Trump thought COVID could be cured by injecting bleach, it was a blessing that Anthony Fauci brought in a scientific perspective during the pandemic.

But in Trump land where the history must be rewritten if the wannabe king commands it, senators have now brought Fauci in for questioning, so they can shame him for trying to save a nation in spite of Trump's efforts to just let people die.
