The facial expression on passport photos should be neutral, weird that this gentleman’s photo was waived through, he is obviously smiling

I have several Jewish friends and I can confirm they do not hate themselves. It seems you hate Jews though. Which most likely means you hate yourself.

Old, outdated news: Bob Vylan’s frontman Bobby Vylan’s initial German entry ban has already been revoked by authorities.

It’s IP theft.

I couldn’t stand the CO2 guilt. On top of that, it must be fu***ng mind-numbing.

All my friends went cold turkey when I canceled all Facebook products two years ago. I switched to signal; some were using it already, some followed me, some use both. Screw the rest; they can use SMS, or snail mail, it turns out they were unreflective jerks to begin with. Culling is always refreshing. Admittedly, with signal being USA based, I will probably switch to a EU service soon, so the fun starts all over 🤪

Now it really looks lonely.

Who is “they”?

Can you give examples of such cases? Really important once?

From how these cases evolve, most likely at some time point there will be a court case; we have seen that happening (Epstein, Weinstein… there is always a bit of delay). In the meantime, the ICC’s new prosecutor will settle into the job and prosecute people. And yes, Trumpee will try to destroy the ICC, but he is trying to destroy so many things I’ve lost count. The ICC has full support of 125 countries (who are, understandably, keeping quiet, Kahn has become a liability), the USA and Israel never were among them.

The ICC came out of the treaty of Rome, it has 125 countries as members. Most of those countries will be mostly embarrassed by Kahn’s behaviors, will be glad it is over, and will want to move on. My source at the ICC says all her colleagues are happy he is gone. https://www.theguardian.com/law/2026/jul/16/icc-staffer-talks-publicly-about-alleged-sexual-abuse-by-chief-prosecutor-karim-khan

I have a colleague who works at the court in The Hague. Next to that, I have read the reporting about Kahn and the victim https://www.theguardian.com/law/2026/jul/16/icc-staffer-talks-publicly-about-alleged-sexual-abuse-by-chief-prosecutor-karim-khan. The evidence against Kahn is simply too strong, and he simply could not be maintained in this job. Apparently the majority of people at the court are happy he is gone.

Everything else is just context.

Only if it jumps over on you.

Both politics and taxes are complex topics. Many promises made during elections do not crystallize into real plans, it is always a give-and-take, politics is always a case of negotiation. On top of that many politicians simply lie, to lure in the voters (Trump comes to mind).

They can’t know any better; it will take years for them to hear what atrocities Russia has being carrying out.

Works for me.

We put kitchen/organic waste into brown bins (it is used to create gas), packaging materials, plastics and paper into the green bin, non-refundable glass into the blue bin, metal is collected separately, and the little that is left over in the grey bin.

I write the number on the inside of my hand, so that’s the side I’ll will show (the other side of the hand wouldn’t make sense, unless I would want to check what I had written).

It is still the best political system.
