  • The vote in the 193-member General Assembly to reappoint Türk was 144-10, with 13 abstentions.

    Yet another UN general assembly vote that shows where these countries really stand. They’re all playing their familiar roles.

    USA

    U.S. deputy ambassador Jeff Bartos warned (…)
    “Make no mistake, if this assembly tolerates procedural overreach, backroom deals and the misuse of U.N. posts, there will be consequences. The United States will immediately reassess our engagement, participation and funding.”

    The Trump administration already owes nearly $4 billion to the U.N. for its regular dues and for the separate budget for U.N. peacekeeping operations.

    Russia

    Dmitry Chumakov, said Guterres had sown discord among U.N. members and accused Türk of “political bias” and promoting “Western geopolitical interests under the pretext of concern for human rights.”

    EU

    The EU can’t be said to always be pro human rights, but they are for this guy, which basically means he can’t be too radical.

    I am ready to hit the ground running, even though I can’t actually run because I’m still healing from getting dozens of stitches in my vagina.

    My type of humor. Didn’t know McSweeneys could be so cynical.

    And speaking of breast milk, it’s no problem that you barged into my office while I was pumping, even though I have a sign on the door that says MOM BREAK. PLEASE KNOCK. It could happen to anyone.

    You’re right, I haven’t talked that much about my baby. That’s not because earlier I thought of how his newborn smell is fading from his head and I’m losing opportunities to breathe it in, and it made me so depressed that I cried in the car for fifteen minutes. It’s because I’m so jazzed to instead talk about the new AI interface that was integrated into our client-management software and to use words like “optimize” and “paradigm shift.”

    Stating the obvious here, but this was clearly written by a mother.
