President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa exposes Trump for lying, after Trump falsely claimed South Africa is deliberately killing white farmers, and that South Africa had refused to pass on the G20 presidency they have held in 2025. Based on these lies, Trump has announced South Africa will not be able to participate in the next G20 summit held in in Miami next year — as if it is up to the Trump regime to decide who is member of the G20.
Trump's most obvious lie about Ukraine yet: When asked about the Ukraine peace deal, Trump again tried to drive a wedge between Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people by falsely claiming the peace deal as it stands is loved by the Ukrainian people, but Zelenskyy had not even read it. This makes zero sense. How could the Ukrainian people love a peace deal, they do not know? There has been no poll about the deal which is not yet finished. As always, Trump's imagination is just freestyle rapping.
In my neighborhood, I often see parcel delivery trucks from 5 different transport companies wasting energy to drive to the same homes on the same day. This is unregulated capitalism. Then comes trash day, and 1 company arrives with 1 garbage truck and empties all the trash cans in 1 go. This is regulated capitalism. The municipality decided only 1 company could win the garbage truck service job. They offer up the job every couple of years, 1 company wins, and we all save CO2 emissions.
I wonder if European Volkswagen drivers in the 1940s drove around with a sign on their cars saying "I bought this before Hitler invaded Poland".
EU politicians are still paying money to this guy, to use the social medium he controls, where his algorithm decides which voters they reach or do not reach. image
After about 100 posts from The Karen of Darkness claiming that the EU is censoring social media, Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski has had enough. image
In the US, ICE is now detaining native Americans and accusing them of being someone who does not belong. You read that right: The immigrants are attempting to deport the natives, accusing them of being immigrants. If this was a movie script it would be rejected for lack of realism.
This blew my mind: Today I learned that planet Earth has a sea slug which can do photosynthesis like plants do. The coolest part: It looks like a wood snail and a kale leaf had a baby. #TIL #offtopic
Every Christmas small stands pop up in my city to service the many additional Christmas shoppers. This one was roasting almonds and it smelled delicious. image
Neville Chamberlain has been ridiculed since 1938 for coming back to the UK and waving his peace agreement with Hitler, as if anyone has ever been able to get a trustworthy deal with a psychopathic killer. But Chamberlain made the mistake of trusting Hitler only once. Trump has made that mistake throughout 2025. It has been 319 days since Trump would end the Ukraine war in 24 hours. And Trump still thinks there is a deal to be made with the psychopathic killer in the Kremlin. image
