British Prime Minister #KeirStarmer said Monday he is stepping down as leader of the governing #LabourParty & will leave office within weeks, scarcely 2 years after being elected in a landslide. #Starmer says he will remain caretaker prime minister until a new Labour leader is chosen by the party. Starmer is the sixth prime minister in a decade to announce a premature departure.

I imagine that a place called The Garden of Chaos wouldn't be popular -- I mean, who wants to immerse themselves in havoc, confusion and fear?
Oh, wait, we do have Garden of Chaos, and it's remarkably, sadly popular -- its other name is "The News."

Hit by what is called a "heat dome" of warm air from northern Africa, people in western Europe turned to fans and fountains as they endured a record-breaking heat wave, with temperatures set to soar even further. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2026/05/27/climate-change/spring-heat-wave-europe/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #eu #europe #heatwaves #climatechange
Brits should read this ⬇️ exchange between Epstein and Thiel.
Epstein explicitly mentioned Brexit as a successful step to destabilize societies in order to create profit opportunities.
This email between #Epstein and JD Vance’s tech oligarch benefactor fascist Peter Thiel where they plan to “collapse” society to create investment opportunities for themselves.
Epstein and Thiel also met with the UN ambassador to Russia together. Russia carried out successful hybrid warfare operations against the United Kingdom (Brexit) and the United States (Trump-for-President) in 2016.

Children can now be put in camps. The far-right cheers and chants "send them back" after the vote on the 'return regulation'. This is not our Europe.
The whole crisis narrative has gone too far.
The Europe we believe in and fight for is all about human rights and dignity. We should return to those values.
Join the fight for a different Europe!

For the young'uns who don't know, the #CircleJerks are an #oldSchool #hardcore #punk #band
And here we see the Circle Jerks confronting a fan suffering from the well known #MAGA cringe of going "I wish my favorite band would stay away from #politics" (like #RATM 😂)
🤪
Hilariously unaware their favorite band never changed, the MAGA #chud simply became a zombie #bigot
Unexpected bonus: Bahasa #Indonesia subtitles

« Il n’y a pas de souveraineté numérique sans autonomie industrielle. »
Pour Henri Verdier, la maîtrise de nos infrastructures et de nos technologies est au cœur de la souveraineté numérique. Un enjeu stratégique pour l'Europe comme pour la France.

We humans have the ability to build beautiful things or ugly ones, to seek out peace or war, to do good or evil, to reach for the sublime or wallow in the slop.
And it's an individual decision, one we make multiple times, each and every day.

EU needs to make a stand on Play Integrity. If app devs enforce Play Integrity, this means only Google Certified devices can use banking, etc. This excludes all alternative mobile OS. No #postmarketOS, no #SailfishOS, no Android derivatives #GrapheneOS etc. You don't need Play Integrity. If someone is capable to install or use alternative OS, they sure know what to install or not install, it is on their responsibility. Using non-root but bootloader unlocked device (otherwise can't use alternative OS) does not make my device less secure. On the contrary, it is using an up to date OS with the latest security patches. Do we really want all mobile devices have to be Google Certified? No. #mobile #integrity #bootloader #unlocked #nonsense #Europe
🚨 New post alert 📝
A deep dive into #WSocial with some fascinating findings: candid statements about their motives, a Greta Thunberg connection, potential AI plans (!!!)
Why write about it again? I still had so many questions after publishing my first article.
I spent 3 weeks watching every interview I could find and connecting the dots.
I hope you'll enjoy this piece:
the systemic and fatal mistake of modern day #monopoly #capitalism = modern day #feudalism not #education or #intelligence earns most #money, no whoever owns #assets everyone else is dependant on = #exploitation = will ultimately lead to less #innovation + destruction of #mankind,, #rich vs #poor #inequality growing rapidly = #collapse of #society thank you
= no matter how #smart #people or #government are or act: will lose game to whoever prints #money and buys + owns the #assets (#bank, #centralbank)
the #solution: every Dollar or Euro or Pesos invested in your own #INDEPENDENCE from the #financesystem is well invested. #water, #food, #energy, DO IT NOW!
whoever is interested in the details: in short: in #USA private #banks own the #FED in #Europe mostly #gov banks own the #ECB but https://generation-nachhaltigkeit.de/ein-gespraech-mit-der-aktuell-staerksten-ki-claude-sonnet-4-6-max-deine-loesungen-fuer-eine-glueckliche-und-nachhaltige-zukunft-fuer-alle-wie-nachhaltig-ist-das-fiat-schuld-geld-zentralbank-system/
🚨 #Russia likely used shadow ships to launch drones over #Europe that repeatedly disrupted civilian aviation, as it monitored #military sites & tested the air #defenses of #NATO nations, acc/to a report published Thursday by the #IISS think tank.
The report, which was shared before publication with AP, plotted 144 suspected drone sightings across Europe, including in NATO members #Germany, #France, #Belgium, the #Netherlands, the #UK, & #Denmark, between 2024 & 2026.
#Russia Hammers #Ukraine Capital in Deadly Attacks
At least 18 people were killed in #Kyiv, the local authorities said. Ukraine’s president had warned that Moscow was preparing a “massive strike” as his country’s forces have hit deeper into Russian territory.

#NATO weighs options to defend #Europe as the #US plans for conflicts elsewhere
European countries & Canada had waited impatiently for over a year for the #Trump administration to detail its plans after it warned that Europe is no longer a top US #security priority. They knew cuts were coming, but not how big, fast or what kind.

In shift, Trump praises #Zelensky, says he will let #Ukraine build Patriot missiles
#Trump kicked off the second day of the #NATO summit in Turkey Wednesday by restating his “need” to control #Greenland, blasting #Europe #allies as “hopeless” & threatening countries that did not support the #US - #Israel #war on #Iran.

for confused Europeans working through the shifting sands of the #geopolitics of the modern world:
2016: #USA is the #military "protector of the free world"
2026: #Ukraine is "protector of the free world" ( #USA has devolved into that incoherent bigot uncle you do your best to ignore at family gatherings)
adjust your budgets and attitudes accordingly
