Adding insult to injury:
The US-based company operates an AI training platform named Outlier, which employs more than 900,000 “freelance” workers.
Or rather more injury to injury.
Thanks noyb, we really need to stay vigilant. It’s clear that US companies have almost no oversight at home, and expect the same to be the case everywhere.
As of the fourth quarter of 2025, there were approximately 201.82 million people employed in the European Union.
So a fifth of the EU workforce already. Damn.
Yeah it’s pretty cynical. Orwellian. 2+2=5 type of shit.
I totally agree, and thanks for new info re the “law on ethnic unity” (shudder).
I remain skeptical though.
Ah well, let’s see what he actually does. Maybe he will suprise us all and at least mention some of these things.
Ctrl-Shift-t restores a recently closed tab in my browser, and does nothing on my desktop.
Don’t really see the symbolic here.
Ctrl-Alt-t however opens a terminal.

Weridest bumpr stickers I ever saw.
Been there, done that. Different type of car though: a 1970s campervan driving up the mountains.
My experience: as soon as I start overtaking them they suddenly find the gas pedal.
11 more maybe?
If you didn’t already
Just like Hungary was probably classified as a mild autocracy until recently, yet their wikipedia reads like this now:
Since 2024, the country has been considered “no longer a full democracy” by the EU, and is generally said to have democratically backslid since 2010, when the Fidesz–KDNP Party Alliance led by Viktor Orbán won a two-thirds parliamentary supermajority and adopted a new constitution of Hungary. However, the victory of Péter Magyar in the 2026 Hungarian parliamentary election may bring about changes, as he promised to restore the order of democracy.
I for one hope we will see a similar edit for Serbia soon. That’s what OP and many others are celebrating right now.
Good!
I still maintain that MAGA’s double win in the USA has emboldened right-wing populism around the world.
It has definitely peaked, but to fall off globally I think it needs MAGA to fail, the USA to return to some semblance of normalcy.
Oh and while most right-wing populists would probably go in an authoritarian direction if in power, them winning an election is not authoritarianism per se. There’s several countries right now that suffer from that plague, but they’re still democratic (and not likely to become authoritarian as long as the neofascists have to make coalitions with less extreme parties to be in power).
But yeah, fuck fascism cloaked in populism, may it die.
Traditionally Catholicism has never been even slightly compatible with Socialism. Except that one time in the 1930s/40s. And that wasn’t really socialism.
I keep coming back to the horrified astonishment I felt in late 2025. It was kinda excusable in 2016. But after already having seen what he did to the country for 4 years, and then after Jan 6…
And mind you, my demented, ever conservative, ever pro-capitalist and btw also pro-apartheid father, even he thinks Trump is an idiot who should be nowhere near political power.
What’s the answer here? Seems the USA have a deeper problem. I think it’s that particularly poisonous combination of consumer capitalism on steroids, and generations of lack of or plain bad education that’s often more aligned with capitalist interests. Oh and the history of “The American Dream”, i.e. hope that you’re the one out of a thousand who succeeds in raping everything and everyone around you for financial gain.
Fair enough, but most similar articles right here go something like “I’m still going to vote Republican but seriously, how could he do this to me!”
Yes it is. Weaponized ignorance would fit better.
Pinnipeds (pronounced /ˈpɪnɪˌpɛdz/), commonly known as seals, are widely distributed and diverse carnivorous, fin-footed, semiaquatic, mostly marine mammals, belonging to the clade Pinnipedia. They comprise the extant families Odobenidae (whose only living member is the walrus), Otariidae (the eared seals: sea lions and fur seals), and Phocidae (the earless seals, or true seals), with 34 extant species and more than 50 extinct species described from fossils.
Lyrically, the song is often considered to be a direct tribute to Syd Barrett. However, on the documentary The Story of Wish You Were Here, Gilmour and Waters separately describe the original concept that differs from this interpretation. Waters, who mainly wrote the lyrics complementing Gilmour’s initial riff idea and subsequent joint composition, describes the lyrics as being directed at himself. Gilmour, on the other hand, recognises that he never performs the song without remembering Syd Barrett. Waters later adds that the song is nevertheless open to interpretation.

It’s not that. It’s happened on perfectly straight roads as well.
And don’t tell me what I have experienced.
