The happiness of most people is not ruined by great catastrophes or fatal errors, but by the repetition of slowly destructive little things.

From scrolling through the news to streaming your favourite shows or debating with friends in the bar, democracy in the #EU makes our everyday #freedoms #possible.
Itโs hard to #imagine #life without them. Yet the #rights and freedoms we enjoy today were not always #guaranteed - they were #built and #defended over #generations.
Today, #democratic #principles are #increasingly #underpressure, including in #Europe. But together we can stem the tide.

Madan Kumar Universe Chapter 2 on Instagram: "Donald Trump shared an AI-generated video targeting Stephen Colbert after the final episode of The Late Show. The clip shows Trump throwing Colbert into a dumpster and then dancing to โYMCA.โ Critics called the video childish, disrespectful, and another example of toxic political culture. Many people online said powerful leaders should focus on real public issues instead of spreading mockery and personal attacks through AI-generated content."

Techdirt [Unofficial]Post Loss Clarity: Bill Cassidy Rediscovers His Spine As A Lame Duck Senator
Drew ๐ต๐ญOur neighbour (he bought an adjacent hectare from us) did a farm "blessing" today (priest, religious friends, holy water, it's a whole thing here).
Wife went but correctly assumed I would not be interested.
Then our farm manager came back to the house and said the blessing was done, they have food, would I like to join?
Join a large group of extremely religious people to make small talk while trying to eat decorously and deflect intrusive questions about my life?
There are so many nopes (five, to be precise) in that sentence...
Needless to say I declined politely.

"Net #migration to the #UK stood at an estimated 171,000 in the year to December 2025, down nearly a half (48%) from 331,000 in the previous 12 months, according to new figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS)." And #immigration is a "hot button" #political #issue, so much so that Andy #Burnham has to jettison his #principles (if he had any) & agree with Shabana #Mahmood & her #policies on the subject?
Remember who you are
Every time I left the house, my dad would always say, โRemember who you are.โ Now that I am a father, this is a very profound thing to me. At the time I was like, โDad, what the hell? Youโre so weird. Like Im gonna forget who I am? What are you saying?โ Now, Iโm like, โGosh, that guy was kind of smart.โ

Ideally like stars
Ideals are like stars; You will not succeed in touching them with your hands. But, like seafaring men on the desert of waters, you choose them as our guides, and following them reach your destiny.

unspeakablehorrorI really think it's vitally important in politics to avoid wasting time defending the actions and statements of fallible and inconsistent individuals and instead to articulate the principles by which you operate and the knowledge and reasoning that informs your view of the world, and to always try to refine that knowledge and reasoning.
The former is fickle and easily co-opted by the establishment, whereas the latter is the only way to gain some measure of resistence to such co-optation.
