That specific email was when I knew my mom was irrevocably radicalized.

She wasn’t, and still isn’t, religious. But she was fucking convinced that Obama was literally the antichrist.

The article discusses this.

This is the result of the PiS, Law & Justice Party, the previous right wing dickbags that constantly undermined rule of law who was voted out (pretty resoundingly, as I understand it) in 2023.

Tusk, the current PM of Poland, has made promises and provided an action plan to bring Poland back into compliance with Article 7, some of which are currently under way.

The EC has acknowledged this change of circumstances and subsequently ratcheted down its own response, releasing some of the previously withheld funds, for which it was necessary for Poland to be released from Article 7 in the meantime.

This is kinda huge. Germany is one of Israel’s most ardent supporters. It’s really great to see such a clear and concise answer that confirms a commitment to international rule of law over international politics.

Edit: I hope I did not speak too soon, as this seems like relatively positive news. However I am having a hard time finding the original Politico source that this link refers to. I am also unaware of this source’s integrity. Does anybody else have another source; or the original Politico source that is referred to in this article?

Second edit: apparently this is coming from the Twitter/xitter of politico. I don’t have one of those, so I can’t personally verify the veracity of this statement, but it does seem as if Politico (Peter Wilke (@peterjwilke)) reported this. [I put the name and handle in here for others who may be interested in digging a bit more than me before this is more widely reported]

Johnny Mnemonic. Keanu Reeves. Henry Rollins. Fuckin… a bright orange videocassette with Keanu Reeves but his head is the tape of the movie.

It’s honestly amazing. And his rant about room service was peak Keanu.

This article is, just a little bit, about you, and those who came after you. That’s neat!
