So far in Russia's hybrid war in Europe, most known acts of sabotage have resulted in minimal damage
— nothing compared to the tens of thousands of lives lost and cities decimated across Ukraine.
But officials say each act

This is a good video about Masculinity. I generally agree with it. Galloway get a lot wrong on gender. Though I don't really think he is a grifter. I think he cares about the topic and wants a good out come not too far off what the person in this video wants.
As I think more about big tent politics I wonder if this video could do more calling in then calling out. There are real enemies out there and to me, at this time, Galloway is a mistaken ally rather then an enemy

Social media use is declining because all the big platforms are run by and kowtowing to the worst people.
Nobody (except Nazis) want to hang out at a Nazi bar that just randomly assigns people to you who yell at you that it's all the foreigners' fault; meanwhile you see fewer and fewer posts of, you know, your friends or interesting people you choose to follow.

Now instead of turning on the oven and setting the temperature in two swift turns, the digital display now wants you to set a timer first and you have to go through an extensive menu of "features", turning the simple 2-step act of turning on the oven to an at least 5 step annoyance where I had to decline setting a time multiple times.

I understand that there are people that use The Bible to guide them and get spiritual and mental support. But I also see the people that shout loud about relying on The Bible, and those most often use it as a weapon, as a tool to exercise power on others, and to do so they just ignore most of the teachings of Jesus.¹
So we have to distinguish if someone wants to use The Bible to relieve themselves or suppress others. Two opposite ways.

The recent election results proved something important.
Voters responded to candidates who spoke directly to economic pain.
When Democrats leaned into economic populism, they won.
They won by acknowledging reality, not sugarcoating it.
They won because they talked like people who know what a grocery bill feels like in 2025.
The mandate was clear:
tell the truth about the economy and fight for people who are getting squeezed.
