And then you checked the news, and the amazingness continued!

"Lindsey Graham, staunch backer of Israel and US wars, dies aged 71
The longtime senator was one of Washington's most vocal supporters of military action against Iran
.,.,,.
First elected to the Senate in 2002, Graham regularly courted intense international criticism for his pro-war rhetoric and interventionist foreign policy.

He served as chairman of the Senate Budget Committee and was a prominent voice on issues ranging from Israel's genocidal war on Gaza, wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and conflicts in Ukraine and Iran.

Trump paid tribute to Graham in a social media post, describing him as a "true American patriot"."
.,,.,
'Hateful and absurd'

Although Graham frequently clashed with Trump, including after the 6 January 2021 attack on the US Capitol, he later emerged as one of the president's most dedicated supporters and endorsed his 2024 presidential campaign.

"Trump and I, we've had a hell of a journey. I hate it to end this way," Graham said in a Senate speech following the Capitol riot. "All I can say is count me out. Enough is enough."

He later reversed course, telling the BBC in 2023: "There is a dark side to Donald Trump … and he was a very good president. But I am sticking with him because I saw what he did."

@jack_daniel I'd buy that for a dollar!

@rolle Lamaannuttavaa ja musertavaa lukea tällaisesta hankaluudesta. ”Rahan keräämisen maksullisuus” – sehän on täysi satiirinen komediakonsepti, valitettavasti kuitenkin älytöntä totta.

Tänään on uutisoitu Vaasankadun katukauppiaista. Mielestäni sekin on nivellettävissä aiheeseen. Tämä on puhdasta villiä länttä: yksikin väärä liike ja saat maksaa, Johnson!

Ei ole kansalaisvelvollisuus ymmärtää ja jaksaa byrokraattista, tukkoon maksullistettua kohtuuttomuutta. Ja kun ei ymmärretä ja jakseta, otetaan se lonkerosixpakki kainaloon ja myydään eteenpäin.

@lilious @denkodama @Framasoft @RoseLab @pyg @tibillet @louisderrac @stph Oh oui, j'y étais, c'était très très drôle et chouette. On est très aligné sur ce constat. Et j'étais trop fier qu'il parle de nous à la fin. Je m'y attendais pas, j'ai été super touché !

Eines der größten Rätsel um den interstellaren Kometen Oumuamua scheint gelöst: die gemessene Beschleunigung trotz eines fehlenden Schweifs. Aber diese Gruppe dunkler Kometen hat wohl doch dunkle, schwer nachweisbare Schweife.

Ein gewisser Harvard-Astrophysiker (und neuerdings UFO-Berater von Trump) muss jetzt sehr stark sein.

@rbreich Rest in Piss you disgraceful excuse for a human being. To quote Donald J Trump: "Good. I'm glad he's dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!"
