From 2015 to 2024, Europe has increased its military spending by 83 percent.
It is mind-blowing what we could have done for health, climate change, and innovation, had it not been for Putin and his lackey in The Oval Office.

We don't seem to see the results of that yet, which indicates that the level of investment we had were ridiculously low for the level of risk.
European politicians should have to answer for their past mismanagement, in particular that which enriched the Kremlin to the point of a russian #war against Europe funded by Europe.
And the corruption continues: #Belgium, #Hungary, #Slovakia, #Spain, and other countries in the EU where russian corruption runs deep and corrodes action.
The shrinking space for political satire in Europe. For @cartoonmovement, I wrote an editorial about my trip to Slovakia, censorship by the Fico government (we weren't allowed to visit a high school to talk about cartoons with students) and the lack of diplomatic courage of the Dutch embassy.

Slovakia, 1959. The likely lads. I read somewhere that the term 'likely lads' can refer to those who get up to well-meaning mischief. Perfect for this trio.
(Although the location of this photo is not specified in Fortepan, it is part of the same collection of photos taken in 1959 in and round Fiľakovo in south-central Slovakia, near the Hungarian border. So I am going with that!)

DON'T GIVE UP HOPE!
REMEMBER!
this isn't being snuck in through the back gate because they want to.
they HAD to sneak this in through the back gate, because a month ago, we made damn sure they couldn't get in through the front.
THAT is a victory in and of itself.
we got the german government to block the initial bill in october.
THAT is a victory in and of itself.
MORE MEPS IN FRANCE OPPOSE CHAT CONTROL THAN THEY DO SUPPORT IT!
THAT is a victory in and of itself.
keep sending emails to MEPs!
keep fighting for our privacy!
let's END this shitty bill!

After visiting Oravský hrad we drove to Národný park Malá Fatra | Malá Fatra National Park for the popular Jánošíkove diery hike, a series of three interconnected loops that incorporate ladders & platforms transiting several gorges. With only enough daylight to complete two loops (our “turn around” alarm had 4min spare!) we found the meadowed sections of the 8km/ 3h rtn hike more appealing for some variety (📷1&2); saw deer in the woods.
We then broke one of our #vanlife rules: Don’t arrive on pitch after dark. We ended up bailing on our initial choice—after taking an unpaved road with poor visibility, tight corners, steep angles, vague parking directions & new charges.
Next morning from Súľov-Hradná under overcast skies we accessed the Súľovské skaly | Súľov Rocks nature trail. A steep climb leads to the Gotická brána | Gothic Gate conglomerate formation (📷3). In our haste to pass a large, slow-moving group we missed the turning to the ruins of Súľovský hrad | Súľov Castle; the trail decending from here was poorly maintained & outright dangerous. Once back in the village we could zoom in on what little remains of the medieval rock castle, built late 13th/ early 14th C. & plundered for stone to build local houses after its destruction in the 18th C. (📷4). 6km/ 2.5h rtn to pitch.
