Trump is lying about these leaders in a public statement. He is saying that they are so weak they would sit there and accept such obnoxious foolishness. The original:

Trump at his desk in the Oval office with key European leaders arrayed to his front with a map facing the camera.

Sitting outside during an alert one night, in the silence a chirp. It was not one that I recognized, and it was oddly electronic. Then more chirps. I worried for the longest moment about some new drone and that I had made a terrible and irretrievable mistake. Imagine that “oh fuck” moment in film. And then there were hundreds of chirps, and I realized it was birds. I do still wonder what stirred such a massive flock.

I didn't put words in his mouth. I commented upon the writing. Maybe he didn't mean it. Sometimes posts don't come out how we intend. That's ok. But my reading of the text is arguable. I do have a PhD, and I do know how to analyze text. And seriously, men, STFU about women's PhDs when you're angry.

@otherprofgreen.bsky.social Funny story about Brunel U and my early days at King's College London. There is a sandwich shop on the Strand, same name, and for longer than I want to admit, I could not understand why they sponsored talks, panels, conferences...🤣

Singing Wonderwall at the football matches is how the English get to have emotions in public. 🤣 (Worth it for the opening queue discourse alone.)

To celebrate the Day of Naval Forces.

A decal on a car window, in Ukrainian, "Go fuck yourself, Russian warship!" Includes outline of the ship. In the window is reflected the photographer and a brief glimpse of Khortytsia Island on a sunny day.

Donald Trump alone in a room in a makeshift White House on the Mall. The photo is from outside, the windows stained with rain. The tableau is sad and stark, the lone figure looks unwell.

An image of Zelensky, Bearer of Hard Truths.

If Putin wants to sacrifice another million of his soldiers to keep smashing against this wall, then the million Russians who have not yet been mobilized and are arguing in gas lines should think about what awaits them next. -- Zelensky

New meme format...Zelensky, the bearer of hard truths folks have ignored. Epic visual.

Zelensky at his desk, flags just in view at the edges. His face serious, hands spread before him. It is an image of a man explaining something clearly, offering stark options...in sum, it visually means hard truths in your face.

Untouched by heat is its own delight. Black and Blue is best with foie.

I didn't spend nearly enough time in Kyiv last October, but it is beautiful - the people moreso for their defiant *life*. (I have a thing for doorways and facades in cities.)

I have more vases than storage space, so now they are storage containers. I have another for carrots. In the refrigerator they make for quite the nice view.
