Late at night, after tweeting is done Behind locked doors of his own, most private room Splayed out on sheets no maid dare touch The President of the United States wraps his eager fingers firmly around his remote And tunes into The Gorilla Channel THE GORILLA CHANNEL AFTER DARK

Jeremy Hansen: "What this should do is shine a spotlight on what we're capable of as a country. The fact that a Canadian flew around the moon in 2026 is not because it happened last year. It happened over decades."

My head exploded—several times—while reading this article from @politico about David Markus, the lawyer working to free Ghislaine Maxwell (Jeffrey Epstein’s partner in crime). politico.com/news/magazine/…

The Last Grave at Dimbaza (1973) is a seminal documentary that provided one of the first unflinching looks at the harsh realities of apartheid in South Africa for international audiences. Shot clandestinely with hidden cameras by South African exiles and British filmmakers, the footage was smuggled out of the country to bypass strict censorship laws. The producers included Nana Mahomo, Antonia Caccia, Andrew Tsehiana. Source: IMDb, Youtube

“everyone can have a penthouse”

Here’s the “family photo” I keep on my desk, and not a single student has ever questioned it.

Only one chance in this lifetime… Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him. I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

Trump’s Courtiers Cannot Say No — My interview with @DIEZEIT about working with the White House, the need for a geopolitical Europe and the echoes of history I felt dealing with America in the Foreign Office from Napoleon to Hegel’s Weltgeist. Link below:

Heartbreaking description of the pointless, thoughtless damage being done to the Kennedy Center. It was such an important part of life in Washington, and is now being destroyed for no reason theatlantic.com/culture/2026/0…

新しいジオラマ撮影法思いついた！ iPhoneのカメラユニットを延長ケーブルで外出しにする。 入り組んだ所に突っ込めるので今まで撮れなかったアングルで撮れるようになるよ！ #鉄道模型 #Nゲージ #Bトレ #ジオラマ

Very Russophobic of Polish POWs to be executed en masse by the Russians after the joint Nazi-Soviet invasion of Poland.

De todas las fotos que se le han tomado a Trump, ​esta lo “retrata” espiritualmente. Su falta de empatía, cero interés en el problema de otro, ausencia de solidaridad, falta de cooperación para ayudar a terceros, cero preocupación por el estado del otro. Completamente ausente, emocional y humanamente, completamente incapaz de sentir lo que normalmente una persona, y más en su posición, sentiría. Pobre de la gente que piensa que a Trump le interesa asistirlos. Esta foto lo dice claramente. Tu problema no es su problema. A él le interesa él y nadie más.

Power & Politics plays a clip of Doug Ford saying he's "the only premier in history that refuses to use the premier's plane."
