…and as IRIS² was supposed to launch with SpaceX, but thanks to Musk-madness we’ll stick with Ariane, VEGA and so on, Arianespace/Airbus can’t believe their luck right now.

They’ve been WAY behind SpaceX and their price offerings, but with the far-right moron Elon shitting around like that, the only rational choice is to launch with our own (old, low-performing) launch systems.

Another reminder: We HAVE to push development in so many sectors we’ve neglected in the past. Same goes for Social Networks. Mastodon and Lemmy are nice, so is pixelfed. But we need an OpenSource, Europe-hosted and -controlled Facebook alternative as well. And we need a proper replacement for PayPal and Amazon for and by Europe as well.

what about rotten tomatoes, peppers and apples? Got any?

well, they tried to discuss a ceasefire as well without involving the victim.

I start to see a pattern there

how on earth would ANYONE EVER pick such a buffoon as president? I mean…reading that almost makes my braincells scream and begging to commit suicide…

did you hear what Orban said in reaction to this mess?

We need to clean up within our own borders first. Otherwise the tumor will spread even further

politics experts suspect it was all a setup by the orange moron - a trap for Selenskyj so the pressure is solely onto him now.

Just another level of gambling
