Today I went to a reception for ambassadors who’ve just arrived to DC. Out of the 14, only 1 was a woman. We need more women ambassadors.

Never forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003, & replaced it with a restored stream & 1000 acre park in the city’s centre, not only did it transform the city’s public life & economic success, but the traffic got better. The traffic got BETTER.

If there was ever a good definition of Central Europe

One year ago I denied any invasion would happen. The past changes so quickly you have no idea what will happen yesterday.

In my grandparents’ generation, Japan was a destroyer, not a defender. Now Kishida is in Ukraine, a strong democratic voice. As an ethnic Chinese, I then see Xi with Putin the same week and honestly, the contrast — it makes me sad.

Japanese TV counted the minutes ⏱️ How much time each #G7 leader spent inside the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum

Brazil’s squad lands in Australia for the Women's World Cup on a plane that paid tribute to the #IranProtests, featuring images of #MahsaAmini and incarcerated Iranian footballer #AmirNasrAzdani. #WomanLifeFreedom #زن_زندگى_آزادى

No spoilers, but this is the cleverest football advert I've ever seen.

O matko. To jest fantastyczny spot. Od samego początku, a na końcu jeszcze lepszy niż się wydawał. Niech się niesie jak najszerzej.

Still two countries: how Germany voted. (Black=Union; blue=AfD).

The European far right had a good election yesterday, but keep in mind that what we saw in France has not played out at European level. There was no far right surge at EU level. Le Pen's ID came 1st in only 1 other country. ECR had less 1st-place finishes than last time in 2019.

Kaja Kallas on Russia and its negotiation tactics.

In 2013, Cristiano opened a football academy in Georgia, and one of the children who registered was Kvaratskhelia. Today, they meet again, and Kvaratskhelia scored in the first minute vs Portugal. Surreal.

whoever designed this cover deserves a raise

"Why didn't Trump's security try to negotiate with the shooter?" Ukrainian paramedic asks a stupid question to demonstrate how stupid people sound when they say: “Why doesn’t Ukraine try to negotiate with russia?”

Tell me you work for a 45+, German MEP without telling me.

Newly elected members of the French parliament refusing to shake hands with the far right is extremely satisfying. A particular shout out to the rock paper scissors gag.

Absolutely hilarious Romanian comedian Victor Patrascan roasts a russian crowd member at a show in Belgrade😂😂😂 "Coca Cola Refugee" is the perfect nickname
