DF taught me that sweetbread was neither sweet nor bread

Saudis on the UN panel for women's rights, I imagine next we can make Putin peace ambassador for Eastern Europe

Boris is coming back to try to get re-elected.

I find it supremely funny that the guy who survived 3(?) no confidence votes is trying to get re-elected.  Teflon PM over here

The Trusspocalypse was good optics for him.

He's had the dubious honour of being sandwiched between two pms much less capable than himself.

Dear friends I come with lulz

The vice president of Norrtälje commune (local level authorities) had to answer questions after the leadership decided a ~30% pay raise was suitable for themselves, bringing their paycheck from 90 000 something Crowns to 120 000 Crowns. SvT, Swedish state television, asked them roughly "your pay raise is the same as a cleaner's entire wage. Were there no other wage envelopes this money would be better spent in?" and the bloke gave the most satisfying 25 seconds long answer ever

That's on svt's own web page so if it doesn't work outside of Sweden, I also found where somebody had uploaded it on youtube so that everyone will be able to see it

You just can't write comedy like that

Apparently they reversed it almost immediately, which indicates to me that they genuinely didn't realise people would find it upsetting. It's not like they tried to cover it up or anything.

[hector13]

It boggles my mind that even just that one guy is so short-sighted to have not considered he might have to justify being given a fuck huge pay rise in general, never mind during a global cost of living/inflation crisis.

From my personal experience, wealthy people do not think they are wealthy
