Whoa.

The special diplomacy continues.

Diplomacy

...Ukrainian-style.

Lol.

OH MAH GAWD

Lol. Look at my other favourite european president being totally in his element.

(Do I have a thing for enthusiastic, scrappy short guys? Maybe.)

Caption contest!

What are these two giggling about?

Macron was supposed to skip the EU meeting in Brussels to go to Mayotte which just got hit by a devastating storm. But he still went to Brussels first just for a quick hug and meet with Ze. The RPF really does write itself at this point. (pics annexed from getty images)

"We have a very good relationship. I appreciate him very much. Our first meeting was before I was even elected. At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Emmanuel was one of the few leaders with whom I spoke almost every day on the phone, without intermediaries or protocols. We talked directly about the challenges, about what had to be done. Emmanuel was always part of this small circle of five, seven leaders who were close to Ukraine. I am very grateful to him for that."

Ugh.

It might sound a bit tinfoil hat at the moment, but with the way the US are going and how they're pushing pretty hard for "adult content" bans for minors...that's going to affect Ao3 at some point.

So you know, if you have any favourite fics of the nsfw variety, now might be a good time to download them. Just to be on the safe side.

Awww.

But a Rama hug!

It's chérie time ❤️

Well that was fun news to wake up to...

Fuck russia.

A russian drone with a high-explosive warhead attacked the 'sarcophagus' of the destroyed Chornobyl NPP Unit 4

A fire broke out there after the impact, it has been extinguished. The radiation background has not increased so far. Preliminary reports indicate that the damage to the sarcophagus is significant.

Look at how badly Russia wants peace! According to the new US government, of course. Look at the actions of a completely normal, non-terrorist country that only wants peace and safety.

Did he take the day off for his birthday and get some gaming time in?

What a nerd.
