Currently thinking of that time a Polish gentleman got really offended at my calling 🇪🇺 countries member *statelets*, lol. "STATES, not statelets! Show some respeeeect" No, they don't deserve it. :catto:

PS: ask Donald Tusk why he's so eager to help Austria launder timber for Russian oligarchs.

EUobserver · How to launder trees for Russia, under the EU's deforestation directiveA growing number of member states, led by Austria and Luxembourg, are pushing to introduce a “no-risk” category into the EUDR — an exemption that would in practice harm both the EU’s deforestation agenda and its sanctions on Russian and Belarusian timber.

the UK's Solicitors Regulation Authority is prosecuting one of the UK's more infamous libel law firms (Carter Ruck) for silencing critics of the massive OneCoin ponzi scheme (2nd only to madoff) that imploded back in 2017.

sadly there's a million other cases of Big Law firms openly aiding and abetting out and out frauds that will go unpunished, but it's nice to see at least some kind of minimal attempt at justice

(the story of OneCoin is completely insane; worth a read if you haven't run across it before)
