"Adversaries and cybercriminals exploit cyberspace to advance authoritarianism, suppress democracy, and undermine our national and economic security"
![[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.]
From off-screen a newsreader’s commentary comes:
NEWSREADER:
Extraordinary images here
of an expat in Dubai
[The influencer’s eybrows raise slightly]
…Having their first ever geopolitical thought.
[CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencer’s face. The interviewee’s name is David Jones].
CLIVE MYRIE:
To explain the significance of this moment we’re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent
DAVID JONES:
Clive, this is momentous
It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: ‘Dubai Is Brilliant’.
[Pointing at the screen, the influencer’s expression still the same]
You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self.
It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expat’s previous thoughts.
CLIVE MYRIE:
Which are…?
DAVID JONES:
You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes,
I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa.
CLIVE MYRIE:
And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days?
DAVID JONES:
I think we can expect to see:
“I Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To”
CLIVE MYRIE:
Mmm.

1/ Russians are responding in the traditional way to the plight of their fellow-countrymen trapped in Dubai – by scamming them. Scammers are offering desperate Russians fake $260 car rides and $20,000 private jet flights to neighbouring countries, with a 70% deposit up front. ⬇️
I love humans so much because at any given moment they can look at you with a straight face and tell you their dog is in Dubai
Muy bien aquí el Gobierno
Esto si que es un WTF. El Perro dando lecciones al mundo entero.
Eres un antiguo.
Trump's supposed bestie Meloni is so out of the loop with 🇺🇸 that she apparently wasn't informed before the Iran strikes (even though 🇵🇱🇩🇪 say they were told).
🇮🇹 was so in the dark that her defence minister went on vacation to Dubai the night before.
Todos somos un poco monjas histéricas con algo 😂
Espera un poco, que estas cosas cambian de pronto de un día para otro 😅
Apparently Dan Simmons is dead. www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/l...
Complicated, of course—he wrote some wonderful books (eternally grateful to @mrsambarlow.bsky.social for introducing me to Carrion Comfort) and then also went full mask off fascist in later life, so, you know.
Always thought this video with 800 views by a guy on YouTube named Daniel Cupps should have a few million more. It is even better that it ends in the most reprehensible way I can think of. No better way to prove the point.
Exilenova+ published close-up footage of a 50,000 m³ tank burning at the Kaleykino pumping station. The reservoir has now burned out completely.
Como heurística, trato todos los vídeos de hasta 60 segundos en los que habla como máximo una sola persona, como falsos, por defecto. Hasta que se demuestre lo contrario.
We need to talk about naked mole rats

Kim DotClown is at it again.
Kim Dotcom is not only a traitor and convicted criminal, but also a complete psycho and idiot
Yeah, we do too, dude.
Now maybe tell that to the guy launching missiles.
Easily one of the top charts of all time
😂
Aquí andamos de nuevo.
Estoy de vuelta. Desde Eurosky esta vez. Hola.
