Surprise, surprise. All those cross-wielding Christian Nationalists at the UK’s fascist rallies don’t actually go to church.

Christian nationalism in Britain driven by people who seldom go to church, says report

Research challenges the notion that the growing visibility of crosses and other symbols reflects a revival of Christianity

In the least surprising news of the century, vast majority of racist flag shaggers who go about brandishing crosses and saying that we're a Christian country... don't pray, or go to church or read the Bible www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Today, Russian forces dropped three aerial bombs on Sloviansk, destroying a whole section of an apartment building. All of Russia’s promises to “protect” Donbas have boiled down to razing it to the ground.

But..... didn't Elon take over X to get rid of the Bot accounts and make sure all users were real?

Ukrainian strikes hit several Russian data centers, knocking millions of suspected bot accounts offline.

Ukrainian defenders have successfully struck three Yandex data centres on the territory of the russian fascist invaders over the past four days. Cloud services for companies that foolishly chose to do business with Yandex have been curtailed. Training AI models has stopped.

And there it is: perfect framing

Really if Ukraine decides to switch targets, data centers are great. Russia’s capacity to replace the parts inside given the global market is pretty limited

Unintended consequences. According to cloudfare, the targeting of Yandex data centres by Ukraine has resulted in a massive drop in russian bots. Could this have an impact on the American mid term elections?

In total, over the past 24 hours, units of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of #Ukraine struck 2,370 enemy targets. Since the start of October (1–10 October), units of the SBS Group have struck 24,228 enemy targets, including 5,290 personnel.

🎯More footage from the attack on Yandex. Air defense doesn’t seem to know where the UAV’s are comming from.

”Ukraine’s new emphasis on developing decentralized power — from solar panels to wind turbines — is advancing an unexpected green energy transition.” Centralized fossil fuel infrastructure and #DataCentres are easy and obvious targets for drone and deep strikes. e360.yale.edu/features/ukr...

A reported third attack on a Yandex data center this month disrupted taxi and payment services. The reported outage also affected users in Serbia, Kazakhstan, Belarus and Armenia, while Yandex said it was still assessing its infrastructure and had no restoration timetable. 1/6

Interesting to consider Ukrainian strikes on Russian datacenters as playing defence against Putin's capacity to manipulate the US midterms. #Ukraine standing up for US democracy when the US government won't. That would explain Trump's recent meltdowns too... 🤔

Cloudfare: Russian troll activity on X drops to 49%, after Ukraine strikes Yandex Russian data center. 🤖 🫤 Could this disrupt the midterms for the GOP?

Nearly all #Yandex services went dark after a strike on its Vladimir data center. Alice, Taxi, Go, Pro, Food, Music, Telemost and Smart Home were hit, along with Yandex Cloud – disrupting hundreds of dependent businesses and municipal services across Russia.

A third #Yandex data center, this time in Vladimir, has been struck. Yandex officially confirmed the facility has completely shut down. Vladimir has a designed capacity of 50 MW and 2,880 server racks. The timeline so far: Oct 8 – Sasovo Oct 9 – Kaluga Oct 11 – Vladimir

Ukraine doesn’t need permission from anyone when striking Russian targets, including refineries. They will continue to burn until Russia‘s capacities to wage war have been spent.

Total chaos in Russian cities after Ukraine's strikes on just two Yandex data centers wipes out GPS, payment systems, taxi apps and the largest websites, across the country. Russia's centralized North Korean style internet is the country's weakness, they are fucked.

And just to mention this, yesterday Yandex changed its terms of service saying drone attacks on its facilities are Force majeure.

Ukraine continues to hammer the Russians. Now Soviet style centralized data centers get got. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Kyiv’s answer was simple: no one-sided pause. The U.S. opened a temporary channel for Russian diesel as Ukraine rejected a halt to refinery strikes. Russia killed 17 people in Zaporizhzhia, while Ukrainian forces reported a counteroffensive on the Lyman axis.

Russia’s Yandex Under Fire as Drones Hit Third Data Center in Four Days

Yandex faces its third drone strike in four days, with a Vladimir data center attack causing a fire and disrupting over 80 Yandex Cloud services.

⚠️ Confirmed: Metrics show a second collapse in the networks of Russian tech giant Yandex after a new Ukrainian drone attack on data centers in Vladimir this morning. The campaign comes not long after Russia's threat to give Ukraine a "digital detox."

Mind you, if Ukraine keeps bombing Russian data centres and thus disrupts Russian digital campaigns aiming to boost MAGA in the run-up to the midterms, Trump will soon say that Ukraine is interfering in the US politics. Because how else to describe the disruption of Russian pro-Trump info ops?
