Never let anyone normalise what Ukraine are facing from russia. To launch a barrage targeted against civilian homes to celebrate the tyrant's birthday is utterly psychopathic.

russians are killing children sleeping in their beds as a present for putin's birthday🤬

Please share the information about Oleshky everywhere you can! ​Russia is starving residents of the town and nearby villages by denying food supplies and evacuation. People in Oleshky need help, or else they won't survive the winter!

Despite what many “Russia experts” will tell you, Russia’s calculations about whether and how to escalate are not predetermined. They are constantly calculating the strength of our resilience.

If you're in government watching criminal-led blackshirt thugs in balaclavas wage war on the RNLI and you're hedging your bets because you're not sure who the majority of the country will side with, why do you even want to be in government? Why would you WANT to lead people you think so little of?

Make your favorite film sound as boring as possible without giving away the title: A chief technology officer is worried about keeping his spreadsheets private.

John Healey's appointment as chancellor appears to be good news for Ukraine.

I thought the yanks knew how to put on a show?

Well that was inevitable, wasn't it?

bluesky is the best app because nearly every leftist and lib on this dumb site who scream at each other all day about any number of topics- we all agreed that platner sucked shit the second that tattoo dropped. totally different from threads, twitter, fb, tiktok you name it

It's probably time European journalists wrapped their heads around Heat Index (temp + relative humidity). In high humidity, sweating is less efficient, making heat worse, e.g.: Experiencing 35°C in London UK (70% RH) is more dangerous than 50°C in Phoenix Arizona (15% RH)

Twitter/X is an enormous national security threat on a global scale, and a lot more nations need to grow a spine and start blocking it (and taking other active, aggressive measures).

Statement from Mayor of London Sadiq Khan calling for Musk and his platform to be held to account:

'Streisand effect' Where an attempt to hide, censor, or remove information results in the information receiving far more attention 'Hormuz effect' Where an attempt to impose or prolong something ends up undermining it or hastening its demise e.g. Fossil fuels www.businessgreen.com/news/4530013...

Slightly diminish a book. The Cider House Suggestions

It's a shame that "defend your culture" always means "hate strangers different from you" and never "enact anti-pollution laws so that you can go fishing with your grandkids the way your grandpa taught you."

Got him. May we see many more mugshots like this from around the world.

Great news from Syria: Security forces conducted a precise operation that resulted in the apprehension of Amjad Youssef, a former associate of the Assad regime, who was identified in widely circulated videos documenting a massacre of civilians in the Tadamon district of Damascus.

Trump still cannot agree the conditions of this unconditional surrender.

It's the liars vs bullshitters thing. The Iranian regime are liars - they know what the truth is but they will tell tactical and strategic lies to further their agenda. The rest of the time they may well default to the truth. Trump is a bullshitter. The truth is irrelevant or even non-existent.

Friday night Tequila Tweet: Here’s the sad, fucking truth: Iran’s leadership is more believable & more trustworthy than the President of the United States. Hey America, that’s the price we pay for electing a president who lies as he breathes. We. Can’t. Believe. A. Fucking. Thing. Trump. Says.

I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail. Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

I have a father and mother in law in Iran. I have a sister in law. A niece. She's 14. She likes silly pink headbands and purses and dresses, just like kids her age all over the world. There are 93 million people like her in Iran. People who do all the normal mundane life things as the rest of us.

I said years ago that Donald Trump is what you’d get if Satan made his own man in mockery of God

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” These are the words of the president of the United States, today. The president speaks genocide. And so we too must speak. Not only about crimes, but about their legal punishment. snyder.substack.com/p/the-presid...

The president speaks genocide

The words, the law, the future

RFK JR: One time, Trump grabbed a placemat, turned it over, took a Sharpie, and drew a perfect map of the Middle East. Then he marked the troop strength of every country along each border on that map. It challenged a lot of the assumptions I had been told about him.

Maybe this is working.

Trump, putin, and Netanyahu now all campaign for Orban against EU and the free world In other words, russia is now aligned with ALL participants of the current war in Iran - Iran, US, and Israel Sounds weird But remember that russia’s goal is always more chaos and crisis Everything makes sense

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

Turns out that Israel and the US were too chicken to send warships through the Strait of Hormuz so they begged Europe, expecting our warships to be bombed instead of theirs. They wanted our sailors to die on their behalf in the war they fucking started.

cold take but the capital of the free world is kyiv. they still believe in everything these thugs have abandoned
