Russia destroys a US-owned defence factory in Ukraine 🇺🇦 Nothing… US prosecutors allege a Russian intelligence plot to murder a dissident in Washington. Russia reportedly also supplies Iran with intelligence on US military assets. Nothing.. Putin gets an invitation to the G20 by Trump… WTF 🤷♂️
National Norwegian news by public broadcaster: The dog of recently deceased princess Astrid is now dead. Makes you think whether the whole monarchy thing is a giant Russian disinfo operation to distract from real issues. !?!?!?
I think that Ukrainian missiles and drones also wanted to cast a vote today in Russia. It is one of the few genuine votes in this fake parliament election.

They’re sitting opposite a man who’s committed the most heinous war crimes, the darkest chapters of European history, torturing, executing POW’s in Nazi style filtration camps, stole children while holding Ukrainians to ransom over basic human rights.
It'll be an incredible memory for us all, to be fair: the time the US president sent two of his closest, if least competent, aides to flatter the autocrat responsible for an unprovoked war against a neighbour and the murder of many thousands of its citizens. In front of the world's cameras.
Jeans-environment interactions, a new research field I got to know about in Uppsala.
Can't help thinking Christopher Nolan made a big mistake in not calling his latest movie "Troy Story 2".
MAGA 'expert' Macgregor, and his 'predictions' on Ukraine March '22 "In ten days, this should be completely over." September '23 "This could go on till Christmas." May '25 "Over the next month or two, I wouldn't be surprised if the whole picture changes suddenly." August '26 "This thing is over."
When Trump picked Hegseth, I said he wanted a defense secretary who would be willing to order the military to fire on American citizens. Hegseth is in the process of purging officers who won’t.

The turmoil has left a leadership vacuum in the Army at a moment when it is trying to find ways to defend troops against the threat posed by cheap drones.

If Serbia insists on burying Maladić with state honours, that is its sovereign prerogative. However such a move would be entirely inconsistent with being a candidate for EU membership, and the accession process should be formally suspended as a result.
TVP World@tvpworld.bsky.social · 2mo agoSerbia’s Justice Minister has announced that former Bosnian-Serb military commander and convicted war criminal Ratko Mladić will be buried with state honors.
Pretty good going from BBC R4's Today to talk for 15 minutes about the disaster in Nepal and not once mention the impact of climate change A massive chunk of glacier collapsed and fell 1.2km, reduced to 'flash flood'.
I hereby have issued a personal executive order binding upon all people in all nations. Henceforth and herewith, the city in which I live shall be known as Paris, France. All cheeseburgers shall be free. Cats are now dogs. Golf never existed. I am the author of the collected works of Shakespeare.
We have an election coming up in Sachsen-Anhalt, one of German's 16 federal states. The AFD—it's sadly no exaggeration to say that it has many Nazis as politicians and voters—has doubled its votes since 2022, and is projected to be the largest party. Possible they reach close to 50% of the votes :(

Den norske hovedoppgaven -- masteroppgaven -- er død i møte med KI. Vi kan ikke fortsette som før. Alle tenkbare løsninger innebærer i praksis endringer så store at det ikke lenger er snakk om den samme oppgaven.

Turned on the radio this morning and today’s headline news was Reform’s plan to cut £50billion from welfare spending, quoting Reform’s claim that the current system is “suicidal empathy”. The BBC is again calmly reporting fascist ideas as if they mainstream.
Elon Musk’s comment on empathy is much worse than you thought
Musk has a clear understanding of the eugenic mission, and the ideological building blocks to its realization. It’s Nazism.

Rebecca Sear@rebeccasear.bsky.social · 2mo agoTimely read having listened to a BBC journalist calmly discussing revoking habeas corpus and building large detention centres for imprisoning asylum-seekers with a right-wing activist on the radio this morning
Many Europeans fail to recognize that reducing reliance on the US requires spending significantly more on defense to prevent Russian aggression. Current European defense budgets remain inadequate for this reality
2027, on the other hand, is going to blow apart the record for the warmest year. 🤷
