Eg tykkjer medier kan gå tilbake til å betale folk som veit ting for å skrive ein kronikk her og der om tingen dei veit framføre å halde seg med husnissar som skal meine ting om alt mogeleg dei ikkje har peiling på. Men det er kanskje berre meg

Putin is waging war against mothers and their children. The Russian army cannot win on the battlefield. The Russians are not strong, they are cruel. That is why they launch daily attacks on the civilian population, trying to break Ukrainians' resistance.

For the trolls gaslighting those of us who've been playing or watching football our whole lives, here's the fucking video. VAR and FIFA knowingly allowed an England goal that they're well aware should've been disallowed. The game shouldn't have gone to ET.

VAR not around to take back England's goal. But it certainly was there to take away Norway's. 🤔

A goal deserves a dróttkvæð vísa: Haralds arfar hurfu hǫfði ok beinum í einu vængbrotinna engla viðfangs — víða með belli á velli — hvatir ok skutu héðan hátt unz Andrés mátti ljósta knetti með listum — liðit kann vel við leikinn.

SNYDER: Trump is ludicrously weak, and everything he touches turns to loss. He went to Madison Square Garden and the Knicks lost. I mean, more seriously, he tries to help Russia win a war, and even there he fails. Like, he has sort of incredible power to turn people into losers.
What is important to understand about Russia’s night-time attack on a world-renowned Christian landmark in Kyiv. They deliberately struck the Lavra—built during the era of Kyivan Rus’, when Moscow itself did not yet exist—with a Russian drone.

Russian narratives often describe the illegal deportation of Ukrainian children as ‘saving the children from war’. The war that Russia started. Returned Ukrainian children describe armed supervision, intimidation, political indoctrination, and pressure to renounce their Ukrainian identity.
Calling it “techno-fascism” feels radical. It isn’t – it is imprecise, and imprecision is a luxury we cannot afford. What techno-oligarchy is doing to humanity goes beyond what fascism ever attempted. Eight points on a threat we are not yet naming correctly. shekhovtsov.substack.com/p/worse-than...
