BREAKNG: Meta announces it will invest $1 billion in US cities and towns where it operates and is building AI data centers. That sum pales in comparison to the $600 billion Meta plans to spend on data centers through 2028. The company already has 160 data centers planned or under construction.

🔥AFU are consistently destroying Russian air defense systems in the Gelendzhik area. That is where Putin’s "palace" is located, - The Moscow Times. In particular, on August 7, Volna Kupol Garant electronic warfare system was hit near the facility

Why is 19th-century imperial logic that would sound grotesque and offensive when applied to any other country still considered acceptable when it comes to russia and Ukraine? Would many people seriously suggest that the US should return to British rule because Americans speak English?

But when it comes to Ukraine, suddenly the fact that some Ukrainians still carry a colonial legacy in the form of speaking russian becomes, in far too many foreign minds, a legitimate argument for russian domination — and even for the genocide of those who reject it. This is mind-boggling. No?

The extinction of humankind is imminent ... just like scientists have been predicting for decades ... and all ignored by politicians in order to fatten the pockets of both Big Oil and themselves. =================

Earlier this week, the Alaskan cruise ship Wilderness Legacy rescued a small skiff stranded near Farragut Bay after running out of fuel. But, according to tracking data reviewed by the Alaska Beacon and Halifax Shipping News, the closest vessel was actually Mark Zuckerberg’s super yacht, Launchpad.

Zuckerberg’s yacht was closer, but someone else saved a stranded boat

Magnus Västerbros "Svälten" är full med exempel på att högern har samma syn på fattigdom nu som för flera hundra år sedan. Nedanstående är ju exakt det moderaterna går fram med nu. Verkligen rekommenderad läsning.

Efter reformationen fick Martin Luthers tankar om att det fanns en tydlig skillnad mellan fattiga som förtjänade hjälp, de så kallade >rätta fattiga<, och de som inte gjorde det, >de orätta<, allt större genomslag. Men protestanten Luther var inte den enda som giorde en sådan distinktion. Kanske var det helt enkelt ett tidens tecken? 1500- och 1600-talet var kaotiska århundraden i Europa, med ständiga krig och återkommande svältkatastrofer. Klart är att man även i den katolska världen förde fram liknande tankegångar. Den inflytelserike spanske kyrkomannen Juan Luis Vives, verksam vid samma tid som Luther, menade att man inte skulle uppmuntra tiggande genom att ge allmosor. Vissa - sjuka och gamla, små barn och de handikappade - måste förstås ha hiälp, det tyckte både Luther och Vives. Men friska män och kvinnor i vuxen ålder ska klara sig själva. Och om de till sist verkligen behöver hjälp ska det bara ske efter att de har gjort rätt för sig, i allmänhet genom att utföra arbete av något slag. Till exempel kan de svältande fattiga sättas att bygga vägar, röja skog, eller hjälpa till med något annat hårt kroppsarbete - med bara mat eller minimal lön som ersättning. På så vis sviker man inte den bibliska uppmaningen att man ska ta hand om sir nästa, samtidigt som man ändå inte skämmer bort de fattiga och får dem att glömma sitt eget ansvar.
Med andra ord kanske man kan tala om en arbetslinje med djupa rötter, för att använda ett uttryck från 2000-talets svenska politiska debatt

Ukraine could strike 7x more targets in Crimea if Western money moved faster, drone chief Robert "Madyar" Brovdi tells AP. His forces run at 14% capacity, have destroyed 300+ Russian air defenses—and Wildberries is now on the target list. euromaidanpress.com/2026/08/10/u...

Ukraine’s Crimea campaign could strike seven times more targets with faster funding, Brovdi says

To clear the skies over the peninsula, the force destroyed more than 300 Russian air defense assets in recent months, its commander said.

Russia is not interested in peace, it needs to be forced to peace. Poltava region: Not a single gas station remains intact in the Opishnyanska community. A Russian Shahed drone attack also damaged four residential properties. 📹: Suspilne

The last macro thread had more interest then I thought. So lets expand in the Wildberries-VTB loans direction. But before we can get into the nitty-gritty, as most of us dont spend our day in the world of trillions of rubles we need to set the baseline. How bad is general dept situation? 🧵 1/

One problem is, that this short form makes taking on complex themes difficult and, honestly tedious. And macro economic post tends to get less popularity than 'big fire ball good'. But I'll take on one of the many interlinked ones and expand on Wildberries from tax angle, 🧵 1/12

This is what Russia grotesquely calls ‘liberation’ and proudly dedicates propaganda films to: an entire Ukrainian city completely devastated, reduced to ruins, and emptied of life.

Skolexempel på hur skicklig manipulation går till! Listiga drag i det dolda får kraftiga reaktioner hos politiker som vill visa hur starka och proaktiva dom är. Dom t o m luras att skvätta galla på politiska motståndare i iver att framstå som handlingskraftiga. Hoppas att vi alla lär av detta!

Rysk desinformation var källan bakom Tidöpartiernas propaganda "Under EU:s digitala krismöte den 4 augusti fick ministrarna veta att Europol registrerat över 2 000 falska artiklar och 6 000 falska meddelanden om Ceuta från ryska aktörer." www.dn.se/ledare/annik...

❗️Unfortunately, the ballistic missiles were not intercepted due to a shortage of Patriot interceptors—a shortage that critics blame on Trump's reluctance to provide additional air defense support. Explosions are now being reported across Kyiv.
