👺 Putin warns that Kyiv's refusal to recognise 2022 sham referendums could lead to new war

A company on Russia’s doorstep that sent its war robots to Ukraine got a crash course in what soldiers need https://www.europesays.com/2181598/ A European defense firm’s ground robots are being used by Ukrainian soldiers. The experiences there have led to…

Long COVID is now the number one chronic illness afflicting children, surpassing asthma. Yet we're refusing to use tools that could prevent recurrent infections in kids, like clean air or Far UVC, preferring to repeat propaganda about COVID's harmlessness www.thegauntlet.news/p/long-covid...

Still true: *Britain is a success story *Most of its cities are doing astonishingly well *Multiculturalism is popular *Mass immigration has not led to social disintegration *Nostalgia is increasingly weird *Britain is incredibly safe *Levels of social cohesion are high Don't let them gaslight you.

One thing not on my 2025 bingo card was @hankgreen.bsky.social pitching the “chewy” decimal system as a way to standardize grocery stores. With my full chest, yes, Peppermint Patty Daddy. youtu.be/RxMR1TMec04?...

Disabled people tried to warn you We screamed about the need to normalize masking for public health We begged folks to wear N95s in solidarity & make them harder to ban This is fascism. Far right groups like Proud Boys can fully cover their faces, while peaceful protesters are arrested for an N95

If only we had warned folks before the election that the real plan wasn’t border security…it was mass deportation in the interior, federalizing the National Guard, ripping people out of homes, families, jobs, and schools. Oh wait…we did. This segment with the author of 2025 aired one year ago.

Approaching a priest and seeking absolution in the bathroom cuz you feel bad about doing a fascism is wild

1. As the prospect of war with the Islamic Republic of Iran has increased, Neo-Nazis like Stew Peters have become more and more dangerous and deranged. Keep in mind, he has many followers and many fans, and he is just one of many Neo-Nazi influencers.

People will look back at this time in history and shake their heads #auspol

It is a problem that the Big Lie is foundational to this administration.

NEW: Pope Leo’s newly appointed Bishop, Michael Pham, outside the court in San Diego: “We need to speak up for the voiceless in our society - and we will.” The video then shows masked ICE agents leaving without snatching anyone today. More of this resistance nationwide! 👏 (🎥 PSL San Diego)

Japan scraps US meeting after Washington demands more defense spending www.ft.com/content/53f6...

A UK doctor is under review & could lose his license for providing fake Covid vaccine exemptions, threatening colleagues with retaliation for lodging complaints and engaging in unreasonable conduct causing distress to the LGBTQ+ community. Good. We need more accountability for these “influencers”

"For so long people with ME/CFS have been told it’s all in their head. It’s not. We see [it] in their blood." 😭 www.thetimes.com/article/72d9...

Dear climate scientists, Please be mindful of how you discuss climate issues right now. The kids are becoming suicidal on TikTok again because they truly believe the world will end when we hit 1.5°C. Sincerely, A very exhausted climate communicator

It remains an extremely serious problem with this website that genuine fundraisers from Palestianians are being caught by both automatic and human-curated moderation Bsky needs to put resources into fixing this but it won't without more pressure from its users

My mother died from lung cancer caused by asbestos. She didn’t work w/ it; her father did: She breathed in fibers he brought home on his clothes. Years later, it killed her. She was 60. Her death was terrible & also a metaphor for how reckless decisions cause permanent harm in heartbreaking ways.

Russia needs to move away from dividing companies into purely defense-industrial ones and those operating in the civilian segment only, Putin said. Putin basically confirmed that the Russian economy has been put on military rails.

A poll showing Democrats badly want new leaders collides with polls showing they like the ones they have. nymag.com/intelligence...

This is a very worrying over-reaction to a peaceful protest. I expect @palaction.bsky.social has its own legal team but we are reaching out to them (and have contacted a leading KC) and would love to help. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Putin: "Some specialists and experts point to the risks of stagnation and even recession. This, of course, must not be allowed to happen." Good thing that's how the economy works - following dictatorial orders.

Sigh. 1. Stop using woke this way. 2. Read Cyberlibertarianism

Oh my god, lol

North Korea is considering sending 25,000 workers to a drone manufacturer in Russia to boost production in exchange for training in how to operate the unmanned aircraft – NHK The workers would be sent to the Alabuga Special Economic Zone www3.nhk.or.jp

Honestly, I won’t mind if russians just 🍽️ each other, if it means more good russians🤷‍♀️

"I've seen such horrors! This Russia has ruined my life." Ahad Wali, born March 3, 1993, is a Pakistani who does not speak Russian but is fighting for the aggressor state. At home, he has a wife and four kids.

What do you think? Is 3 levels of govt is too much for 27 million people?! I think it is. 2 levels will be more efficient and CHEAPER! Obviously not as simple as wiping out one, state & local council need to be revamped to meet the needs of Australians today. #Auspol #ausvotes25 #mspau #auspolhq

More on that Russian economic collapse. At the St Petersburg International Economic Forum, the Governor of the Bank of Russia Elvira Nabiullina said: “We have experienced…high growth over the past two years…The reserves have largely been used up, and many companies are now facing a labor shortage.”

The resources that had enabled the Russian economy to grow for 2 years under conditions of war&sanctions have been exhausted, –Governor of the Bank of Russia Elvira Nabiullina. "We have experienced relatively high growth over the past 2years because we were able to tap into unused resources& labor

Other opinions voiced at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum: ▪️ "The state may not have enough money." The head of the Duma's Budget Committee Andrey Makarov warned that Russia could follow the same path as the USSR:⤵️

After 450 million years of evolutionary history, shark populations are collapsing, and more than a third of shark species and their relatives face extinction. Now scientists are trying to use the lure of “Jaws” to advance shark conservation efforts.

NEVER buy anything Adobe. Adobe is the example of what greed does to a company. No matter how outraged people are; no matter that the FTC is suing Adobe and executives for this practice; Adobe keeps doing it. I got scammed by this same practice in 2020 the same way: I switched to Affinity instead.

Remember when we liberated Afghani women by murdering them in the thousands and then abandoning them 20 years later?
