Photojournalist Kostiantyn Liberov writes on his Instagram about yet another evacuation of people affected by Russian aggression - this time from Kostiantynivka:

β€œKostiantynivka. All roads into the city are controlled by enemy drones.

On my flight today, a chatty lady said, β€œI can’t go to New York with all that’s going on over there.” And I said, β€œWhat? Free child care?” And she stopped talking to me.

Ring cancels its partnership with Flock Safety after surveillance backlash Flock off

Ring has done this before. They partner with cops, get backlash, withdraw a bit, wait for it to calm down, and then go right back to working with cops. Don't believe this spin.

States Weigh Bills to Allow You to Make Your Own Electricity

Call your state representative today and politely demand they pass a balcony solar law like Utah’s. Just plug it into your outdoor outlet and start saving $$ immediately. No permits or electrical work required. Millions have already done it in Germany, proving it is safe and effective.

This is far from the first time @weratedogs.com has provided crucial context on issues seemingly (but not actually) disconnected from 12/10 dogs. Also, as someone actively involved in local lost dog rescues, I recommend hiring a trained and licensed person with a drone to help find your lost pup.

Excerpt from the article in aljazeera:

β€œExperts and witnesses attributed this phenomenon to Israel’s systematic use of internationally prohibited thermal and thermo-baric weapons, often referred to as vacuum or aerosol bombs, capable of generating temperatures exceeding 3,500 degrees Celsius (6,332 degrees Fahrenheit).”

From the Wikipedia page on Pyroclastic Flows: 
β€œ A pyroclastic flow (also known as a pyroclastic density current or a pyroclastic cloud) is a fast-moving current of hot gas and volcanic matter (collectively known as tephra) that flows along the ground away from a volcano at average speeds of 100 kmph (30 m/s; 60 mph; 90 ft/s) but is capable of reaching speeds up to 700 km/h (90m/s; 430 mph 640 ft/s). The gases and tephra can reach temperatures of about 1000 C (1800 F).

No wonder they β€œjust evaporated” these weapons exceed pyroclastic flow levels of temperatures

I miss having a dog, too. This was Butterscotch. She often sat in my seat in the truck, so one day I told her β€œokay- you drive!” She was a little… concerned about this change of events. 🀣

With Ring, American Consumers Built a Surveillance Dragnet Ring's 'Search Party' is dystopian surveillance accelerationism.

Ring is a wildly dangerous company. Always has been. But it has sort of flown under the radar the last couple years as it tried to soften its image. Make no mistake that this is an extremely dangerous surveillance dragnet:
