Nobody still believes the lie that Russia did not have its army in Ukraine since 2014, or that it was just a local separatist uprising.

Russia lied for years, and Russians like Prigozhin and Girkin have openly admitted it.

Why trust Russia on anything today?

‘In the end, you feel blank’: India’s female workers watching hours of abusive content to train AI Women in rural communities describe trauma of moderating violent and pornographic content for global tech companies

They want to tell you that the models train themselves now. That it's clean. It's pure.

It never is, is it? There's always a damnable human cost.

Ukrainian Ambassador to the UK Valerii Zaluzhnyi thanks the UK for its support, and says that Ukraine survived because its friends helped. To which I'd say yes, but we & our allies need to do so much more! If we had been bolder and more decisive in 2022 Ukraine might not be suffering 4 years later.

Orban could have abstained from his campaign of badmouthing Ukraine today. It’s the anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion, a day when we remember and mourn. But no. He is whining and crying even now.

Trump Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick admits he visited Jeffrey Epstein's private island in 2012 during a family vacation — after Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to a state-level charge of soliciting a minor for prostitution, which required Epstein to register as a sex offender.

Something too few people know is that there were potentially more deaths in just three months in Mariupol than in Gaza during the entire war, despite Mariupol having a much smaller population.

Russian war crimes and their magnitude are underestimated by many

Meanwhile in Russia…

“Russia has provided an explanation for the EU's new anti-Russian sanctions.”

It’s the 20th package, they should know by now.

🇷🇺: But I’m the victim!!! 🥺
🇪🇺: Will you leave Ukraine?
🇷🇺: no

Hate-filled fake videos about London are everywhere. We've obtained a recording of a TikToker confessing to secretly filming Londoners in their homes for clicks.

He says it's not political. He just wants to make money from far-right anger.

Read what he says: www.londoncentric.media/p/london-tik...

People often jump to saying online propaganda is either the work of radicalised actors, or else Russia.

In practice, it’s amazing how often the answer is much simpler – someone is chasing either (a) clout, (b) money, or (c) both.

Ukraine denied any role in the attack on GRU deputy chief Alekseyev. Ukrainian FM Sybiha suggested it may be an internal Russian affair. Russia's FSB claims the suspected shooter was detained in the UAE and acted on Kyiv's orders.

The Kremlin’s propaganda machine works overtime to hide one embarrassing stat: 0/23.

Since the start of the full-scale invasion, Russia has failed to capture and hold a single one of the 23 regional capital or special status cities Ukraine controlled in 2022.

What a failure!

I love Norway and the Norwegian people, but watching their monarchy confirms why I’m happy to live in a republic.

In a republic, if a ceremonial leader fails, we vote them out.

In a monarchy, you are kind of stuck with a dysfunction you didn't choose. It's an obsolete system

The @nytimes.com coverage of France's Grok investigation casts it as part of a conflict between U.S. & European speech rules. That's true only if you buy Elon's version.

This is a case about CSAM and NCII. Those are crimes in France, and crimes in the U.S. There's no transatlantic divide here. 1/

Qanon was never about taking down actual pedophiles and pursuing justice for victims. It was about smearing any and all prominent liberal figures while protecting and empowering actual pedophiles. Qanon was a movement of pedophiles, protecting pedophiles.
