pitching a movie in which J. R. R. Tolkien arises from the dead to take academically-coded revenge on the techbros and MAGAs who continue to grotesquely misunderstand his work

As funny as the picture can be, that claim can't be further away from the truth: Moscow is precisely far more fortified with AD than anywhere else in Muscovy, and they recently have built upon it.

Painting this war about territories, about who owns how much land (without locking at population distribution) and even on who owns what land is very misleading. While Ukraine wishes all their territory to be liberated, this is not a war about land control, but control of a people and their identity

Ukraine still holds a couple of villages in Luhansk, with no indication they will fall any time soon. The main population centres in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, including their namesake regional capitals, are well under Ukrainian control.

My respect to Ukrainians who have lived through this regularly for almost 4 years now, and going.

Now that I live it through my flesh, I understand.

I thought I did before, but I didn't. Not truly.

As someone currently in Kyiv, getting bombed, this.

Titular engañoso, hace pensar que Mark Bray recibió amenazas desde España cuando las ha recibido de extremistas en EEUU.

De hecho él mismo señala a la propia administración Trump de querer fabricar una crisis al evitar que él y su familia salgan de EEUU.

I'm as desperate to see the moral abominations in Gaza end as the rest of you, and I understand why there is so much anticipation that this might finally be a ceasefire, but given how this has played out over 2 years, some caution and skepticism should probably be advised.

Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Майдан Незалежності, Independence Square) at Kyiv, Ukraine, on the 5th October 2025. The picture shows memorials of the thousands of Ukrainians, as well as many international volunteers, who died defending the country against the russian invasion.

I was prepared for the emotions I would live through when I would visit Maidan, but I still was overwhelmed by them.

Absolutely agreed. That's why we have to be careful between just calling them populists, which is legitimising, and saying that their tactics are populist because they exploit emotions that a segment of the population has.

So of course "the people" don't want the extremist measures the far right promotes and pushes for, but a lot of people do wish change because their lives are not turning how they wanted to be, and these far right actors present themselves as the only avenue for the change they desire.

While I agree with this point, it is also true that the far right is tapping on sentiments that an important part of the population, especially younger folk, have. I would still define that as populist.

It's true that the term legitimises extremists, but ignoring this aspect can also be blinding.

As a Westerner currently in Ukraine, under air raid alert: your opinion is valid but:

Elections: let's judge if they don't return after the war

Drafts: agreed it could be far better

Aid: that's how alliances work, they are facing a powerful enemy.

This doesn't take Ukraine's merits away.

I'm seeing a lot of people in my circle spreading the news as real, but unfortunately they aren't.

Please, always verify information before getting carried away by the hype.

Russia test once again

Another aggregator who steals content without giving credit, and just posts whatever for clicks.

Don't rely on aggregators and follow open source researchers, if you don't directly follow Telegram channels (which always need to be taken with a grain of salt).

And talk with Ukrainians of course

Someone seems to be stealing my work without attribution:
bsky.app/profile/maks...

This is why I keep telling people to not follow Maks, not only he sometimes posts unverified content, but more importantly he posts other people's work without giving any credit, including content from fundraising campaigns.

Sad, but converting excel to plaintext is very straightforward

They didn't shoot down any, the one claimed intercepted was just followed and it crashed.

The others appear to have gone back to Ukraine at Izmail.

Incendiary Munitions Strike Gaza-bound Flotilla Two Nights in a Row - bellingcat On September 8 and 9, two vessels of the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) were attacked outside the port of Sidi Bou Said in Tunisia. Bellingcat analysed footage and images from both incidents. ...

The largest aid flotilla in history has been attacked twice in two days whilst in port in Tunisia. Open source analysis suggests an incendiary munition is to blame, contradicting official statements. www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/09...

Excellent work, congrats!

Way too small to be a Flamingo. Looks like Peklo.

A child born and killed in a war. Just so fucking bleak

Morning after another russian attack, first news I read: a body of a 1 year old child was found under the rubble of a home in Kyiv

The most unhinged ever? Don't you mean the most unhinged so far?

Can't wait for Orbán and his goons to get the Yanukovych treatment
