YouTube video by 60 Minutes Volodymyr Zelenskyy: The 2025 60 Minutes Interview

Präsident Zelenskyj gab 60 Minutes am Freitag ein Interview und lockert seine diplomatische Sprache - korrekterweise - in Richtung MAGAstan.

Es sagt, dass in MAGAstan russische Narrative vorherrschen und sprach von einer Verschiebung der Realitäten. Ausserdem lud er 🍊🤡 nach Kyiv ein.

Sehenswert! 👇

Kira rushed home to save her cat. Valeriia and Emik spent several days in the hospital. Their apartments were destroyed, and Kira's school was damaged.

23 children were injured by the Russian missile attack on Sumy.
This is the terrible reality of war for Ukrainian children.

Tämä on tärkeää, ja siitä puhutaan liian vähän.

Just a couple of weeks later, the russian terrorists erased our shining Mariupol 💔 Never forgive, never forget russian savagery and brutality. For the sake of peace and prosperity in Europe, russia must be defeated. #RussiaIsATerroristState

Painting from Mattheus van Helmont: "The Alchemist". mid c17. A room with a working table is shown: an old man works at the table which is full of objects and books. Assistants are too working in the busy alchemist's shop.

"The Alchemist", a painting from Mattheus van Helmont from mid seventeenth century, is rich in detail, and full of #earlymodern paper details. Here is a 🧵, dear #skystorians, unfortunately not about the large écorché figure, a distillation apparatus over a fire, but about #paperhistory.

Enjoy.

I love this.

We have used Twitter – now X – for many years. It has been a resource for story-gathering, network-building, and a megaphone for getting public-interest stories to a wider audience. And it has been a well of ideas and discourse. Unfortunately that well is now poisoned. All of us have seen X become more toxic and broken since Elon Musk took over in 2022. Feeds have become less useful. Engagement has plummeted, except for those who will pay. Replies gain traction not through merit, but through the corrupted blue-tick system. We have seen hate speech and abuse deliberately dialled up and amplified, boosted not just by the algorithm, but by the owner himself. And England’s racist summer riots were one of many factors suggesting to us that X is not a neutral platform, but a space that now seems to glorify misinformation at a great cost to our public sphere. Millions of people are ditching X, and we are doing so, too. We have taken the view that it is no longer a useful tool for objective reporting, but a weapon being wielded by a narrowing ideological set. A tipping point is coming. Perhaps we are already in it. After much consideration, we have taken the decision to move over to other platforms, in particular Bluesky. For some of us that means instantly deleting our X accounts, for others it is a more gradual process. But we are all putting the majority of our efforts into building more constructive online spaces elsewhere for political dialogue and reporting. Bluesky is becoming a new hub for political discussion, and we encourage other UK journalists to join and become active. We are already seeing far higher engagement on our posts there than we’ve seen recently on X. And importantly, the mechanisms to limit abuse actually work. We enjoyed Twitter while it lasted. It played an important role in shaping many of our careers. And it was, for a long time, the place to be for UK politics. We believe that time is now over. Twitter is dead. Long live Twitter

We need to get Zelenskyy on this platform

It also misses that for most of us this is a hobby, and Twitter stopped being fun. I don't have some kind of moral obligation to broaden the debate/ communicate for my team/ whatever. It's my phone, it's my time, and they're my thumbs, if I prefer Bluesky its no-ones business but mine.
