Some of the best-trained units were transferred to Kupyansk, in particular soldiers of the 13th Khartiya Brigade. Ukrainian forces were able to push back the Russians and raised the flag over the city council building.

The fact that she's decided to mirror his choice of raspberry clothing should be a sign to anyone doubting her membership of the delusional fruit loop society. Raspberry is not a common colour.

Remember when the press used to ask questions…

“When the Epstein files started coming out, something powerful happened.
Independent journalists. Survivors. Subscribers. Ordinary people who were tired of being lied to.
We united and we started reading. Line by line. Name by name. Connection by connection,” Lev Parnas.

Cutting science isn’t belt-tightening, it’s self-sabotage. You don’t just lose grants, you lose people, cures, industries, and power. By the time the damage is visible, the future has already moved somewhere else.

YouTube video by Jake Broe Russians Say Country is "Hopeless" after Losing Telegram

Ukraine has opened their first drone production factory in Germany that will supply drones for the war and sell drones to European armies. Russia's military is still in chaos after losing Starlink and Telegram and Ukraine is going on the offensive to retake positions.

The death toll from Musk’s budget cuts will surpass that of every war in the last few decades combined.

He knowingly triggered famines and collapsed health systems, yet he faces no consequences.

We need to stop calling it cost-cutting and start calling it what it is: mass murder

The greatest threat Russia presents right now is that it gains more at the negotiation table than it has achieved on the battlefield
Russia is no superpower.After more than a decade of conflict,including 4yrs of full-scale war in Ukraine,Russia has barely advanced beyond the 2014 lines

Minor point perhaps but it's always said Epstein never drank. If so, why does he have a glass of wine in that picture?

Steve Pinker, a longtime darling of the establishment and the powerful, really has some interesting friends and social circles.

They were fine overlooking his troubling statements against, well, the rest of us who weren't white or male.

Here he is at a 2004 dinner hosted by Epstein. Of course.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

All these people are essentially conmen. Conmen operate by convincing people they have some great plan, some great vision, when they don't, they just have a nice patter, in BS.

Interesting article. The billionaired think they are the master race.

"Billionaires really like thinkers who see their exploitation of the weak as a good and natural thing"

I bonded with Virginia a few years back over a mutual fascination with Edge.org. I recognised its influence years ago, even pitched a piece on it...but I did not seethe ideology beneath the 'science' Epstein/Brockman promoted which @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social lays bare

The billionaires' eugenics project: how Epstein infiltrated Harvard, muzzled the humanities and preached master-race science Edge - Jeffrey Epstein's favourite intellectual salon - was sold to me as a gathering of the world's finest minds, writes Virginia Heffernan. The files reveal it was something far darker: a decades-lo...

NEW: Read this terrific piece @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social for @thenerve.news in which she unpicks Edge.org, the hugely influential 'salon' funded by Epstein & threaded through with race science & eugenics.

This isn't something distant or far away. Super-agent & close Epstein ally, John Brockman had huge influence. His 'rockstar' writers, scientists and academics dominated our book pages & broadsheets.

We need nothing less than a total revisionist history of the last 20 years.

I've often wondered how Steven Pinker's amazingly sloppy research and baseless claims* have for so long received a free pass. I wonder whether it could have something to do with a. his connections with the rich and powerful; b. his claims often aligning with what they want to hear.
*See next post.

3/3 Here’s the fact they can’t outrun:

They’re scared out of their f*cking minds.

Because now IT is too big… and WE are too powerful… for this to ever “fade away.”

This doesn’t “go away.” This doesn’t “blow over.” This doesn’t get “memory-holed.”
Not this time.
Not happening.
