Again, for emphasis: russia has not agreed to ANYTHING. Nearly 100% of the media coverage presents the current situation as: if Ukraine agrees to giving up Donbas, there will be peace. That is not the case! Stop acting as if it were.

I had a really positive impression of Glasgow. Before visiting, I dreaded the weather. But you can dress for it. The cycle infrastructure wasnโ€™t bad, the people are nice and the food was good. Thereโ€™s a sense that the city was once great, hit a rough patch, and is on its way back. Would visit again.

And as more and more missiles and drones started to fall down,
the people of Belgorod, began more and more to frown.
But they could not see each otherโ€™s faces
in the times of an attack,
as the power had been knocked out, and everything was black.

Fuck โ€˜em

I feel some McGonagall coming onโ€ฆ

Oooooooooh!
It was in the terrible year of 2026
that the people of Belgarod
found themselves in quite a fix.
Though theyโ€™d first rejoiced
at their countryโ€™s unjust aggression,
when drones flew back,
their faces took on a darker expression.

Has anyone written a plug in that changes 'Elon Musk' to 'Village idiot' automatically on here yet? His nonsense makes much more sense when presented that way.

Unbelievably this wasnโ€™t even raised on SkyNews just now during the interview with Reform's head of policy Zia Yusuf.

Russia Just Declared War On My Channel
YouTube video by Paul Warburg Russia Just Declared War On My Channel

This is wild. Russian government using AI to generate fake YouTube videos where well known Ukrainian supporters & influencers make pro-Putin content.
Expect much more of this. Especially in the run up to the midterms-

โ€˜Absolute hellโ€™: Irishman with valid US work permit held by Ice since September Seamus Culleton has been in a detention facility in Texas for nearly five months despite having no criminal record

This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy.

Iโ€™m very sad Jeane Freeman died. She was a lovely person, who used to indulge in chats via DM before Musk messed it up. Itโ€™s not often a Communist makes the journey through Labour to supporting independence. Jeane was ahead of her time. And a very good human being. Condolences to her partner Susan!

Big attack by fascist Russia on democratic Ukraine tonight: Shahed-type attack drones currently menacing Kyiv, Kalibr cruise missiles heading for Burshtyn power plant in Ivano-Frankivsk, 2 Tu-160 and 4 Tu-95 strategic bombers airborne, heading for cruise missile launch positions.

Wes Streeting saying on Today that Mandelson is โ€˜not the man we thought he wasโ€™ but the trouble is, he is exactly the man we thought, just on a much worse scale than almost anyone thought. And there is an alternative world where none of this is this govtโ€™s problem, because they never gave him a job
