What the hell? Per WSJ, Ukrainian drones have been forced to fly more slowly because of new limits on Starshield, the military version of Starlink,put in place at Elon Musk‘s personal direction. Zelensky told Rubio the speed needs to be restored. How in the world are we letting Musk call the shots?

I think its time to put this issue to bed permanently and ceaselessly mock the separatists pushing this idiocy.

South African judge Navi Pillay - who headed a UN commission that last year found Israel was committing a genocide in Gaza - has just been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The Nobel committee hailed her as "one of the most respected international jurists of our time."

Our taxpayer dollars are being spent at an American company (in the middle of a trade war) that offers better deals to folks walking in off the street than to teachers ordering through the Ontario Ministry of Education portal. Make it make sense!!! #OntEd

Oh, honey . . . You didn’t show up to that game to support women. You showed up to opportunistically use women to rudely score some desperately needed attention. And harassing women is *not* supporting them. Let THAT sink in.

What's up with the nuclear drills in #Belarus? Russia and Lukashenka are using these "military exercises" as a form of nuclear pressure and intimidation. Belarus is being pulled deeper into #Russia's nuclear strategy, and Lukashenka is fully cooperating with it.

This is just the PQ’s “sovereignty association” with a new name. A province cannot, by definition, be “sovereign within a united Canada.” It’s nonsense.

Pierre Bourdieu once argued that the question of whether something is art isn't answered by the artist's intention or even the object itself. Instead, the quality of being "art" is conferred by a community — curators, dealers, auction houses, audiences, etc. 🧵

"Prisoner exchange" means Poland jailed enough high value Belarusian intelligence assets for the swap to be attractive for Lukashenka. Big score for Sikorski and Tusk, as Poczobut being absent from the recent big BY political prisoner release was a sore point for Poland.

#Belarus Andrzej Poczobut is being released in a Belarus-Poland prisoner exchange after years behind bars. A courageous journalist, activist and symbol of resilience, his freedom is long overdue. This is a reminder that political prisoners must all be freed.
