The dog is the detail that sticks, and thats the point of a ballistic strike on a residential district: blast trauma does the work indiscriminately. First responders trying CPR on an animal while one person is dead and fifteen hurt is Kyivs ordinary morning now.

💔 A Russian ballistic missile strike on Kyiv killed one person and injured 15 others, while leaving a dog fatally wounded by severe blast trauma. First responders fought desperately on-site to resuscitate the injured animal, but it succumbed to its wounds.

Wait until they hear about Hegseth’s Signal chat.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people.

Worst ever episode of ‘Traitors’

Attended a Tony Benn speech and he said the main function of a government was to make people feel safe. Farage is doing the opposite. The UK ISN'T broken. Farage needs to attend, say, a Park Run and see decent people getting on with their lives, not obsessing that others are having a better time.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.
