Having skimmed by the first instalment of the #slopdyssey, I see that they managed to, for some reason, make the Greeks looks even more like Vikings and apply even more "ancient = no colors allowed to exist" filter than Nolan :D

“Yeah I did it again, bitches. Fuck you, I like these dinners.” @billmaher lashes out, defends himself for having dinner with Trump again. He says Trump had good etiquette, never lost his temper or yelled… How nice! Imagine being this far up your own ass.

"Donald Trump's cognitive decline raises new question about Joe Biden" I guess...

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

So we finally got some media companies to write stories about Trump’s weird obsession with men’s bodies, when do we get the obvious cognitive decline stories? 2029?

FT: Isn’t it better for you to make unilateral declaration that you will not strike Russian refineries, even if Russia continues striking your energy infrastructure, in order to get Trump administration back on side? Zelenskyy: “If such a moment comes and such a deal requires Ukraine not to respond

If I had a dollar for every "American Patriot" who insisted before the Presidentials that Trump will be good for Ukraine... I would probably have like two dollars because I guess bulk of them went "poof" recently.

"Ukrainian troops have been caught off guard by restrictions on Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet systems that disrupted frontline operations, while Kyiv received no warning from its partners of a Russian missile attack on its energy facilities for the second day running."

While clearing debris following a Russian strike in Kharkiv, a concrete slab collapsed onto rescue workers. One of them is in critical condition. They are working under unbelievable pressure, with people screaming for help from under the rubble and russian drones continue to

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of true live patriotic Americans from Floridskaya AO and Teksaskiy Krai suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something great has happened.

The Yandex datacenter in Vladimir received drone sanctions, and is currently being migrated to the cloud. According to the Yandex status board, all Yandex services are completely unavailable in Russia. Maybe targeting our datacenters was a bad idea. Enjoy your digital detox.📵

I believe this is on the level of "Iran deals". Still, a clear statement of intent. Ukraine should go after diesel refining even harder...

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

I guess this is techbro admission the entire AI thing is black magic and nobody really knows what they are doing... No artifice in sight, just SUPERficial trickery? :) Anyway it's AI.

​This is 16-year-old Katya. Russia killed her in Sumy on September 27 when three guided bombs hit a residential neighborhood💔🕯 ​She was in her final year of high school. Her school shared: “Katya will forever stay in our hearts as a student, a friend, and an irreplaceable part of our school family”

New anthem of the US armed forces will be "It's a hard cock life for us..."? Some men would rather mandate everyone has a boner than go to therapy...

NEWS: The Pentagon has announced mandatory low-testosterone screenings for male troops 30 and older, including screening for symptoms such as “reduced libido, loss of spontaneous morning erections, erectile dysfunction,” and other symptoms.

So... More shady money donations to Farage per week than boats? Figures...

Today is pub day for my book, "HOW RUSSIA WON: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Fight for America." Please watch this video and pass it on. It's time to reclaim the Trump-Russia narrative and recognize Putin is continuing his years-long war on America and Trump is complicit. HowRussiaWon.com

Israel’s culture minister wants to strip film directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor of their Israeli citizenship for their movie Naza, which features testimonies of IDF soldiers admitting to knowingly killing civilians in Gaza

Nicolas Hénin@nicolashenin.net

Le ministre de la culture, Miki Zohar, a réclamé que Yuval Abraham et Rachel Szor, les réalisateurs de "Naza", soient déchus de leur citoyenneté. Leur film décrit, témoignages de militaires à l’appui, comment des civils sont tués par l’armée israélienne dans l’enclave palestinienne.

Trump: "We're making a fortune. So if the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000. It will be called the Trump Dividend. Congratulations."

So finally watched The Odyssey, in IMAX 70mm. Glorious spectacle. Beautiful retelling of a myth from an era of impending doom... I mean the references to upcoming BA collapse were a bit on the nose, but I guess only for people who know about it ... In any case, beautiful. #odyssey #movie

Oh and historical inaccuracies? The original is nailing down a heroic epic after centuries of oral tradition, freely mashes together at least two wars, and bronze and iron age. Homer did not care, at least Nolan kept things kinda unified ;)

Trump: "We don't need their product. So if we cut off trade with that country, we just made $40 billion. You do a few countries like that, and we become a big money machine." 🙃

I guess time to brush up on the "The hardest part of the two-week trade war are the first six months..."

🇺🇦 Zelensky: The brutal Russian “safari” against our people in Kherson has long gone beyond what any normal person can imagine. This morning, the Russians hit an ordinary minibus in Kherson with an FPV drone. Four people died, five more were injured. Pressure on the aggressor is needed.

For some reason Quora and Meta both are boosting flerf nonsense lately. If I learned anything, it is that apparently by taking composite photos I have removed several places on Earth from existence :D

Good thing the Congress is not alive to see it.

I'll be interviewing one of the survivors that attended the Blanche meeting this Sunday at noon PT on the @meidastouch.com YouTube channel. I'll post a link here Sunday morning.

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social

A source tells MS NOW that Todd Blanche told Epstein survivors during their meeting, "The FBI has the power to open investigations, not me." "I'm just the attorney general," Blanche added.

I thought he'd be busy writing something to the tune of "Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell lead us to more questions about Joe Biden's health"

TAPPER: Iran has declared the Strait of Hormuz closed. Is that true? TRUMP: It's open as far as we're concerned. Don't talk about it. Talk about the reason you asked me to speak.
