#SaveTheAcademy - Update!
Since I highlighted the fight to save the museum and its over 19 million artefacts, hearings kept being delayed. Now the first one gave quite some insight, with another scheduled for next month.
Today’s hearing at City Hall regarding the closure of The Academy of Natural Sciences went well. Part 2: This Time with Subpoenas! is scheduled for Nov 16th.

I would temper my expectations about a new era coming to Serbia. The election winners have virtually the same geopolitical positions as Vucic; most previous election winners (Vucic included!) ran on anticorruption; the student movement is above all populist. Good luck to them but let’s be realistic.
People from Oleshky who wish to return to Ukrainian-controlled territory will first be taken to Crimea or Russia, according to FT sources‼️
At this point, we can only brace ourselves for a massive Russian propaganda campaign, legitimized on the international stage by Newsmax's presence.
The Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI) has linked the September 14 fire at the Carfil industrial platform in Brașov, near a state-owned arms plant, to a Russian-coordinated sabotage network.
European arrest warrants have been issued for three suspects (two Belarusians and one Ukrainian).

PM of Norway & President of Finland spoke with Putin. Then they called Zelenskyy, who shared:
I am grateful for detailed briefing and for support of our diplomacy and peace efforts. Alex & Jonas made it clear to Russian leader that real de-escalatory steps are needed reg our energy & infrastructure
All day I've been walking around shaken by a video. One where a rescuer strokes a dog wounded in an overnight Russian attack: a big, fluffy grey-and-white dog. And the poor thing is trembling in pain and dying. I can't forget the look in its eyes.
I got a ‘we are ok’ text from my loved ones . The previous night, during the attack . None in the morning . That’s when I realised i feel so anxious to not get one in the morning , that I am so used to having them in the morning by now , together with
EU-Klimakomissar Hoekstra sagt jetzt, wir müssen uns anpassen und auf eine Erwärmung von 3°C vorbereiten. Geht's noch? Es gibt keine Anpassung auf 3°C. 3°C ist wirtschaftlicher und sozialer Zusammenbruch.
Sehr geehrte Passagiere der Titanic, bitte jetzt rasch anpassen an ein Leben unter Wasser!

For a second time this month, Germany’s Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW) has handed over a modern firefighting vehicle with a ladder and rotating platform to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in the Zaporizhzhia Oblast to assist in rescue operations after Russian attacks.
Wenn euch ein Regierungspolitiker das nächste Mal das Märchen erzählen will, wir können uns als Staat etwas nicht leisten, konfrontiert ihn mit dieser Feststellung:
German skincare company Beiersdorf has no plans to leave Russia, its chief executive said on Tuesday, arguing the company needed to remain in the country to protect the Nivea brand after a dispute with a local business partner hurt third-quarter sales.

Zwei Berater Netanjahus, gegen die in Israel strafrechtlich ermittelt wird, betreiben politische Einflusskampagnen für Rechtsextreme und pro-russische Positionen in Europa. Nun führen Spuren zur CDU und zu BILD.
Residents of Tbilisi’s Didube district gathered to protest plans to build high-rise residential buildings and commercial space on the grounds of Expo Georgia, arguing that the development threatens one of the area’s few recreational spaces.

Hey, so, you might not have heard but using AI is the *opposite* of data security, privacy and independence.
You were doing so good up until this point.
Why would you opt to give up the majority of your userbase just to kiss Techbroligarch's rear ends, exactly?
Do better.
We notice.
This chart is insane. This shows Russia's casualties over time compared to Russia's territorial gains in Ukraine over the last five years.
No sane or rational person would say continuing the war to try and take more of Ukraine's territory is worth the casualties.
“Georgia Without Ivanishvili!”
Thousands have gathered in Tbilisi to protest Ivanishvili’s one-party rule and the ban on opposition parties.
Day 697 of uninterrupted protests in Georgia. #GeorgiaProtests ✊🇬🇪🇪🇺

Who does the ocean belong to?
I asked Otto Spijkers of Leiden University to explain the law of the sea, from territorial waters and fishing rights to deep-sea resources and international disputes.
We also built a glossary to make the key terms easy to follow.

I met with the defence ministers of France, Germany, Italy, Poland and the United Kingdom in Paris today for talks on support for Ukraine, European defence and the conflicts in the Middle East.
There is a new diplomatic push for peace in Ukraine, but Putin's actions tell a different story.
Ganz wichtig: Die extreme Rechte verschwindet nicht von alleine. Sie wird bekämpft, weil die Demokraten buchstäblich mehr sind & kämpfen, demonstrieren & wählen gehen. Wer aufgibt, lässt sie gewinnen. Wir können sie stoppen. Auch hier in Deutschland. Wir dürfen nur nicht aufhören, daran zu glauben.
Many comments on the great election victories in Brazil and Serbia state that the authorian right is in decline or that voters have rejected far-right authoritarianism. That is a wrong interpretation of what happened. Progressive movements mobilized and beat the authoritarian right. That's different
This is a must-read investigation by InformNapalm and Ukrainian Militant showing how Russian intelligence attempted to organize a paid protest in Budapest to promote Rosatom’s nuclear project.
I translated it into English so that everyone can see Russia’s tactics.
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kenya want their men back from Russia's army
Many went to Russia for work. Kyrgyzstan's foreign minister said some were forced to sign contracts in enlistment offices and jails.

Foreign cameras do not automatically mean independent reporting.
Estonian intelligence documented how Russia has organised controlled press tours of occupied Ukrainian territory, sometimes paying participants and using their accounts to amplify Kremlin narratives.
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.
