How often is the author of a book still around to witness its 50th anniversary edition? The Selfish Gene is 50. I’ll be coming to America’s two great cultural landmarks, Chicago’s Symphony Center and New York’s Carnegie Hall, to speak about it. Two nights only. Tickets: richarddawkins.com/events

"This is genocide, and inaction is complicity" Olena Halushka

Bill Clinton: "We forced Ukraine to give up nuclear weapons, cruise missiles and strategic bombers. We promised to protect Ukraine from RuZia. We made Ukraine vulnerable. So, yes, this is OUR war." #Ukraine #Russia #Clinton #US #EU

Germany was completely defeated, denazified, and its people held accountable. It was given a democratic constitution to facilitate its transformation into an ally of the civilized world. If you're not prepared to defeat the barbaric russians, do you think they'll civilize themselves by magic?

#Brave #survivors of #Nova raise the next generation: 'We are broken parents who want a normal family'. Survivors of the music festival massacre describe babies born after #October7 as #victory over #death, while nightmares, heightened vigilance & fear for their children continue to affect life.

Before you believe anything, run it through Carl Sagan’s Baloney Detection Kit: What’s the evidence? Can it be independently verified? Is there a simpler explanation? What would prove it wrong? Do I believe it because I want it to be true? A pretty good filter for life.

What do Obama, Biden, and Trump have in common? All of them broke the U.S. commitment to help keep Ukraine safe in exchange for giving up nuclear weapons worth ~$500 bln.What a lesson for every young, independent democracy... P.S. Sorry, Barack fans, but we 🇺🇦👊 have our own perspective on this. 😢

Obama betrayed Ukraine plenty. The Budapest Memorandum was signed in 1994. ruzzia stole Crimea in 2014. That's when this all started. There are no good American presidents.

Here’s something to think about! Trump raped a 13 yr old girl

May I predict: Witkoff and Kushner say Putin really wants to stop the war, demand Kyiv to capitulate, Zelenskyy says no, they’ll say “Ukraine is being difficult”. 🥱

“If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we reject any evidence of the bamboozle. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” — Carl Sagan

Only in the Idiocracy States of America: Florida's Attorney General went full retard. arstechnica.com/health/2026/...

The West has de-escalated for 4 years, hoping Russia would do the same. Result = Russian escalation. As expected. Everyone slightly competent knows Russia interprets this western response as weakness. Decision makers believing the same approach would generate a different outcome, are idiots.

🇺🇦🫶🏻Happy Day of the State Flag of Ukraine to all brave Ukrainians! May your beautiful blue-and-yellow flag always fly high and free. 🇬🇪🫂🇺🇦 There wasn’t a single day during the #GeorgiaProtests when your flag was not there with us. Standing with you, always! 📸MoSe

Trump promises "TREMENDOUS Economic Consequences" to ANY country economically helping Iran. Or course though Russia is exempt from any consequences because Russia is Trump's favorite country in the world and Russia can help Iran kill as many American soldiers as they like.

🇷🇺 Sad horse Lavrov says Russia and North Korea are working together to create a new world order. 😂 Russia finally admits that its rightful place on the global political stage is alongside another pariah state — North Korea! 🔽🔽🔽

In the summer of 1988, the regime executed 30,000 political prisoners. Among them was her father’s cousin, at 18 years old, imprisoned and tortured for years before being killed. Today, in 2026, executions continue. The world must act. Join the campaign to #StopExecutionsInIran

Breaking: Trump announces the US will now be siding with North Korea and Kim Jong Un instead of the democratic South Korea. “Based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of North Korea...”

#BlueSky is bleeding users fast. I wonder what drives them away? Rampant #antisemitism, "remove trump" echochamber trash flood or the teenage IQ level anticapitalism posts? techcrunch.com/2026/08/11/b...

Up to 50,000 North Korean troops are being deployed to Russia to help Putin destroy Ukraine. Does the Republic of Korea (South Korea) want to do anything to help Ukraine beyond just humanitarian aid?

"Chicken or beef?" "Chicken. Completely chicken."

There are many reasons why you should not re-post articles from russian opposition media, one of which is that they often perpetuate Kremlin talking points without journalistic scrutiny. Please consider reading this article/book⬇️ before you re-post articles from the Meduza media outlet. Thank You.

I have little to add to the chat, but I will say this: Those of us who spend a lot of time talking about politics overestimate how much other people care about, or are even familiar with, the labels we use to describe, denigrate, or celebrate candidates. Sometimes we’re high on our own supply.
