Protests took place in towns and cities around Poland on Thursday evening, demanding that the government fulfil its promise to liberalise the countryโs strict abortion laws.
I like seeing Putin criticism in random places. like this video exploring a long-time russian tradition of keeping the slowly-rotting corpse of Vladimir Lenin on display. what better way to remember the architect of the USSR, the Red Terror, famine, death... youtu.be/My7MhdGjLzo?...
As much as I'd like it to be true, Ukraine bombing Yandex data centers didn't stop russian bots. I'm sorry. there's rich politicians & companies shaping our opinions through social media manipulation. but we need to regulate the fuck out of social media. & bomb russia youtu.be/kx80tB6A8x0?...
on the "panic" around rising family estrangement rates: so many of these articles downplay the reasons why adult children go no contact with their parents, & there's almost always reasons. missing missing reasons in the parent's retelling.
Every article has the same premise: Young people are characterizing their normal, happy childhoods as abusive and going "no contact" with their parents over minor disagreements. Every article also, late in the text, blithely acknowledges that this premise is false. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/14/h...

Zelenskyy: "When our strikes reached Yandex data centers, it suddenly became little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. Many people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, fewer provocations because there were fewer bots. It's pretty clear where those bots were coming from.

If you've heard about Last Ditch Bar & masks, but not Taylor Lorenz lecturing disabled Palestinian activist Maysoon Zayid for NOT wearing a mask... & the online left laughing at Lorenz's stance on masking... you've fallen for the media wanting to make leftist queers look like weirdos
I donโt know anything about the lesbian bar youโve all been picking on but I do know the stats on lesbian bars are depressing and that seems more important. www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/rise-...

PRIMETIME, which portrays Chris Hansen as a twisted egomaniac, is really good. Itโs also the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Hansen, who has long turned child sexual abuse into a spectacle centering himselfโat the expense of actual victims. spitfirenews.com/p/chris-hans...

FUCKING FINALLY. THANK YOU. look, I'm not all crazy about triggering article 5 or officially starting WWIII. But russia will continue to send drones & who knows what else. Better to draw some boundaries now
โก๏ธPoland to ease rules for shooting down drones, missiles entering from Russia. Visual identification of targets by pilots would not longer be required, Poland's Deputy Defense Minister said.

NEW: The Kremlin continues to categorically deny Russiaโs role in creating a humanitarian crisis in occupied Oleshky, instead blaming the Ukrainian government to deflect from Russiaโs international legal responsibility. Read the full update: https://isw.pub/OccupationUpdate092426

"three days" sure buddy, that's how long you said it would take to conquer Kyiv. and how is that going xD
"If Poland enters into military action against Russia...Warsaw will cease to exist within two or three days,โ claims a senior advisor to Putin in response to remarks by Poland's foreign minister that NATO could defeat Russia "quite quickly" if it attacked the alliance
such a hopeful thought. I'd love to return to Kharkiv, walk at night under the street lights
Once this war is over, I will walk through Kharkiv in the evening, marveling at the returning streetlights like a child! You have no idea what luxury it is to have them. โI will hug every returning student who brings back our cityโs lost spirit.
