🇺🇦👀 Zelensky: When our strikes reached Yandex data centers, there was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations on social media. Because there were fewer bots, it's pretty clear where those bots were coming from.

I have finished a first written draft for publication of my Kathleen Hughes lecture (ASNC Cambridge, May 2025) about "Linguistic Contributions to a Model for the Celticisation of the Western Archipelago" and uploaded it at www.academia.edu/178731896/Li.... Please feel free to read and comment.

Russia's gift to Putin on his birthday. The toll from the strike on a five-story residential building in Pryluky has risen to 9 dead and 50 injured. Rescuers recovered the bodies of three children from the rubble. 27 people were hospitalized, three in serious condition, 12 were rescued. #Ukraine

Voting is brisk in the Russian elections!
In Mari El, Russia, they apparently decided to speed up the election: two stacks of ballots were stuffed into the box at once. The video from polling station No. 343 in the village of Azanovo was published by Communist Party State Duma deputy Sergey Kazankov. .
