🔴 RSF INVESTIGATION
Like a criminal organization that launders dirty money, how the Russian state used false information about RSF in a video to give value and lend credibility to its war propaganda.

I found a pro-Russian YouTube account operating in West Africa that uses a basic generative AI tool to make videos.
We can conclude from this that russians are very much pro-cunnilingus which is a surprise welcome in these dark times...

Wagner it’s +5000 people deployed in Africa and Syria supporting and maintaining regimes in place and it’s also the “influence” economy through so called panafrican influencers. Depending on what happens, it could mean more instability in #Mali #CAR #Libya #Sudan

Au #Mali, sur Facebook, on observe un chevauchement entre la sphère officielle malienne et la sphère des panafricanistes pro-russes ; les deux sphères partagent globalement la même audience (qui interagit également avec les médias locaux souvent en soutien de la junte malienne).

We have been experiencing climate change for a long time. We’re past the point of luxury where we can wait for an apparent catastrophe to happen in order to start taking this thing (literally life) seriously

@nicupopescu @natgavrilita @sandumaiamd Congratulations Nicu!

On another note, it is baffling to me how in a country as conspiracy-theory driven as Turkey we haven't seen more of these North American alt-right inspired campaigns

[Berke Alikasifoglu @BAlikasifoglu]

Trending in Turkey right now is "burn your masks Turkey". Haven't seen any counter tags yet, maybe people are just too tired to deal with this shit a year+ into the pandemic
