Do (almost) anything for a golden torc. Reputed to put up with silver and comply. Vicious when cornered for real, Skathe. I don’t want to talk about it. Rowane.

🔥🚨 MAJOR JUST IN: The SAVE America Act Just Failed In The Senate.

The measure, which would have required voter ID and proof of citizenship nationwide, was rejected 48-50.

Republican senators Thom Tillis, Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell, and Susan Collins voted no.

A remarkable video:
Putin, an obscure 1991 Leningrad bureaucrat, warning against the return of totalitarian rule to Russia—paired with his reaction to those words as President in 2002. The irony writes itself.

🚨Every Building you see in this picture forms part of the Russian embassy complex in Ireland.

As of 2024, they had 14 staff including 5 of Diplomatic rank. They also sought planning permission for an extension.

Just why do they need so much space? What are they up to?

@yarotrof The Republic can nationalize the feckin thing tomorrow, ffs, and easily hire engineering talent from across the EU and beyond if it is short on that commodity, customers too.

And, saints preserve us, Irish catholic anti-semitism is a *hell* of a thing.

[Yaroslav Trofimov @yarotrof]

Got it. If Irish aluminum is used to kill Palestinians, it’s shouldn’t be sold, but if it’s used for Russian missiles killing Ukrainians, we just need to think about local jobs first.

Preventing bad actors from creating synthetic versions of dead plagues is a good thing, but doing it while also disarming our ability to control real biothreats like screwworm and natural pandemic respiratory viruses is pretty much the definition of biosecurity theater

[Michael Baym @baym]

Pretending like someone with an AI model and some gene synthesis is anything close in threat scale to the horrible diseases that we have spent centuries beating back serves more to market AI tools than provide a sober realistic assessment of threats

every winter the ground squirrel basically dissolves 60% of its synapses, and its heartbeat slows to around 2 beats per minute.

somehow it is able to recover ~all its connection within 2 hours of waking, and recalls all its alliances

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

@nodnodwinkwink That’s because Ireland is a major hub for russian spies and it’s a national embarrassment

[Maybe Later @nodnodwinkwink]

@CaolanReports Have you ever looked into the absolutely massive Russian embassy compound in Dublin?
13 buildings, 3 of which look like apartment buildings and what looks like construction/curiously deep excavation underway for a 14th.

Proud to be the first high school student in the world to ever be sanctioned by an authoritarian regime for uncovering corruption. It just proves that the work I’ve done to expose Russias sanctions evasion stablecoin, A7A5, has touched a raw nerve.

From 1966 to 2025 we dropped sterile flies over South America that ate screwworm and thus prevented them from spreading, but the le epic efficient cracked coders at DOGE thought this was a silly waste of the ~0 dollars it cost us.

@RichardDawkins is no Genghis Khan, I note. Rose to power, as it were, half a century ago but his offspring can be counted on the fingers of one finger. Big gametes too so good luck displacing the rest of us. Meme-wise he is prolific, though, daddy-o. Errs of course, like nature.

37 years ago the Chinese army killed large numbers of people in Beijing and elsewhere when it cracked down on student protests. I was there and saw it happen myself. Nowadays China tries to claim the Tiananmen massacre was invented by the international media. That’s a total lie.
