The entire direction of the post-Cold War world is being decided in Ukraine. Either the free world shows it can defend itself from hostile dictatorships, allowing democracy and rights to flourish, or a descent into corruption, might makes right, and volatile spheres of power.

Letter from 🇸🇪 🇩🇰 🇫🇮 🇨🇿 🇳🇱 🇵🇱 🇪🇪 🇱🇻 🇱🇹 🇮🇸 🇳🇴 proposing new measures to limit EU tourist visas for Russian citizens 👇

[Sweden in EU @SwedeninEU]

”Last year almost 500 000 Russian tourists were let into Europe, while Ukrainians were dying on the battlefield. This situation needs to be stopped.

That is why we, together with 10 other Member States, have put forward an initiative for new EU visa restrictions for Russian citizens.” @JohanForssell at JHA

🦾 A new study measured how AI-generated text actually affects the content on the internet:

They found NO evidence that AI text has led to more factual errors on the internet.

The curve does in fact lean toward FEWER factual errors as AI text increases.

But the correlation is not statistically significant, so the researchers’ conclusion is more cautious.

They also checked five other possible negative effects of AI text. Two of them were confirmed, but three were not.

Measles vaccines save millions of lives each year.

Measles used to be an extremely common disease. Just sixty years ago, over 90% of children would have been infected by it, and of those who developed symptoms, around a quarter would be hospitalized.

The US alone had around three to four million cases annually, leading to tens of thousands of hospitalizations and hundreds of deaths each year.

However, in 1963, John Enders developed the first effective measles vaccine. Vaccination efforts ramped up rapidly in richer countries, and in the 1970s and 1980s, they were scaled up worldwide.

In just the last fifty years, it’s estimated that measles vaccinations have prevented over *90 million* deaths worldwide.

Two to three million people would die from measles every year without them. This means these vaccines are likely the most life-saving ones currently in use.

New study of 111,646 women: GLP-1 use was linked to about 30% lower breast cancer incidence.

For scale, tamoxifen (the drug we prescribe to prevent it) runs about 38%, minus the endometrial cancer and clot risk.

Not proof yet, but looks very promising.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Our long-range sanctions carried out by the warriors of the Security Service of Ukraine, the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, and the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine have yielded good results. Important facilities on Russian territory were hit last night.

Among them was the Petersburg Oil Terminal. The distance from Ukraine’s state border to this facility of Russia’s oil industry, which serves the war, is about 1,100 kilometers. Purely military targets at the Kronstadt base were also hit.

Another target was an enterprise in the Tambov region involved in the production of Russian weapons. The distance from the frontline is almost 600 kilometers.

I thank our warriors for their precision. Ukraine’s plan for long-range sanctions is being implemented exactly as needed to bring peace closer. Glory to Ukraine!
