«Ho detto: “Mamma, ti voglio bene”. E lei mi ha risposto: “Anche io ti voglio bene”». Maksim, di Kramatorsk, ha salutato sua madre mentre il drone fpv si avvicinava. Lei è rimasta uccisa. Lo #humansafari russo è terrorismo. Servizio @le20hfrancetele

Why don't Western news outlets report daily on the humanitarian situation in occupied Oleshky?

Russia is letting 6,000 Ukrainians starve.

According to the local military administration, no food supplies have reached the city since May 26. There are even reports of families eating dogs out of desperation.

Where are the complete idiots who claim Russia wants peace? No, Russia wants to wipe out Ukraine.

We’re launching the Army of Robots.

In 2022, we launched the Army of Drones. Today, drones account for over 95% of battlefield strikes, and Ukraine has more than 700 UAV manufacturers.

Now we need the next technological breakthrough: the robotization of warfare.

The goal is simple — save lives. Robots should take on the most dangerous missions: evacuating the wounded, delivering ammunition, mining and demining, reconnaissance, defending positions and engaging targets.

The Army of Robots is not one company. It’s an ecosystem. We will invest in defense tech companies, launch our own technology projects, test them with the military and scale what works on the battlefield.

We’re now looking for defense tech companies and engineers working on robotic technologies — as well as a CTO / Tech Lead for the Army of Robots.

We have known the photographs of prisoners from Dachau, Buchenwald, Auschwitz, and Birkenau since childhood. These photos are from 2026. They show Ukrainian prisoners of war in Russian camps.

Oleshky is starving. People are left without food, water, and basic medical care.

[ScienceMatters, J.D. @ExScientia_Vera]

Google Oleshky. Then make noise. A lot of noise.

Russia is starving thousands of Ukrainians, including children.

Humanitarian corridor, now, @UN.

The youngest documented rape survivor was a four-year-old girl, and the oldest was an 82-year-old woman, with both cases perpetrated by Russian forces.

Nothing new, but if anyone in this world still cares about this, here is an article:

Oleshky. A Holodomor in the 21st century, in the heart of Europe, before the eyes of the entire world.

[ArianaGic/Аріянॳць @GicAriana]

Never forget: Russian invaders rape Ukrainian toddlers. They gang rape Ukrainian children. They make the parents of the babies watch the rape.

Russia is pure evil.

[Hidde Bouwmeester @H_Bouwmeester]

- Duizenden mensen zitten vast in Oleshky.
- Geen voedsel, water of medicijnen.
- Humanitaire hulp wordt tegengehouden door de Russische bezetter.

Je zou meer media-aandacht verwachten voor een Holodomor 2.0, niet?

[Olga Patlyuk 🇺🇦 @OlgaPatl]

Please don’t stop talking about OLESHKY 🚨

People need to be evacuated. There is HUNGER there.

[Лeksa 🇺🇦 @lexa_lrnt]

Beyond any comprehension how russians can starve 6000 people in Oleshky in the year 2026 with little to no international attention.

What will it take for international organisations to do their job?
For leaders to pressure russia?
For people to demand their leaders to act?

Rape of girls as young as 4 and women as old as 82. Routine genital electrocution of male Ukrainian prisoners.

This is just a fragment of the absolutely nightmarish stuff from the just-released UN report on sexual violence in Russia's invasion of Ukraine:

• Violations detailed in the report include rape, gang rape, genital mutilation, electric shocks, and genital beating
• Russian forces are responsible for the vast majority of sexual violence in Ukraine
• The majority of victims are Ukrainian men. In a common form of torture against Ukrainian POWs detailed in the report, Russian forces electrocuted men's genitals using tasers or a Soviet-era military field telephone known as a 'tapik.'
• Women and children, primarily in Ukrainian territory occupied by Russian forces, also fell victim to rapes and sexual assault. The youngest documented rape survivor was a four-year-old girl, and the oldest was an 82-year-old woman, with both cases perpetrated by Russian forces.

People keep saying Trump term II is the most corrupt administration ever, so I built a model to find out if it was true.

I took the UN's definition of corruption, turned it into eight criteria and 100 points, and scored the leaders history remembers for looting their countries: Marcos, Suharto, Mobutu, Abacha, Obiang, Putin.

Then I put every president since Eisenhower on the same scale, both parties, with every exoneration counted right alongside the convictions.

Nixon scored 41 and no other American President scored over a 25.

Trump's second term scored a 91, which ties him with Suharto and Mobutu and puts him above Marcos and Abacha.

So he is not only the most corrupt president in American history. At this pace he finishes his term level with the most corrupt rulers of the last hundred years.

PSA: don't come in my comments arguing about the results if you haven't read the full article, because ignorance is a choice.

Full article is up now on my Substack (link in bio) and it's free.

So, an oligarch who controls major Russian gambling and automotive assets paid a six figure sum for a post-wedding party in the Bahamas as a gift to the son and daughter-in-law of the President of the United States. Do I have that right? If so, do the President and his family not see how bad this looks? Republicans (I'm one) would be up in arms if a gift like this were accepted by the immediate family of a Democrat serving as President of the United States. Even if we were to accept for the sake of argument the unlikely proposition that Umar Krelev is not buying influence, the appearance of impropriety is glaring. Is there no one in or near the President's family who will say, "no, this kind of thing is not appropriate--we'll pay for our own post-wedding party"?

[Andrew Weinstein @Weinsteinlaw]

There’s obviously a lot going on right now, but a Russian oligarch bankrolling the wedding of the president’s son is the kind of story that should dominate headlines in any functioning political culture.

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Give us a slow mode for Codex.

Something like /slow where it runs at half the speed but uses roughly half the usage. It would put less strain on OpenAI’s servers and maybe even make the 20x plan possible, right?

It’d be perfect for /goals too, just send a task before going to sleep and let it work overnight.

I’d happily trade speed for more usage @thsottiaux
