I have yet to see someone use TikTok therapy-speak constructively. It’s never, “I realized I friendship-bomb people and I’m working on it in therapy.” No. It’s always used in a weaponized way or with fingers pointed outward. And that’s why people resent hearing about it so much.
On the night of 27 December 2025, police raided the Labyrinth nightclub in central Baku. According to witness accounts, 106 people were detained, the majority of whom were reportedly subjected to psychological or physical abuse.

Message from @bahruz_samad:
"They keep me in a solitary cell. They only allow me to go out to a very small, 1-meter balcony for 2 hours a day. They also took away the TV and radio in my cell, there is nothing. My detention conditions are very bad. They don't even give me the few medicines that the doctors prescribed for me.
And to top it all off, they are still preventing me from giving my grandmother a power of attorney, and from taking out the money left in the bank from my late mother little by little. They are making the excuse that your ID card has been lost. You have to apply, the Asan Xidmət employees will come, you pay the fine, fees, etc., they will give you a new card, then you have to pay the fee for the power of attorney again and apply.
Why should I spend this money? I don't have any money for these fees. You have my card. Give me my card. Keep your hands and eyes off the 3-5 manats left by my mother. Let my old grandmother use that money. Let my old grandmother use that money to bring me food. Dear activist, journalist friends, and those who know me, please share and support me."
Armenia hosted the Hungarian national team. If you don't understand the tifo, then you need re-do your A course on the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

#OnThisDay 25 years ago, Israeli forces shot and killed 12-year-old Palestinian boy Muhammad al-Durrah in Gaza as his father tried to shield him from bullets.
The moment shook the world and turned al-Durrah into a symbol of the second Palestinian Intifada ⤵️
2 days ago, when I trying to buy a ticket for a football match, I was attacked by about 30-35 people, getting physically and verbally abused, because apparently I was "a pro-Armenian traitor to the nation". I narrowly escaped the scene
I'm writing this in case I die soon or smth
