My 17-year-old daughter:
“I’m confused. We’ve always been taught not to share personal information or anything that identifies us online because it isn’t safe. Now they want us to do exactly that to access social media.”
Why was a professional camera team set up hours before the "Russian strike" on a cathedral and monastery that Russia had been defending from Zelenskys Neo Nazi ghouls?
Filming shelling in Ukraine is prohibited.
However, it was precisely on this night that photographers with professional equipment turned up on the roofs next to the Lavra.
Думать что в России кончился бензин это еще больший идиотизм, чем утверждать что «у России ракет осталось на две-три недели»
В России может закончиться все что угодно, но боеприпасы, бензин, хлеб и водка не кончатся никогда!
É a Copa mais bizarra da história. Ou pelo menos da era moderna, com certeza.
Nem na ditadura catari foi feito isso. Nem na Rússia de Putin.
Mas vai ter gente querendo justificar o injustificável, passando pano. Só porque é nos Estados Unidos.
Fifa rendida ao dinheiro.
Arnaud Bertrand : une voix discordante sur la Chine
Arnaud Bertrand s’est imposé comme l’une des voix francophones les plus suivies sur les questions sino-occidentales sur les réseaux sociaux. À rebours des discours dominants, il défend une lecture plus nuancée des rapports entre la Chine, l’Europe et les États-Unis. Dans cet entretien, il revient sur la crise du récit occidental, les limites de l’autonomie stratégique européenne et l’émergence d’un nouvel équilibre mondial. #VoixduMonde #ParisStudio
Ukraińskie media wrzucają zdjęcia ze skutkami rosyjskiego nalotu na #Kijów. Nie przefiltrowali jednak galerii fotografów, bo pokazują chociażby stertę skrzydeł dronów, które były zgromadzone w budynku... studia filmowego.
There you have it. Anthropic's CEO said it: The murder of more than 100 schoolgirls in Minab targeted by Anthropic's CLAUDE "is a use case that doesn't even violate our red lines." Time to rise up against these technofeudal war criminals.
CEO of Anthropic Dario Amodei awkwardly smiles through his answer to a question about why Claude AI directly contributed to the US Military bombing of the elementary school in Minab.
Ukraine's Odessa draft office holds men in prison cage — no water, no toilet, bars on windows
'Everyone is sick and nobody cares,' a witness says in a video from the facility
Hegseth: Nobody makes better or more munitions than the US.
Brennan: But there is a crisis with those stockpiles right now.
Hegseth: That is a manufactured story that the media wants to peddle.
Brennan: You testified under oath that it would take years to rebuild those stockpiles.
Bandits went live and asked Nigerians to send azas for give aways.
They used banking apps to send money to those who sent accounts. No arrests made.
A responsible citizen made a video of the cracks on Coastal road and within days he was arrested.
If you ever come here to tell me only God can solve our insecurity problems Ogun will kpai you.
The British oil company that became BP discovered Iran's oil. When Iranians realized they were being robbed, they nationalized it — so MI6 & CIA toppled their democracy in 1953, installing a dictatorship. Iranians rose up in 1979 & the West has never forgiven them for it.
So now there’s an Iranian toll on Hormuz. What began as American humiliation this morning has become an outright American defeat.
And the worst of it is that the regime played Trump by inserting the demand at the last moment.
The real losers of this are the most vulnerable: the Iranian people (remember them?); Israel; Europe and the West.
Thanks for nothing Donald. You had your chance and you blew it spectacularly. History won’t forgive you.

I have stopped going to South Africa for any international conferences for mainly 3 things.
1. Border police rudeness: Some years ago I was invited for a conference on conflicts in the Horn in South Africa. I showed email invite to the border policeman at the desk. He rudely asked: "but why can't you people hold your peace conferences in your homes. Why always come to South Africa?" - I think he had a point. Why must we?
Second time it was worse - "But why are you Zomallis and Ethiopians always here."
I reminded him I was actually Kenyan, and I was only in the country for 2 days for an international conference
Reply: "Sheh, um, eh. But what is the difference"
2. As soon as locals figure out you are a black person, possibly African from another country, the automatic assumption is that you are an illegal migrant. You see immediate hostile reaction. Honestly, I found SA one of the most miserable places on earth in terms of peoples' attitude to foreigners. The visceral hatred towards fellow Africans is unnerving. Still one of the most beautiful geographies in Africa.
3. The state bureaucracy and departments filled with people who actually know very little about the outside world. Most of the best people who made South Africa an outward-looking African power are gone. All remaining are small-time apparatchiks stealing from the state and fat toads serving as diplomats. I feel sorry for South Africa.
