So yes, I'm out of Russia. They won't snatch me to the war, but I'm getting fired from my job, so now's your chance to help me survive and get some cool art! You can message me here or on Telegram. And thank you if you retweet this!
Kalibr subsonic cruise missiles are 60% aluminum; 40% of the structural weight of drones is alum; 20% of Ballistic missiles such as Iskanders is aluminum. These missiles can not be constructed without aluminum and aluminum coming from the Shannon Estuary.
It's crazy how Steven Universe got slandered as the softboi tenderqueer therapyspeak show like Pearl isn't one of the single messiest characters ever put to television. They would shoot you if you tried to put a character as complex as her in a cartoon these days.
i want to not overclaim but afaic this is the single worst security vulnerability in social media history, for any platform, period
i don't think people are giving this the weight it deserves. it's not generically bad. the scope was ~any non-2FA accounts. as in, billions hackable
When this war is over, and Ukraine is victorious and whole again, and every innocent victim, every fallen defender, every destroyed city and town is documented, let no one say they did not know. These Russian crimes against humanity are happening in full view in real time.
everyone needs to get more comfortable reading scientific literature, particularly about things that are widespread and uncomfortable, bc studies like this are relevant to literally everyone on earth and i'm tired of most of people being unaware or not caring. read ts
Russian drones already bombed two(!) passengers busses in Kherson , just since this morning .
The fact it’s not breaking news anymore could’ve broken my heart , if I wasn’t so numbed myself just to get through all this
the thing about "are you going to be on twitter at 40?" or "how are you 30 and writing fanfiction?" is that at some point you have to accept that you're not going to just becoming a radically different person
Let’s just say George RR Martin isn’t the only one who’s written 1,200 pages of Winds of Winter. We’ll see who finishes first Georgie boy @GRRMspeaking
@marikyuunVT And this is not even the worst of them. Have you seen Kyoko? The window, the skirt, WHERE ARE THOSE PUFFY SLEEVES COMING FROM?!?! SHE'S NOT WEARING A SHIRT?!?!?! having those attached to the red coat is so unnecessary... they massacred her. Baddie no more
And the reason why you guys even have a place to hang out and read your fics is because proper grown ups with real jobs and grown up money created a site for you and hired a whole bunch of lawyers to allow you to write your little fics without getting into legal trouble
Coursera has launched a free international course entitled ‘Famine as Genocide: The Holodomor in Ukraine’. And this is, without exaggeration, a landmark event.
Not many people abroad know that in 1932–1933, an artificially organized famine raged in Ukraine. It was a deliberate policy of the Soviet authorities. Grain, livestock, foodstuffs, and every scrap of food they could find were forcibly seized from people’s homes. People were eating tree bark. Soon, adults and children, swollen from starvation, began to die a slow and terrible death. Historians still debate how many millions of people perished at that time.
Stalin used the famine as a weapon to crack down on Ukrainians, whom he saw as a threat. He wanted to turn Ukraine into a model Soviet republic. Therefore, alongside the artificial famine to subdue the Ukrainian countryside, he launched large-scale repressions against Ukrainian communists and officials whom he considered insufficiently loyal. It was then that the killings and torture of Ukrainian artists, scientists, musicians, and writers began. Raphael Lemkin, who coined the term ‘genocide’, later described the events in Ukraine as a ‘classic example of Soviet genocide’.
Interestingly, whilst 27-year-old journalist Gareth Jones was attempting to draw the world’s attention to the horror unfolding in Ukraine, New York Times correspondent Walter Duranty—who had won a Pulitzer Prize for his complimentary reports on the Soviet Union and was living a lavish life in Moscow— began writing in leading media outlets that there was no famine and subjected his young colleague to scathing criticism.
History is repeating itself. Putin, who claims that there is no Ukrainian nation, just as there is no Ukrainian language or culture, continues the very same genocidal policy.
So, to better understand the reasons behind Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, I highly recommend taking this course: https://t.co/CQorPnVMAI
12 year old Anatoly Prokhorenko stopped a Russian drone with his own hands. This is NOT supposed to be the experience of any child, but this is the reality of life of children in Ukraine. Damn Russia to hell.
the ideas you write about aren't original & have been done before. where you exercise creativity is in your collection of chronic & acute conflicts, what it is that your characters go through so that they feel what your reader has already felt before
Forty years ago, on April 26, 1986, the world was shaken by the largest man-made disaster in human history – the accident at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Today, we honor the memory of the victims of this tragedy and the heroism of those who stood in the path of the invisible death.
Yet, Chornobyl is not merely a story of technical failure; it is a verdict on a Soviet system built on crimes and clinical lies – a regime that modern-day Russia is attempting to revive today.
The scale of the disaster was unprecedented: radiation levels in the destroyed reactor reached 20,000 roentgens, while a lethal dose is just 500 roentgens over five hours. The release of radioactive isotopes was 30 times greater than the power of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. More than 300,000 people were forced to leave their homes forever, and a total of 8.5 million people across Europe were exposed to radiation. The Exclusion Zone remains equal in size to Luxembourg, and the area within a 10 km radius of the station will not be safe for human habitation for 20,000 years.
The Soviet regime was guilty not only of the safety violations that led to the accident. Its true crime was the deliberate cover-up: the world remained unaware of the catastrophe for at least two days, while the authorities kept their own citizens in the dark for weeks. On May 1, 1986, while radiation was already everywhere, thousands in Kyiv were forced to participate in a demonstration.
Today, Moscow continues this tradition of deception, using nuclear facilities as tools of blackmail. Russia has learned no lessons; instead, it has weaponized nuclear danger.
The 40th anniversary is a time to honor our heroes. We pay tribute to the feat of approximately 600,000 liquidators who saved the world at the cost of their own health and lives.
Today, a new generation of heroes has emerged in Ukraine – our energy workers and nuclear professionals. Throughout the winter of 2025–2026, under massive Russian attacks, Ukrainian atomic workers maintained control over reactors in extreme conditions following emergency shutdowns caused by strikes on substations and drone incursions. Their professionalism has once again saved a continent that stood on the brink of disaster.
An act of particular barbarism was the Russian drone strike on the New Safe Confinement (NSC) in February 2025. The attack damaged both the outer and inner shells of the Arch protecting the destroyed Unit 4 and disabled the main crane system.
Ukraine welcomes the leadership of France, the efforts of the G7, the EBRD, and the EU to restore this unique structure. We look forward to concrete commitments during the International Donor Conference to be held in Kyiv on April 26, 2026.
Our call on this day is simple: it is time to end nuclear blackmail. We appeal to all states that value global stability. Your role in increasing pressure on the aggressor is critical. The international community must prove that it has learned the lessons of 1986.
It is necessary to fully isolate the Russian nuclear industry, impose sanctions against Rosatom, and restrict the aggressor’s rights within the IAEA. Ukraine proposes amendments to the Agency's Statute to allow for the restriction of the rights of aggressor states that violate nuclear safety principles.
Russia must immediately return control of the Zaporizhzhia NPP to its rightful operator – Ukraine.
Every additional air defense system and interceptor covering Ukrainian cities and its nuclear plants is a guarantee of stability for Europe.
Do not wait for a new Chornobyl. Act now to protect life.
russia attacked the Dnipro Region over 70 times today, killing 3 people and injuring another 8, including a 10-year-old child💔
A never ending nightmare, brought by psychotic murderers.
Help defend people from atrocitious russian crimes:
