Jumped ship, find me on Bluesky.

It seems the exodus of Twitter is finally happening for real. I'll be switching over to Bluesky. You can find me there. https://t.co/YM0WoK4JzN

Moldova rejected the pro-Russia candidate. Will the US do the same?

[Foreign policy @ForeignpolicyWB]

The people of Moldova rejoice that Putin's candidate lost the presidential election in Moldova.

@BBCWorld How many other countries are striking Gaza at the moment?

This week's internet outage has resulted in anti-muslim riots over a murderer who wasn't muslim.
And anti-trans sentiment over a boxer who isn't trans.
Does nobody do the slightest bit of research anymore?

[Jamie Bätch @JaaamJar]

@RiazKhanLC Is he speaking English?

[Jamie Bätch @JaaamJar]

@EuropeElects Ethnic minorities would vote for a party that openly hates them, rather than vote Lib Dem.

@TightFive_Rugby I know it's boring to say at this point but it is so clearly Dupont. Nobody else comes close. He is the complete player and the biggest difference maker a team could have.

[Jamie Bätch @JaaamJar]

@pauleddison Incredible performance. This Toulouse side would beat most international sides.

[Jamie Bätch @JaaamJar]

@TightFive_Rugby Well Toulouse have been epic at least.

[Jamie Bätch @JaaamJar]

@TightFive_Rugby Wow! Jalibert and Tameifuna back for Bordeaux too! This should be epic!

[Jamie Bätch @JaaamJar]

@OpIndia_com Except that the majority of the protesters were not muslim and there were no reports of violence. Pretty bad job as far as headlines go, but at least you got the city right. Keep on trying!

@annamiwendel @MailOnline Hi Anna. I was at the demonstration yesterday with some friends, two of whom are Jewish. There were no antisemitic slogans chanted. It was largely people calling for a ceasefire and for Israel to not be in Eurovision. They actually wanted for people to NOT be exterminated.

[Jamie Bätch @JaaamJar]

@Jeanette_k3 @HenMazzig Yes, don't worry too much. This is just someone making shit up to suit their agenda. It is of course the demonstration on Stortorget, not where Eden Golan is staying. He's just lying because he knows most people won't know any better.

[Jamie Bätch @JaaamJar]

So many Israeli officials have explicitly said, on the record , that they want to 'Erase Gaza' or 'Wipe out' Palestinians. They are not shy about this at all. And still, there are people saying "it's not genocide" #FreePalestine

[Jamie Bätch @JaaamJar]

@frenchrugbypod Over an hour of podcast and no mention of the big Toulouse v Racing game or that Clermont thrashed top of the table Stade Francais? Bizarre omissions.

[Jamie Bätch @JaaamJar]

@TightFive_Rugby Reds v Blues game was a bit better.

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

Ch4 reveals that Israeli documents sent to the UK and other western governments offered 'no evidence' of UNRWA staff involvement in October 7 events. Nonetheless, these governments immediately cut funding, knowing that UNRWA is the last lifeline stopping mass starvation in Gaza.

[Jamie Bätch @JaaamJar]

@alex20xcx @TheDiplomad @Hind_Gaza I don't see that in the text there.

[Jamie Bätch @JaaamJar]

@TheDiplomad @Hind_Gaza Phones and the internet are available outside of the home these days. Have been for some time actually.

[Jamie Bätch @JaaamJar]

@A_A_Story @TrailTimeJessie Hmmm. Interesting theory. That idea fits with Vietnam, but not with Cuba or North Korea though. I think there are simpler flags for countries that are definitely not communist though (Switzerland, Japan, Monaco for example).
