INCREDIBLY important thread

Okay, so I want to say something because this discussion is happening over on the podcast’s Twitter (discussion may need to be in quotes, tbf), and I want to say something as someone who’s done years of disaster research:

No, you don’t want to see that.

National Geographic named “In the Arms of Family” among its top photos of 2025.

Shot by Anglo-Swedish photographer Anastasia Taylor-Lind, the image shows Olha Grinik holding her nephew Tymofii Tsvetkov, wearing a T-shirt that reads, “My dad wears the uniform of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.”

His father was fighting on the front lines as the family’s hometown near Avdiivka was destroyed by Russian forces, forcing them to flee to central Ukraine.

The photo is part of 5K From the Frontline, documenting seven years of the Grinik family’s life under war.

Eva, 13, studies mostly online—her school's bomb shelter is too small. She's lost touch with friends who fled abroad. Child stress levels jumped from 27% to 37% since fall 2024. Eva finds relief at Voices of Children NGO: "After meetings, I feel much better"

One road is all that keeps Ukrainian troops connected to Myrnohrad—and it only opens when fog blinds Russian drones.

The 38th Marine Infantry Brigade and 79th Air Assault Brigade can slip vehicles through, but only on the foggiest days.

Russian FPV operators from the elite Rubicon group watch the route constantly. Sabotage teams lurk along it.

If Rodynske village falls, that road closes for good. Clear skies might do the job first.

Polish general contradicts PM's assessment: Russian drones that entered Poland in September carried explosives, including decoy UAVs. 23 drones crossed NATO airspace from a swarm of several hundred, some penetrating 300km inland in the first mass incursion

@VancouverPD I live less than one block from where this occurred (and saw the aftermath).

The amount of times I’ve made DIRECT eye contact with a driver, they slow down, then FLOOR IT nearly flattening me is just insane.

We need a light.
