“Liberated,” they said.

Imagine an entire European town wiped off the map.

This is Bakhmut.

Once home to 70,000. More than two years under the “russkiy mir.”

Today — nothing but ruins.

russia doesn’t liberate cities. It erases them. Don’t pretend you don’t understand this.

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

The moment of one of today’s Russian strikes on Kyiv.

I can see that fewer and fewer people are reading news from Ukraine. I understand that on a Sunday morning, people don’t want to read about war. They want to sleep a little longer, drink good coffee, and sit in the sun. I understand that. The algorithms on X limit content about war, destruction, and suffering. You have to make an effort to even see this information.

All of this is understandable on a human level. But unfortunately, if you remove Putin and the war from your information feed, they do not disappear from reality.

Putin is a sadist and a maniac. He is a threat to all of humanity.

There needs to be active resistance. News from Ukraine needs to be shared. People need to keep their focus.

Despite a sleepless night, I’m still here. And I’m grateful to everyone who continues to stand with us.

One day, we’ll drink morning coffee together in a beautiful, peaceful Kyiv.

Qué barbaridad de punto.

Llega el momento donde Sinner pasa de 0 a 100 en cuanto a velocidad de bola y Fils no puede hacer nada.

Maravilloso ángulo de cámara.

BREAKING: Episode 45 of Kilauea's ongoing eruption has begun 💃💃

Italy is that country where, when you dig to replace the gas pipes, you find a mosaic from the IV century.

Happened in Montorio, Verona.

It is crazy how few people know this:

Russia now occupies less Ukrainian land than it did one month into the full-scale invasion four years ago

Incredible view of Piton de la Fournaise on La Reunion erupting.

Piton de la Fournaise has been erupting since Feb 13th, for the second time this year. In mid-March lava finally reached the Indian ocean for the first time since 2007.

An old joke, newly relevant:

A Finn and a Russian are fishing on opposite sides of a river along the border between their countries. The Finn pulls fish after fish out of the water, to the Russian's growing frustration. Finally, the Russian can't bear it any more and bursts out: "How come you're getting all the fish?" The Finn replies calmly: "It's because the fish on your side are too afraid to open their mouths."

🏝️ La spiaggia nuova di zecca dell'Isola della Riunione! Le cascate di lava alimentate dall'eruzione del Piton de la Fournaise continuano a espandere il delta lavico: la linea costiera è già avanzata di 85 metri.

L'eruzione del Piton de la Fournaise vista da satellite: la colata principale ha percorso oltre 7 km prima di raggiungere l'oceano. Ora la lava si riversa in mare poco a sud di quanto fatto nel 2002 e ben più a nord del 2007 (colata nera in basso). Foto via @PlatformAdam

@eleonora_aloise I tuoi post partita sono sempre eccellenti, umorismo incluso! 👏

This is the moment that lava from Piton de la Fournaise crossed the RN2 coastal road early this morning 🌋

[Il Mondo dei Terremoti @mondoterremoti]

Le colate emesse nelle ultime settimane dall'unica frattura ancora attiva si sono progressivamente ingrottate attraverso la formazione di una rete di tubi lavici che hanno permesso alla lava di percorrere parecchi chilometri, fino ad arrivare a minacciare la strada statale RN2.
