1. Today in Parliament I raised the growing concern over “Masha and the Bear” a Russian cartoon streamed to British children on Netflix and ITVX, and flagged by Ukraine’s Centre for Countering Disinformation as a Russian soft power tool.
I called on the Leader of the House to secure a statement from the Secretary of State for DCMS on what the Government intends to do.
Більше ніхто й ніколи не буде диктувати українцям, яких героїв шанувати, які свята відзначати чи яку історію вивчати. За це право свободи власного вибору та національної незалежності наші предки боролися сотні років, і саме за це сьогодні проливають кров наші воїни. Пам’ять про них повинна жити вічно.
Ми, наші діти та всі майбутні покоління повинні чітко знати й шанувати тих, хто присвятив своє життя боротьбі за Україну. Це особливо важливо сьогодні, коли ми ведемо війну за свободу України.
Президент Володимир Зеленський вніс до Верховної Ради законопроєкт «Про Український національний пантеон». Це рішучий і дуже потрібний крок для відновлення історичної справедливості, консолідації нашого суспільства та закладення фундаменту пам’яті для наступних поколінь. Цей документ є свідченням нашої державної зрілості.
Переконаний, що український парламент розуміє важливість такої ініціативи та якнайшвидше розгляне та ухвалить цей законопроєкт.
Слава Україні!

There’s no doubt that Putin fears the return of his army home. That is why he is so afraid of the war ending without victory. And there will be no victory. He is physically afraid of his own army. That is why, if there is no ceasefire backed by specific security guarantees, he will return to war. And this time, others may be the ones under attack.
Today, Ukraine is de facto the second army of NATO – one that is not inferior to the second army in the world. And that is why NATO needs us – specifically us – de jure. This is already a fact recognized by all leaders. Putin will remain in the Kremlin until his death, and he has one goal: the restoration of the Soviet Union. Without Ukraine, this is impossible, and that is why things are so difficult for us.

China's coast guard harasses Filipinos. Philippines documents it. China gets upset when the footage reaches the rest of the world and accuses Manila of "playing the victim."
If you don't want the reputation of a bully, stop behaving like one.

OTD 1944, HNoMS Svenner, one of 10 Royal Norwegian Navy ships tanking part in Operation Neptune, was sunk off Sword beach, with 33 of her crew being killed.
Fun fact. The treaty also recognized *all 4 states* as legal successors to USSR. Thus, Kremlin concedes in law that Ukraine won WW2 just as much as we claim we did.
Checkmate, tankies.
still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them
I have to be honest, this doesn’t bring confidence to Windows users that your solution to making key Windows interactions faster by pre-boosting the CPU clock on key interactions the user expects to be snappy.
Can we fix the code for fucks sake? God damn MSFT what is going on?

This town, has less inhabitants than a regular town in Norway. And still, the amount of fallen heroes are staggering.
We need to stop this madness, and the only way it can be done, is to ensure victory!

I love all these coding agents because I can literally just build things
But then when I hit an issue that AI goes around in circles to solve, I’m thankful I did my time as an engineer (software to DevOps/infra)
I’d argue that all that time spent is so much *more* valuable now
