@neiltyson I think Odyssey was always a srory about becoming the kind of person who deserves to arrive home. The story is translated into many languages and the story is full of symbols in our own life - the obstacles and difficulties we face. It's not a history book.
@mcgregorufc22 Wanting Holloway as your first fight when coming back after half a decade and a broken leg is a glimpse into the mind of a mad genius that is Connor.
“So now tell me, what the f*ck do you need this f*cking war for?”
— a Russian soldier, the only survivor from his unit, is starting to ask the right questions.
He wants this video to be seen by as many people as possible.
Most people completely underestimate the insane, inhumane scale of the war in Ukraine.
According to the Uppsala Conflict Data Program, the siege of Mariupol alone saw between 27,000 and 88,000 deaths in only three (3!) months.
Read that again and let it sink in
This coffee shop in Kyiv opened yesterday, then got hit by a russian air strike just hours later.
Today, they're still open and people in Kyiv are lining up to buy a coffee to support them, stepping over debris and broken glass on the way in.
FYI, the coffee is excellent 🇺🇦
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.
