Happy birthday technoblade. Your passion is still inspiring kids.

🇨🇦 Canadian PM Mark Carney: Russia's losing 35,000 troops a month. 22 to 23 thousand, depending on the month, of those troops are killed. They're losing troops faster than they can replace them. They are not gaining territory.

At some point the billionaires want more money not so they can have it but instead so we can't have it. People are less likely to strike or otherwise fight against their oppression when in a precarious financial situation.

If anyone wants to know what the ultimate deal that Trump will make with Iran all one has to do is go back and review the ultimate deal that he made with the Taliban: complete, utter, unconditional, and abject surrender. The Iranians know this because unlike Trump the Iranians can and do read.

I like this site and I think people who have a really hard time here are kind of babies. Sometimes I get yelled at on here and some of those times people don’t have a point, but who cares? If anything, I should evangelize for this site more as the last place on the internet I still learn stuff.

The last time the US did this to a nation they reacted like many when cornered with nothing but bad options, by lashing out... The attack on Pearl harbor was their response. Let's hope the Cubans dont do something desperate like launch drones at CONUS.

Bruno Mars concert is cold but the energy is high.

You don’t fight fascists by hanging out with them. You fight them by building strong community with others fighting fascism. Bluesky’s not a bubble because it’s not filthy with gutter white supremacy endorsed by the Boer who owns it. Nor is it perfect either.

An interesting thing about NASA is that they’ve never had to worry whether scrubbing a launch for safety reasons would impact their IPO

I don't think folks younger than 30 know what the internet once legitimately promised to be (and I would argue briefly was): a boundary-less space of pretty much uncommodified information and communication. A mix between community bulletin boards and university library stacks.

Listen to this carefully. He admits what the Ru always knew—no one threatens Ru’s existence because Ru is a nuclear power. “Security concerns” was always a lie Ru managed to sell to a bunch of Westerners. All that russia needs to do to avoid war and destruction is to stay in its frigging borders!

Russia is a terrorist state

🇬🇧🇨🇦🇪🇺 Zelensky: We thank the UK, Canada and EU for important sanctions decisions against Russian entities and individuals involved in the abduction of Ukrainian children.

The second point is even more important. It’s good she’s making it.

Hey fam, I'm trying to help out a friend who's interested in getting into electrician's work out in the PNW and I don't know the 1st thing about what might be good. If you know something (or someone) that might be a good guide or recommend in Snohomish County for such, leave a msg! Appreciate it! 💛

The U.S. Army is floating surveillance balloons from Sweden to Latvia this month — drifting at 65,000 feet for up to 30 hours to test sensors over NATO's most watched border region. defence-blog.com/u-s-army-exp...

Too many priorities, too little air defence...

The School of the Americas is back, baby! To say the last one had a mixed record is an understatement, well, unless you consider "dozens of right-wing death squads across LATAM" to be a positive thing

Over 30 people were killed by Russian strikes in a little more than a day. No reaction, no coverage, not even condemnation. Nothing. If people were blown to bits anywhere else in Europe, there would be gigantic coverage, outrage, and help. But not in Ukraine.

Just to clarify the only place where hotel bookings are running below projections is in the US. In Canada and Mexico who are also jointly hosting we have had record bookings.

At a time when we are seeing international criminal justice systems under attack and ICC judges sanctioned, picking Louise Arbour - the former Supreme Court justice and ICTY prosecutor as Governor General - I hope - sends a message. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

The best view of the NAFO convoy! 🔥

Today, we announced $270 million of new military support to Ukraine. Ukraine’s fight is our fight. Their cause — freedom, democracy, sovereignty — is our cause. Good to see President Zelenskyy today in Yerevan. 🇨🇦🇺🇦

Work in security. You learn to hate everyone.

Absolutely bonkers footage of Ukrainian soldiers shooting down Russian drones in prop planes with shotguns. Not ai, came from an official Ukrainian account and verified by the WSJ.

Happy 15th anniversary to this tweet.

Hello again, and thanks for reading. If, by some miracle, this is appearing in your timeline for the first time, give me a try, give me feedback. This is THE daily Ukraine thread for Thursday, the last day of April, the 50th whole month of war inflicted by Russia.

Day 1526 of Russia's choice to invade and murder peaceful neighbours. They're still at it. But it's now 4,452 days since the start of Putin's plan to invade and illegally annex Crimea and all south-eastern regions of Ukraine. I've documented everything - here's the latest🧵

Shipping insurers:

If it had been 300 real-deal beat journos in that room we woulda had the whole skinny in ten minutes flat I think the biggest takeaway from this is that "influencers" and beltway pundits dont do journalism

Pleased to speak with @nickturse.bsky.social. “In his second term, [Trump] now has some officials in his administration eager to do a ‘Sicario’ — making Mexico a battlefield in the new GWOT against the narcos.”

Who made this? 😤😤😤

The last 2 Pope's have moved the churce in a more progressive direction, and THAT is why their numbers are rising. Jesus: "As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples..." Elise is only cosplaying as a Christian, Jesus doesn't know her.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

Interesting from @panasonic.aero: Noticed the ESA antenna array on the right has two fin antenna but not on the left. Turns out those are terrestrial 5G antenna for use while aircraft is on ground but they’re not needed anymore because satellite data is now cheaper than 5G global roaming by the GB.

Paragon’s Graphite isn’t magical, it’s just malware. It still needs a zero day exploit to compromise a phone with updated software. The best thing you can do to protect yourself against Graphite is keep your phone up to date and enable Lockdown Mode on iPhone or Advanced Protection Mode on Android.
