This is cool — Bellingcat experimented with custom machine learning models and LLMs to help them better identify and document cases of civilian harm in Ukraine from a firehose of Telegram data AI certainly has issues, but these are the kind of uses that the it‘s-only-evil crowd has to grapple with

There are new rumors and videos, showing the result of a pogrom of Fulanis and Tuaregs in the capital of Bamako, Mali. It has occured in recent years a few times, but now it's a monthly occurance. If the new video is verified, they were burnt and then...eaten on the streets.

They really believe that Putin doesn't know.

Lunin stated that he intends to tell Putin about mass torture and extortion of money in the Russian army.

How can anyone trust a regime built on constant fabrications? Russia lied about invading in 2014, lied about the MH17, and lied right up until the 2022 full-scale invasion. Even their chaotic defeat in Kyiv was rebranded as a gesture of goodwill. They simply cannot be trusted

New post just released. Turns out that the pressure being applied by both Ukraine and Russia on Belarus, and its thuggish dictator Lukashenka, actually ratcheted up this weak. Watch this--Belarus is in a bind and Lukashenka is the proverbial rat stuck in a trap. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

A day in the life of a Ukrainian in Poland. Go to work, get called a "fucking Ukrainian whore" and told to "fuck off back to Ukraine". Anti-Ukrainian sentiment stirred by Polish radical nationalist politicians incites ethnic hatred & real world assaults.

Admiral Rob Bauer: If Russia wanted to attack NATO, where do you think that decision would be taken? In Beijing. Chinese are basically allowing Russia to stay in the war. They provide Russia with everything they need to make weapons. Chinese can still say, "We don't give weapons."

During her recent trip to Kyiv, the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Japan, Ayano Kunimitsu, kept a detailed video diary, documenting every step of her journey to display the aftermath of russian terror. Thank you, Ms. Kunimitsu. And thank you to Japan for being Ukraine’s consistent ally. 🇺🇦🤝🇯🇵

I've never seen it mentioned, but a lot of the preoccupation with fascism comes out of the greatest generation dying off. The old timers I knew as a kid would have totally lost their shit seeing someone do a Hitler salute at the inauguration, and subsequent acts.

Russian barbarians have beheaded yet another Ukrainian soldier & posted yet another photo of a Russian invader holding the severed head. I've lost count of how many Ukrainians have been decapitated. This systemic, state-ordered savagery faces no international response. What the hell are our values?

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy reports that Belarus is no longer allowing that its signal towers are used as repeaters for Russian drones in Ukraine's north. According to him it has come effect on June 22, only three days after Ukraine's 7-day ultimatum.

Russian oil industry report: "We're up to our ears in oil, the wells are shut down, there's nowhere to put the oil, and there's no gasoline." Because drone sanctions cut refinery capacity, Russia can't increase production despite growing shortages. And it will get worse, fast.

Amid a wave of positive headlines about Russian refineries in flames and logistics crippled, the battle for the legendary "fortress belt" of Ukraine's Donbas region has begun in earnest, with Russian forces breaking into the city of Kostiantynivka in Donetsk Oblast and overrunning the urban area.

Yeah - Putin's trapped in the Dictator's Dilemma echo chamber, being told what he wants to hear by sycophants and making decisions based on information that bears no relation to reality. Resulting in a doom spiral where things get worse and worse. bsky.app/profile/ianf...
