I am in a cafe in Warsaw writing a piece on slopaganda. I can see 4 other people's laptop screens. All 4 have ChatGPT open. The world's about to get really, really weird.

En automatisert vaktrobot som gjentar «Vennligst ingen promenering i promenadeområdet, all gåing må ha et BESTEMT MÅL» er dystopisk på SÅ mange optimaliseringsteknoovervåkningskapitalfascistiske plan og da har jeg ikke engang nevnt den parodiske grunnen til at den patruljerer der i utgangspunktet.

Var observatør på min første Pride-parade i går og kan konstatere at hvis du klarer å la deg provosere av den eksepsjonelt inkluderende gla'protestfesten der, er det faktisk et deg-problem.

Day 1586 of the incessant bombardment of Ukraine. The 227th weekend, when instead of enjoying family time, many are able to think only off survival, for themselves and their country. Each day I've made a daily thread covering all the news of Russia's attack, & hopefully retreat.

1/ Is a rebellion brewing in the Russian army? A Russian soldier's video appeal to meet with Vladimir Putin to avert a mutiny over the appalling conditions on the frontline has gone viral, and has clearly struck a nerve at the Kremlin. ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/anto...

This is why cities need trees. Hard surfaces and parked cars can reach extreme temperatures, while shaded grass and tree-covered areas stay dramatically cooler. This is the urban heat island effect in one image: hard surfaces absorb and radiate heat, while vegetation and shade reduce it.

Hi All, free weekend update is out. The big story this week was that Ukraine is broadening its long-range strike capacity to hit Russian military production. It is not getting the coverage of the refinery campaign, but for Ukrainians it might be even more important. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

I've taken the paywall off this piece, where I tried to imagine what the REAL stories behind some of the great photographs in the 1970s catalogues for the furniture shop Habitat were. I hope a few of you might get chance to have a read... www.tom-cox.com/the-true-sto...

My two cents on the #CognitiveWarfare ✅ Zelensky gave moscow a permit to hold its pobedobesie parade on Red Square in May ✅ His open letter, in June, hijacked the agenda of the russian Davos just as putin was trying to project confidence ✅ And now, issuing an ultimatum to Belarus, he got his way

"Human life has never been the measure of power in Moscow. A visible weakness at the center is what is intolerable. Zelensky understood this. His note did not merely propose talks. It punctured the “dear leader” pose and went straight for the autocrat’s deepest fears."

In an interview with The Times, Ukraine's commander-in-chief says it's too soon to claim a turning point in the war. Kyiv's strategy depends on Russia exhausting itself, not on Ukraine breaking through — and he acknowledges current advantages may not last.

De vet hva de gjør

Kvinnenettverket i Arbeiderpartiet skal selvfølgelig stå for inkluderende feminisme. Det er ingen motsetning mellom kvinners rettigheter og skeives rettigheter. Tvert imot er kvinner ofte de neste på lista når minoriteter havner under angrep.

#RussiaIsCollapsing 5,000km from Ukraine is the city of Chita. Just 250 miles from Mongolia and 400 miles or so from China. "This is f**ked" says this driver. "People are ready to fight. For 30 litres of gasoline, you stand in traffic jams for hours. Where the hell is all this going? Collapse!"

“…prosecutors are out of control. ..,they risk incriminating themselves.”

You're awake too, huh? Well let's start Saturday's daily thread, covering Day 1585 of Russia's war of choice. And I start early with dramatic news from deep inside Russia. No sleep yet - if you can spare enough for a coffee, I'll be very grateful 🙏 ko-fi.com/twmcltd

Happy pride to the super bisexuals

Meanwhile in Russia: state TV host Vladimir Solovyov was deeply unsettled by Russia's severe lack of drones. He told anyone who is weak and cowardly to sign up to join the assault troops, and disingenuously volunteered to join the army "as an old sniper." www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mYP...

2/The PRC likely aims to erode Taiwanese sovereignty and strengthen PRC presence in the waters around Taiwan and its offshore islands.

NEW: The CCG’s recent law enforcement and research activity in the waters East of Taiwan may indicate that the PRC considers that area to be PRC “near-shore waters.” Full Report: isw.pub/ChinaTaiwanU... Other Key Takeaways:

You've found the start of THE daily Ukraine thread for Day 1584 of Russia's war on its peaceful neighbour. There seems to be a growing feeling we are at the very start of the end of the war. We have begun "Zelenskyy's 40 days", and more results are visible this morning:

Ett mycket bra datum att publicera artikeln. Ärkespån.

Slik markerer Aftenposten at det er fire år siden et ekstremistisk dødelig terrorangrep rettet mot skeive i Norge. Fuck så jævlig off

@lenejohansen.com har skrevet grundig om forskningsskadalen ved NBTK, aka "riksen" "Transpersonar er ein liten minoritet i Norge, og de har vore rettsløyse i møte med NBKT alt for lenge allereie." www.liberaleren.no/2026/06/25/f...

The AI arms race between China and the US has researchers on both sides worried about a "Chernobyl moment." www.wired.com/story/ai-arm...

"a startling lack of transparency about some elements of the program and warning that the systems could undermine public trust. Police data disclosed to WIRED—comprising more than 36,000 model performance scores—appear in some cases to show “genuinely poor predictive performance,”"

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

Thursday 25 June is Day 1583 of Russia's attempt to remove Ukraine from the map, and eradicate its culture and history. Each day I round up all the significant news, with analysis and local knowledge to put together a new thread - all the news you need in one place. Let's go:

"What the federal government has described as “antifa extremists” are activists you’d find anywhere in the US: trans people, tattoo artists, vegans and anti-ICE community members who engage in mutual aid."

Have a good day!😉

Hello, it's Day 1582 of Ukraine's heroic defence against the (not so) mighty Russian army. You've found the start of another daily thread covering all things to do with the war (except the gory bits)

Here's a fun old video to watch just because.

"Det er historier om frykt, om å bli mistenkeliggjort, om å føle seg feil og uønsket i møte med det systemet som skal hjelpe." Les kronikken fra @jamesarmando.bsky.social , Frende og @aninehartmann.bsky.social i PKI i Dagens Medisin. www.dagensmedisin.no/kjonnsinkong...

As I start the daily thread thread for Day 1581 there are more Russian missiles flying in Ukraine. Every single day of this 52 month war, I've been here documenting all the important news, in one handy place. Let's go again.

💥ENJOY dagens hjemmelekse, så du er klar til skattekommisjonens råd. Og du vet fra før at det ikke finnes forskning som viser at TRICKLE DOWN funker (men politikere vil ikke høre): 1) Først til 2020, da SSB-tall viste at de da 3700 rikeste betaler mellom ni og 17 prosent av inntekten sin i skatt.

Where are they hiding the 47 year old tradwives??

Not many countries would cope. But even more. When you think about what these types of attacks do. If you have to be off the internet. How would you even begin to use AI-applications? www.bbc.com/news/article...
