The IOC president's shameful statement that russian athletes should not be held responsible for their government's actions stems from a worldview that considers collaborating openly with genocidal regimes that use sports as a weapon of hybrid warfare to be business as usual.

The Edinburgh International Book Festival, true to form, schedules a talk about "Russians at War" on Ukrainian independence day... Is there nobody involved in the planning of these events who knows something? Also: is the book - irrespectively of the date of the presentation - really appropriate?

There is a European-owned place called Aisle that is doing world class security bug finding. Beating Mythos even. But no one in Europe likes talking up our own talent. Been trying to get them mentioned in Dutch news, but all we can do apparently is promote US tech. aisle.com/blog/aisle-d...

⚠️ Confirmed: Network data show a second collapse in internet connectivity in Sevastopol amid reports of unscheduled power shutdowns in occupied #Crimea as the regional Russian leadership declares a state of emergency.

Why did Ukrainians recognize Russia’s war as an existential threat long before much of the world? Since Moscow’s 2014 invasion, I’ve traveled Ukraine asking this question. 10 yrs in the making, my new book When the Ukrainian Sun Rises is now open for pre-order with Georgetown University Press.

Wow #russia pulled #snowden out of the freezer to say things on Russian state TV 😍 They must be really desperate, or someone questioned the ROI of even keeping him on payroll.

Why there must be always a #Russia Z-Nazi fan behind any Western communist parties and Palestine supporters? Infiltration of these communities - who I suspect act in good will - by Russian agents and propaganda is quite shocking. At the same time I’m really […] [Original post on agora.echelon.pl]

Russia invaded Ukraine for one reason and one reason only and it is that Russia is an evil country that loves murder and rape.

Russia isn’t just behaving like Mordor anymore — now it looks like it too

Hey ClaudeAI, stop doing this.

While the world's attention is diverted, the russians could sense an opportunity to test NATO’s resolve. Mirroring their illegal invasion of Crimea in 2014, they could mount an operation to seize Norway’s Svalbard archipelago. NATO would either have to declare war on russia or cease to exist.

Vår solidaritet er med det ukrainske folk. Vi krever at Russland respekterer internasjonal folkerett og Ukrainas rett til selvstyre – Russland må trekke sine tropper ut av Ukraina! Som bidrag til fred må Norge bidra til gjenoppbyggingen av Ukraina. (1/3)

Culture must not serve as "cover for aggression". The head of the the @coe.int Assembly's Culture Committee @mogensjensens.bsky.social has written to the organisers of the Venice Biennale calling on them to reverse their decision to allow Russia to take part. Read his full letter below 🔽

In a recent discussion with some Western “socialists” the usual incendiary topic of “who owns Eastern Europe” arose. The “socialist” crowd is unfortunately plagued by Soviet and now Russian narratives, which are outright distortion of history on a scale you […] [Original post on agora.echelon.pl]

Interesting read. I think one of the reasons all those russia experts were so wrong about the war is that none of them was #Ukraine expert. Good to see that @anderspucknielsen.dk was one of the very few who made correct predictions then. Cannot recommend his #PeerTube channel enough.

To me, talk of Ukrainian resilience is an excuse Westerners make up for not doing enough to stand up to russia.

"To create a #Bluesky "instance", like #Blacksky is heroically attempting, you have to duplicate every server Bluesky runs. But Bluesky is a business operating at a loss by burning unlimited-for-now VC cash. That has always implied only a business with unlimited VC cash can create an instance."
