What Russians did in #Bucha is particularly painful to my heart.I was there in the first days after it was liberated,I’ll never forget it Friends,please share this as widely as possible in the USA,Canada,the United Kingdom The world needs to see the truth about the heroism of Ukrainians Thank you!

@moudhy.bsky.social - looking forward to this.

Who’s joining us for a ride?

This is so true. However even though things change as children grow and become adult, it’s really just a different phase to a fundamentally wonderful relationship.

It’s been a tough week and I deserve some self love. So I just ordered Between Two Rivers. 🎉 @moudhy.bsky.social thanks for writing this.

OTD 12yrs ago, the end of the rules-based world order started. On Feb 19, 2014, russia launched its war against Ukraine with the invasion of Crimea. The free world witnessed this brutal violation of international law but did nothing to stop that, preferring to pretend it was "separatism."

This is such and interesting thing with China. But there’s a way out. China developed & aced its tech industries from scratch. Israel, a vastly smaller country did the same. Nothing stops us from doing so too in the UK. It’s possible. We need the will, and the way will follow.

The story of Anton Koh provides a rare window into the tactics of Kim Jong Un’s digital warriors, who have faked their way into remote IT jobs to generate cash for the North Korean regime www.wsj.com/world/asia/a...

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

This is grim. I grew up in the Home Counties in the 1970s and had terrify instruction from my parents not to reveal that I am Jewish. That’s what it was to grow up in the shadow on the Shoah. Previous generations in the early c20 kept changing their surnames to appear less Jewish. 🧵1

This is so well expressed. I’ve had countless conversations with software engineers where we worry about gutting the industry and failing to train, all because we take a short term cost benefit.

Donald Trump's name does *not* appear in the Epstein Files 38,000 times. Donald Trump’s name is in the Epstein Files MORE THAN A MILLION times

Sadly, this is post of the day.

Hospital waiting room. This feels oddly ethnically specific.

Whatever people want to say about Gordon Brown, we owe him a lot.

This is blistering, and I hope MPs listen carefully and act swiftly.

Jack off all trades.

Absolutely

Only seven petrol-powered cars sold in Norway in January

This is great. I love how you can see the fresh water runoff from great rivers (Amazon, Congo, Ganges, Mississippi), plus fjord/meltwater outflow from Norway and Greenland

Ginette is three days younger than my Dad, who was fortunate enough to have been born in the UK and therefore spared the horrors. I doubt cousins whose grandparents chose to remain in Russia or Poland survived.

Current policy of pandering to xenophobes just not sustainable. But then we knew that.

This cannot be overstated.

This is quite lovely.

so crazy to me that a woman asked trump if he has any words for epstein's victims and he said "you as a young woman should smile more." it will go nowhere bc republicans refuse to hold trump accountable, but it's still pretty crazy.

Here's a petition for you to sign regarding the scourge of drink spiking in the UK. @fleuranderson.bsky.social my MP petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

It’s hard to argue with Chanda here.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

Donald Trump is mentioned hundreds of times in the latest batch of Epstein files. Among the new documents is a list compiled by the FBI last year of allegations made against Trump by callers to its national Threat Operation Center tip line.

Let's all take a moment to stop and drink a toast to the wonderfulness and luminosity of Catherine O'Hara. Here's to her.

Probably true. If so he’s sacrificing his reputation for the benefit of Europe, and in that case we owe him. He got a rebuke from France already, and it’s good for Europe to be both encouraged and cajoled to stand on its own two feet. Whatever Rutte’s motivation, his unpleasant pronouncement helps.

The Holocaust stands as the darkest chapter in human history. Today we honour the memory of the six million Jews, Roma and Sinti, and countless others who were senselessly murdered. (1/4)

32y ago I visited a university friend who was a software developer at EMBL. We then bumped into another friend (now a professor) doing her PhD over lunch. I fell in love with the place and would have given anything to work there if I had a different background. Also, Heidelberg is gorgeous.

Around 30 minutes into this video you have the reason to use Signal rather than text, iMessage or WhatsApp for any significant communication.

Bad times bring great music. It’s a historical fact. This one’s a modern day banger. open.spotify.com/track/19vif5...

Some good news here. We need the two main parties to thrive and compete for our votes with strong policies designed to project Britain and its population forward. The Conservatives have vanished from this field of play for way too long. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Read the thread. Makes the Alberta/Donbas connection and then points out that renewed US presence in Greenland under a new deal (or existing agreements with Denmark would block European access to assist Canada.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Previous market-swinging moves have had demonstrable front running. It’s easy to imagine it’s the same this time around.

Nobody wants another Trump post bit tough luck. Here goes. Watching him at Davos. Talking nonsense obviously. But he sounds rough.

I’m writing this before Helene finishes her thread. Mark Rutte just said in Davis that over 75% of NATO budget is extra EU and that NATO can’t work without the USA. Disagree (bold of me). It’s undesirable to have NATO without USA, but can and if necessary must be done.
