Rwanda-backed M23 rebels are consolidating their control over Goma, a city of approximately 2 million people. Clashes dominated the streets earlier this week forcing residents to stay inside. Bellingcat has been monitoring the ongoing crisis… www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/01...

On December 8, 2025 a video allegedly from the city of Sange started circulating on X. Lawrence Kanyuka of M23 alleged it showed the result of a firefight between FARDC and Wazalendo. We will refer to this as the M23 video. Note that this video is graphic. x.com/LawrenceKany...

I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

As someone currently in Kyiv, getting bombed, this.
If you genuinely think that a ceasefire in Ukraine that comes before a full territorial restoration of Kyiv's lands and the collapse of the Russian military and government of Vladimir Putin will bring lasting peace, you're sorely mistaken.

I'm as desperate to see the moral abominations in Gaza end as the rest of you, and I understand why there is so much anticipation that this might finally be a ceasefire, but given how this has played out over 2 years, some caution and skepticism should probably be advised.

I have deleted the post about Gripens for Ukraine, because the source article was based on a wishful thinking, instead of any official agreement or a pledge.

Our favourite egg about to get a job proposal from the SBU
The reason I was like this, was because I saw a NOTAM that suggested to me that Putin would be in Sarov today.
Turns out, he's in Sarov today.
Among many other things, Sarov is involved in the Burevestnik program. Guess we'll see if anything is said.

Let's not revive the "Ukr is super corrupt" narrative! Ukr's corruption is moderate (lower than Hungary, btw) and has declined since 2014. Backlash against anticorruption institutions isn't unusual; it happened in Italy in 1990s, in Romania in 2010s. Anticorruption inevitably gets politicized.
