I only read English but I seek out news from other countries to get a bigger view of what’s happening in the world.
Ukraine, France & Japan all have English language versions of their news available on BlueSky.
In case you’re interested, this thread for sources I’ve found.

With the Epstein case, we either end up in a world where pedophilia, sexual assault of children, and human trafficking are endorsed by the United States of America, or we hold every single person involved in these heinous crimes accountable. It appears the Trump regime is trying hard for the former.

A lot is still unknown, but what we do know is how the president is reacting to the revelations found this week in the Epstein emails.
Which is to say, like he’s guilty.

The Last March of the Ents into Isengard has a more satisfying victory than the Battle of Helm’s Deep.
My favorite part is when the Ent who’s on fire dips his head into the released river.

This is what happens when you limit airborne vax for ppl over 65 (UK upped the age for the 2022/23 flu season).
Maybe mitigate airborne risks: air filtration, resp masks, etc. Then you don't have to rinse and repeat this year after year.
I expect to see these kinds of # in US soon.
