To my Ukrainian friends: вдачi і вдалого полювання
Pinned
I spent a decade arguing with antivaxxers on X. Showing them papers. Explaining their errors. Correcting their disinformation.

I've done my bit for "dialogue with people I disagree with".

I'm here to hang out with people I like. For everyone else, I have no guilt about using the block button.
Oh No. How will the person who gave the AI the prompts ever recreate the titanic creative endeavour of giving the AI the same prompts in order to print off another copy of the 'work,' assuming they hadn't saved them.

Putting wheels on the cross to make it easier to carry is probably the most MAGA Evangelical thing ever. All of the victimhood but none of the sacrifice.

Well, @4allout.bsky.social, since you turned off replies you made it difficult to give you what you asked for, but here we go: the authentic, nuanced, balanced and unbiased view here is that the Nazis were shit both morally and in terms of basic competence, and you have the intellect of a shoelace.

This has been obvious for some time now.

What it *really* does, of course, is validate the opportunity for *another referendum*, which - in addition to generating a democratic basis for national orientation - would devastate Reform's platform. Win-win for Lab. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

The Russians, some of whose drones are now using Starlink terminals, are being assisted by people in the Trump administration?

I am shocked. Shocked, I tell you.
Trump Admin works for Russia - here is the proof:

„Ukrainian intell services sent false strategic info to US intell services ... and observed that the information had been relayed to RUS and was used by RUS forces."

You know what, this is actually very belittling to people who really did die from nerve agents, like Dawn Sturgess, thousands of Kurds and Iraqis, at least a thousand or more Syrians.

Answering the hitherto unconsidered question, what do you get if you cross a Blenheim with a P-38?
The Fokker G.1 (1937) was developed as a bomber interceptor, with secondary roles of ground attack or reconnaissance. 36 aircraft fitted with Bristol Mercury engines and carrying the heavy armament of eight machine guns in the nose were ordered by the Dutch Air Force.

Bluesky has just welcomed & verified ICE.

Yes, you can (and should) block @icegov.bsky.social

…but also think about the violent dangerous hatred the ICE account will spread to those who don't block it, and the consequent radicalisation.

Time to consider Fediverse/Mastodon!

I imagine various European intelligence agencies have obtained the Epstein files. Europe's heads of state should tell Trump that if he makes a move on Greenland, unredacted versions will immediately be released on the web and to major media outlets.

BlueSky is not an American echo chamber. There are non-American people on here and there are people like me who are Americans who have lived abroad for a long time.

People of Britain! If you have one of these gaudy-but-ghastly gewgaws, you can get rid of it *and* serve your country by donating it to Donald Trump, currying favour with the magpie of the Oval Office.

"Churchill, who considered the Gestapo the paramount example of 'the odious apparatus of the Nazi state', would've supported ICE" is by some measure the most moronic argument I've seen among the terminally online in quite some time.
