Ukraine’s 2025 Wrapped shows how the air-raid siren became the grim daily soundtrack for Ukrainians during Russia’s ongoing invasion.

Time Magazine quoting a @thebeaverton.com article about the US shooting a "patriot missile" at Parliament Hill like it's something Pete Hoekstra actually said might be my favourite moment of the week. Congrats, @ianmmacintyre.bsky.social, you very serious reporter! www.cbc.ca/news/world/b...

As temperatures drop and the nights grow longer, russia carries out a terror campaign against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. For millions of Ukrainians, this is a daily reality: light one moment, darkness the next.

Help intercept russian aerial threats:

Yes, Canadian pacific did a very very creative job. Taking inspiration for actual vehicle painting practices of each branch and applying them to locomotives was a cool move.

Much better than FLAG WRAP+CAMO dogshit we see too often. Have at least *one* ounce of creativity.

Russia has officially integrated occupied Ukrainian territories into its Southern Military District and plans to begin mobilizing 50,000 to 100,000 residents for the war effort, according to Ukraine’s National Resistance Center. Men aged 18–55, including conscripts, will be recruited by force.

Sunday a.m. after the gut wrenching loss by our #BlueJays in G 7 of the #WorldSeries. It was a shocker. Despite the sadness of the team & millions of fans, I’m grateful to this extraordinary band of brothers who gave us an exciting & uplifting season baseball. They were champions & we love 💙 them.

It's gutting.

But in the cold light of morning, what matters is that it was the best Toronto sports story in years. Probably a better story, even, than the Raptors winning in 2019.

And we got to experience it fully.

But man, two outs away.

Ukrainian troops rescued a camel used by the Russian military near Russian positions in the Kharkiv region.

Russia adopts low-tech solutions as the war decreases Russia’s hi-tech equipment and highly skilled manpower.

And of course here is our nightly drone attack, sounds of air defence at work, and explosions. So tired of this constant terror. Literally all we ever wanted is to live like human beings. And it’s still too much to ask for.
