2/ There are no provisions in the reported peace plan in which Russia makes any concessions, and ISW continues to assess that accepting Russian demands would set conditions for renewed Russian aggression against Ukraine.

As Adrian Smith, President of the Royal Society said earlier this year: "There have always been attacks on science, but today there are genuine concerns that we may be turning our backs on research and the values of calm, evidence-based debate and decision-making.

I have to say, @coolify.io is excellent. It's exactly what I've spent years looking for as a way to host my stuff.

So far, it's handled almost everything I've thrown at it with barely any drama.

Great investigative work here.
And many are made and pushed from abroad by foreign operators using farmed and monetized social media accounts, making money off domestic nationalists as cash cows or paid infops.

Spent today at Silverstone which has its own mad climate.

As always, I got soaked, wind blasted, frostbitten and sunburnt all at the same time.

Love that place.

If you're a reporter, please stop referring to RFK Jr and his cronies as "vaccine skeptics." They're not skeptical. Skepticism would be fine. Skeptics look at evidence and can be persuaded.

These people are extremist anti-vaccine cranks, and that's how news organizations should describe them.

How long do we have to endure these terrible TikTok subtitles on videos before we accept they're shite, and return to normal subtitles which allow you to read and watch the video at the same time?

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.
“Wikipedia is this economic anomaly. In many ways, it’s sort of magical that people will just volunteer without explicit economic incentives to create artifacts that are meant to share knowledge with everyone in the world”
