«СК SOS»: бежавшую чеченку Алию Оздамирову вывезли из Грузии обратно в Чечню, а через два дня ее похоронили.

Она хотела уехать из Грузии в безопасную страну, но с ней связалась «знакомая адвокат», убедившая, что ее не выпустят из страны. Дядя, которому она доверяла, убедил ее задержаться.

Demà farà 10 anys dels atemptats a Bataclan i terrasses de París.

Hi ha un llibre esplèndid que retrata aquella nit, el perfil dels autors, d'algunes víctimes, i del judici que es va celebrar. És 13-N, d'Emmanuel Carrère. Val molt la pena llegir-lo.
Diez años después de los mayores ataques terroristas en Francia, que dejaron 90 muertos en el interior de Bataclan, la fila para entrar en la sala da la vuelta a la manzana. “No volver es permitir que triunfe el miedo y ganen ellos”
La difícil reconstrucción del Bataclan: “No volver es permitir que triunfe el miedo”
La histórica sala, donde murieron 90 de las 130 víctimas del peor atentado en la historia de Francia, ha logrado salir adelante a pesar del trauma, las dificultades económicas y el cambio de propietarios

Digital Crackdown in #Russia: for the first time a person faces charges for simply searching online articles.

A nurse was reported to the FSB by his mobile operator (!) for reading about the Azov battalion.

His lawyer claims the search was accidental.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk: “Putin has tools that can destroy the European Union as an organization, but also Europe as a cultural phenomenon.

“These tools are Russia’s fifth columns, present in every country of Europe.”

Boom!

A good deal of my time spent on the beach at Jökulsárlón is trying to capture waves hitting icebergs, without the iceberg moving (and being blurred). Occasionally it all comes together :)

Our Ithumba orphans adore wild-born calves, but they also know that they can get away with anything. On this day, Kindani had enough. Subiri did something to offend her, so she got her revenge with a tail pull, a shove, and a kick. Subiri's mum Sunyei and nannies were over in a flash, no harm done.

Totally agree.

Staying on X only benefits Musk. People who care about democracy should leave that platform. Full stop.
Being on X enables Musk and Musk enables the far right. There is no longer any excuse to be there and people need to leave.

What's the difference between a President threatening to withhold money based on how people vote vs promising to give money in exchange for votes? In other words: how is this not illegal? Trump backs Cuomo, threatens to cut funds for New York City if Mamdani wins.

#AUTUMN BEAUTY I was struck by the unsettlingly dark beauty of the #Bronte family home & churchyard when I visited Haworth. Shrouded in mist among the #autumn leaves it was clear no coward soul could live here. Glorious in its gothic gloom.

A president so stupid that one of the great intellectual achievements of his life is “passing” a dementia screening. A president so narcissistic that he can’t stop bragging about passing that dementia screening as evidence of his immense genius.
Trump: AOC is low IQ. If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard…

The first couple of questions are easy. A tiger, an elephant, a giraffe..
