This ladies, gentlemen, and everyone in between, is why you don't trust AI.

London rail stations with a "y" include Marylebone, West Ruislip, Finchley Road, Belsize Park, Kensal Green, and Leytonstone. Other stations with a "y" in their name are Euston, King's Cross, Paddy Park, and Waterloo. There are numerous stations with "y" in their name, but these are some of the most well-known.

Yeah, there were some seeds of good themes to cover in depth, but the post itself seemed lacking substance.

Almost worst, we tried to pretend what she said didn’t matter and got right down to business with Putin

Nicolas Tenzer @nicolastenzer.bsky.social · 5d

Nineteen years ago, on October 7, 2006, Anna Politkovskaya was assassinated by Putin's hitmen.
She was the first to tell the truth about Russia's mass crimes in Chechnya, which foreshadowed those in Syria, Ukraine, Africa and elsewhere. They could have been prevented.
Almost no one listened to her.

Estonia has shut a section of the border with Russia after the appearance of armed Russian groups.

It sparked fears of a repeat of Russia's "little green men" who invaded Crimea.

This is how Estonia state news is reporting the incident.

Tim, a reminder that exactly three months from today, Kyiv time, the "Three Day Special Military Operation" will have lasted longer than the Great Patriotic War.

Our Russian "friends" may want to know that.

It's a misguided argument. Those 841 are not "russian speaking minority", they are russian citizens who for whatever reason wanted to live in Latvia.

I can't wait for this "big tent" to provide funding to some communist trans catgirl collectives who are working on F/OSS. After all, it's not some mealy-mouthed bullshit to provide cover for the fact that they're just funding fash.

I’m writing to let you know that today (Oct 11th) our team will release a major report. It covers nearly a decade of tank production across various variants. This document-based report will uncover Russian plans to expand and modernize its tank fleet. I hope you’ll have a chance to read and share it
