"By 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time. We estimate that investment was reduced by between 12% and 18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%"

Another night of horror in Kyiv: russia attacked the capital again, killing at least 6 civilians, and injuring 14 more.

People screaming inside a burning apartment is a nightmare that came true.

The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.

I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait.

"The artist likely created this masterpiece between 1933 and 1936. A β€œ36” next to his signature suggests the work was completed in 1936. The painting was first shown at his solo exhibition in 1936 at the MΓΌller Gallery in Buenos Aires."

"The Year 1933"

A painting by Ukrainian artist Viktor Tsymbal. It is one of the first paintings about the #Holodomor and, at the same time, one of the most powerful in its imagery, meanings, and the emotions it evokes.

On 22 November 2025 Ukraine marks Holodomor Commemoration Day, remembering millions killed in the 1932–33 famine engineered by Stalin.

Up to seven million died as grain was seized and food exports continued.

The Soviet regime denied the famine then; Russia continues to deny today.
