Making civilians cold doesn't help the Russian war effort at all. Its just vengence.
Kyiv after the Russian attack:
The temperature is -9°C, dropping to -15°C overnight.
Tens of thousands of people are without heating, water, electricity.
Those who have gas are trying to keep warm by heating bricks on their stoves.
This is what genocide looks like in the 21st century.

If I was advising the EU—and I 100% should be—my advice is that you prepare three sets of sanction packages:
1. Deliberate targeting of personal/corporate assets of Trump, Musk, Andressen, Sacks, etc like they’re Russian oligarchs by doing stuff like seizing Gigafactory Berlin. This gets used first.

Israel is forcing Doctors Without Borders & dozens of other humanitarian groups to end their work in Gaza. Countless innocent people rely on these services amid the ongoing crisis there.
This is yet another cruel, inhumane step from the extremist Israeli government.

I was one of the first 10 people to sign up for Twitter in Ireland. I left over a year ago. It was bad enough then - it’s black and white unacceptable now. There’s no good reason to be on it and, now, no good reason why it’s not being prosecuted.

Irish companies should be leaving X in their droves but most seem to be willing to ride out the latest controversy. Irish freelance journalist @philipoconnor.bsky.social on why you should reconsider your relationship with X and its maniacal leader, Elon Musk. #grok #ai #spéirghorm
Staying on Twitter doesn’t make you special – let that sink in
If you’re still active on Twitter, the most important question you need to answer today is why it’s so important to you to support a platform that is monetising child sexual abuse material.

Like many others I deleted my X account a couple of years back. There is no justifiable excuse for anyone to be on there. Not to mind our institutions.
In Dublin, on Fenian Street, there's a factory that makes child sex abuse material.
You can pay it money, as a subscription, and that's one of the services it offers. This doesn't happen by mistake or because you've tricked or hacked the system.
It’s a feature.

All schools should immediately shut down their X accounts if they haven't already - Grok can use pictures they've uploaded of childten they have a duty to protect.
