When I see the war raging on & doubts begin to creep in, I think of Oleksandr Matsievskyi, the resolve in his eyes & his final, fearless words “Slava Ukraini.”
Over the past three years, I have seen his spirit in Ukrainians, their courage, resilience, & unwavering will.

@naomiohreally.bsky.social has this been a question put to European and Irish politicians?
It actually is mind blowing to check out X and see what is essentially 4chan which is also populated with politicians, media figures, "thought leaders" etc.
A dystopian horror, really. Where neo-Nazis now have equal standing with mainstream leaders. There is a reason Fuentes is now so mainstreamed.

The authoritarian takeover of X was a harbinger of the regime’s strategy for America at large.
Bluesky is a perfectly adequate refuge for X exiles. The biggest problem with Bluesky is that so many political and media elites are still on X. That’s not Bluesky’s fault—it reflects poorly on the elite.

I would have though that AI dubbing would have made more progress because of the potential money unlock. It unlocks movies and TV for other markets, making back catalogs more valuable and creating entirely new markets.

The amount of scraping by AI companies right now is insane. My tiny little hobby project sites getting between 1m and 500k requests a day.
Funnily tens of thousands of those visits are seen as unique visitors, good enough to fool advertisers…

Reporting this story, the same details kept appearing in police investigations around Europe: the perpetrators turned out to have been recruited and offered cash over Telegram.
European authorities are increasingly open in saying who is responsible: Russia.

Trumps envoy, Witkoff, used a Russian agent as his interpreter thinking she was from the US Embbassy.
