Russia launched an overnight strike on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, marking the anniversary of its first wave of energy terror in 2022. Over 450 drones and 30+ missiles were used, causing power outages across Kyiv, Donetsk, Kharkiv, Poltava, Odesa, and more. Kyiv's left bank is without power.

“demise of literate culture has left us with a form of nonliteracy, in which simple texts can be processed but elaborate ones may as well be written in Linear B. Recovering familiarity w literate culture should be a priority, esp in primary & secondary school; the child is father to the undergrad.”

I know Time magazine totally fucking sucks, but it is amusing thinking about the sweat their editors are feeling right now. They could do the funniest (and totally justifiable) thing in the world and give it to Greta.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Anyone fighting in an army credibly accused of genocide, should be investigated for their involvement in that genocide.

All IDF wanting to return to/ visit Australia should be considered potential war criminals until proven otherwise.

Senator David Shoebridge @davidshoebridge.bsky.social · 3d

I asked if the Government would take steps to stop Australians fighting in the IDF while it is perpetrating a genocide

The Minister says he wishes for peace. What??

📢 SBS staff remain unable to use the word Palestine in news reporting despite federal recognition of the state last month as tensions over reporting on the conflict in Gaza remain high.

By all means, indict Jack Smith on bullshit allegations and give him the trial that SCOTUS denied him.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Over the weekend Georgia's resistance nearly stormed the oligarch controlled kremlin friendly fascist presidential palace, breaking down its gates, as thousands of brave people in Tbilisi took the streets and fought off waves of fascist police forces. #3E #GeorgiaProtests
