1/ What a Russian breaking of the ceasefire will look like, step by step.
There are far better experts on this, but I was an Australian diplomat in Ukraine in 2014 so I've seen this play out up close.
So join me, brothers and sisters, as we count down to a fullscale re-invasion.

Trump’s collusion with Russia and ultimatum to Ukraine are a dangerous break from America’s values and strategic commitments. His approach abandons our allies, sows chaos around the world, and enriches a small circle of elites at the expense of American security.

Manden og partiet modarbejder åbenlyst Danmarks nationale sikkerhed og spotter enhver form for "borgerlig anstændighed".

"Alex Vanopslagh (LA), Mona Juul (K) og Inger Støjberg (DD) må være i panik. De har smisket og slesket for DF og inviteret Messerschmidt til fællesmøder og ’Borgerligt Konvent’. Det var spildte kræfter, for man kan jo ikke have en regering med sådan et støtteparti."

Looks like X is juicing web visit numbers by opening a browser WebView in the background whether the user visits the link or not.
They've re-invented pop-under fraud (allegedly).

![Tell HN: X is opening any tweet link in a webview whether you press it or not

Just saw the CEO of Substack celebrating traffic from X/Twitter shooting up thinking they stopped suppressing tweets with links[0]. Actually, this traffic is because now any time you open a tweet with a link, the in-app webview loads in the background, and displays when you press the link.
I run an ecom store that gets a lot of its customers from Twitter. I was also shocked to see my traffic double or triple overnight and thought the algorithm had blessed me and my business. Soon realized what was actually happening. Thought other traffic-monitors might appreciate this explanation.
Meanwhile Nikita Bier is pretending they never suppressed tweets with links to begin with, offering the alternative explanation: "a common complaint is that posts with links tend to get lower reach. This is because the web browser covers the post and people forget to Like or Reply. So X doesn't get a clear signal whether the content is any good"[1]. A bit of a rewriting of history since Elon and his mom both tweeted about how it wasn't fair to use his platform to promote other links/platforms, even banning people who shared profiles of other social networks (including Paul Graham for a period). They suppressed all links shortly after.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
