istg westerners think eastern european anarchists don’t understand how NATO works and that we need geopolitics of our own region explained to us so we “finally” understand that imperialism=bad.

have you considered Ukrainian anarchists join the army bc their homes are bombed and they dont want to live under far-right totalitarian occupation, not bc they secretly support their state’s involvement in Middle East?

you’re so inclined to paint Ukrainians as fair game you bring up irrelevant examples of settler colonial states before conceding that they’re not relevant bc Ukraine isn’t one. you’re going to eventually end up at “if Putin decides to keep expanding his invasion we should let it happen,

you’re the one arguing to do nothing? please read for 5 minutes about how hard it is to be an anarchist right now in Belarus under a Kremlin-controlled dictator and then come back here to argue that Ukrainians should wait for the same fate.

remember, if your country is about to be occupied by a fascist foreign state, you should not get involved. Just let is play out. It’ll probably be easier to do leftist organizing under occupation. im really into history btw

As if there are only two options, supporting imperialist war or imperialist peace. Particularly in Germany (whose arms industry significantly supports both Israel and Ukraine), people, particularly anarchists, should not be warmongering. The NATO war effort doesn't need anarchist support anyway.

Ukrainians dont exist in your head as people, just an abstract mass somewhere vaguely east, huh?

This is the final 'poll of polls' before the Dutch elections. Three parties at the same level, and two more not much smaller. Given the high percentage of late deciders and voters in doubt, the outcome is still very much uncertain. 🧵

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

Hundreds of Kenyan youth have been lured to the Russian frontline in Ukraine with promises of work, visas and pay in exchange for fighting for Russia. Others were told they would be going to Russia for higher education only to be sent to the frontline.

KENYA'S BOLD NEWSPAPER
The Standard
Trapped in Russia

Russia's war on Ukraine is now affecting Kenyans directly with severe consequences as it emerges that hundreds of the country's youths have been trapped and forced to fight on Russia's frontlines, with dozens killed and many more nursing life-changing injuries in military hospitals. Most were promised well-paying jobs but were coerced into the army upon arrival. Today we release the identities of five young men who travelled to Rusia between Juty and August whose whereabouts are unknown back home but are said to be on the frontlines.

Here in Seattle, furloughed NOAA employees were out in the pouring rain cleaning up beaches yesterday, part of a national week of service organized by federal workers who can't do their jobs due to the shutdown.

Americans need to reconcile that this is pretty much what the Obama-era drone strikes were. Any time a prior administration abused its power and it was greeted by a shrug because “we’re the good guys” - this is why you shouldn’t do that.

At least 46 people have been killed in the attacks.

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

10/10 response, no notes

Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast)

because about half of journalism today is just doing a karaoke tier cover version of other people's reporting, the initial claim is now being repeated in other outlets. Great stuff! I can't possibly think why the industry is falling apart.
