@deaidua.org I haven't seen much in the way of russia's long range bombers being used of late, as well as other aircraft, I presume they'll be out of Ukrainian range & undergoing repairs they need but has there been any news of Taurus of late as now would be an ideal opportunity if location is known

Talks don’t work when one side is negotiating under pressure and the other feels it can wait.
Peace only works when #Ukraine goes into negotiations from a position of strength — and that’s not what’s happening right now.

A reminder that racist historian David Starkey, said in 2020:
"Slavery was not genocide, otherwise there wouldn't be so many damn blacks in Africa or in Britain would there? An awful lot of them survived."
He's speaking at this year's How The Light Gets In festival.

Fuck this guy. With bells on. By his “standards” I’m not even British. And anyone who isn’t white only serves to be his taxi driver. He’s a filthy individual and it galls me that despite repeated chances he hasn’t evolved at all and people still give him a platform.

–15°C outside. Around 5°C inside apartments.
People move from café to café just to warm up. At home, there’s no heat, no power, no way to live normally.
