Ukrainian media report that two 16-year-old boys from Melitopol were tortured to death while in Russian captivity.

Danylo Dakhov and Pavlo Hrymak were detained in August 2023, accused of involvement in the sabotage movement "Black Sabotage."

Credible reports suggest that hundreds of ICE detainees have “disappeared” in recent months, meaning their families and lawyers can’t find them in ICE’s databases or locate them in known detention centers.

All problems in Russia come from higher education — declared by the Russian Orthodox Church.

Archpriest Andrey Tkachev is convinced that enlightenment leads to godlessness, and the human mind becomes the main source of people's ruin.

At this point, Twitter is probably mostly bots which is why engagement is so bad. Who cares if you have 3 million followers if no one meaningfully engages with it.
Alt text: A Twitter/X thread about the size and engagement of audiences on Twitter versus Bluesky. Nate Silver begins by stating there are about 10,000 Twitter accounts with over 1 million followers and only nine on Bluesky. A quote tweet from Benjamin Ryan cites Washington Post columnist Shadi Hamid saying left-of-center pundits hurt themselves by moving to Bluesky. Clara Jeffery responds that her Bluesky audience is larger than her 15 years on Twitter, with more real people and fewer bots, though she wishes the platform were bigger and more diverse. Shadi Hamid reiterates that the move to Bluesky made many pundits irrelevant and shrank their impact. Derek Guy adds that despite having fewer followers on Bluesky, his engagement there is higher—he successfully raised $50k for an animal shelter on Bluesky, which he couldn’t do on Twitter. Nate Silver concludes by saying Bluesky engagement is limited, contributing only about 2% of traffic to his newsletter compared to X (Twitter), which is about 60 times larger. Even if Bluesky overperforms per capita, he argues, it is still much smaller.

🚨 73-year-old Harjit Kaur, a Bay Area grandmother, was detained by ICE after 30+ years in the U.S. & full compliance with check-ins. She is elderly, ill, & deserves freedom, not arbitrary detention. #HumanRights
