Belgium a small country? It depends who you compare it to. Our friends from #Estonia (1.4 million inhabitants) see #Belgium (11.8 million inhabitants) as a large country. The #NAFO @69thSB has entrusted its 🇧🇪 Battalion with a mission. Let's show what the Beer Bastards are! This the way 👉help99.co/patches/belgiu…

I have to admit I was wrong – Putin’s annual live TV shitshow turned out to be worth studying after all. Today made it perfectly clear what Vladimir Putin is in late 2024. This man is sick. He genuinely relishes the mass bloodshed he has orchestrated and takes even greater delight in his impunity. With a smirk and mannerisms, he savors the blood. He is nothing but a pathetic figure, drunk on absolute power, finding perverse joy in mass sadism to caress his wretched ego. For him, the most devastating war in Europe since Adolf Hitler is nothing but an exciting game of toy soldiers. He openly regresses into a childlike state, gushing with unrestrained enthusiasm about weapons of mass murder. I don’t know how anyone can seriously talk about negotiations or, let alone, peace with a man who, with childlike straightforwardness, seriously proposed live on air that the West stage a competition between his new beloved 'Wunderwaffe' and Western missiles defense systems – in the sky over a 4-million European capital? With every passing year, Putin spirals further into literal madness and detachment from reality, just like all tyrants eventually do. He has eyes, shall see.

@Davided19279031 @pimoroni @Raspberry_Pi I should probably do a post of my own about my setup 🙂Code needs a bit more refactoring, but I mimiced an Oregon Scientific weather station on my @pimoroni display, designing an SVG template, and having @MistralAI write a lot of the nodeJS code.

The declassified British intelligence memo about Russia's involvement in the poisonings in the EU has caused a lot of noise in the media, but even when it was happening, there were many people who pointed to Russia's involvement. Back then, everyone wanted to be friends with 1/15

@BM_Visser Hoe zagen de jaren 2019-2021 er uit? We hebben lockdowns gehad, in 2022 de Russische (her)invasie van Oekraïne... Het lijkt me moeilijk om een van de laatste jaren als 'normaal' te beschouwen, los van de toename hernieuwbaar.

@numfuksteinstan If she doesn't eat cats and dogs – she's safe, right? Right??

@Jokke_vlo Hoezo is DeTafelvanGert gelijk aan "de media"? In mijn media was absoluut niemand zeker over de uitkomst gisteren.

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Grammatical nitpick here: "planned until" is a Germanism (translation of "bis"). "Planned by 2040" would be better – unless you really mean that they will stay in the planning phase until 2040, and only then want to get started with the construction 😄

This is #ArezooKhavari, a 16-year-old who took her own life after relentless harassment by her school principal over the Islamic hijab. Her smile, her beautiful hair, and the victory sign in this photo break my heart. She was just a teenage girl who wanted the simple freedom to wear what she liked, to dance, to feel the wind in her hair. But the regime forced her to carry the weight of Islamic dress codes until she chose death over a life of humiliation. This is another kind of killing, a young girl crushed by a system that leaves no room for joy or choice. Recently, Arezoo Badri was shot by the morality police for not wearing hijab and is now paralyzed in a hospital. Another woman at Tehran University took off her clothes after being harassed for resisting, and now she is under the pressure of the regime and accusations of mental instability. These are the horrors we women in Iran live every single day. And when we share our pain, some in the West worry about fueling Islamophobia. Please, don’t look away. Islamic ideology is killing us. Iranian woman are fed up with this gender apartheid regime.

"When the last Ukrainian soldier falls, Putin will come for you." - First, russia came for the Chechens. But we didn't even know where that is. - Then russia came for the Georgians. But we pretended not to see it. - Then russia came for the Crimeans and Donbas. But we pretended it was their own fault. - Then russia came for all Ukrainians. And we still pretend russia will stop there. Putin's invasions of Chechnya (1999), Georgia (2008), Crimea (2014) and Ukraine (2022) all lead to the same conclusion: Someone else will be next. Will it be Moldova? The Baltics? Poland? Russia won't stop unless it is stopped. And the only way to stop russia is by standing with Ukraine. Otherwise, russia will come for us.

@Fred_J_Earls @evclinic Well, the large majority of their EVs do actually work (relatively) error-free, and they were - until the 🇨🇳 EVs arrived - some of the cheapest EVs in the Europe (cheap being relative). So that's 2 reasons. I'd be nervous if I got errors with one out-of-warranty for sure tho.

🧵 A thread addressed to my fellow conservatives who are planning to vote, or considering voting, for Trump. 1/13

@elonmusk Democrats are in power right now; you’re still walking around freely and spreading misinformation, and they have awarded you multibillion-dollar government contracts. Enough with the BS, Drama Queen.

🇬🇪SHOCKING REPORTS emerge of widespread, coordinated election fraud during Georgia’s parliamentary elections. The details reveal a well-oiled machine of manipulation—far too intricate to be local improvisation. 🧵Here’s what went down and why international action is essential.

It's hard to imagine what could be worse than what is already out there about Trump. Here are just a few clips/stories that should be disqualifying. 1. Trump comments on the breasts of his 1-year-old baby:

Focusing for a moment on the POLICIES at play. Voters were asked whether they supported 100 different policies, but weren't told whether the policy was from Trump or Harris. Nearly all of Harris' policies got majority support from the public, and... 🧵

“It is the grossest, most cynical ploy in an election cycle that’s rotten with cynical ploys,” says @chrislhayes on the Elon Musk pro-Trump PAC’s microtargeting of Michigan voters.

For a better understanding of how "peace treaties" with Russia go, here's Russia in 1997 signing a treaty with Chechnya after Russia's failed invasion killed from 50,000-100,000 people there. Two years after they had re-armed, Russia disgarded this treaty, AGAIN invaded, killing another 100,000, including all the Chechen leadership as well as razing much of the country to the ground. This is the Russian peace that many discuss forcing onto Ukraine.

Aviation accounts for 3.5% of climate change impact, and it's one of the sectors where emissions are increasingly most rapidly. But where do aviation emissions come from? The answer is in this new paper led by Frédéric Dobruszkes - THREAD doi.org/10.1016/j.jtra…
