1/ #OnThisDay 2014 russian Buk shot down passenger aircraft #MH17 (Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur) over Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine. All 283 passengers, including 80 children, and 15 crew were killed. 12 years later, russians are still murdering civilians every single day. -> 2/

Fact Check: Claims, #PeteHegseth pulled out a shoe and "shot" servicemembers like criminal killer Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson) did in the "Pulp Fiction" movie are FALSE. But allegedly some service members looked releaved when they were still alive after the prayer. #Satire

+++ BREAKING +++ Donald J. Trump was awarded the 2026 Ignoble Greenpeace Prize! By blocking the Strait of Hormuz & spiking global oil prices Trump has done more to push the world toward energy transition than Greta Thunberg & every Green Party combined! Congratulations!

Just sayin...

I despise Trump AND Mullahs alike, BUT: obliterating Iran's power grid crosses into war-crime territory. Drought already has reservoirs near-empty (~10%); recent strikes damaged desal (Qeshm, March 7). Blackouts kill water pumping for 80M. Echoes Putin's attacks on frozen Ukraine

1/ #Breaking: Joint declaration of President Macron and Chancellor Merz. The ultimate act of peace-minded realism: making the cost of aggression so clear that war becomes unthinkable. Deeply grateful for the leadership of Merz, Macron, Starmer, and Tusk. www.elysee.fr/en/emmanuel-...

3/ Under normal circumstances, I would not dare "lecture" the WaPo and other respected media, but in this case, the Kremlin is already exploiting their mistake and I cannot let that happen. Please excuse my boldness. Final thoughts:

2/ Zelenskyy's Christmas Message starts with the "perish" citation of the Ukrainian Anthem, but HIS personal message starts at "But" in Sentence 2. Cutting before "But" is Quote mining, missing the real message! Blue marked text belongs all together: www.president.gov.ua/en/news/priv...

1/ WARNING: @ZelenskyyUa did -> NOT wish "death to Putin," but the opposite! Even Washington Post, The Independent, etc. all got this -> WRONG! To understand this, you need to know the Ukrainian Anthem & how he transcends it in this speech. See the full context here and 2/ ff🧵->

This is my flag. It stands for unity, freedom, peace, democracy, equality, civilization, diversity, rule of law, science, beauty and strength. There is nothing more important to fight for. #EuropeUnited NOTE: If USA, RF, China dislike unity, you are free to disintegrate yourself!

#FunFact of the day - and note: While I find this ultra funny, it is even true! No kidding:

FAKE WARNING: catturd2 and others spread this AI Image as if it is genuine, but it is FAKE. Note: By experience Facebook will soon also get it and then punish ME for "spreading fake news". I spread the debunk anyway, here on BSKY and also on Facebook. Source: x.com/airplanemxdu...

Quote via Roman Sheremeta This is the right move. Zelensky won’t be flying to Trump alone — he’ll be joined by von der Leyen, Macron, Starmer, Merz, Meloni, and Finnish President Stubb ... A united front. Europe stands with Ukraine. -- End quote My appendix: #slavaukraïni #StandWithUkraine

Most odd of the "report" seems not what they say, but what they are omitting. They refer to multiple negative feedbacks (aka stabilizing) but omit main positive feedbacks. CN pending under Curry: x.com/i/grok/share...

Sorry, only in German language: The usually highly accurate and smart perplexity-ai miscounted a word with 20 letters and claimed it has 22 letters. Only after I insisted multiple times it learned that it made a mistake and then confirmed it has only 20 letters:

1/ Happy Birthday to the first American, looking up notes, in space: Albert II, a male rhesus macaque monkey was the first primate and first mammal to travel to outer space, aboard a U.S. V-2 sounding rocket on June 14, 1949. Image: AI Impression of the press speaker. Link in 2/

1/ ++ URGENT WARNING ++ #Hegseth spreads AI generated FAKE image! Pending CN: "While accurate that someone had a Mexican flag, this is an AI-generated image. At no time were people near the vehicle while it was on fire, as is portrayed in the image." 🧵

4/ Just a reminder why the #KerchBridge #KerchBridgeOnFire is a 100% legitimite military target - besides standing on internationally recognized Ukrainian soil. OLD Video but still showing how Putin uses it militarily. Voice seems a Russian bragging about it:

LEAKED: The REAL reason, why #creationism never gets a fair chance in science class! crafted by chatGPT and with my ideas.

1/ My open letter to US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio: Sir Secretary of State Rubio, I regrettingly have to report Donald J. Trump for what to me looks as suspicious and potentially anti-Christian behavior. Not sure how to understand this otherwise. The incident: 🧵⤵️ 2/

2/ Via @RasmusJarlov: I am sad to hear that Colonel Susan Meyers has been fired as the commander of the American Pituffik (Thule) Space Base in Greenland. As chairman of Denmark's defense committee, I arranged a trip to Pituffik in August and we had the pleasure of Colonel Meyers' company. ⤵️
