3/You know who gets charged and convicted under the espionage act? Spies. Traitors. Understand him that way. He’s not some child. He *knew* what he was doing, and he told people so. Now ask, cui bono? 🇷🇺 🇨🇳 🇸🇦 🇧🇷 🇹🇷 There’s the answer to the riddle.

On Tuesday an MSF convoy was stopped upon departure from our warehouse & checked by RSF forces. The RSF requested we make a statement on camera regarding RSF procedures in this particular circumstance & we were obliged to do this for our convoy to be able to continue its journey.

And this is effectively the same argument the Kean/Blumenthal UFO piece relies on. The reason this technique keeps popping up is because it’s one of a few tricks one can use to manufacture a fake thing out of thin air. Very useful in information warfare.

We need a term of art for the fallacy "so many smart tech people believe something, therefore there must be something there." As a technologist, stop trusting technologists. Smart people are often some of the dumbest people at predicting the future.

This is fake news! Bata is not closing. It’s just an annual pause in production for factory and machinery maintenance, it happens every year in August. It just so happened to come up earlier this year. Also it’s not even the whole factory it is just part of the factory

He was wrong about EVERYTHING. Literally NONE of his predictions came true. ABSOLUTELY NONE. You can't name a single one that came true. The people who adopted his ideals ALL became murderers and founders of shithole failed states. ALL OF THEM. By that metric, he is the stupid...

These kids will have stories for days. Extremely good performance despite the circumstances. Especially keeping the baby alive.

The survivors are 13, 9, 4 and a baby. They survived alone in the jungle for about 40 days. They're dehydrated and have insect bites, but otherwise in good condition

I'm starting to see design and functionality cues from the Land Cruiser 70-Series in the new GX550 dash area. Anyone else seeing this vibe?

Quite utilitarian overall, deep pockets and recessess throughout.

(1/2) Even during #COVID19, our security assistance to Ukraine steadily continues! Last week, we delivered more vehicles for the Armed Forces of Ukraine to use in the JFO zone.
