Russians don't give love to their children, but they steal and re-educate Ukrainian children with such perverse fanaticism
That's horrifying to watch… I almost threw up when I was downloading that video.
My little brother and I were kidnapped by Russia along with 19,000 other children when Putin invaded Ukraine. We need American help to save
The most painful quotes:
-When the Russians took me, I was sent to a technical school where I was subjected to daily false stories about Ukrainians and sometimes even insults. One day, I was called to the principal’s office and when I got there, she had citizenship documents ready for me to sign. I was stunned and disgusted. I had never been more afraid, but I refused to become a Russian citizen.
The principal glowered at me with hatred in her eyes. She berated me for being "stupid." Moments later, I was expelled and sent packing, in a country that I did not know, and that hated who I was.
-After Save Ukraine helped me return home, I needed to get my brother out too. I found him in a new foster family, but he was not the boy I knew. He had been subjected to months of Russian propaganda and manipulation. He was like a puppet, saying things that I knew he did not believe – that Ukraine was run by Nazis, that nobody in Ukraine cared about him and that he had no future unless he became a Russian citizen.
-When I begged him to return home with me, he refused. Hour after hour ticked by as we argued. As I was about to lose hope, he came to his senses and agreed to come home with me. We were lucky. But there are 19,000 kidnapped Ukrainian children still in Russia. The Russian government bombards them with propaganda and abuse to weaken their Ukrainian identity. Many are punished for speaking Ukrainian.
I'm in tears: "... I feel very sad and have no desire to live". Russians' obsession is to break Ukrainians mentally, including children.
Ukraine has handed over to Qatar a list with the names of 561 Ukrainian children who were taken to Russia. This was reported by Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets. ▪️Wait for the return of a group of Ukrainian children home. We are not disclosing details at this time. ▪️ Talking about the return of orphans and children deprived of parental care. Qatar agreed to work on the issue of their return to Ukraine. Preliminarily, there may be more than 3,600 such children. ▪️Qatar agreed to participate in negotiations with Russia on the return of civilians illegally detained by Russia. Lubinets also once again refuted Russian propaganda: there were no direct negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. All negotiations are mediated by Qatar.
Only on 27 April 2023, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe recognized that the forced transfer of Ukrainian children to Russia meets the criteria of genocide.
In the democratic world is "Never again", in the Russian world - "We can and will proudly repeat"
‼️Dnipropetrovsk region: 12-year-old boy killed, three injured in Russian attack
Two districts of the region were attacked by the enemy.
In the Vasylkivka hromada of the Synelnykove district, the Russians targeted a residential area with a UAV. A boy, born in 2013, was killed. His parents - a woman, born in 1988, and a man, born in 1986, were injured. A private house was destroyed, another one was damaged
In the Pokrovske hromada of the Nikopol district, a man, born in 1955, was also injured in the enemy attack - he suffered a mine-explosive injury.

Being Ukrainian, the past three years have been such a slide from "Oh, this celebrity/public figure/influencer said something kind or supportive of our survival, it feels nice" to "Oh, I guess we are no longer a fashionable cause to virtue-signal about".
And with the destruction, death and atrocities only rising, the silence looks not just hypocritical, but increasingly hostile and deliberate.
They WANT us to die in silence because they got bored with our "trend" and have moved on to the next one. With just as much sincerity in their support for that other cause (none).
It's an either/or binary to them, as if these topics are rivaling fandoms.
The world is actively destroying its own humanity. Performativity is a powerful tool for it.
A few weeks ago was reading an article about Oleksandr Hordiienko and how Ukrainian farmers work despite constant drone threat, and today he was killed by a russian drone.
After the de-occupation, he single-handedly cleared hundreds of hectares of fields of mines, and in order to continue working on the land, he was saving equipment and workers from shelling.
It's devastating. Every farmer working in near-frontline territories is risking their lives. Truly, bravest of bravest.
Today from russian captivity was returned Bohdan Kovalchuk, Ukrainian civillian man who was held captive since 2016. He was 17 years old in 2016 and was captured when trying to leave russian-occupied territory.

There are many people who are held captive in russia since 2014, but russia refuses to exchange them. But today one of those people was brought back! He spent 4013 days in russian captivity.
The way putin (war criminal) is gonna enter USA tomorrow freely and welcomed to meet with trump (convicted felon), but immigrants are the ones who are the problem and lawbreakers who need to be punished 💀💀💀
I know that lesbian is also a word that can refer to someone from the island of lesbos and when Herodotus says that a king “sent his lesbians” to do something he’s referring to soldiers from lesbos
but I can’t get the image out of my head of a king or general pointing at a city and yelling “go, my lesbians!” and then a bunch of gay women running in to burn it down
Nothing but respect for our troops

John Oliver gets it, as usual. AI Slop is one of the best episodes of Last Week Tonight I've seen so far. Gen AI is theft. Those who use it are not authors or artists, they're grifters profiting from real creatives.
Tag yourself as this list of “bad art” features, according to a twitter fascist
“Never Forget” until the new target is those that they disagree with.
Edit: please watch this video essay by Jacob Geller. It speaks on really important points as to how “bad art” is a weapon of fascism and how it reflects the Degenerate Art Exhibition(s)
It's worth noting that the nazis were happening at the same time as Modern Art, and the transition from Representative to Abstract art.
Western art had been, from the Renaissance up to the middle of the 19th century, underpinned by the logic of perspective and an attempt to reproduce an illusion of visible reality. By the end of the 19th century, many artists felt a need to create a new kind of art which would encompass the fundamental changes taking place in technology, science and philosophy. (from Wikipedia)
This is a reaction to paintings like this:
(Tableau I, Piet Mondrian, 1921)
(Champs de Mars: La Tour Rouge by Robert Delaunay, 1911)
But it wasn't just paintings. The nazis also thought architecture was "degenerate". Stuff like this:
(A Bauhaus style building in Chemnitz)
(La Samaritaine department store in Paris by Henri Sauvage (1925–1928)
(Club Moderne, designed by architect Fred F. Willson and built by Frank Wullus in 1937 for John Francisco)
I am showing you because it is important to understand what they were calling "degenerate", and understand that Art in the West had been moving away from representing reality and into specifically NOT doing that for SOME DECADES. They had likely grown up with new styles of architecture that were a radical departure from all that had come before (Nouveau, Deco, Moderne, Modern, Futurism, Bauhaus), ditto with philosophy, paintings, clothing, even gender politics. The Weimar Republic was the centre of the cutting edge of queer rights and that was largely thanks to people like Hirschfeld, basically the first person in the West to say there was nothing particularly wrong with trans people and help them transition and live their lives to the fullest. He also wrote and advocated for the queer community, and kept a huge library (which was burned by nazis in 1933 during one of these sweeps for "degenerate art").
This is what they're calling degenerate. They're whiny babies panicking because THINGS are CHANGING and CHANGE is SCARY and I'm gonna make it stop by setting things that are different on fire. These are deeply unserious people that need to grow the fuck up.
it's also worth noting that the needle on what constituted "degenerate" art and architecture was always changing, too
just when you think fascists only hated then-modern architecture, here's what fascist architect Le Corbusier wanted Paris to look like:
much like "trad" types today, they only liked "traditional" art and architecture when it conformed to their imaginary vision of what the past was
(also can everyone in the notes please remember that there's a difference between "this style is not my thing and I wish not ALL buildings nowadays looked like that, plus companies only build that way because it's cheaper and safely bland" and "this is Degenerate and Destroying Western Civilization?" thanks)

This blog is my adult version of cutting pictures out of magazines and glueing them on to paper
A ceo leaves for a week, very few people notice.
The custodial staff leave for a day, everyone notices.
Sanitation and custodial workers deserve far more money and respect than they generally get.
I don't think people understand the degree to which society is kept alive by the labor of the least well-regarded professions. If sewage technicians and sanitation workers and their expertise and knowledge were to disappear tomorrow, the streets would pile high with bodies in every city. We live in a world where we get to be blessedly ignorant to just how fast, how brutally and how violently cholera can rip through a community. How many babies it can kill. How many elderly bodies it can devour alive. You've never seen what it's like when typhoid takes root.
"Oh but we have modern medicine" if you don't have clean drinking water and a way to dispose of your piss and shit and trash you are going to fucking die. No if or but or maybe, you are dead, and so are half the people you know.

A lot of otherwise intelligent people are scared to criticize chatGPT because they think there is an observed pattern in history where new technology is always either good or inevitable, and people who are skeptical of new technology always look like fools, and they are scared to look foolish when AI is The New Technology That Revolutionized Everything.
I am not scared of any of that nonsense. The first reason, is that chatGPT isn't a "new technology" at all, both because it is just a scaled-up version of stuff that already existed, and because "technology" implies a thing that does something useful and ChatGPT doesn't appear to do anything useful.
The second reason, is that the people frightened of looking like Luddites assume that because we are all alive, the feared bad outcomes of new technology have never happened, and that is just completely false. New technologies have sometimes had awful impacts upon human quality of life and the environment. Sometimes, unilaterally inferior technologies have replaced superior technologies for economic or other reasons. Almost always new technologies have a mix of positive and negative impacts.
In fact, I think the uncontrolled, rapid growth of generative AI and large language models is happening because of the common belief that "new technology" is always inevitable and good. This is a new technology, therefore "developing" it is inherently leading towards Something. But instead, the amount of resources and environmental and human devastation is simply accelerating and accelerating. The new technology takes everything and gives us nothing.
It is true that some people allege that ChatGPT helps them "do tasks faster" at their job, but this can be explained by the fact that many jobs have tasks that are completely pointless.
For example, I assume it's someone's job to write the text on the back of a bottle of soap informing me that it will "envelop [my] senses in almond and sandalwood bliss and whisk [me] away to a paradise of clean."
Or some shit like that.
ChatGPT is more limited in its capabilities than my brain is. I don't "use" chatGPT because I am better than chatGPT. This is true of anyone with a brain.
I am extremely optimistic about my future personally in a world where everyone is using AI, because I am using the superior technology.
But even if chatgpt were capable of producing outputs "better" than a person's brain (it can't, since its training data is just outputs of human brains, and it is incapable of insight, making it impossible for it to add anything meaningful), I like thinking. I enjoy being a thinking, reasoning, creative being who can express my thoughts, communicate with others, formulate opinions, come up with ideas, and understand information. These things are pleasures and freedoms!
We're being heavily bombed literally every night all night long now cause the whole fucking world supports terrorists and shakes hands with them. I fucking hate it. We don't deserve any of it.
Btw sleep is a basic human right and ruzzian terrorists strip us of it atop of fucking killing is with drones and missiles and bombs
