Much like Christmas, it always feels as if the autumn colours will never arrive...

...but just like that they're gone and it doesn't feel like there was enough time to enjoy them🥹

Sluta härma fascister

"Trots alla experters varningar om att kriminella bara kommer rekrytera yngre och yngre, och att risken är att de som fängslas i stället hamnar djupare i kriminalitet, fortsätter både regering och socialdemokrater att komma med förslag.

Nu senast föreslog Magdalena Andersson fotboja på barn mellan 6–12 år. De behöver inte ens ha begått något brott, de ska vara i ”riskzonen”."

Imprecare sui social: lo studio sulla "parolacce" aiuta ad individuare bot e disinformazione

> Uno studio dell'Università della Finlandia Orientale rivela che gli americani imprecano di più sui social, mentre gli australiani sono più creativi con le parolacce.

Sieht so aus, als ob die USA den venezuelanischen Öltanker nicht nur beschlagnahmt haben, sondern auch entführen.

It seems that the USA not only seized that venezuelan tanker but also kidnap it.

Moscow’s crisis management in response to Zelensky’s presence in #Kupiansk on December 12 is as predictable as it is disappointing, even by their average standards.

Two or three days of complete silence is standard practice in the event of unexpected failures—they acted the same way after #Chernobyl in 1986 and the #Kursk offensive in 2024. Even #Russia bots were silent because they had no “methodologies”, as they call it (the official narrative to spread).

Coming out now with the narrative that this is “fake news from 2022” is so pathetic that it clearly shows the scale of surprise in Moscow.

Some heads will probably quietly roll in the military structures because #Putin has made himself look ridiculous. And no, it wasn’t the generals who made him look ridiculous, he did it himself because he appointed them himself, building a system in which only what he wants to hear is passed on to the top. And I’m quite certain he himself knew the town was “not quite” controlled, but he needed a “card” for Trump.

Notably, Russian military channels have been discussing this topic straight away since December 12, without much embarrassment, because they themselves are well aware of the practice of “liberation on credit” and are critical of it. And now the burden of reversing reality to fit Putin’s words will fall on them, at absolutely any cost.

The first is from the channel “Vojenny osvedomitel” from December 12, immediately after the publication of Zelensky’s video. The author has no doubts about the authenticity of the recording — and it is clear that he made some effort to verify it, as he compares the appearance of the sign with the name of the city to last year’s visit and also notes the presence of drone nets. These are obvious things for anyone familiar with the reality on the ground – and journalists who have been there many times were among the first to write about it, posting photos from a few months ago, where Kupiansk already looks like it does in Zelensky’s video, and certainly not like it did in 2022. The reactions of Russian readers of the channel (anger) are also characteristic.

On December 12, Alexei Milchakov from “Rusich” posted several posts in a mocking tone, brazenly quoting recordings from Gerasimov, Putin, and Kuzovlev from November, talking about the “complete liberation of Kupiansk.” Milchakov directly calls them “fairy tales” and maliciously asks whether Zelensky is currently in captivity due to a flagrant violation of the Russian Federation’s state border.

This is just a small sample, because practically all military channels wrote about Kupiansk in this tone as early as December 12. They complained about “liberating cities on credit,” about the widespread practice of commanders lying in their reports “to the top”… and that was pretty much the end of the topic.

Meanwhile, Moscow remained silent for two days. And only yesterday did it launch its “anticrisis” campaign, spouting nonsense about “fakes from 2022,” which mainly shows how much the Russian command has no idea how to get out of this mess. This type of narrative is desperate, because it is intended for the lowest level of audience, the “bottom feeders.”

Loan documents show two Paraguayan banks loaned tens of millions of dollars to firms owned by Ulisses Rodrigues Teixeira, a Brazilian agribusinessman who admitted to environmental crimes in eastern Paraguay in a 2022 plea deal.

Hmmm.... another sign that investors are becoming worried that the AI bubble may be about to burst.

Since September the use of Credit Default Swaps (used as a form of insurance against default of debt obligations) related to key US tech corporations' debt have risen by around 90%.

The use of CDS for Oracle debt has been particularly pronounced alongside CoreWeave both who have raised billions for data centre investment.

A rush for the exit looks ever more likely?

NATALE
di Giuseppe Ungaretti

Non ho voglia
di tuffarmi
in un gomitolo
di strade.

Ho tanta
stanchezza
sulle spalle.

Lasciatemi così
come una
cosa
posata
in un
angolo
e dimenticata.

Qui
non si sente
altro
che il caldo buono.

Sto
con le quattro
capriole
di fumo
del focolare.
