These counterprotestors at the University of Chicago are full of joy. One thing the 1960s got right is the idea that the personal is political. There’s a deep connection between mental depravity, covid hysteria, identity politics, and supporting Hamas. twitter.com/JinxPress/stat…

Yesterday, @sumlenny went to Sloviansk, a Ukrainian city direct at the frontline, to personally deliver 200 of our drones, partly funded by amazing @officejjsmart YouTube community, to the 501st Marine Battalion of the Ukrainian army. Glory to Ukraine!

Gandalv@Microinteracti1·
Iran is throwing Shahed drones at American air defenses the way a toddler throws spaghetti at a wall. Cheap, relentless, and absolutely everywhere. Ukraine has been dealing with exactly this for four and a half years. They’ve shot them down over Kyiv, over Odesa, over fields in the middle of nowhere. They’ve learned, painfully and expensively, how to track them, intercept them, and live with the constant sound of them at night. The US military, with its $900 billion annual budget, its carrier groups, its fifth-generation fighters, apparently looked at all of that accumulated knowledge and decided: not relevant. Now they’re in the Gulf, facing the same drone, from the same supplier, and apparently just as surprised as if the thing had been invented last Tuesday. This is the future of warfare. It costs almost nothing. It doesn’t need a pilot. You don’t mourn it when it gets shot down. And if you send enough of them, some will get through. Every time. Ukraine figured that out before most Western militaries were willing to admit drones were anything more than a novelty. Four and a half years of brutal, real-world testing. Mountains of data. Hard lessons written in blood. The US had a front-row seat to all of it. They just weren’t watching. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

Iran, as it fights the US and Israel, has flooded the skies with its cheap Shahed drones to overwhelm air defences and strike high-value targets. John Reed explains why this unassuming weapon may just be the future of warfare. ft.trib.al/ARp0BXU?

Ukrainian instructors working with Gulf countries were reportedly surprised by how the US and its allies are handling Shahed drones, according to The Times. From their perspective, the approach looks extremely expensive and inefficient. In some cases, up to 8 Patriot missiles - each costing over $3 million - are used to intercept a single drone. In others, SM-6 missiles (~$6 million) are deployed against Shaheds that cost around $70,000. They also pointed out operational issues: radars are often left in the same positions for months and are not properly concealed. In one case, just three Shahed drones were able to destroy an AN/FPS-132 radar worth around $1 billion, along with another air defense radar valued at about $300 million. And that’s not even mentioning incidents where Kuwaiti air defense mistook allied fighter jets for Iranian drones.

The New Statesman@NewStatesman·
THE NEW WORLD WAR by @Will___lloyd As the fourth anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine approached last month, Zelensky inflated his rhetoric. He used the same formulation I had heard countless times from Ukrainians every time I visited. This was not a conflict between Ukraine and Russia any longer, if it had ever been that to begin with. These were, Zelensky told the BBC in February, the first years of the Third World War. In the early weeks of the war, so many British citizens drove vans full of aid to the Polish border that Ben Wallace, then the defence secretary, had to ask with some tact that people send money instead. Clips of born-in-the-USSR Russian incompetence electrified social networks. No war ever seemed to cost so little. It generated a new, brief faith in ourselves, even in Boris Johnson. Our capabilities, our diplomacy, our technology, our sanctions packages, our intelligence services, our rules-based liberal order. We didn’t even have to fight. The Ukrainians would do that for us. Ukraine was a good war, a morally clean war, giving a precious gift to Europe’s leaders: meaning, valour, solemnity, glory. That was not how it looked in Kyiv this winter, where the congealed violence of four years of war had transformed the country into something many in Europe no longer want to think about: a war of extermination fought between two militarised societies barely two days’ drive from Dover. The teams of men coldly eyeing their live feeds in bunkers, busily assassinating each other with drones, then posting the results online. The schools where children learned underground, as if they were surviving a nuclear winter. The old men and women who froze in their apartments and had to be cut out from them once their neighbours realised what had happened. The war had pulled the US and Europe apart, invented a whole new machinery of death, underlined our dependence on brutal petro-states, flooded this corner of Eastern Europe with several generations worth of weapons. A British official told me that Ukraine’s population, which had been estimated at just over 40 million in 2014, had shrunk to something like 20 million by 2025, significantly less than most estimates in the public domain. I came to the war late, first visiting at the end of 2024. I witnessed Europe’s early hope and energy begin to curdle and move elsewhere: to Gaza and Greenland, Venezuela and now Iran. The world was a mess, expensive munitions for advanced air defence platforms were running low and needed everywhere from Kyiv to Tel Aviv to Abu Dhabi; Ukraine was not a front-page story anymore. The same image, the same blood, the same nation. Shrug. A terrible thing was happening somewhere far away. A few days after I returned from Kyiv last month, Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu launched their war on Iran. Turkey, the keystone that sits directly between Ukraine and Iran, may yet be pulled into it. The vengeful Iranian Shaheds, so familiar to Ukrainians after four years of nightly terror, now rained down all over the Gulf. There were rumours that they were being mass-produced in China. Taken aback by the violent efficiency of the Iranian counterattack, Trump was demanding a Western armada enter the Gulf. War was spreading.

@EliResurgence @Shawn_Farash What are you talking about? She’s literally exposing the rivers of money flowing from a shady organization that has disproportionate influence on our politics. And ONCE AGAIN, we see someone who thinks the response to “I like waffles!” is “Oh so you hate pancakes? Racist!”

A long point of view 🛡️ How to Counter Musk’s Algorithm + Pro-Russia Boosting on X (A NAFO-style tactical playbook) 🎯 1. Shift From “Posting” to “Networked Posting” On today’s X, individual posts die fast—but coordinated boosts cut through suppression. How to do it: First step out of ego driven mentality, work together, communicate together focus on a group narrative and focus on a main goal Ukraine Build small groups (Telegram/Discord/WhatsApp). When a fundraiser or key Ukraine post drops → everyone boosts within 90 seconds. Aim for: ❤️+🔁+💬 within the first 5 minutes → this forces the algorithm to test it outside your circle. This early “engagement storm” is the most reliable way to override throttling 🧱 2. Use Comment Trees (NAFO specialty) Right now, comments rank higher than retweets for algorithmic breakout. Tactic: NAFO pack comments under the first post with: memes updates cropped facts direct links Then reply to each other’s comments (3–4 layers deep). This creates a vertical signal tower the algorithm can’t ignore. ❤️‍🔥 3. Attach an Emotional Hook Fundraisers with emotional clarity fight suppression dramatically better. Include in every post: A human name/face Unit or location What happens if we don’t raise it A simple number goal 1 photo or 1 short video Cold data dies. Human stories break through. 📈 4. Reuse Successful Formats Certain formats escape suppression more consistently: “Here’s what we delivered last week → here’s what we need now.” “This saved a soldier’s life. Help us save the next one.” “Before/after” deliveries. Animals, soldiers, kids, Christmas packs → still algorithm-resistant. Don’t reinvent. Remix what works. 🔄 5. Chain Boosting (Very Effective for NAFO) If you notice a Ukraine post is crushed (40–300 impressions), deploy this: 1. Tag 3 mutuals. 2. Ask them to quote-boost with a meme or one-line hook. 3. You quote-boost back their boosts. 4. Repeat the chain for 10 minutes. You create multiple entry points into the feed. This often resurrects a dead post. 🧵 6. Post at “Algorithm Weak Hours” X is easiest to break at low-resistance moments: Best times (EU/NAFO): 06:00–08:00 CET 21:00–00:00 CET Avoid 13:00–17:00 CET unless the content is explosive. 🚀 7. Use “Algorithm Bait” Elements These reliably boost reach even in suppressed accounts: A question (“Would you help this unit?”) A poll A meme as the first image “BREAKING:” (yes, it still works) Short video <8 sec Tagging 1–2 high-engagement allies (never more) 🔥 8. Create “Anchor Accounts” With Clean Timelines Propaganda farms exploit this. We can flip it. Strategy: Run 2 accounts: your main (for fundraisers + opinions) a clean anchor (only deliveries, results, updates) The clean account avoids central algorithmic penalties. Use it to relaunch, quote, and verify your fundraisers. This stabilizes reach long-term. 📢 9. Push Deliveries Harder Than Fundraisers Fundraisers get suppressed. Deliveries don’t. Post results like this: “Yesterday we delivered 12 thermal sets and a generator to 44th Mech. Here’s what we’re raising for now.” Results are the antidote to propaganda. They crush the “Ukraine aid waste” narrative. 🦴 10. And Most Important: NAFO Pack Mentality Russia wins by volume, not truth. We win by community amplification. If each NAFO member boosts 5 Ukraine posts a day → that’s the equivalent of wiping out tens of thousands of bot impressions. It’s not fair. It’s not neutral. But it works. 💙💛 Bottom Line You can’t “fix” Musk’s algorithm — but you can out-organise it. Ukraine’s strongest weapon on X has never been the code. It’s been the community. Create a real community without competition. Work together share together

I can't get over the fact that Dune is about an oppressed people fighting for their homeland, waging a jihad to bring down a hegemonic empire by threatening to cut off the flow of their most precious commodity after the empire had assassinated their religious leader's father.

Get the FUCK out. The White House yanks your golden ticket after your whiny Israel lectures...Holy Sepulchre and Al Aqsa closures, Holy Fire ceremony demands, “no matter what” for priests while Iranian missiles fly...and suddenly you’re “done” with MAGA? “Not my party”? Cry me a fucking river, you performative little bitch. You were never MAGA. Not for one goddamn second. Your “Righteous Infiltrator” schtick was always a sophisticated mask for base pathology: the malignant narcissist posing as philosopher-king, infiltrating not for the cause but for the clout, the access, the dopamine hit of perceived moral superiority. True loyalty is ontological...an existential commitment to America First that transcends personal slights, sectarian caveats, and foreign-policy quibbles. Yours? Pure transactional psychology. The second denial of validation triggered classic narcissistic rage and devaluation. “Time to open eyes”? The only eyes blind here are yours to your own fragile ego structure. MAGA isn’t a fucking book club for delicate “thinkers” who fold under pressure or purity-test the movement on Israel while the Republic burns domestically. It’s a lethal philosophy of unyielding resolve, hardcore realism, and tribal fidelity forged in the fires of real stakes. You mistook it for your personal TED stage, you grifting tourist. This departure isn’t enlightenment; it’s excision...the body politic purging a viral weakness, a psychological parasite that never belonged. Real men of conviction don’t announce their exit like drama queens seeking last gasps of relevance. They endure. They fight. Your venom reveals the fraud...a soul too pathology-ridden for the arena. Fuck off into irrelevance where you belong. MAGA doesn’t mourn fair-weather infiltrators. The door’s that way, snowflake. Don’t let it bruise that delicate psyche on the way out. We were never yours to begin with. 🗡️💀🗡️
Peter B@realpeteyb123

Think the time has come for me to walk away from MAGA and the Republican Party. I’ll share more soon. I’m done.
