Thanks @christopherjm.ft.com for being this week's guest speaker for the @interpolaber.bsky.social first year module Behind the Headlines and sharing your insights into reporting from #Ukraine for @financialtimes.com and answering questions from the students. 👏👏👏

Since the destruction of the Russian data centres there have been NO romance scammers invading my DMs. I usually get two or three a day. Is that how Russia finances its shitty work?

Did the Peasants' Revolt have anything to do with any nation of the UK except England? This article uses 'the nation' and 'British' as synonym for 'English' throughout. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/oc...

Renate Seifert und Lutz Rackow wuchsen in den militärisch aufgebauten Organisationen der Nazis auf. Er hofft heute, dass der Krieg nicht zurückkehrt, sie engagiert sich bei den »Omas gegen Rechts«.

This is an absolutely key point that so many on the winning side of the referendum seem happy to handwave away. If Russia influenced the result *at all* that matters hugely. If we don't all accept that as a principle we're in a dangerous place.

A quick reminder that all the deranged right-wing conspiracy theories about James Talarico are to distract from the fact that their candidate, Ken Paxton, is too much of a coward to agree to a debate.

I staffed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for 12 years, shepherding the confirmations of 100+ ambassadors nominated by three presidents of both parties. ♦️Under prior presidents, any ambassador conducting Guilfoyle-level bribe-solicitation would have been fired immediately.

It's this kind of behaviour from Russia that means we could soon find ourselves in a unpredictable escalation.

What a weird world we live in - Ukraine hits a data centre deep in Russia - Irish twitter users see racist posts about IPAS centres in Offaly fall off a cliff

And now the best part: Bot traffic from the #Yandex network has plunged to near zero following the strike on its Vladimir data center. Bot traffic includes automated requests from search crawlers, scrapers and other online services. Twitter must be a ghost town by now.
