Ukraine is intercepting up to 85% of Russia’s jet-powered drones on some days, up from around 40% in July, Air Force spokesman Yurii Ihnat says. Russia is now launching roughly 100 of the jet drones across day and night attacks, alongside conventional Shaheds. #Ukraine

Zelensky: "When our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations. Because there were fewer bots. It’s pretty clear where those bots were."

1/ Restoring Yandex's damaged data centres will take at least six months and cost billions. Disruption is already severe; Russian manufacturers and distributors face imminent disaster due to Ukraine's strikes causing the collapse of the state-operated goods tracking system. ⬇️

Not only is Paxton corrupt, cheating on his wife, etc, the *Wall St. Journal* is scooping that Paxton was hanging in Dubai with fugitives from US justice, who gave him $$$.

Seems like the people of Texas will be able to appreciate this

Right-wing online influencers: We can't prove Talarico *didn't* go to a rehab in Ohio NYT: We can, we saw video proof WSJ: Speaking of, we saw video of Paxton partying at the Burj Khalifa with his girlfriend and two men under federal indictment for fraud, one of whom donated to Paxton's campaign

Scoop: Lesley Stahl's "60 Minutes" piece on the extremist Israeli settlers in the West Bank spurred HEATED clashes behind the scenes at CBS News, with Bari Weiss "very, very hands-on."

Stahl grew so frustrated, she floated quitting.

I guess there was another reason that Trump found Roy Cohn to be such an important “model”

Trump voters are driving the trend. Around 17% of those who live within 2km of a data centre now say they'll support Democrats in November, compared with around 6% elsewhere

Scatter chart showing Democratic voting intention among Americans who voted for Donald Trump in 2024, by distance from the nearest data centre, between January 2025 and October 2026. The share intending to vote Democratic is highest among those living closest to a data centre, at around 17% within 2km. It falls sharply with distance, to around 9% at 5km, 6% at 15km and 4% at 40km, before levelling off. Each circle represents a distance band, with its size indicating the number of respondents. The horizontal axis uses a logarithmic scale.

Unfortunately, the article omits the Arab expulsion of 900,000 Jews after the establishment of Israel, beginning in 1948, almost all of whom emigrated to Israel, having no other choice. Regrettably, Wiki calls it an “exodus” rather than the expulsion it was.

This is an excellent & almost comprehensive account of the meaning of Zionism & the history of Israel. See my comment for the most notable omission.

Going forward, I will not engage in discussions/arguments about Israel /Palestine w/ anyone who has not read this

Q: Russia already violated the ceasefire and attacked Ukraine last night. TRUMP: Well I'm not sure about that. But all I know is that Zelenskyy and Putin have to get together and end that ridiculous war.

Q: You said Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire, but both sides said they have not agreed to that TRUMP: Well they agreed, you know why? Because I said 'you agree.' That's why.

Huh. Apparently Katie Miller deleted this tweet that I had the foresight to screencap. Turns out I can TOO make things go viral on Xitter, even.

My RT of a Katie Miller tweet which RTed the NYPost coverage of the Ilhan Omar raid. 

She said: Promise made, promise kept.
I said: Katie Miller is not going to do very well in a deposition.
