I almost exclusively used Gemini too...

Answers to me are definitely less perceptive of context than before

@marikamikiashvili.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 3:30 PM

Is it just me, or did Gemini become stupid lately?

Moreover, a Facebook page copied it and there the story and the message has 800+ likes in 4 hours. Everyone's comments are also 97% positive and confirming that they've had the same experience. Demolishing stereotypes one post at a time ❤️ 2/2.

My #GiorgioArmani advocacy is gaining traction ❤️

My Facebook is so inactive and has such a low reach, but this post about how helpful and nice Armenians are (and especially towards Georgians), on the example of my taxi drop-off has 24,000 views in 9 hours and 360 likes.

Moreover,

Reiterating this based on my recent experience. A stranger insisted to pay for my taxi in Yerevan since we were both stranded in the street in the middle of the night, no taxi app accepted our orders, and I had no cash. I've got the number for a brandy of gratitude 🙏🏻

Russia banned the import of several Georgian wine and mineral water companies. They only ever make this decision on political grounds, so I wonder why they would be unhappy with GD. That's the thing with Russians, it's never quite a sufficient level of Russification for them.

96-year old Georgian blogger and former math teacher Lamara Abjandadze's post (the post is in Georgian. I had AI translate it visually). A reminder of how our elderly, who have been through the turbulences of the 20th century, deserve to see freedom they have fought so hard for.

TI Georgia says it identified 93 distinct words and phrases that ComCom, Georgia's media regulator, "prohibited" government-critical broadcasters from using after last year's amendments gave it more control over their coverage.

I guess the Trump Tower didn't help him.

Singer Nutsa Buzaladze stated that she'd sue anyone who defames her, including calling her a Georgian Dream supporter. After having openly celebrated being a Georgian Dream supporter. Wow, Nutsa, if you take being a GD as an insult, then maybe that means something?..

Unsure how true it is but I’ve heard from an Uzbek friend that in Uzbekistan, the word “freedom” is de facto banned. They can only use “independence” and that’s in the national sense. Soon in Georgia.

Human rights violations in Iran, Georgia, and Azerbaijan clustered together.

This must be the "amazing democracy" that oligarch Ivanishvili promised Georgians 15 years ago.

Deeply grateful to @hbrandstaetter.bsky.social for his speech at @europarl.europa.eu yesterday that underlined the Europeanness of Georgians as well as the need to release all political prisoners, including Elene Khoshtaria. I am also relaying gratitude on Khoshtaria's behalf.

@marikamikiashvili.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 1:02 PM

So I am also optimistic – because all bloody regimes fall. All political prisoners, including Elene Khoshtaria, will walk free. Those who served Russia instead of Georgian people should pay a high price for their treason." 2/

"Colleagues, the people of Georgia is nothing like this regime. They are Europeans through and through, like we are, continuously fighting for freedom and for a European future. 1/

The Persecution of Georgian Fighters: A Joint Operation by Ivanishvili’s Government and the Kremlin?👇🏻 (I'll post individual photos separately in the comments).

Yeah, EU, don't you see the Georgian Dream is having its honeymoon?
