Mastodon needs a broadcast mode that lets you restrict replies. Like “here is some information, I’m not asking for your opinion on it.”

This worries me: Saturday at 14:53 local time, US airforce aircraft WC-135 Constant Phoenix arrived on Crete, Greece.

Why this worries me: WC-135 is the United States' nuclear radiation monitoring airplane.

For weeks Ukraine has warned, Russia has made preparations for blowing up the The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant by placing explosives at multiple on-site locations. An incident could contaminate both Ukraine and surrounding countries.

This world is not safe, until Putin is stopped.

KevinLikesMaps,

@wjmaggos @randahl Ukraine also (correctly) warned that the dam would be blown up.

TIL Brooke can speak enough Russian to identify homophobic slurs when the people behind us in line start muttering about us 😒🤬

KevinLikesMaps,

@inherentlee where are you that people are speaking russian?

KevinLikesMaps,

@inherentlee Dang. I've picked up a lot of swears and slurs from reading Telegram. Next time, hit them with

закрий пиздак, шмат лайна (shut the fuck up, piece of shit)
иди нахуй, піздець (fuck off, asshole)

I wasn't aware that @FAIR was repeating Kremlin talking points but now you know. This is from last year and every paragraph has misinformation or blatant lies. https://fair.org/home/calling-russias-attack-unprovoked-lets-us-off-the-hook/

I just saw on the smart display in my kitchen that the AQI is up to 152 in

KevinLikesMaps,

@joe well that explains why I feel like garbage! I would have thought the rain would tamp some of it down.

KevinLikesMaps,

@joe uh yeah, it's really really bad for you. I have a large air purifier.

Good morning to readers: Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands, and Moscow, well, Moscow remains in Russia. For you today, a Wagner mercenary weighs in on recent events.

KevinLikesMaps,

@timkmak I thought it was oddly quiet last night (I’m in the US but follow a lot of telegram channels.) I didn’t know if part of that was just being Saturday. I was surprised at the relative silence in Kyiv. Zelenskyy’s video about the chevrons this morning was so totally unrelated and obviously prerecorded. I guess we’ll find out in the nightly speech what the mood is.

The nice thing about associating with Ukrainian leftists is you never see the communist tankie bullshit you see with Americans

What did this have to do with us? How is this our responsibility? Couldn’t that $1.5M in fake US silly bucks have gone to making cheap insulin? https://abcnews.go.com/International/live-updates/missing-titanic-tourist-submersible/us-taxpayer-cost-for-search-and-rescue-may-be-15-million-expert-says-100357743?id=100224153

KevinLikesMaps,

@ryanhoulihan @sara This is not logical at all. It's not an issue of who has money. US Coast Guard rescues hundreds of poor desperate migrants every year. That probably costs a lot of money that could go to other things, but I think it's good when we choose to try to save lives.

KevinLikesMaps,

@benjaminwittes thank you for your service, sir.

what a wild fucking 24 hours it has been

KevinLikesMaps,

@ekknappenberger More concerned about how it affects Ukraine, I'm not watching this like a movie. I don't mean that in a judgmental sense, just being straightforward.

KevinLikesMaps,

@ekknappenberger yeah me too. I was paying attention to Ukrainian commentators and not western, and they are pretty underwhelmed. I think Ze knows more though given the intensity of his speech.

I AM AWAKE LET’S CATCH UP ON THE NEWS

KevinLikesMaps,

@mariyadelano I take my cues from Ukrainians and their news and other channels have kind of moved on.

KevinLikesMaps, to random

I'm waiting for more Ukrainians to wake up so I know if I'm being overly optimistic or not. I don't trust anyone other than those it directly affects.

I hope the Ukrainians have sufficient popcorn reserves to get them through this.

☢️ ‼️ ⚛️ Important! Zelensky's (subtitled) warning about a potential terrorist attack at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine. His tweet: https://twitter.com/zelenskyyua/status/1671805650106474497

KevinLikesMaps,

Transcript of the video in previous post:
Dear Ukrainians!

And all the people of the world.

All of them - I emphasize this.

We have just had a report from our intelligence and the Security Service of Ukraine. Two points. The Russian terrorist attack at the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant that took place. And another terrorist attack, which, unfortunately, is being prepared by the Russian occupiers, at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

Regarding Kakhovka. Ukrainian intelligence and the Security Service of Ukraine have gathered new evidence of how Russian terrorists blew up the dam and other structures of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant. It was an absolutely deliberate, premeditated crime. In the occupied territory, at a plant that was under the full control of the occupiers. And, importantly, last year we warned the world that Russia was preparing such a terrorist attack.

We warned them when we received the first confirmed information about the mining of the hydroelectric power plant.

Now concerning the Zaporizhzhia NPP. I remind those who have forgotten: this is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe. Everyone in the world - the IAEA, all countries, all leaders - knows exactly what is happening there.

Russia uses the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant as an element in its aggression. It occupies the plant. It uses it to cover the shelling of neighboring cities. It keeps weapons and troops there.

Now our intelligence has received information that Russia is considering a scenario of a terrorist attack at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. A terrorist attack with radiation leakage. They have prepared everything for this.

Unfortunately, I have repeatedly had to remind that radiation has no state borders. And who it will hit is determined only by the wind direction…

We share all available information with our partners – everyone in the world. All the evidence. Europe, America, China, Brazil, India, the Arab world, Africa – all countries, absolutely everyone should know this. International organizations. Absolutely everyone.

There should never be any terrorist attacks on nuclear power plants anywhere. This time it should not be like with Kakhovka – the world has been warned, so the world can and must act.

Glory to Ukraine!

@Radical_EgoCom Was there not a rescue operation?

FYI as far as I know, hashtags in your bio don't make it possible for people to find you. It just makes it harder to read. Use hashtags in your introductory post instead. Correct me if I'm wrong.

KevinLikesMaps,

@inherentlee Could be! If I search for a hashtag, I just get posts, not bios.
