Military coup in Myanmar kills over 320 people, and then organizes a military parade to celebrate victory.

Where's the deputy minister of Russia?

Of course, at the military parade in Myanmar, shaking hands with the generals who organised the coup d'etat, while Russian media explains "it wasn't really a coup d'etat"...

Polish church edits its online transmission from Sunday mass to pretend social-isolation is being enforced 😂 Basically, they pasted static photos with empty benches on the left and on the right, while center shows actual video.

For Polish readers: that's bazylika św. Małgorzaty w Nowym Sączu

I read they had a power failure but in any case I agree this is highly suspicious.

And this is the Evergreen ship photographed from International Space Station by cosmonaut Sergey Kud-Sverchkov:

I see these fantastic Huawei E8372 modems are no longer very popular on eBay and just wondering if there's anything better on the market these days?

I need:

* 4G/LTE modem
* with Wi-Fi access point
* and external MIMO antenna sockets (!)

Plenty of E3372 (no Wi-Fi) and E8372 with no antenna connectors sold, but I need specifically to connect a high-gain antenna in the mountains.

That's called nihilism! 😆

I don't know about Biden but Putin is KGB officer, smoke and mirrors are literally his job. Last time anyone asked him a honest question was parliamentary commission when he wasn't president yet, but a suspect in a large scale corruption scandal. He apparently decided this disgrace is never going to happen again.

But you surely realize they are only asking questions agreed with Putin's team and he's got a whole team preparing brilliant answers? It's a show, the only purpose of which is to show he's in control.

I have started Kim Stanley Robinson "Ministry of the future", got to around 40% with mixed feelings — to say it's one sided is to say nothing. I dumped it after a whole chapter praising Vandana Shiva, an actual activist today (the book, fiction novel, happens in 2030's), famous for her anti-scientific stance and inventor of " heritable infertility"...

What then? If we assume all publications of NG and state media are like that, then what sources of information are left?

@dump_stack

We are people, yet we can read media critically. This can be learned.
