There have got to be some VERY unhappy people at the Kurchatov Institute right now. For years they've used their prestige within Russia to assure that Ukraine continues to receive nuclear fuel, & to maintain active engagement with Ukraine in the nuclear energy sector, despite the Kremlin's attitude.

But you see this all the time : Russian media presents a solidly pro-nuclear narrative when it comes to Russian-built plants, and one as solidly anti-nuclear when it comes to all others.

Aczkolwiek:

> W naszym GRU, oficerowie, którzy odpowiadają za rozpoznanie innych krajów, w Centrali, w Mińsku, nie znają języków obcych.

To brzmi jak kompletna bzdura szczerze mówiąc i próba przedstawienia białoruskich służb jako nieudolnych ciamajd... po tym jak skutecznie wjechali na skrzynki połowy KPRM, wykazując całkiem niezłą znajomość polskiego.

Tomorrow there will be a pro-nuclear-energy rally in Augsburg, followed by one at the power plant at Gundremmingen.

I made flyers.

By publishing this nonsense about Westinghouse contract in Ukraine, Russian state media do irreparable harm to its own industry —Rosatom still provides fuel and services to Ukraine.

Ukraine’s state owned nuclear utility Energoatom signed an exclusive a $30 billion dollar agreement with Westinghouse to complete construction of Khmelnitsky.

@kravietz I see you are Polish living in the UK, so you may understand this quite well. A friend of mine who is a dual citizen (USA/France) and now lives in the USA explains to his relatives in France when they are baffled by what they hear in French media that the different states are like EU countries, each with their own culture and laws. There are federal laws that supersede state laws (which is quite different as the EU court and parliament doesn't have nearly as much power), but anything that is not specifically a federal power is left to the states to decide. No one should be experimenting on their prisoners though! But I'm a lot less surprised to hear that this is happening in Arkansas than I would be in Maryland or Massachusetts, because the states that voted for TFG correlate closely with beliefs that COVID isn't real or masks and vaccines don't work. In the northeast, we have high rates of vaccination and we wear masks.

More on the Reading festival cleanup

> ‘I’ve never smelt anything like it’: confessions of a Reading Festival litter-picker

In Nalchik, Russia a disabled activist was sentenced to 2 years suspended sentence for attack on a policeman.

In the original complaint the policemen witnessed the suspect grabbed one of them and tried to suffocate. This caused a bit of confusion when the suspect came to the court and it became evident his disability is... lack of hands.

After initial confusion the court promptly fixed the witness statement to a more doable version, where the suspect hits the policeman with his head.

Oh and this:

> According to McCorvey, friends advised her that she should assert falsely that she had been raped by a group of black men and that she could thereby obtain a legal abortion under Texas's law.

Roe v Wade case specifically isn't the best symbol or example in the human rights debate, as it has been driven by deceit and lies from the very beginning, on both sides. I understand this is how the US precedent law worked, but still.

> McCorvey was no longer claiming her pregnancy was a result of rape, and later acknowledged that she had lied about having been raped, in hope to circumvent a Texas law that banned abortions except when the woman's life is in danger

Inmates don't give up their right to refuse medical treatment, especially unproven, off-label treatment like ivermectin for #COVID19, by virtue of being incarcerated. The men were told they were being given vitamins or steroids, and instead were given ivermectin from the doctor who wrote on his facebook page that he didn't believe in facemasks. The Arkansas Medical Board is investigating the jail physician who prescribed the medication, and the ACLU said that some inmates are prepared to file a lawsuit to stop it from being used at the facility.

Fossil gas is a "transitional" fuel in Energiewende in the same way as dictatorship of the proletariat was a "transitional" stage in the USSR ☝️
