U.S. officials said a Reaper drone followed a car for hours and then fired based on evidence it was carrying explosives. But in-depth video analysis and interviews at the site cast doubt on that account. 🇦🇫

🇵🇱 Czarnek, jako minister k..wa edukacji, mówiący następujące słowa 🤦♂️
> to jest znów klęska, tych którzy chcieli do nas dotrzeć ze swoim światopoglądem naukowym
On mówi o marksizmie, który miał pretensje do bycia "naukowym" ale faktycznie stanowił zaprzeczenie metody naukowej pod każdym względem i faktycznie stał się ruchem quasi-religijnym. Co Czarnek z kolei wychwala...

To those complaining about vaccine mandates:
It isn’t mandating the vaccine by force. It's still your decision. If you're not vaccinated, you just need to get weekly testing. Sounds pretty common sense. Get a nose wipe a few times a week to make sure you won’t be killing others including your family. Of course, it's easier and safer to just get the shot.
This is how we keep schools, colleges and businesses open, folks. Get vaccinated. Wear masks where people can't be vaccinated. The schools and businesses shutting down are the ones that aren't doing it.
If you still don't want it, you still have an option. That option is to stay home and not work anywhere that's mandating a safe, effective vaccine that saves lives, including your own.
You don’t have to get a vaccine. You have your "freedom" to lose your job and your ability to go anywhere and see how much you make looking at QAnon accounts on the internet all day. #GetVaccinated
Two ignorants - Saker and Giuliani - are talking on BBC about US invasion in Iraq and Afghanistan. Saker:
> what do you say about the hundreds of thousands civilians killed by the invasion?
Giuliani:
> well I'm sure that is significantly exaggerated
However, both of them are wrong. Vast majority of the civilian casualties in Iraq were killed by militias formed by former Saddam Hussein's army (red below), and various islamist groups.
🇵🇱Latem ubiegłego roku fundacja Grzegorza Brauna opublikowała książkę "Fałszywa pandemia".
Główne jej przesłanie sprowadza się do "już po epidemii". Jest tam dużo bzdur i wyśmiewania "paniki".

Three Becomes Latest UK Mobile Operator to Bring Back EU Roaming Charges - https://www.macrumors.com/2021/09/09/three-brings-back-eu-roaming-charges/ well done, @ThreeUK, my main reason for sticking with you has gone. I will probably switch to a rival now...
Polish border force 🇵🇱 published a video where military vehicles on the Belarussian 🇧🇾 side of the border bring groups of migrants and instruct them to go in specific directions.

How one foil-wrapped home survived the Caldor Fire as everything around it burned
Actually, film director Alexander Melnik who died along with Zinichev, made a pretty good adventure/crime film which I saw a few years ago - "Territoriya" (2015) about team of geologists surveying gold reserves in Siberia.
Then, on Twitter, Kevin Rothrock (Meduza) joins blaming Simonyan... but he forgot that literally every media outlet, including Meduza, uncritically quoted her on this, because you know - clicks, engagements! can't wait!
"The Online Media will sell us the Views with which we will hang them" (V. I. Lenin)
Kashin discusses the context of the death of Russian Emergency Minister Zinichev. He also points out that the "heroic" version of his deaths (the second one) was probably invented by Margarita Simonyan, known liar and bootlicker.

@kravietz Unfortunately, the reality that industrial scale energy generation is always going to have some negative effect on the planet isn't understood by most people, so it's relatively easy to manipulate them into hating sustainable energy sources with less impact over decades and centuries. Hydroelectric is my favorite example of this, where it's been producing power for over 100 years in some areas but it's been so demonized nobody wants to touch it.
Unfortunately, a bunch of snake-oil salesmen are trying to sell us the idea of environmentalism instead of providing solutions to the power needs around the world and a bunch of us are buying it because a fantasy of magic boxes that can defy the laws of thermodynamics on a macro scale will always be more attractive than the reality that you're always choosing between a bunch of bad options.
