Hierarch of Constantinople visits Zelensky, OCU, Lavra as state blocks pilgrims from entering monastery
His visit yesterday coincides with new state moves against the Lavra. In March, the Ministry of Culture arbitrarily broke its agreement with the Church for the use of the Lower Lavra, and on Wednesday, a Kiev Court upheld this decision. And now the police…

The amazing golden color of these scarab beetles (Chrysina resplendens) is not a result of pigmentation or actual metal, but ≈70 microscropic chitin layers of decreasing thickness that reflect light to produce a metallic effect.

Will Elon Musk pay for Dr. Simon Goddek’s legal bills if he sues the employer who fired him over speaking the truth about Covid?
Dr. Simon Goddek joins Stew to tell his story about how Twitter banned him for saying vitamin D helps fight Covid and how he lost his job for speaking truth.

"For Putin, the illegal overthrow of Ukraine's democratically elected and pro-Russian president — which he rightly labeled a "coup" — was the final straw."

Western MSM has begun to lose it. Pessimism and dooming is now endemic to their reports. They’ve pretty much accepted that Ukraine has no chance in the counter-offensive. Listen to this CNN report, which perfectly summarizes the current sentiment—they’re…

In just a decade, Telegram gained over 800 million active users purely thanks to word of mouth. Through numerous updates and improvements over the years, Telegram has redefined what a modern messaging experience should be like.
The next step for Telegram is to go beyond messaging and spearhead innovation in social media in general. We should use our popularity to change the lives of billions for better, to inspire and uplift people on our planet.
Today’s gradual roll-out of stories for all users marks the beginning of this new stage in the history of Telegram. While this past decade was exciting, the next 10 years will be the time when Telegram reaches its true potential.

"Scientists at the National University of Defense Technology in Changsha, China, published the results of their research earlier this month in Acta Optica Sinica, a peer-reviewed Chinese journal. They claim to have developed a new cooling system that makes it possible to operate high-energy lasers “indefinitely,” without any effects from overheating."

🇺🇦🌾🇷🇴🇲🇩🇺🇸🇪🇺 Ukraine is trying to extend the grain deal without Russia, through the territory of Romania.
The U.S. Embassy in Bucharest announced a "decisive meeting" on Friday in Galati to find solutions to the "Ukrainian grain crisis". The meeting will be attended by representatives of Romania, Ukraine, the Republic of Moldova, the European Commission and the United States.
They will look for solutions to consolidate and diversify alternative grain export routes by rail, road and sea.
The text of the release of the US Embassy:
After Russia's abrupt exit from the Black Sea Grain Initiative, we highlight the following:
➡️ Despite Russia’s ruthless destruction of Ukraine’s port infrastructure and grain warehouses, we remain committed to ensuring the continued continuity of Ukrainian grain exports to meet global demand.
➡️ a sincere expression of gratitude to Romania for its unwavering efforts to support Ukrainian grain exports.
➡️ Improving Alternative Routes: Working together, we are determined to consolidate and diversify alternative routes for grain exports by rail, road and sea, ensuring Ukraine's key role in the global food market.
ℹ️ Earlier, on August 8, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved the draft law "On the ratification of the intergovernmental agreement on the construction of a bridge across the Dniester", which will become a key element of the Kiev-Chisinau transport corridor.
"Ukrainian exporters will have a convenient route to South-Eastern Europe and will increase the volume of exports of goods," Shmygal said.
According to him, in January-July 2023, Ukraine exported more than 40 million tons of agro-industrial and food industry products , almost 70% of exports for the entire 2022.
🐻 The impoverished westerners 'desperately' need Ukrainian grain, as only 3% of Ukrainian grain goes to the neediest countries...

Excellent take here from Sargon of Akkad (Twitter) he is spot on that this is ideological and moral policing.
The thing that @WestYorksPolice don't yet accept is that they are *wrong*. They will not acknowledge the corruption of their own force's culture because they do not see it as corruption. They do not recognize the abstract moral rot that is divorcing them from the people they are meant to *serve* as being the source of the problem.
They have adopted a faith that tells them that it is possible for them to be the authority and also be the victims of the people whose neck they are standing upon. They have decided that power is invisible so long as they hold to this new faith: the lesbian policewoman was righteous in extirpating the oppression of homophobia wherever it is found, which is why they think she was justified in terrorising a teenage girl.
The lesbian officer was the victim even while she was wearing the badge.
They are not insensible; they can see that the despicable public are in unity against their hallowed lesbian officer. For now, they will see that they have hit some kind of barrier. But they do not think the problem lies with themselves, they think the problem lies with *you*.
You haven't changed their minds, you have only shown yourselves to be outside of the faith. West Yorks Police will show no contrition for what they have done, because they think they were in the *right*. It doesn't matter that they wear the badge and they exercised unjust force on a girl. She was ontologically evil in that moment and deserved her punishment because their moral authority is derived from a higher source, unlike yours, which is derived from good deeds.
Moreover, they will do it again. Only next time, they will work harder on their PR. They will try to ensure they aren't recorded and put onto Twitter. They will have a better excuse. They will learn from this, but not the lesson they ought to take.
They view themselves as the moral superiors of the public and are here to enforce a new transcendent order. There is no room in the world for -ists and -phobias, and that is truly what they want to stamp out. They are on a crusade, and you had better realise this fact sooner rather than later.
And if they have to act as an occupying force over the racist, sexist, homophobic public...then so be it.
