Who is Schrödinger's putin? A man who can end the war tomorrow, yet also can't

Few medieval figures loom larger in 🇷🇺’s origin story than Yuriy Dolgorukiy, the prince who founded an outpost on the Moskva River from which russian empire arose

But the man moscow claims as a forefather is buried not in 🇷🇺, but in 🇺🇦
Dolgorukiy’s ambition was to rule Kyivan Rus from its true center – let the name be a hint.
He died there as Grand Prince in 1157 and was laid to rest at the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, which Russia struck on June 15, setting a UNESCO World Heritage site ablaze

The barbarism of the attack crystallizes the very contradiction in which Russia's war is rooted. Putin oscillates between insisting Ukraine does not exist and dismissing it as a fabricated state, yet Moscow's own origin story keeps leading back to Kyiv.

Assuming he actually wrote it, Jason Arday’s 2020 book “Cool Britannia and Multi-Ethnic Britain,” further demonstrates his stupefying mediocrity and the state of academic sociology.

🧵 1/
2/ Arday argues that though the 1990s-era United Kingdom is remembered as a time and place of diverse cultural production and racial progress, black Britons view “Cool Britannia” as a period of deep-seated racism.
The UK’s chart-defining influence on pop music and pop culture obfuscated the racist realities faced by Britons of color, or so the story goes.

3/ I’ll return to his argument later, but first we need to look at the book’s format.
Arday’s book is only *THREE* chapters long. Excluding front and back matter, Arday only wrote *79* pages of material. This is unheard of in academic publishing! It’s a waste of time and money to publish a work this short in book format, but Routledge apparently made an exception for Jason “Best in the World” Arday.
Sidenote: The lack of coherent capitalization & stylization across the TOC makes no sense. And the intro’s title is unprofessional and, frankly, stupid.

In Drohobych, the reburial of 26 more victims of political repressions by the NKVD took place, whose remains were exhumed on the territory of the former torture chamber of the Soviet special services - the prison on Stryiska Street.

Almost a century after their tragic death, they received a dignified Christian burial. A funeral procession passed from the Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul to Rynok Square, where a city-wide memorial service was held for the repose of the innocently murdered.

The building at 3 Stryyska Street, where one of the buildings of the Ivan Franko Drohobych State Pedagogical University is located today, was the regional NKVD department and a remand prison in 1939-1941.

It is sad to see Ukraine is again in 2026 where it was in 2023.
Specifically, Ukraine is failing to use available barge alternatives to move grain through Odesa to the wider world markets.

"Soviet Union never intended to conquer Finland in 1939"
It's one of the most common russian claims about the Winter War.
But it raises one question.
Why was everything already prepared long before the first shot was fired?
This short 🧵digs into it.

This short 🧵digs into it.
As we know, months before the invasion, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union signed the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact.
Its secret protocol placed Finland inside the Soviet sphere of influence.
Finland's future had already been decided between Nazis and USSR.

Finland's future had already been decided between Nazis and USSR.
The protocol didn't mention only territorial changes.
It spoke of "territorial and political rearrangements."
They were talking about replacing legitimate governments of independent countries.

Tonight I typed just one sentence into Google Earth and put refugees near the Mexican border. Then I planted a nuclear plant in Iran. What on earth is Google doing? Check my latest post here: digitaldigging.org/p/how-to-plant…
Google Earth on the web now has image generation built in, powered by Nano Banana 2. It went live today, worldwide, for everyone, with no waitlist and no application. (2/5)
You open Google Earth. You zoom to any coordinates on the planet. You click create image. You type what you want to see. Like this fake hospital and bomb crater in Gaza I just made. What?? (3/5)

NEW: DOJ files "notice of compliance" indicating it has turned over all 10 unredacted documents demanded by Judge Emmet Sullivan for his review in Katie Phang's bid to force the release of more unredacted Epstein files. 1/
Judge Sullivan's order directed DOJ to provide "documentation" that the people whose names are redacted as indeed victims or law enforcement personnel; that documentation appears to be solely in the form of DOJ's brief, as signed by Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward. 2/
Of the 10 documents at issue, however, DOJ does not identify the redacted information as pertaining to a victim or law enforcement personnel; instead, it says it is just PII, or personally identifiable information. 3/
1/ Another Wildberries warehouse is on fire, this time in Sarapul, after a Ukrainian drone strike. As the ongoing massacre of Wildberries facilities continues, Russian warbloggers are becoming steadily more irate about air defence failures. ⬇️

WB Penza is also burning.
But this isn't [just] the enemy's doing, but the criminal negligence of local authorities.
The regions' helplessness is mired in bureaucracy and an inability to take responsibility.
