It really isn't funny anymore. Our people are getting killed. Every day. On top of trying to defend ourselves, we have to deal with this manchild trying to convince his huge audience that it's alright to let Ukrainians die.

Breaks my heart that this boy had to go through this. He survived the strike in Vinnytsia, which killed his mother. You may remember that strike caused a number of bad fires. He has had 27 surgeries, and lived with a mask for 2 years to aid in healing. He's now taken off the mask.

German President calls Elon Musk a threat to democracy

Some people still believe Elon Musk has a "grand plan" to save humanity. In reality, Musk seems driven by money and power, willing to do almost anything to acquire more of both. He's a political chameleon, shifting his allegiances and rhetoric to suit his ambitions. Once a Democrat like many in Silicon Valley, he pivoted when it became advantageous, aligning with pro-corporate candidates as the political tides shifted. Launching "gigafactories" in authoritarian states like China and Russia (until the war paused his plans) because the work force is cheap? Why not. Using H-1B visas to bring in cheap labor who are 100% dependant on the company from India instead of hiring Americans? Naturally. Launching Starlink as a "humanitarian project" to gain goodwill and start charging for it as soon as the media cycle has moved on? Yes Sir. Buying a social media platform only to turn it into a political weapon against his enemies? Let's go! The South African oligarch spent at least 277 million USD on the US elections, probably expecting to make much more in subsidies and tax cuts later. After this, he started campaigning and possibly funding the most pro-Kremlin parties in the UK and in Germany. By some estimates, he wants to "invest" almost 80 million £ into Nigel Farage's Reform UK. He's a "family man" promoting "family values" whose ex-wives despise and fear him. He then goes and showcases his 4-year-old around the world like a trophy. Elon needs to excel in every aspect of life, even gaming! That's why he had to become the world's top player on Diablo 4, after which he tried the same feat on Paths of Exile until he was banned for cheating. I wouldn't be surprised if he hired other people to perform the tedious tasks and used AI to supercharge his "gaming experience" on both games. It's almost unbelievable how much time Elon finds for gaming, considering that he's also running Tesla, SpaceX and the US government, while spending quality time with his kids, enjoying the K-hole and tweeting sometimes over 100 posts per day. He's so petty that after Joe Biden's Superbowl post did better than his, he made the X engineers change the algorithm so that EVERYONE would have to look at his posts. When people started campaigning against his BS, he simply made these people invisible in the algorithm and flagged them as "spam". TL;DR: Elon Musk is undeniably brilliant at accumulating wealth and influence, but entrusting him with significant global power raises serious concerns.

A terrible terrorist attack was committed by the Russians right on Christmas. In Kryvyi Rig, the Russian army attacked a multi-story building with a ballistic missile. Part of the building was destroyed. There are people under the rubble. One person has already been killed. There is no doubt that this was done intentionally. There were no military facilities near the building

In a modern David versus Goliath, the Pope sides with Goliath and demands that no one provide David with any stones for his sling. A Philistine indeed.

President @Zourabichvili_S held the speech that she was prevented from delivering in front of hundreds of thousands by the regime yesterday by disabling her microphones. She stated that the country has two options: either Ivanishvili and the regime compromise on new elections now before December 29 (the sham inauguration of the new puppet President), or the all-encompassing crisis deepens and the regime collapses; the regime is already on its way of collapsing as it is. According to her, the scenarios for new, free and fair elections are already being drafted, but in case Ivanishvili refuses new elections, there will be a council set up entrusted with the task of working on new elections. The President called on everyone to get ready to persist in case the new elections are refused and the regime collapse gets inevitable. In particular, she expressed hope that there will be sufficient resources to support the media that is struggling now, so that the information space is not captured by the propaganda. The President stated she continues to remain the President and the Commander-in-Chief, and she is unafraid of threats of jailing her. She underlined that the elections were fraudulent, supported by the OSCE/ODIHR final report; the Parliament convened without her authorization and while there was a Constitutional Court case pending on the issue, further making the Parliament illegitimate. The Court did not even consider the President’s and the political parties’ case on the validity of the elections. We have tried to exhaust all available judicial resources first but were rejected everywhere, shedding further light to the dire state of our judiciary. These are the main points of the President who remains serene, confident, and encouraging of her people. #GeorgiaProtests #NewElectionsforGeorgia #terrorinGeorgia

For all Canadians. Yes, it is clear that your team and its players are closer to you (and most people in general) than hundreds of thousands of 🇺🇦 people in the trenches across the ocean, defending their country against an imperialist enemy and dying for it. To better understand, imagine that it is your city of Montreal that is being bombed and you and your children go to basements and bunkers every other day to protect them and yourself. Imagine that almost every one of you had or has someone close to you at the front and that for many of you that person did not return from the front or returned crippled. I am convinced that in such a situation you would not let Russian citizens (players) onto your @NHL ice and would not organize expeditions to St. Petersburg and take pictures there with supporters of the war criminal Putin. Therefore, I ask you, even at a time when nothing like this is happening to you, but people from other country 🇺🇦 are dying by the dozens or hundreds every day, to act correctly and not give aggressive barbaric Russia a huge publicity-advertisement for its terrible crimes. Your current actions are unfortunately costing human lives. Please change it. Dominik Hasek
How sad for an organization with such a hockey history @CanadiensMTL and for the country of Canada. Do you realize that the KHL is a huge supporter of the Russian leadership and a huge advertisement for Russian crimes, which have more than a million victims in 3 years of war? And that SKA coach Rotenberg is a supporter of the biggest criminal of our time, Putin. Do you realize that by doing this you are advertising the Russian imperialist war and crimes and that you will also bear a share of responsibility for the lost and crippled human lives?

75-year old Viktor Chokheli from high mountainous area Gudamaqari, did not know which TV to trust, so he decided to come see for himself what was happening at the crackdowns. He walked 18 kilometers on foot to Pasanauri. He protests ever since. #terrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests
