"Russian military propaganda PC game Squad 22: ZOV was released on Steam.

Friends, if you have Steam accounts, please consider contacting them and asking to remove the game.
The game presents real military campaigns from the point of view of Russian propaganda,
The developer states that the "tactical action real-time game" was designed "with insights from Russian veterans and active soldiers" and is "officially recommended by the Russian defense ministry as a training aid for cadets and Young Army members."
It is unknown what moderation checks were taken by Steam ahead of Squad 22: ZOV's release, but as of now, it's available on the service."

@MishaVanMollusq

Look, I've had accounts accuse me of cherry picking what I copy and paste from an article but there is a character limit, and she posted the link, so please stop jumping to conclusions, implying Laffy is ignoring the issues of LGBTQ, and please stop post policing.
Maybe you are unaware her sons are gay and she loves them more than anything.
SMH!

@GottaLaff

@GottaLaff you're welcome.
Some people do not think before they post and throw out accusations! @MishaVanMollusq

Well that has to be the most ironic and rewarding hacker job I have heard about in a long time.

@amiserabilist
Astonishing video!! The power in that bird to escape the water and start flying while carrying a fish at least it's own weight is amazing.

Thank you for sharing you awesome video.

@amiserabilist The sci-fi version of an eagle escaping water. Well done. 😅

@amiserabilist 😮 Was the video of the back flips real? If so, yeah that is an excellent example of why women live longer than men!
Ha, I think they should leave the flips for sci-fi cartwheeling computers. (good movie btw...)

@amiserabilist Indeed people are capable of amazing things, it's a shame we don't use that brainpower and adaptability to improve the world instead of offering breads and circuses.
Sorry, in bit of a melancholy mood today, ***however*** when I think of the eagle video that lifts my spirits, so for that thanks again. : )

🇨🇦 Trump's Golden Dome Dream Crashes and Burns
"Defence minister tells arms makers to prepare for accelerated federal spending
David McGuinty says government to launch 'immediate and decisive action to rebuild Canada's defence capacity'
The speech comes against the backdrop of U.S. President Donald Trump's talk of annexing Canada and one day after the government's throne speech, which promised the county would sign on to a $1.25-trillion European Union defence-industrial initiative — known as ReArm Europe."

Greenbelt, mandate letter emails unearthed on Ford government staffers’ personal accounts

“I think it is absolutely a deliberate pattern where this government is trying to hide from the law,” Stiles said. “We have an RCMP criminal investigation underway, I am sure we will see something come from that eventually. But in the meantime, Ontarians have a right to know exactly what happened here.”

Elsewhere, Ford’s chief of staff lost months’ worth of government-related texts on his personal phone and has used his Gmail account to plan government policy.

“These are the very top political staff inside the premier’s office,” Stiles said. “There’s no way the premier didn’t know what was going on.”

🇺🇸 🇨🇦 On this day in 2020 George Floyd was murdered so I want to share a thought with everyone about the next time you hear of a Black person arrested or abused, or killed by police, and you think to yourself,
"They must have done something to deserve it". Read this please👇

"Richard Nixon’s domestic policy advisor John Ehrlichman revealed in a 1994 interview that the “War on Drugs” had begun as a racially motivated crusade to criminalize Blacks and the anti-war left."
“We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or blacks, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin and then criminalizing them both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night in the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did,” Ehrlichman said."

Wake up white America--you've been brainwashed and manipulated!

CC @Jaden3 Thank you for reminding us about George Floyd💔

China Called Trump’s Bluff

"There is a lesson here for anyone Trump threatens.

Trump is performing a character, the presidential version of the boss he played in The Apprentice, sitting in a plush leather chair doling out justice to quavering supplicants.

Although Trump instructs his targets to submit, doing so merely sets them up for more humiliation and abuse.

Similarly, after Canadians elected Mark Carney as prime minister and he insisted that his country could never be purchased or taken, Trump responded with a friendly Oval Office meeting in which he seemed to accept Carney’s refusal.

Trump is a classic bully who craves submission and fears conflict. His fervent supporters want him to be Michael Corleone, but he’s more like Biff Tannen. Standing up to Trump does not mean that you win. But giving in guarantees that you lose."
