Zelenskyy: "When our strikes reached Yandex data centers, it suddenly became little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. Many people noticed it.
There was less hate, less division, fewer provocations because there were fewer bots. It's pretty clear where those bots were coming from.
If they disappeared when Yandex went offline, this proves once again that Europe is not the source of the problems."
The big problem is that Russia figured out how modern society consumes information a decade ago, but the West hasn't.
There are millions of bots commenting and posting Russian propaganda. There are paid influencers spreading it, with Russian bots supporting their content.
There is a gigantic machine operating to radicalize and influence Western societies, and there is not enough defense in place.
It doesn't just influence elections, it sows discord, engulfs societies in culture wars, radicalizes teenagers, and shapes political decisions when elected officials fail to read the room.
That needs to change. And fast.

OLIVER HOLT: The preening triumphalism of Man City stars at Anfield shows they do not have a scintilla of self-awareness between them. These players stand on the shoulders of cheats - and they know it trib.al/SI47nQ2

Five games, five wins, top of the league. Manchester City, a fortnight after an independent commission found they systematically broke the Premier League's financial rules for nine straight seasons.
So what exactly are we all watching?
Not asking for the season to be scrapped. That's daft, and it punishes nineteen clubs who've done nowt wrong. But I'd like somebody at the Premier League to explain why the table at the top of every sports page is one they already know is wrong.
Because here's where we actually are. The commission has ruled. City lodged their appeal on October 1st. No sanction has been announced. Nobody knows when it will be. Sky are reporting that Premier League clubs themselves don't expect City to even BE in this league next season if the appeal fails.
And in the meantime, the league just carries on. Points are awarded. Positions are published. Clubs are planning January windows around a table that might be fiction.
Think about who that actually hurts. Not City, they're fine, they're top. It's the club that goes down in May by two points and later finds out the table was never real. It's the club that sacks a manager in February over a league position that gets rewritten. It's the staff at a relegated club losing their jobs over a season nobody can stand behind. Real money, real people, decided by a table the league itself can't vouch for.
And the bit that genuinely sticks in the throat. Everton got docked ten points, mid season, reduced to six. Forest got four. Both for single PSR breaches. Both punished DURING the season it mattered, so the table stayed honest.
Eighty charges over nine seasons, plus thirty five for refusing to cooperate with the investigation into it, and somehow that one has to wait.
Carragher's right. Do it this season. Whatever it is, apply it now, to this table, the way it was applied to Everton and Forest. Because every week this drags on, the Premier League is asking us to treat a standings table as real while quietly knowing it might not be.
Due process matters and the appeal has to be heard, I'm not arguing with that. But there's a difference between due process and letting a club sit top of a competition for an entire season while the punishment for breaking that competition's rules sits in a drawer.
The league's credibility isn't damaged by what City did ten years ago. It's damaged by what the league is choosing to do about it now.
Nine seasons. Then three years of charges. Then a verdict. And still, somehow, nothing.
Who's season is this, exactly? 🖤🖤

There has to be a strong case now for Sky and other channels ceasing to broadcast Manchester City games live until their punishment has been decided. Their games are ghost games.

As riders, we stand united against the unnecessary risk our lives are being subjected to.
This week alone, there were multiple incidents of vehicles on race courses. Two riders crashed when they hit a motorbike who was driving the wrong way on the race route. Luckily both escaped with cuts and bruises, it could have been so much worse.
This summer, a life was tragically lost to exactly this kind of failure. We will not stand for this any longer.
Riders race at high speed with little protection, and we depend on the UCI and race organisers to secure the roads. That responsibility is not being met.
We are calling for the UCI and race organisers to take accountability and act. That means a serious, open conversation between riders, race organisers and the UCI resulting in concrete changes to how race routes are secured and managed.
After five minutes, we raced as normal. We did not want to affect the race, only to show what riders can do when we stand as one.
We love this sport. We respect the race organisers.
We want to race hard and put on a show for our fans.
However most importantly we want to come home safe to our loved ones.

We are so thankful, moved and proud of Fin’s fellow cyclists today for making a stand at the Tour of Lombardy. Things need to change and no other family should ever receive the phone call we received on 14th Aug. We sincerely hope the UCI are listening and changes will be made.

For a long time I have heard rumours that you strangle kittens for fun and worship Satan. I have never believed it and still don’t.
Am I doing this right?

If we were all to send Danny Tommo an @RNLI Christmas card simply containing "LOL", it would make a lot of money for a brilliant charity and be hilarious at the same time.
Cards can be purchased here shop.rnli.org/collections/ch…
Please spread the word.
@Evan_Dando & his band were on fire last night. Every song you want to hear, + the new songs from Love Chant that slot in to the set & sound like they’ve been there for years. Evan’s voice somehow gets better as the years pass, it’s more soulful & genuine than ever. Masterclass!
Nick retweeted
The video for “Rake” is out now on our YouTube channel. Evan showed up at Almir’s place with an acoustic guitar, they hit it off right away, and the collaboration just happened naturally.
The song is the lead single from The Lemonheads’ new album, TOWNESVILLE

What did @ethan_hayter do to @lavuelta to get screwed over by them on a daily basis?

I’ve done a 10 Miler Run, from Tankerton, to Herne Bay, and back, and then I’ve done a 5k run, with @Begin2Run, so that’s like a Half Marathon Run, in total.
