Well, I am here and have been for a while. I mean in the physical space I inhabit. And on Mastodon albeit on a different instance.

I have been known to practice the use of dry humour and irony. Making sharp contrasts and pointing out uncomfortable similarities can appear in my discussions with others.

Pro-European, left of centre in a society that is still intrinsically opposed to both.

Ukrainian Flamingo missiles struck the VNIIR Progress plant in Cheboksary for the second time in a week, 1,400 km from Ukraine

The factory makes Kometa CRPA antennas that keep Russian Shaheds, KABs, Iskanders, and Orlans accurate in electronic warfare conditions https://euromaidanpress.com/2026/06/11/strip-out-this-one-component-and-russias-drones-fly-blind-ukraine-found-factory-where-it-is-made/

Four years ago today, three Ukrainian fighters from the SIGNUM battalion carried out the world's first FPV drone combat strike

The radio call to identify the target was "Fourth house. Blue doors." That moment opened a new category of warfare worldwide https://euromaidanpress.com/2026/06/11/fourth-house-blue-doors-four-years-ago-three-ukrainians-changed-global-warfare-forever/

Four years ago Ukraine's SIGNUM battalion fired the world's first FPV combat strike — SBS has since hit $40 billion in Russian targets.

working theory: we get fewer vulnerability reports late in the weeks as the researchers have all run out of tokens by now...

‘The 2026 Democracy Perception Index asked 23,968 respondents in 84 countries which nation they consider to be “the biggest threat to the world”.

Most people in 65 out of the 84 countries said the United States is the largest danger.

- Another 10 countries (almost all in Europe) said Russia is the biggest threat.
- Seven (in West Asia and North Africa) said Israel.
- Israel said Iran.
- Japan said China.’

I hate living in interesting times.

I live in a midsize English town. I like it here and feel nothing but safe.

It's crazy to think that all it'll take for that to change is for some other brown skinned person here to do something criminal and for Elon Musk to tweet about it, and my life could be in danger.

⚖️ Vi klager inn Schibsteds samtykkeløsning til Forbrukertilsynet. Vi mener Schibsted gjør det ulovlig vanskelig å si opp og benytter manipulerende design for å påvirke brukernes valg. Etter vår mening er dette også en ulovlig endring av eksisterende abonnementsavtaler. https://www.nrk.no/artikkel/ville-seia-opp-abonnementet-sitt-vart-bedd-om-a-betala-eller-godta-sporing-349

Ville seia opp abonnementet sitt – vart bedd om å betala eller godta sporing

Schibsted har innført en ny annonse-modell som gjør at man må betale for å unngå at personopplysninger blir brukt til å tilpasse reklame. Hvis man prøver å si opp abonnementet sitt, er det vanskelig å gjøre det uten å enten godta persontilpasset reklame eller betale for å slippe det. Forbrukerrådet mener det kan være ulovlig og vil klage saken inn til Forbrukertilsynet.

"I was horrified to hear the BBC describe what happened in Belfast as anti-immigration campaigners.

“Those were racist rioters. If you're burning the houses down of people who are not white, you are a racist rioter, you're a criminal, you are a scumbag.

“The BBC should not be legitimizing these people by calling them anti-immigration campaigners.

“That gives a veneer of legitimacy to thugs and criminals.”

The last time I used twitter was in Oct 2022.

#Musk had completed his purchase of the platform and I realised it wasn’t a place I wished to be anymore…

It no longer served the purpose that it had done for me - a place where those intent upon #ClimateAction could meet and share information in a positive and constructive manner.

I was curious about this thing called ‘Mastodon’…so I joined and I have zero regrets.

The conversations, information & support here have been invaluable. Thank you!
