Based Radhika with the Karl Marx bust in frame (but I'm sure this is just to rile up the chuds who read this article)

But seriously what does "come under fire" even mean aside from some losers don't like her opinions?

I think last year Rybar was directly given some award for journalism by the Russian government, or something like that. It was around the time that Rybar revealed their identity.

Gotta keep those stibs close to the chest

Thanks!

The link just takes me to the account, is it supposed to link to a particular post? I can't tell if I'm just becoming a boomer or if Elongated Muskrat made Twitter unusable

Hello, I would like to file a complaint about a tweet endorsing genocide by Professor Seth Crosby in your Department of Genetics. I will quote the tweet here in case it is deleted.

Another user wrote, "Israel is engaged in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians." To which Prof. Crosby replied, "It is a much needed cleansing, yes, but not an ethnic one. Israel is not targeting humans."

This message is absolutely inappropriate and dehumanizes Palestinian civilians who are dying in the thousands in Gaza. As Prof. Crosby is a representative of Washington University, this reflects very poorly on the university. It does not help that the professor of GENETICS also supports genocide.

As an American citizen I am ashamed to see this kind of rhetoric. Please consider whether disciplinary action is needed.

Thank you, Concerned American

To be clear, you don't have to be an American citizen to claim it. Just use a VPN in the US.

Just one more sanctions package bro, please, just one more, it'll work this time bro please

Someone else shared a printable pdf downthread, I'll update this comment when I find it

Edit: can't find the original comment so I'll share it again. It's from a Palestine resist telegram channel, also uploaded the pdf so you don't need to install telegram

An unspoken hero here is the fact we're back on mainline Lemmy. The old hexbear fork would've exploded around 800 comments.

I find this historical fact interesting, in St. Petersburg there is a statue "The Bronze Horseman" from the times of Peter the Great. It survived the Siege of Leningrad without damage:

The Bronze Horseman (Russian: Медный всадник, literally "copper horseman") is an equestrian statue of Peter the Great in the Senate Square in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It was opened to the public on 7 (18) August 1782. Commissioned by Catherine the Great, it was created by the French sculptor Étienne Maurice Falconet. ... The statue's pedestal is the Thunder Stone, the largest stone ever moved by humans.

The pedestal was made from a large piece of stone closer to Finland and dragged to St. Petersburg using ball bearings.

[A] rapakivi granite monolith boulder known as the Thunder Stone was found at Lakhta, 6 km (3.7 mi) inland from the Gulf of Finland in 1768. ... A 19th-century legend states that while the Bronze Horseman stands in the middle of Saint Petersburg, enemy forces will not be able to conquer the city. During the 900-day Siege of Leningrad by the invading Germans during the Second World War, the statue was covered with sandbags and a wooden shelter. Thus protected, it survived 900 days of bombing and artillery, virtually untouched.[4] True to the legend, Leningrad was never taken.

That's some massively depraved shit
