The headline does not convey how completely batshit this story is. The Archive Today (archive.ph etc) admin weaponized the site's captcha to attack a blogger who wrote about them and *altered archived screenshots* as part of the attack.

Nailed it.
OTD in 1921 Soviet invasion of Georgia began. Less than a year before we signed a treaty with them promising we'd never invade.
Lying we won't & then invading anyway is a tradition I maintain to this day.
A photo shows Gisèle Pelicot with the headline: The Woman at the Center of the French Rape Trial That Shocked the World

❗️Zelenskyy: "A great mistake is to allow an aggressor to take anything. I do not want to be the president who repeats the same mistakes."
"This was a great mistake right at the beginning, from 2014. I can even say it was earlier — when they attacked and occupied part of Georgia,

A Norwegian home owner was tricked into installing highly advanced surveillance cameras pointed at Northern Europe's only LNG-plant, Melkøya.

One of the most interesting articles I worked on in 2023!
🚨 The U.S. Treasury has sanctioned the AEZA Group. Listen to my podcast with Active Measures where I discuss Russia's collaboration with cybercriminal groups and their role in influence operations. AEZA is linked to Op. Doppelgänger & Blacksprut, a major dark web marketplace omny.fm/shows/active...
In this week's episode of the Active Measure Newsletter's podcast I was invited to discuss the content of our joint investigation with @dfrlab.bsky.social and @checkfirst.network on the Pravda Network and the consequences of the poisoning of LLMs & the targeting of Wikipedia

Utter genius.
💥🎙️In a leaked audio, Viktor Orbán's defense minister says Hungary's army is being reshaped “to break with the peace mentality and move toward phase zero of the road leading to war.”
It's unlikely he means a war against Russia — he was a business partner of Russia's Transmashholding.

At least 30 Ukrainian journalists remain in Russian captivity as of April, IMI reported, with little known about their health conditions or whereabouts. Multiple reports have revealed that Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) are tortured and killed while in Russian captivity.
EPP calls for sanctions on Ivanishvili, non-recognition of GD parliament, and backing Zurabishvili as the only legitimate representative of the Georgian people. It also calls on the GD to set a specific date for new parliamentary elections.
Ever wondered how many “Pravda” articles go live every hour, where they originate or the paths they take?
With @vchatelet.bsky.social we decided to build the first Pravda Dashboard offering real‑time windows into Russia’s “Portal Kombat” disinformation network

Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) detained a russian spy in Kyiv who was preparing terrorist attacks near defense facilities.
Russia’s push for control over the occupied Abkhazia is evident in reopening the decades-closed Sukhumi Babushara Airport and a test flight from Moscow.

What do #Wikipedia, #LLms, & #X have in common? They’ve all been quietly infiltrated by the Pravda network—a sprawling web of pro-Kremlin sites posing as news outlets. @vchatelet.bsky.social BlueSky explores #PravdaNetwork w/ @checkfirst.network in this week's the Source: bit.ly/3EcgvpZ
If the West — the UK 🇬🇧 in particular — doesn’t act now with targeted sanctions, it’ll be too late to hurt the dictatorship before it cements its rule and fortune.
Time is running out.⌛️
