I don't know if the image is real, but I was talking about Russian bot activity. I don't have much reason to doubt the strikes against the Yandex data centers though, regardless of whether the image is real or not.

The attack does seem to be legit. Good. Fuck data centers, every one shut down is a win for humanity.

Yeah, I knew the picture was AI generated; it's a viral image in relation to the Ukraniian strikes, but the attacks are real. They hit three Yandex sites, and it is impacting the presence of Russian bots on social media. Zelenskyy is really trying to hit Russia hard in terms of their economy and ability to propagate  by attacking their energy and information infrastructure. That may end up hurting Russia more than anything else Ukraine could do, as it has apparently caught Russia completely off-guard. Russia is likewise attacking data centers in Kyiv.

Iran is now also threatening to take out US data centers and internet infrastructure

A top Iranian general has warned Trump of an unprecedented threat to destroy $2 trillion worth of US targets in and around the UAE, dramatically escalating tensions ahead of the critical US midterm elections. General Mohsen Rezaei hinted at specifically targeting undersea cables and American data centres if war breaks out. Meanwhile, in another major setback for Trump, Barack Obama has just endorsed the Democratic Senate nominee, Abdul El-Sayed, for next month's high-stakes midterm polls.

Popping the AI bubble next to the oil crisis. Modern warfare. Well not really, except nowadays the entire world gets dragged along in the economic fallout, just as Ukraine and Russia going after each other's refineries has skyrocketed Diesel prices. (next to the Houthis and Saudi Arabia)

Lmao this has to be some kind of record.

Katie Zacharia doesn't last one week as Press Secretary.

A clown show from top to bottom.

Shortest-serving US press secretary ever. Even an acting press secretary (Stephen Early) made it 14 days in 1950. 

Even Anthony Scaramucci was the White House communications director for 10 days in July 2017. "The Mooch" lasted longer than Zacharia even though they had different jobs. He doesn't like Trump and has said harsh words against him.

Now let's see if Katie turns on Trump. 

In US adjacent news that’s sure to result in Happy Meal toys flying across Air Force One’s dining area, Lula defeated Flavio Bolsonaro.

I get that Lula is a deeply flawed politician, but it sounds like Brazil didn’t want a Trumpist puppet.

Serbia also voted out Vucic, a Putin-backed puppet, after two years of student protests triggered a snap election.

Not that Obama has clean hands by far, but great speech!

Cast my ballot today. Let's put an end to this shameful era. 

I cast my ballot in Arizona on Tuesday. Neither of my senators are up for re-election this year, but I want to keep the governorship, AG, and SoS in Democratic hands rather than hand them over to J6 seditionists and election-deniers. We also have the opportunity to flip at least two House seats.
