It lasted less than a day. Many were individuals who had been in prison or had problems with alcohol and drugs. They were transported by a group of people who crossed the border from Russia on buses and urged them to occupy the building. Once they were inside, they turned towards Russia. There was Motorola [Arsen Pavlov, a Russian paramilitary leader who would later intervene in the war in Donbas]. Our investigation led us to talk to detainees, analyze the documents they had left when they retreated, and visit the places where they had stayed. The conclusion was indisputable, and my thesis is that the preparation for the occupation of Donbas did not begin in 2014, after the Maidan uprising [the popular uprising that led to the fleeing of pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych], but much earlier, perhaps after the Russian invasion of Georgia in 2008. Close to a hundred Russians crossed the border dressed as civilians, as if they were tourists. They had no weapons. They went straight to Villa María. That is where they had left the uniforms and weapons with which they appeared on the streets of Sloviansk. The church employees were involved in the preparation, including a priest, who later became one of the leaders of the armed groups. #GuerraEnUcrania #Rusia #Donbás (translated)

Roberto Vannacci said not to worry about death threats and claimed that there were those who wanted him dead.

"The global economy is caught between a negative energy supply shock and a positive demand impact linked to artificial intelligence. The combined impact of these two forces is very uneven," Georgieva summarized. "To harness the transformational power of AI, it is crucial that access to it becomes widespread around the world. In a world as interconnected as ours, countries collaborate not out of charity but out of their own interest," Georgieva emphasized. "We have gone through a series of shocks: the COVID pandemic, the war in Ukraine, the inflation shock, a brutal rise in interest rates, and now, the energy shock. Each time, governments have come to the aid of households and businesses by resorting to credit and deepening the deficit," Georgieva recalled. #InteligenciaArtificial #FMI #CooperaciónInternacional (translated)

Federico Albano wrote that Max Verstappen had not received penalties. According to reports from the stewards, the driver had completely lifted his foot off the accelerator and was already 70 km/h slower compared to a flying lap. Albano added that Lewis Hamilton was braking and that, to avoid surpassing Verstappen, he would have had to brake sharply, creating an even more dangerous situation. Albano stated that he believed the decision was logically correct, but he did not recall similar cases and still had some doubts. He finally observed that Verstappen would start from pole the following day and that, in his opinion, he already had the sprint in the bag. #SingaporeGP #F1 #Verstappen #SingaporeGP (translated)

The author wrote that she had received a chat about private conversations and that, upon arriving home, her grandparents, her parents, and an uncle raised their voices at her and told her that she was acting wrongly, which made her cry. She said she felt powerless for not being able to defend the fans and questioned the hostility towards them for loving BTS, as well as whether those who criticized them listened to what the group said. She also stated that a video in which, according to her, they had apparently seen a member of BTS and were yelling at him to get down had caused her anger and disgust.
