Christmas attack on Ukraine leads to power shortages, Zelenskyy says
Ukrainian president says Vladimir Putin “deliberately” chose Christmas Day to carry out the attack.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has condemned what he called an “inhumane” Christmas Day Russian drone strike.

“Every massive Russian strike requires time for preparation. It is never a spontaneous decision,” he said Wednesday.

The Ukrainian defense ministry said Russia launched 78 missiles and 106 drones, of which it shot down 113. Nonetheless, Zelensky said there were power “outages in several regions.”

“The targets are our energy infrastructure. They continue to fight for a blackout in Ukraine,” Zelenskyy added.

Ukrainian energy minister German Galushchenko said on Facebook that the transmission system operator took “the necessary consumption restriction measures to minimize the negative consequences for the energy system.”

Taking a dig at Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, Ukrainian foreign minister Andrei Sybiha said on X that “this Christmas terror is Putin’s response to those who spoke about illusionary ‘Christmas ceasefire.’” In days leading up to Christmas, Orbán had campaigned for a cease-fire between Russia and Ukraine, which Zelenskyy dismissed during an EU leaders summit he attended on Dec. 19.

Half a million people in the ravaged Kharkiv region were left without heating, while there were blackouts in Kyiv, according to media reports.

But listen guys, after listening to all 10 episodes of The Telepathy Tapes (literally top 5 podcast on Apple/Spotify rn) it makes me reconsider everything i thought about him.

Dude was just misunderstood. Everyone thinks he's a retard and can't tie his shoes because he's a retard, when in reality he's literally operating in the 4th dimension, simply not fully understanding how to operate his crude 3 dimensional body because he wasn't meant for it. Speech, just like tying your shoes is a fine motor skill. Non-verbal turbo autists are sometimes so disconnected from physical reality that they've said "I didn't even know I had a body" after first learning how to communicate via typing.

Alright I'm just ranting now but these guys are basically prisoners of their bodies in a sense. Well yes, but no because THEY CAN LITERALLY ASTRAL PROJECT AND MEET AT A PLACE CALLED "THE HILL"

Please guys, listen to the Telepathy Tapes pod so we can spread this shit to the normies

Donald Trump’s team has told European officials that the incoming US president will demand Nato member states increase defence spending to 5 per cent of GDP, but plans to continue supplying military aid to Ukraine.

The US president-elect’s closest foreign policy aides shared his intentions in discussions with senior European officials this month, according to people familiar with the talks, as he firms up his policies towards Europe and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
During his White House campaign, Trump vowed to cut off aid to Ukraine, force Kyiv into immediate peace talks, and leave Nato allies undefended if they failed to spend enough on defence — spooking European capitals.

But in a boost for allies deeply concerned over their ability to support and protect Ukraine without Washington’s backing, Trump now intends to maintain US military supplies to Kyiv after his inauguration, according to three other people briefed on the discussions with western officials.
At the same time Trump is to demand Nato more than double its 2 per cent spending target — which only 23 of the alliance’s 32 members currently meet — to 5 per cent, two people briefed on the conversations said.

One person said they understood that Trump would settle for 3.5 per cent, and that he was planning to explicitly link higher defence spending and the offer of more favourable trading terms with the US. “It’s clear that we are talking about 3 per cent or more for [Nato’s June summit in] The Hague summit,” said another European official briefed on Trump’s thinking.
Nato allies are already in discussions about increasing the target to 3 per cent at that meeting of leaders in June, but many capitals are concerned about the difficult fiscal decisions that would be required to do so.

Two Luigi Mangione Documentaries Are in the Works (So Far)
Portrait of Jason P. Frank

Luigi Mangione, suspect in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on December 4, will be the subject of dueling documentaries. Alex Gibney’s Jigsaw Productions and Anonymous Content were the first to announce, per Variety. Last year, Gibney was “hugely excited” to announce that he is working on an Elon Musk documentary as well. His previous work includes the Oscar-winning Taxi to the Dark Side, a 2007 doc about the killing of an Afghani taxi driver by U.S. soldier, and his 2005 breakout, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, about the collapse of the energy company. The new documentary will not just follow Mangione but also explore larger questions about the value of life and death in America, Variety reported. We assume that will be entirely different from …

… This other documentary! Also announced December 16, the second Mangione-focused documentary is produced by Stephen Robert Morse, who directed the Emmy-nominated 2016 Amanda Knox for Netflix, per Variety. “This case is complex and raises important questions about vigilantism, the devastating cost of a privatized healthcare system and the inevitability of violence when peaceful change is seen as impossible,” Morse said in a statement. If anybody else has a Luigi-mentary they’d like to announce, submit an invoice and we’ll get back to you.

Mangione, 26, is charged with one count of first-degree murder in furtherance of terrorism and two counts of second-degree murder, one of which is charged as killing as an act of terrorism.

"This was a killing to evoke terror," Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said at a news conference to announce the 11-count indictment. "This was not an ordinary killing … this was extraordinary."

Bragg called the slaying "brazen" and "targeted."

A study proved that most Americans think democrats are self righteous, fart-huffing weirdos. Even democrat voters think that.

New research shows the massive hole Dems are in
Even voters who previously backed Democrats cast the party as weak and overly focused on diversity and elites.

Democrats conducting post-mortems on their sweeping losses in 2024 are finding more reason for alarm. And the problem isn’t just Kamala Harris or Joe Biden.

In a trio of focus groups, even voters who previously backed Democrats cast the party as weak and overly focused on diversity and elites, according to research by the progressive group Navigator Research.

When asked to compare the Democratic Party to an animal, one participant compared the party to an ostrich because “they’ve got their heads in the sand and are absolutely committed to their own ideas, even when they’re failing.” Another likened them to koalas, who “are complacent and lazy about getting policy wins that we really need.” Democrats, another said, are “not a friend of the working class anymore.”

The focus group research, shared first with POLITICO, represents the latest troubling pulse check for a party still sorting through the wreckage of its November losses and looking for a path to rebuild. Without a clear party leader and with losses across nearly every demographic in November, Democrats are walking into a second Trump presidency without a unified strategy to improve their electoral prospects. And while some Democrats blame Biden, others blame inflation and still others blame “losing hold of culture,” the feedback from the focus groups found Democrats’ problems are even more widespread and potentially long-lasting than a single election cycle.

Kayla Prowell, a 23-year-old from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, would really love a place to hang out, and ideally, not have to buy something to do so. Growing up in the South Suburb of Chicago, Prowell said it felt like there was no shortage of places to come together with friends. That was in part due to local politicians’ and community organizers’ efforts to keep kids off the streets.

“As I kid, I remember going to nature clubs, dance classes, knitting clubs, all after school,” she recalled. “I don’t know if it’s my increasing age or just a natural decline of shared spaces, but now it requires much more effort to find these kinds of spaces.”

“I’ve found myself making concerted efforts in adulthood to join clubs, go on Eventbrite, and more,” she told HuffPost. “I’m an avid QR code scanner when I see a poster for a community event, and I enjoy the YMCA.”

Online communities just don’t cut it anymore, Prowell said. She wants IRL.
