This is the attack our BC hero was killed in π
He was evacuating animals from this shelter
russian terrorists attacked with an FPV drone an animal shelter in Kramatorsk, causing a fire on the second floor of the building where many cats were located. After the firefighters arrived to put out the fire and help evacuate and collect the animals, a russian drone was waiting in the sky⦠after which it crashed into the fire truck as well.
Throughout the full-scale war, this shelter served as a refuge for stray animals and people with pets. The animals that were inside during the strike were carried outside, but some of them ran off into the surrounding area and got lost due to the explosion and shock.

Breaking: the FAA has shut down airspace over the Department of Energyβs Savannah River Site, with a notice calling it a βUS Government Nuclear Incident.β
An event is in progress that has triggered emergency response activities at the Department of Energyβs Savannah River Site. This message is being sent to you as part of our emergency response organization information process.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The FAA NOTAM used standard terminology for a temporary restriction during a nuclear site incident; official updates confirm a contained lab fire was extinguished with no detectable off-site contamination and the Site Area Emergency was terminated.

When my local BC Conservative MLA candidate in 2024 was posting that people should kill themselves for dissing Trump, he got the same reaction from me. Left, right or center, there's garbage human beings everywhere. @kinsellawarren this post might interest you.
real talk @BradMBradford, you ran a hell of a race. itβs prob hard to not have really dark thoughts but please know you are alone and you should give into them
RIP Walter, hopefully the ear bug didn't contribute.

βΉοΈ REMINDER: @SKGov is reminding Saskatchewan residents that the federal government's firearm amnesty period extends beyond October 30th, 2026, to 90 days after the Supreme Court decision on CCFR v Canada.
A decision isn't expected before mid-2027

A Russian operation made AI deepfakes of a real former student accusing James Talarico of sexual assault. The real student says "it's not me" and that Talarico "never messed with me." The video still passed 850,000 views on X in its first 24 hours.
Here's how it worked.
On October 20, an account that X lists as signed up from Romania posted the video, claiming abuse when Talarico taught middle school in San Antonio. Lead Stories reached the real Zyon Lewis, and he called it "very bad AI." Detection tools rated the videos more than 99% likely to be AI-generated.
Three research teams attribute it to Storm-1516, the same Russian operation that ran fake scandals against Tim Walz in 2024. Fifteen bot accounts shared it right away. About 12 hours later, big verified accounts reposted it, including a pro-GOP account with 185,000 followers, and it exploded. NBC calls it the most prominent example yet of foreign meddling in these midterms.
It's not the only operation. Bloomberg reviewed 130 fake videos and doctored front pages from a second Russian network, called Matryoshka, including fake ABC and CBS clips, AI videos of De Niro and Cher attacking Democrats, and a made-up claim about Jon Ossoff's properties.
On October 21, the top Democrats on both intelligence committees said a classified briefing showed Russia targeting Democrats right now.
Nobody is saying Russia changed votes. It doesn't have to. It makes the lie, and Americans spread it for free.

This is actually very dangerous for both victims and tipsters and puts the whole system at risk.
Tens of thousands of crimes have been solved thanks to these tips but people wonβt want to be at risk. π¨π¦π
This may be the most significant data breach in Canadian history. Not in terms of the numbers, but in terms of the nature of the records compromised. "More than 1.5 million Canadian Crime Stoppers tips leaked" cbc.ca/news/investigates/canβ¦

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just βdone a dealβ with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.

Our nation and way of life face constant internal and external threats. As a soldier, my duty was to protect against these challenges, first in EOD by removing unexploded ordnance hazards, and later in Delta Force working to free those held by terrorists or hostile states. Itβs vital that we study our 250-year history to learn from our successes and our mistakes. Revisionist history deprives us of those essential lessons.
