WATCH! A demo video about how kidnappings could happen and how you could prevent them!

Hi cycling people :) I installed and maintain a free bicycle repair station on a cycle lane near were we live (rural Denmark).

Am always interested in what cycling service infrastructure is available elsewhere, so if you have something: share it here! :-)

Good question.

Aaaand here it is:

Changes in the #Wikipedia's map of #Russian invasion in #Ukraine often are very small and difficult to notice. So I made an interface where you can cycle through them easily.

It also lets you *compare* two different versions to clearly see differences.

A background script runs every 2h to fetch new versions of the map. The page refreshes hourly.

Also, it uses zero #JavaScript. None. Not a single line. It's all HTML and CSS.

Local authorities and activists in Smolensk #Russia brought heavy equipment to Katyn monument and cemetery, threatening its demolition in response to removal of Soviet monuments in Poland.

It's a a rather thick manipulation: there's plenty of Russian (pre-WW2), Soviet and German military cemeteries in Poland and generally Eastern Europe, and none of them were demolished. What is being removed are *monuments* of Soviet generals and communist politicians, who were colonial occupiers for half of century.

Military cemeteries at the same time are maintained and protected based on bilateral agreements. Russia's threats to Katyn are likely yet another instance of denial of Soviet war crimes, as USSR initially claimed they were killed by Germans, then admitted to these executions (twice), and then went into denial mode again.

First they came for Ukraine, but I wasn’t Ukrainian…

Then they came for Ukraine again, but I still wasn’t Ukrainian…

(Well, actually, first they came for Syria but we’re racist little shits so that didn’t even register. But you get the idea.)

#WhereIsMarinaOvsyannikova

The editor of Rossiya 1, who protested live on-air with a "No War" banner, has not been heard from since. Her lawyer apparently is not able to contact her either.

She needs all the global attention she can get right now.

Based on the new law in Russia, for her action Marina can be charged with an offense that carries a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison.
