Right-wing billionaires now own the Washington Post, the LA Times, CNN, CBS News, virtually every local TV station, virtually every news radio station, most local newspapers, X, Facebook, Threads, and TikTok. (Did I miss any?) They own almost the entire information environment.
Day 1698 of Russia's all-out war on Ukraine, and 4,623 days since Putin started his invasion of now occupied Crimea. A late start to the daily thread today, after last night's very late finish, but as always, I am here with all the important news in one thread.
Marc Vanguard wrote that there had been so many riots during Emmanuel Macron's five-year terms that they were forgotten. He indicated that he had published a thread to recap them and described it as terrifying. https://t.co/law9lk1dYD #Macron #émeutes #France (translated)
The author wrote that the Left, Greens, and SPD wanted to socialize large housing companies in Berlin and transfer 160,000 apartments into communal ownership. Additionally, 100,000 apartments were to be built by 2031. The exploratory paper is now available, he stated. #Wohnungsbau #Berlin #SozialeGerechtigkeit #DE (translated)
ChristosUE analyzed in a video the match Olympiakos BC-Barcelona, noting that Vezenkov prevailed in his personal duels and that Olympiakos' offense found solutions against Barcelona's different defenses. He added that McIntyre and Montero exploited the defense without help, while he described Ndiaye's presence in offense and defense as excellent and his utilization by the coaching staff. According to him, the two against two game between Montero and Vezenkov acquired chemistry, and he pointed out the last defense and the last offense of the match. He also mentioned that Olympiakos had a record of 5-1, the best offense and the seventh defense per 100 possessions, with the defense gradually improving. #OlympiacosBC #Μπαρτσελονα #μπάσκετ (translated)

Matti Molari wrote that he would reduce his posting on Threads. He said that a few months of observation had confirmed his belief that the left, in his opinion, had fallen into mass hysteria and lost its sense of reality, which is why he felt that Nazis were seen everywhere. Molari also claimed that the left employed a narcissistic modus operandi and ruled through lies. According to him, nearly everyone was like this. #politiikka #yhteiskunta #keskustelu (translated)
Mehdi (e/λ) estimated that the most negative reactions always came from French people whom he deemed unable to see beyond their immediate horizon. He stated that integrating compressed gas thrusters from SpaceX represented a fundamental first step towards mastering pitch control and rapid vector thrust on a ground vehicle. He added that the miniaturization of high-pressure air micro-nozzles, controlled by flight computers, laid the physical and algorithmic foundations for the stabilization of future eVTOLs and flying vehicles. He indicated that he would publish a more detailed thread when he had more elements. Mehdi also criticized reactions on French Twitter, describing the country as marked by failure. According to him, while skeptics scoffed, others tested the limits of physics and built the future step by step. #Innovation #Technologie #Aérospatial (translated)
Legal Jake Gyllenhaal shared a thread with websites that, according to him, gathered materials to create art, stickers, and posters for demonstrations, as well as novels made with artificial intelligence. He said that the post followed a publication from the previous day about the Victory Archive. https://t.co/33iCcioRt7 #Manifestação #Arte #Ativismo (translated)
Trump promised to end Putin's war in Ukraine in a day. Instead, he has made concession after concession to Putin, getting nothing concrete in return. I now think Ukrainians would have been better off if Trump had done absolutely nothing. THREAD. 1/
Andrej Fiskovec wished good morning and stated that October 15, 2026, is the 1695th day of the Russian war against Ukraine. He also referred to the current thread. #RuskoUkraina #Válka #Aktuality (translated)
The post’s author called Marek Menkiszak’s thread essential reading for anyone considering whether there might be a “better Putin” in the Kremlin to engage with over Vladimir Putin’s head. They described that idea as a dangerous illusion and said Russia’s aggression was rooted in imperial ambition. #Putin #Russia #Kremlin #RU
A couple of days after the 2024 US elections I posted a thread on Twitter on what a Trump administration policy on Ukraine and Russia was likely to be. What they're doing now is appalling, but it shouldn't be a surprise.
Day 1694 of Russia's war in Europe starts with just one question. Has he, or hasn't he? Did Presidementia stop sharing Intel, leading to direct deaths and damage in Ukraine, and did his lap-dog Musk also limit Starlink to lessen problems for Russia? Here's my daily thread.
XristosUE wrote that Olympiakos had passive defense in the first half, but after the break, they showed greater intensity, better switches, active hands, and more communication, limiting Valencia's post-ups. He mentioned Fournier and Montero as key players, praised the accuracy of the main players in crucial shots, and the attack against Valencia's hedge-out defense. He added that Jones, Endjai, and Ward provided energy, described Papapetrou's game as significant, and highlighted Endjai's presence in the 4 and 5 positions in small and versatile lineups. He described the match as epic and said he hoped the second half would serve as a guide for the future. #μπάσκετ #Ολυμπιακός #Βαλένθια (translated)
Call me a masochist, but I'm returning to this issue, as I feel it has been poorly understood. Please read the whole thread before responding. First, I hope we can agree that the Israeli government is committing genocide in Gaza and horrific crimes in the West Bank and the wider region.

Roman the dog helped search for people trapped under the rubble after the Russian strike on Pryluky. Search and rescue dogs have a lot of work in Ukraine because of Russia, sadly. 📹: lid._ka/Threads
