    Plot to assassinate Vladimir Solovyov

    It could mean the accused ordered them and hadn't had an opportunity to wear them yet. Worn shirts would certainly be better proof, though. I saw that as well, but noticed metal caps, which are used on glass bottles. Plastic bottles have plastic caps. They didn't buy the contents at the gas...

    Russia and Ukraine Current Events

    Russian forces have adopted a sounder pattern of operational movement in eastern Ukraine, at least along the line from Izyum to Rubizhne. Russian troops are pushing down multiple roughly parallel roads within supporting distance of one another, allowing them to bring more combat power to bear...

    Plot to assassinate Vladimir Solovyov

    I feel certain this is a case of intentional sabotage in the form of malicious compliance, i.e. doing what the bosses tell you, but not what they want. These bosses may well be the same people who lied to Putin about Ukraine and caused the war in the first place. The wig is a strong contender...

    Plot to assassinate Vladimir Solovyov

    Well, it is published on Ria Novosti (the NYP links to it), so it's definitely official. New York Post excerpts: The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation released the bizarre photos Monday and announced that police had arrested six neo-Nazis plotting to kill Russian TV Host...

    Russia and Ukraine Current Events

    Some Ukrainians are returning to Kyiv. The reported numbers of individual crossings back into Ukraine are not necessarily “returnees” and this cannot draw conclusions yet on definitive trends. These movements can be pendular considering the situation remains highly volatile and unpredictable...

    Claim: National Endowment for Democracy has funded the Chief Editor of The Kyiv Independent

    Re: the Thomson Reuters Foundation, any conclusions extended to Reuters the news company would be incorrect. As a charity, any funds given to the foundation can't be converted into earnings for the news company, so there can't be influence in that direction. Thomson Reuters Foundation is a...

    Claim: National Endowment for Democracy has funded the Chief Editor of The Kyiv Independent

    I'm using the resources described in https://www.metabunk.org/threads/media-bias.11554/ and find this for Bellingcat: These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience...

    2022 Antarctic Flight (74 gear)

    The purpose of this is to shut up the FEers commenting on Kelsey's channel, some of which have apparently bragged to be rich and willing to pay a six-digit sum for such a flight. If these guys don't sign up for it, it becomes obvious that it was never about evidence or an honest search for truth.

    A pilot vlogger is organizing a Flat Earth direct flight from Buenos Aires to Perth on October 20th, 2022, if his Kickstarter for $1.5 million gets funded by June 10th. A ticket costs $10,000, and that does not include transportation to Buenos Aires or from Perth. The flight is expected to take...

    Can Skyscrapers Fall Over on Their Side?

    it shows that using "soda" and "can" in an appeal to intuition may not be the best idea a tree that gets felled is also "gravity driven" and doesn't require much lateral force if at all. A steel frame building has properties to distinguish itself from these examples.

    When I crushed a soda can, back in the days before can deposit machines, it almost never crushed straight.

    Can Skyscrapers Fall Over on Their Side?

    After the bottom half was already crushed, who knows what shape the pile of rubble is at this point. They're not steel frame buildings. I also suspect the start of their collapse was edited out.
