Two posts from Russian channels:
- ‘An inhumane crime by the Armed Forces of Ukraine: Ukrainian terrorists attacked energy infrastructure facilities in the Bryansk region, which is an exceptionally cynical act of malice during a cold spell.’
- ‘Bakeries in Kyiv have run out of bread because emergency power systems in shopping centres are failing due to overload’ - Maksym Kalashnikov, who has been calling for even more relentless bombing of Ukrainian cities since 2022 to ‘force them to peace’, rejoices at the Russian attacks
On 27 January, #Russia will celebrate the end of the German blockade of Leningrad in 1943-1944, during which the Germans used exactly the same tactics against the Soviets that Russia has been using against #Ukraine for four years now, and previously against Chechnya and Syria.

The website invites users to manipulate tones in real time, simulating climate-induced language change and tonal erosion. Through this interaction, users generate “glitched” speech that remains comprehensible to human listeners yet becomes unparseable to #AI speech recognition systems. This deliberate mismatch exposes the limits of machine listening and proposes tonal instability as a form of digital resistance.
Resistance never disappears—it only continuously transforms:
