In what universe? It's reporting based on dozens of interviews.
His voice makes me want to stab my ears but he's unravelling and it's kind of glorious.
According to the joint statement, they will now "be taking immediate steps to cancel bilateral air services agreements with Iran," and work towards sanctioning Iran Air, the country's flag carrier.
"Entities and individuals involved with Iran's ballistic missile program and the transfer of ballistic missiles and other weapons to Russia" will also face sanctions.

The U.K. released a statement detailing which Iranian individuals and organizations had been sanctioned by both London and Washington.
These include Brigadier General Seyed Hamzeh Ghalandari, the Iranian Defense Ministry's director general for international relations, Second Brigadier General Ali Jafarabadi, the head of the Space Command of Iran's Aerospace Force, and Majid Mousavi, Deputy Commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards.
The U.K. also announced sanctions on five Russian cargo ships "for their role in transporting military supplies from Iran to Russia."
- “Boogaloo” has been co-opted and carries an unfortunate connotation these days.
I'm nowhere near ready to give up the fight on this one. Those bastards can pry "[Anything] 2: Electric Boogaloo" from my cold, dead hands.
This paper has a sketchy history. It's based in Moscow and not listed as a foreign agent. openDemocracy reports here on their history of publishing pro-Kremlin, pro-Putin nonsense. When 5 senior editors quit in response and started another paper, they were immediately labelled "foreign agents". This is propaganda. Check this uncritical trash about teaching students "media literacy" by depending on the state propaganda network:
The main meaning of the classes is to introduce schoolchildren to TASS as the main state news agency of the country, a source of reliable information about Russia and the world, follows from the scenarios of the classes. The Agency sets itself the task of "protecting the informational boundaries of the country and the truth, which is very often tried and trying to take away," said Andrei Kondrashov, TASS Director General. In order to become a journalist, it is necessary to "Homeland to love" and be inquisitive, he concluded. (autotranslated)
But while that’s a very lucky thing to have, the issue is that we depend on the owner of Mastodon to not sell the company to a billionaire.
We don't depend on that. Buying Mastodon would get them the branding but not Mastodon itself. It's all GPL/AGPL and would be forked immediately if sold. The buyer would have no control over it.
Oracle may have owned OpenOffice but it didn't matter. Everyone uses LibreOffice now. Same shit.
'omg Meta's blocking nazi instances!'
- Gleason is a transphobic idiot.

It's real in that this was actually produced by an Israeli construction company. It's fake in that this isn't actually happening or approved by the state.
THIS IS NOT A NEWS SOURCE
Xinhua News Agency, or New China News Agency, is the official state news agency of the People's Republic of China. A State Council's ministry-level institution founded in 1931, Xinhua is the largest media organ in China.
Xinhua is a publisher, as well as a news agency; it publishes in multiple languages and is a channel for the distribution of information related to the Chinese government and the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Its headquarters in Beijing are located close to the central government's headquarters at Zhongnanhai.
Xinhua tailors its pro-Chinese government message to the nuances of each international audience. The organization has faced criticism for spreading propaganda and disinformation and for criticizing people, groups, or movements critical of the Chinese government and its policies.

Their press freedom ranking is "Total Oppression" which means they publish whatever Dear Leader tells them to under threat of torture, imprisonment, or death. Not news.
For real.
It's got to be crazy corruption from Lopez Obrador too though. The cartels have killed around 180 000 people since he took office and he's asking them to 'act responsibly' and chiding people for demonizing them.
