@PixelPilgrim there certainly are. One is going around various platforms on the fediverse under the name of fediversechick.

@alsternerd @atomicpoet @fediverse @crossgolf_rebel would be nice if the !group@domain.com reference becomes an ActivityPub standard

@avidamoeba from Masto I don't see any pictures in this post. So no way you can see it from pixelfed. Or am I missing something?

@lurch they thrive on the same fears as AfD, at least CSU does.

@avidamoeba I was expecting CSU (the Bavarian sister party which is much more hard-line) to be the first ones, but CDU beat them to it

North Macedonia's Sekerinska beats Bulgaria's Gabriel to become 2nd in NATO

According to anonymous officials, candidates included Bulgarian Mariya Gabriel, Croatian Kolinda Grabar-Kititarovic, and Montenegrin Olivera Injac.

This appears to suggest that Borissov's GERB did not back Gabriel's candidacy. An update consistent with the developments after the party tanked Gabriel's attempts to negotiate a large coalition for a national government early this year.

Here's another one for you. This one is considered "foreign agent" in Georgia. Certainly, in the country, probably also for #MAGA.

@avidamoeba well, that did pass, didn't it?

@avidamoeba I thought "mountain" stands at least for a sloped hill, maybe some bumpy path. In this video I see only tarmac roads flat as an artificial lake.

The NYT informs Russia about foreign aid deliveries

The @nytimes has published sensitive tactical details about the US arms deliveries to #Ukraine which leads to very specific risks of Russia intercepting these deliveries. Is this necessary? I don't think so.
