‘Save the Planet’ by the brilliant neo classical pianist #mikaelsapin is my most played track of 2021. Other artists in my top 5 this year are @SebastianPlano and maxrichtermusic. Thank you all for making such great music - easing my mind🙏

Prosecution of #MH17 trial presents its case: The suspects did not press the button that launched the missile but they are responsible downing the plane - although MH17 was not their target, firing that BUK would kill occupants of any aircraft and that’s against the law of war.

#MH17 prosecution demands life in prison for Girkin, Dubinskiy, Pulatov and Kharchenko for killing the 298 on board. Evidence is indisputable. The chance that they will serve their sentence is nil. Are they not disgusted by their own actions? Is there no Raskolnikov in them?

An increasing probability → a child reading Wikipedia in 2044: February 24th, 2022 Vladimir #Putin, the autocratic leader of Russia, invaded #Ukraine and started a new war in Europe that led to #WorldWarIII #RussiaInvasion

The potential escalatory spiral from this conflict, particularly given the strategic impact of sanctions on Russia, is one of the questions that I think weighed heaviest on people's minds in weeks/months preceding the war. Nuclear signaling is just the beginning.

8 years ago not only flight #MH17 was shot down, the whole way of perceiving truth crashed. My film Where Truth Lies (2024) about MH17, investigates our universal need for truth. What to navigate on when the world has so many untruths? Is there even a common truth? @eliothiggins.bsky.social

1,000 days ago, Russia illegally invaded Ukraine, starting a full-blown war. For me, it’s impossible not to reflect on this event and the current state of affairs. My thoughts are with the many thousand victims of this hateful crime. #ukrainewar #ukraine #war #istandwithukraine

My favorite movie of 2024, All of Us Strangers, resonated deeply with me. It’s an emotional exploration of loneliness, longing, and the fragile beauty of love—a devastating yet hopeful reflection on queer life, family, and our universal need for connection♥️ #AllofUsStrangers

My favorite track of 2024 is by far the profound and intriguing DANTE by the virtuosic Echo Collective (Echo Collective). I had the privilege of experiencing this track and their album Mirror Image live this year at De Doelen Rotterdam. I played Dante to my daughter to see how it

After three years of Russian atrocities in Ukraine, it is unmistakable to me—especially now that the U.S. prioritizes economic interests over Ukraine’s freedom and security—that the slogan ‘never again,’ which was formulated after World War II as a binding promise for elites,
