1/There is nothing more embarrassing than watching hordes of liberals willingly herd themselves into a pen funded by Russian capital. Blue sky’s principal funder Blockchain Capital LLC is run in part by Kirill Dorofeev, who also works for VK, Russia’s state social network.

2/Be aware you are effectively operating behind enemy lines. It may be tactically useful to do so, but don’t pretend there is anything “good” happening here. For all the talk about critical thinking, folks could try using some for once. 🤦

Kirill looks remarkably like Kyle McLachlan as he played Special Agent Dale Cooper in Twin Peaks.

It leaves me wondering how rigourous your research is.

A copy of the promotional picture from the RTÉ web page that I link to in the post. A crop of this image is used to as the profile picture of this so-called "Kirill Dorofeev" in the screenhosts Dave posts above, casting doubt as to whether such a person exists. Oh! and one wonders why such an anti-Bluesky Masto-bro won't use alt-texts in his images, something that's considered at the very least rude across the fediverse. And, finally, as admin of toad.social, I wonder to what extent Dave is adhering to item 4 of his own server's rules: "Be transparent: no impersonation or hidden agendas."

@eibhear the real person attached to this profile is a devotee of Transcendental Meditation, and David Lynch. That’s why they use this photo. The information required to sort that is in Russian.
