She worked for Novaya Gazetta, Russia’s last independent newspaper. Her newsroom was systematically threatened and harassed.
3 of her colleagues were murdered.
After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the newspaper was forced to shut down. She decided to report on Russian war crimes committed in Ukraine.
She ended up poisoned.
She told The Guardian that she isn’t giving up.
I will memorize her appearance and her name. She will not be dismissed. She will not be forgotten or erased.

This is a brave person and I hope she lives a long life and dies only when time comes for her.

If they were an athlete, American announcers would say “KOTS-A-CHANKO”.
She told her story last year (March 2024) on This American Life. Worth a listen!
Rather they just read out her essay: www.nplusonemag.com/…/how-they-tried-to-kill-me/ Bit it is indeed a good read/listen
I worry that
Can we get her to safety before they grab her and ship her back to Vlad?
The last time she fled to safety, Putin poisoned her anyway. Then she reported on her own assassination, went to Trump’s America and wrote a book on how Putin is fascist. She clearly made a decision, and I respect the hell out of it.
Seems like she is looking to do what is right, not what is safe.
The Tankies are gonna hate this one
seems conservatives are also joining the fray
Tough lady. Hats off to her.
what balls
I upvoted this post for visibility so I’m pretty brave too.
This community is all spam now.
Trollish fuck, I’ve read your comment history, u r as bad as anything being posted. Trumper fuck
Then leave? No one’s forcing you to stay, dipshit.
found the Russian troll!
I get what you mean but I really don’t mind this post. I didn’t know her, and now I do, and I think that’s cool.
Toby from The West Wing would find this strange.
I don’t wish to make too many tangential top-level comments, so I am declaring this the tangential thread, but all I can think of is that America is on a path where someday we’ll also have journalists who will literally have to choose between the truth and their own safety. We already have so many who choose lies over the truth when their safety is not questioned.
We have most of them picking job security vs. asking the hard questions, and when a few do ask something beyond what's expected from the officials we call them "brave". All of them should be doing this.
Some of them from some networks are playing the game because they profit from it, which is a problem as well.
Lots of journalists have come and gone that feared for their safety in the US. The only new thing about trump is how transparent all the corruption overreach and abuse of power has become.
Huh. She has several steganography markers reflective of generative AI in the image. Obviously those are based on traits that occur naturally, but the combination of traits here are all in harmony with a certain state of QKV hidden layers model alignment. The background, shadowing, overall color profile in CMYK, eye color, freckles on each area of skin, clothing color and pattern, flatness of the hair on the head, the strands of hair extending over the background, the face shape/nose shape/jaw line/dimples/eyebrow shatten combined are especially curious.
I’m interested to know how you analysed it. Is there a piece of software you used?
“Everything is AI” is almost as annoying as everything actually being AI. It’s the modern r/nothingeverhappens.
I never said anything was a conspiracy. I just point out something interesting. How you perceive that is entirely up to you. I see it as just as likely that her likeness was used in training or is present in substantial numbers within the original stable diffusion unet. Being dichotomous and dogmatic just pushes intelligence out, in favor of ever worsening echo chambers. If pointing out such anomalies is met with dogmatic stupidity, this is far too stupid of a placed for me to waste time engaging.
steganography markers
On top of everything else, this isn’t even the correct term, nor does its meaning match the sentiment you wish to convey.
I get weird SEO campaign content vibes when I see stuff like this from relatively new users.
