Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 12/08/2026A passage from Bryher's Heart to Artemis, where she discusses helping intellectuals and Jews fleeing the rise of Nazism. Does this, maybe, remind you of attitudes you may have recently encountered ? 000
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 15/06/2026One of the most terrifying images you'll ever see (and no, not because of what happened in the fight). 000
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 08/04/2026By Tony Clifton, who was @newsweek.com 's correspondant in Lebanon, in Catherine Leroy's God Cried, a book about an Israeli invasion of Lebanon in a time when Hezbollah did not exist. Cathe's photography of Lebanon for Time made her the first female recipient of a Capa Gold Medal. 010
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 07/04/2026Difficult not to think the world would react quite differently if Hussein was part of this person's name... 010
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 29/03/2026Ensuite, un peu de contexte historique en 2 images, via 24heures.ch/voyage-scien.... Regardez bien les dates, et le drapeau. Le drapeau, c'est celui de Русское географическое общество, la Société Géographique Russe. Qui est en est, depuis 2009, le président ? Sergei Shoigu. 2/6 121
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 29/03/2026La politique Suisse et l'Ukraine, une petite histoire en 3 images. Acte un, en gardant à l'esprit que M. Broulis est membre de la Commission de la politique de sécurité du Conseil des Etats du Parlement Suisse, dont les domaines de compétence sont notamment l'armée et l'OTAN. 1/6 121
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 13/03/2026Il n'y a pas que la Biennale de Venise et les jeux Paralympiques... Dans @lemondefr du jour, "La Serbie, principale plaque tournante des opérations de déstabilisation russe en Europe" www.lemonde.fr/internationa... 000
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 13/03/2026Et pendant ce temps, @heidi-news.bsky.social vous raconte la Suisse... www.heidi.news/explorations... 000
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 10/03/2026For the curious, this is how @signal.org's actual "Official and only chat" looks like on my device. Notice that here, the photo is set to Signal's icon, and also that there's a blue checkmark next to the name. 000
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 10/03/2026Careful out there. Got hit with this phishing attempt over @signal.org earlier, seems like a quite clear attempt at using @aivd.bsky.social's recent warning on an ongoing Russian campaign (english.aivd.nl/latest/news/...) 101
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 05/03/2026Looks like "not Klaus, Kristi" Barbie is out, Hick Fury is in. 000

Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 17/02/2026Pour les Francophones qui souhaitent comprendre l'époque, l'on ne pourra que très fortement recommender le livre d'Arnaud Miranda. C'est par ici: www.placedeslibraires.fr/livre/978207... 110
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 24/01/2026An interesting sign that the Trump admininstration thinks documentary photography is still relevant. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/... 000
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 23/12/2025Bryher's words, from What Shall You Do In The War?, published in 1933, echoing across time. "To be a Jew is bad, and to be a Communist is worse, but to be a pacifist is unforgivable. - Popular German slogan. 000
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 21/12/2025L'on va rappeler la séquence: 1. Emmanuel Macron fait une rechute de Galactérite aigüe, et annonce qu'il faut parler avec le Kremlin. 2. Le Kremlin amorce le dialogue par le retrait d'accords militaires avec 11 pays européens. 3. La France regarde quand elle est libre pour un thé. 194
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 11/12/2025Great work by a group of Axel Springer Academy students... www.digitaldigging.org/p/they-drone... 000

Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 29/07/2025Today in know your shitcoins: WASHTA, international currency of NGO bullshit. 100
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 30/01/2025An oldie but goodie on the silence of #GazaGenocide activists during the Assad regime's destruction of Yarmouk. This was written in 2015. www.thetower.org/article/yarm... 000
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 26/01/2025Verify Syria checked the claims - nitrogen-based, they say. x.com/VeSyriaE/sta... 130
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 26/01/2025Thanks. To add to your collection, this is what I was told back then was a chlorine delivery device, from Talmenes in 2014. 010
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 22/01/2025Here, have an interesting read... www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... 000
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 20/01/2025Maybe fittingly, maybe coincidentally, the same engraving was used for the cover to the English edition of Susan Neiman's brilliant Evil in Modern Thought. 000
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 20/01/2025This (rare) interview of Patrick Haenni is an absolute must-watch for those who are curious, concerned, follow, or write about Syria. For those who don't know, Haenni is one of the few westerners whose HTS work is solid both in the field and in theory. www.youtube.com/watch?v=F93f... 276
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 19/01/2025For those concerned about Syria's future, a must read is Patrick Haenni and Olivier Roy's recent working paper, "The management of religious law and police by HTS in the Idlib region between 2017 and 2024". cadmus.eui.eu/handle/1814/... 041
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 18/01/2025I thought there might be a joke to be made about the shifting meaning of "red line" in Barack Obama's vocabulary, but come to think about it, it meant the same thing in Syria and Ukraine. abcnews.go.com/Internationa... 041
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 15/01/2025Pour les Francophones: les frères de Mahmoud al-Jawabra, première victime de la répression de la révolution de 2011, sont mort noyés, avec leurs enfants, en essayant de passer en Europe. Voilà. 01910
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 14/01/2025Et un autre petit rappel de contexte culturel et historique pour bien faire... www.ft.com/content/cfbf... 064
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 12/01/2025Innit weird how a search on the "whatabout #GazaGenocide 🍉 🇵🇸" type accounts almost never, ever returns a single post on Yarmouk? 000
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 08/01/2025To help westerners understand what Syrian detainees mean by "overcrowded", this is a cell from Airforce Security at Mazzeh Airport. The number on the piece of paper isn't the cell number, it's the number of detainees in the cell. Ask an Arabic speaker what the number_s_ are. 031
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 31/12/2024Effectivement, Nabil Antaki a de quoi être inquiet, mais peut-être pas (que) pour ça. 001
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 26/12/2024A couple of quick thoughts on this @nicolastenzer.bsky.social piece. 01910
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 10/12/2024Puisque les Jeux Olympiques de l'Indignité, lancés le 8 Décembre dans toutes les capitales Occidentales, battent leur plein, sachez qu'Omerta (non, pas @omerta-officiel.bsky.social) et @lepoint.fr sont au coude-à-coude dans le sprint de départ pour la médaille de la plus grosse dégueulasserie. 022
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 10/12/2024Nabil, Médecin à Alep, Chrétien, a perdu tout espoir. Effectivement, maintenant que ses amis sont partis, il doit se sentir un peu seul... 061
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 10/12/2024Today, Assange is a free man. Melzer is enjoying his sabbatical, after years of being paid hundreds of thousands. And yesterday, Mazen Hamada, who was so distraught that his testimony was ignored that he returned to Syria despite having been horrifically tortured, was found at Sednaya. 185
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 10/12/2024Why was Melzer silent about some of the worst crimes of our time, while occupying prominent positions at institutions that were designed to prevent them ? In his words, "My ressources are scarce". 122

Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 06/12/2024Abu Mohammad al-Julani / Ahmed al-Shar’a on why HTS has been so successful in the last few days. edition.cnn.com/2024/12/06/m... 000
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 19/11/2024Comme trop souvent, pour ne pas dire toujours, chez M. Mélenchon, la seule intelligence clairement apparente est l'intelligence avec l'ennemi. S'y ajoute, ici, une bonne rasade de la couardise propre aux individus de sa qualité. 000
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 14/11/2024I'm not sure who came up with this, but it's... not entirely inaccurate? 000
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 12/11/2024Regarding Ukraine and Trump, here's what Mike Waltz, rumoured to be incoming National Security Advisor, had to say 2 weeks ago. This quote has been floating around a bit, and it's from around 23:50 here: youtube.com/watch?v=L36x.... The whole thing is obviously worth a listen. 000
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 12/10/2024Today, in "PTSD everything", the Swiss 45k a week clinic where the director very seriously explains that there's been an increase in PTSD patients. I'd be very, very, VERY curious to know what the numbers, nationalities, and the causes are. Very. www.24heures.ch/addictions-p... 000
Matthias Bruggmann @matt.dull.ch · 18/09/2024This, by @benjedwards.bsky.social is a rather good, and timely, read. arstechnica.com/information-... 121
