Oleksii Sukhorukov's son was 12 when the Russian invasion of Ukraine began. For months, the family existed in a state of trauma and disarray: Sukhorukov was forced to give up his work in the entertainment industry, which had included virtual reality and video games; they became isolated from friends and relatives. But amid the chaos, his boy had one outlet: Minecraft. Whatever was happening outside, he'd boot up Mojang's block-building video game and escape. "After 24 February 2022, I began to see the game in a completely different light," says Sukhorukov.

Former national security adviser Robert O'Brien explains that the attack is'inconsistent' with Ukrainian military tactics and says a small drone would not be a feasible way to attack Vladimir Putin. The United States is planning to send Ukraine around $1.2 billion in long-term military aid to help the country defend itself against a barrage of drone, rocket, and surface-to-air missile attacks from Russia, according to U.S. officials. The officials, who spoke anonymously, told The Associated Press that the aid package will likely be announced on Tuesday and the money will be provided under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative. In this photo taken on Thursday, May 4, 2023, a Ukrainian air force pilot stands near his Su-25 ground attack jet on his base in Eastern Ukraine. With this latest package, the U.S. will have provided Ukraine with nearly $37 billion in military aid since Russia invaded in late February 2022.

This article charts the work of a 4 month project aimed at automatically identifying patterns of tweets' popularity evolution using Machine Learning and Deep Learning techniques. To apprehend both the data and the extent of the problem, a straightforward clustering algorithm based on a point to point distance is used. Then, in an attempt to refine the algorithm, various analyses especially using feature extraction techniques are conducted. Although the algorithm eventually fails to automate such a task, this exercise raises a complex but necessary issue touching on the impact of virality on social networks.
