It was never just about Ukraine.
It was always revanchism; an attempt to regain all the territory that the Russian Empire lost when the USSR collapsed.

Microsoft reported massive spikes in water usage because of rise in use of AI/chatGPT. So now I have a greater reason to rail against AI/chatGPT as a water scholar.

… and done:
re.sub(r'\[\\s-\]', '', s.title())It's a very liberating experience of not running your local tools as open-source projects. No tests, no VCS, no releases, no version bumping, no separate step of "installing" from a package index of something you just fixed yourself. And no risk of provoking stupid bikeshedding by a simplest of change.
(That said, I'm happy to share my script for posting photos from #Darktable to Mastodon if anyone's interested.)

Finally found a shiny Galarian zigzagoon! According to the pokedex records this was the 379th encounter.
I was looking for a shiny blipbug but I'm not complaining, especially since this has a sleepy mark as well.

It might be because most of the movies I watch these days are kid's movies, but I maintain that Luca is both delightful and seriously underrated.

While history often remembers John Brown’s assault on the Federal Arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, it forgets 5 Black Americans who joined him, including a man named Dangerfield Newby. Dangerfield Newby’s motivation for joining Brown was rooted in his love for his family,. His story is a powerful reminder of the enduring struggle for freedom by ordinary people. They are worthy of remembering.

“One can see this book as a portrait of a generation that dreamed that new drugs and free sex would bring about a fresh dawn and the rise of homo superior, wandering the world of the generation before them like magical children walking through an abandoned city—through the ruins of Rome, or Athens, or New York: that the book is inhabiting and reinterpreting the myths of the people who came to be known as the hippies. But if that were all the book was, it would be a poor sort of tale, with little resonance for now. Instead, it continues to resonate.”

"Mr. Isaacson’s account left several questions unanswered, including who had initiated the call between Mr. Musk and Mr. Antonov, and whether Mr. Musk had revealed the planned attack to the Russian ambassador. "

"Even before the war in Ukraine exposed problems with some Russian military hardware, Hanoi had begun to diversify, tapping suppliers in Israel and the Czech Republic, among others. Russia’s invasion of Crimea in 2014 forced Vietnam to source frigates in Russia but get key parts for them in Ukraine, an awkward scramble. And Moscow’s need to supply its own war effort has raised questions about whether Russian factories can churn out enough to meet foreign arms orders, too."

"The aggressive moves involving higher education in Florida are part of a wave of similar legislation in Texas, Tennessee and other red states. The efforts are based around the word Sasse used: indoctrination, the premise that professors are indoctrinating students with liberal orthodoxy. The research that exists on this point, however, indicates that rather than moving to the left during their time on campus, most freshmen are arriving at college already holding political views that lean that way."
