Moscow’s goal has never been slices of territory, but the elimination of Ukraine as a state, said former Ukrainian Aidar commander Yevhen Dykyi

If Russia truly wanted peace, it wouldn’t be planning to grow its grip on Ukrainian territory. Yet that’s exactly what’s happening, he added

You might think it's not a priority with all the doom happening around.

But the erosion of privacy rights is directly linked to the erosion of human rights, and the loss of democracy.

Privacy makes it safe for you to discuss, to organize, to resist, and to be your true self. This is exactly why fascists and authoritarians are attacking it.

If we lose privacy, we lose everything else. We have to defend it with all we've got.

Privacy rights are a priority.

This is my custom drawing of Coco the sweet dog! This portrait will eventually become a shiny foiled print, and this particular style helps foil release cleanly from the paper.

Well, this puts things in a bit of perspective. Holy hell.

EDIT: Well, this blew up! Lots of comments and the image, while compelling, is definitely misleading. Need to dig in if these are intended to be proportionally the same size, or just represent “what if an eastern portion of the USA was occupied”.

Either way, worthy to consider in either context to get folks (including myself) thinking.

And yeah, don’t give ab inch either way.

Revenge politics is what happens when our leaders, who are supposed to be fighting for us, do nothing.

I'm not above laughing at a jerk because his harmful decision blew up in his face. But if that's all we have as a claim for victory, then something's very wrong.

Flâneuring about London on the Tube with my wife today we were sat across a man in his 60s, dressed as he had a home but red faced as a drunk, quietly pull out a can from his pocket, run his finger around the ring pull like it were a temptress, and then quietly ease the booze open.
We fantasised he was a functioning alkie, was a sort of Jackson Lamb type savant, and was on his way to work to do his misanthropic and broken magic in a Very Important Building

Just saw a video where the creator made the comment "If you think you're autistic, treat yourself as if you were. Allistic people don't typically spend weeks and months doing research and trying to decide if they are autistic."

And again I am struck by the similarity with me of 4 years ago trying to figure out if I really was trans. Just replace "autistic/allistic" with "trans/cis" and it's deja vu all over again.

Em dash is "þankastrik", basically "thought dash"

These discoveries are prompted by the fact that I'm reading through this https://rettritun.arnastofnun.is/ because I'm a bit out of practice at writing Icelandic.

And that "small caps" is translated as "hásteflingar"

For fun, I checked what google translate thinks. It translates

"hásteflingar": "high stakes"
"tjámerki": "expression mark"

The "tjámerki" translation is at least compositionally correct

If a tool is being used to give a voice to marginalized people who would otherwise be ignored, and a bunch of white guys are doing a significant amount of complaining about that tool, maybe that’s a good sign to think twice before blindly internalizing their rhetoric.
