In Ternopil, the clearing of the rubble is still ongoing. 22 people are considered missing. As of now, there are 26 dead, including three children.
The damn pilots killed more people with one missile than the serial killer Chikatilo. We hope the names of the pilots, planners, and equipers are

First, russians killed his mother in Mariupol, then they abducted him.
Thanks to his grandmother, who made the trek into enemy territory to retrieve him, Illia returned home.
He was one of the "lucky" ones — at least 19,500 Ukrainian children have been stolen by russia.

Spreading fear and terrozing innocent people is exactly what russia aims to achieve. The death toll in Ternopil has now risen to 25, including 4 children.
There is no such thing as a "safe" city in Ukraine with russia as a neighbor. Help protect civilians:

That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

It's blood libel. The way Tucker Carlson talks about Zelensky, conjures up an image of a Jewish leader who sacrifices Christians for nefarious ends, is the most obvious indicator of his antisemitism.

Turning off Desktop & Document sync in iCloud instantly fixed the issue for me. Everything became snappy again.
With Optimize Mac Storage & Desktop Sync turned On, performance improved slightly but was still only about half as fast as normal.

I have not seen any officials state any outrage at the Russian army targeting U.N personnel. It really is a useless organisation at this point. Russia is currently in charge of the U.N Counter-Terrorism Committee btw.

For no reason whatsoever, here is a portrait of Pietro Grimani, Doge of Venice from 1741 to 1752, by Bartolomeo Nazari.
On side note, he kinda looks like James May of "Top Gear" & "The Grand Tour" fame.
