Russia continues to destroy the city. A residential building in Kostyantynivka, Donetsk region, caught fire after yet another strike. Flames have engulfed parts of the area as emergency services battle the aftermath.

How wildly exotic, suddenly.
What it would look like if Finnish followed French orthography. 
As someone who probably still goes as Mrs. Yanne in some French records, this somehow breaks my brain :D.

(BTW still bigly mad that literary Finnish wasn't codified based on Savo dialect. It would've been gloriously silly.)

"My greatest dream is for my mother to be returned from [Russian] captivity. I don’t dream of anything else."

The story of Oleksandr, kidnapped by Russians during the full-scale invasion, was presented at the European Parliament.

Sasha was 11 years old when Russians abducted him from Mariupol.

Outskirts of Rodynske, Pokrovsk district.

I honestly don’t know how to comment on this. The Russian crimes in Pokrovsk physically make me sick.

They targeted the car deliberately—and didn’t stop until they murdered the civilian.

Look, world. This is what’s happening in Donetsk region.

You might think that the mayor of Yellowknife, the capital of Canada's vast Northwest Territories, would be a fan of giant pickups.

Nope. He's disgusted by car bloat.

Ukraine answered our call for help after the 9/11 attacks and deployed 5,000 soldiers despite not being in NATO.
18 Ukrainian soldiers perished.
Russia paid bounties to the Taliban for every US soldier they killed.
Let's not ever mistake who our friends and enemies are.

Putin's "Christianity" at full display: a 63-year-old pastor sentenced for preaching peace.

Nikolai Romanyuk called war a sin and urged believers to refuse the draft.

🧵For this, a Russian court sentenced him to 4 years under laws against "threats to state security."

Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.

Yep. Personally, whenever I want to find a file in Windows, I open a bash shell (WSL or Cygwin, both work) and run a 'find' command there. Many times more efficient than the abomination that is Windows search...

This is so wrong. And so corrupt. And most Americans won’t blink at it. The Justice Department does not work for the President or the Vice President. It works for the American people. It must be independent.👇

It’s officially happening: the use of the machinery of justice to go on fishing expeditions about political predecessors. Absolute madness.

When a federal judge starts a ruling about the government's actions with an extended retelling of Kafka's "The Trial," you know the state of democracy in the good old US of A is in tip-top shape 🙃
Judge Boasberg's intro to the J.G.G. class cert. starts with Kafka.

On russian military parade in Moscow russians have proudly demonstrated their "Shaheed" drones - a terror weapon which kills Ukrainian civilians daily, and which has already killed thousands of civilians, including babies, pregnant women, elderly. This is what Fico, Vucic, and others salute.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy.

Third time’s the charm, I guess.
