Nice modernist house. Not destroyed by new thick framed windows like most houses from the era here.

I had to change ear pads on my headphones.
They were quite worn out after 4 years of intensive use.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

The Trump admin is like a hapless student who can't decide whether to say they plagiarized or wrote the terrible essay they submitted. It's a lose-lose situation, really.

Did you guys hear about the Georgia man who died in a scuba diving accident after which family looked in the backyard treehouse and found the skeletal remains of his missing adult son? It’s such a weird story and I need there to be any kind of resolution.

De däringa 28 punkterna sa att Ukrainas integritet skulle skrivas in i rysk lag. Det är lite som att skriva Ave Maria med kristyr på golvet i duschrummet.

Russia is not winning its war in Ukraine

But Steve Witkoff has agreed to treat them as a victor

It’s a long Russian con to make America complicit — and it makes America weak, and corrupt
The “peace plan” for Ukraine is just a framework for Russia & the US to take assets away from Ukrainian recovery, and to ensure Russia evades accountability for war crimes

Europe can, and must, craft better with Ukraine

A point by point analysis of the shambles:

The “deal” deprives Ukraine of everything it has won by withstanding Russian aggression and defending the borders of Europe.

It rewards Russian lawlessness—and makes America complicit in the lawlessness.

It’s the end of post WWII American power.

In Nov 2012, Mariya Soroka uprooted an alder tree at her home in Vinnytsia Obl; she found a bottle of millet.

Her grandfather buried it in 1932 to save from Soviet confiscation, but never found it again. His daughter Yustyna & 3 children starved in 1933.

The bottle is now in the Vinnytsia museum

Everyone quitting Gmail for Proton should be aware that Proton also has an 'ai' tool called Lumo. Apparently it can be disabled, but for me that's still crossing the line.

At this point, I no longer trust any company that's using any kind of 'ai' horseshit anywhere. It'll be forced on you soon.
