I'm really looking forward to what Russia has to say today.

Yeah, the point is Ukraine can now go to the peace talks and say "Are you ready to quit and go home yet?"

I live in a place full of Russians. Trust me, they know. The official state media tries to cover it up, but it's getting harder and harder. Most Russians know, they just can't talk about it publicly without risking prison. But Putin's days are numbered.

Make it to a month, and it will be come a new habit. After three months of dedication, you'll probably be able to look at yourself in the mirror and see real changes.

Thai people tend to have names that mean things like that.

Common ones I've seen:

Pang = bread Namsom = orange juice Namphueng = honey (bee water) Namfon = rain water Somporn = auspicious orange Somwan = sweet orange

I'd assume that played a huge role in him choosing to step down.

86 started at a speakeasy during the prohibition called Chumley’s at 86 Bedford Street in NYC. They'd kick out poorly behaved people, telling them to "86 it" out the door. These days restaurant workers and kitchen staff is 86 to mean that a menu item is unavailable or someone is being cut off or kicked out. It basically means "get rid of it".

How long do you think your rights in prison are going to last once they've eliminated your most basic rights outside of prison?

These are some of the most inaccessible seeming accessibility features I've ever seen. They updated visionOS for blind people, for fucks sake. And who decided to put the word "nutrition" in an accessibility feature that has nothing to do with nutrition? Braille on a smartphone screen? A magnifier app with normal sized UI controls? Who is in charge of this?

Depardieu [argued] that he did not consider placing a hand on a person's buttocks sexual assault and that some women were too easily shocked.

[The judge said] "He does not seem to have grasped either the concept of consent or the ... consequences of his behaviour..."

The takeaway for men: yes, you need consent before grabbing someone's ass.

I really hope civilization survives for the next five years because I'd love to be able to eat gluten again, omg!

The US is heading surprisingly rapidly towards that point. It was a tragedy when it happened in the Middle East. Unfortunately many of the right wing people in the US don't understand this yet.
