I've been returning to a backburner project, but I need to dive more into πΊπ¦ Ukrainian folklore and history to fully approach what I want to do.
Does anyone know of good books/resources on πΊπ¦ Ukrainian folklore/culture/history? I've already started Plokhy's Gates of Europe, but am interested in more!
Much needed feature, but definitely need inline translate on desktop as well!
The same legislature that is cutting funding is telling schools they need to solve the decline in early literacy, or they are going to start holding kids back who don't meet certain metrics by third grade.
"Don't tell me what your priorities are. Show me your budget and I'll tell you what they are"
A new serial killer? Or is something else going on with this? The response seems very weirdly proportioned given the very limited info and description.
After getting burned so hard by electoral optimism in 24, I'm really trying my best to temper my expectations without getting all doomer about it.
A supermajority would sure be something, though. π
Jamelle Bouie clearly and quite publicly works very hard to be informed and even-handed and anyone talking about him as if heβs not doing either of those things should shut the fuck up and definitely be widely ignored
Your stuff is incredible, really happy to see that you were encouraged by him!
I think that Jamelle Bouie is a good person
the plan, such as it is, appears to be βbomb a country of 90 million people that is already facing a water crisis into a failed state, walk away and declare victoryβ
this is a monstrous nightmare regardless of whether or not it βworksβ
"The Supreme Leader of the Revolution was martyred." - Fars News Agency confirming the death of Ayatollah Khamenei
Hereβs the thing: a President openly contemptuous of Congress & willing, unilaterally, to recklessly and illegally commit the US to wars of aggression is an existential threat to the Republic, *regardless* of whether he can ultimately explain his acts to Congress.
The demand must be impeachment.
Iran is an evil regime and deserves to fall. But that's not a good argument for launching a war of regime change without Congress and against the will of the American people.
The only concern I have with a congressional candidate who wants to back Ukraine to the hilt, defend Taiwan, and impose costs on Israel for gross civilian harm is how much money I can donate to them.
You fucking losers.
This is not a fake narrative being peddled by leftists in the media. It is exactly what Anthropic is saying. They arenβt prepared to give up on these 2 conditions and are willing to put their $200 million contract at risk over it. All Hegseth can say is, βTrust me, bro.β
Yesterday, Yoonβs legal team did appeal the Seoul High Courtβs life sentence, saying itβs too much. Today, the special prosecutor investigating the Dec. 3 insurrection appealed the sentence, saying it was not enough lol www.hani.co.kr/arti/society...
The thing that stands out to me the most about the Utah GOP--beyond the culture warrior theatre and the childish fits they throw when they lose-- is the absolute, full-throated detestation they have for the fundamentals of representative democracy. If *they* can't have full control, *nobody can*.
God these tyrants are just so fucking petty
This entire state GOP tantrum is about a grand total of one of our six-strong congressional delegation maybe being a Democrat and theyβre tearing the entire state apart over it
One can only hope his day, or even week, was ruined.
Thank you to Greenland for providing emergency medical care to a US sailor on board the submarine, since we did not have adequate resources in the area to treat him. Iβm sorry that our president felt the need to cover up our shortcomings with a deranged ghost hospital ship post.
Guys being Dudes
The Utah Supreme Court just tossed the Legislature's appeal in the Prop. 4 lawsuit, rejecting their attempt to make an end-run around court rules.
The 2021 map remains blocked.

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.
Down Detector graph showing a dramatic increase in issue reports for CloudFlare in the last few minutes.
It is kind of funny that Cloudflare goes down at the same time Trump is crashing out about tariffs.
Map showing the single "Limited" number 806 bus line connecting Eagle Mountain and Saratoga Springs to the UTA network.
Southern Salt Lake Valley/Northern Utah Valley might finally be getting the TRAX lines they should have already had years ago.
I just hope they expand bus service through Saratoga & Eagle Mtn if/when the line expansions happen, because right now it's almost nonexistent and desperately needed! π
Making someone leave the app/site to read a post is an incredible amount of friction.
I'm glad Firefox has an inline translator itself, but you shouldn't have to rely on that when Bsky's own existing "translate" feature could be significantly improved.
Honestly, I think this would be easier to facilitate if Bsky had a better, actually integrated, inline translation system rather than just linking you out to a separate Google Translate page.
Make it easier for folks speaking different languages to connect, please!
for lack of other options, i am nominally a capitalist, and i think we should get back to first principles about making capital productive. any one person having tens or hundreds of billions of dollars is grossly unproductive and bad for business.
the main reason to go after the rich is that if you donβt the entire structure of your society is predicated on the whims of people who are entirely disconnected from ordinary life
billionaires are simply too dangerous to exist, and any budgetary stuff that comes out of it is just a bonus
