My soon-to-be teenage daughter had one of *those* mornings & claimed to HATE everyone in the world!!

I laughed & said "Me too, on many days! Want to see my hate-the-world playlist?"

She was not amused & did not want to see the playlist. =/

She got over it & apologized later.

Kids are awesome

For context on how big a sale this is for Sweden:

Ukraine will purchase about 1.5x the size of the entire Swedish Gripen fleet.

~95 Gripen currently in the 🇸🇪 Air Force:
60 New Swedish orders of Gripen E to phase out older C/D (just started being delivered).

120-150 Gripen E to Ukraine
eadamson91.bsky.social Eric Adamson @eadamson91.bsky.social · 9h
Sweden will sell up to 150 JAS Gripen E to Ukraine! This is the newest model of the Saab Gripen.

This is not a donation of planes today, but a delivery over several years.

The AWS outage bricked people's $2,700 smartbeds, leaving them in a reclining position or with the heat up. People were unable to use them, basically. A GitHub repo exists that lets people operate their beds without reliance on the normal infrastructure

Went to a speaker series list night and heard Ella Al-Shamahi talk about paleoanthropology and how for most of “human” existence we shared the planet with a bunch of other branches of the archaic humans. She was great. Looking forward to watching her BBC series “Human.”

You know, fuck Bernie Sanders, this pisses me off. We’re supposed to have standards and values. The GOP is the one hiring Nazis and groypers and trash bigots. How can people stand up to that without having some kind of standards that they adhere to? Goddammit.

Also, as a reminder.

There's at least two cases of Bluesky users that have been subject to arrests and charges because of what they've posted on Bluesky.

Homeland Security Investigators are monitoring Bluesky, sending subpoenas out, and charging people.

"Ordinary cities were under attack — mainly our energy infrastructure, but there were also many strikes on residential buildings." - Zelenskyy said.

As of now, it is known that 17 people have been injured. Six people, including two children, have unfortunately been killed.

Good morning once again. It's Day 1337.

Every single day, all the news - fact checked - in one handy thread, covering all aspects of Russia's all-out war in Ukraine.

Thank you to everyone helping to grow my reach and therefore keeping Ukraine's struggle in the public eye.
