Here is the poem in full: "What War Is", by Ostap Slyvynsky 🇺🇦 #ukraine
Maybe someday they'll decide to write a textbook, only we won't be invited to contribute because others always know better what war is because others always know better okay but just one chapter give us one chapter you won't find any supplemental material anyway this will be a chapter on silence whoever hasn't been in war doesn't know what silence is but to the contrary, they know that we don't know the way fish don't know about the water that sustains them and the oil that kills them the way a field mouse doesn't know about the dark that hides it from the hawk but it hides the hawk too let us write this chapter i know you're afraid of blood so we'll write it with water the water the wounded man asked for when he could no longer swallow and just looked at it water that seeps through a shelled-out roof water that can replace tears yes -- we'll come to you with water we'll leave no permanent marks on your slogans and values that we've so flagrantly misused that you can't even show them to your children anymore these will be our few pages and only a few will know they aren't empty

Great speech by European Parliament member Reinier van Lanschot (video from October 8):

"How many Russian drones did it take to shut down European skies? About five. How many drones are over Ukraine? About 500. Every night. If we face that, we're not prepared at all.⤵️

Two tankers from Russia’s shadow fleet were damaged in near-simultaneous Black Sea blasts. Bloomberg reports the Kairos caught fire after an explosion near the Bosphorus, while Reuters says the Virat was hit in a separate incident off Turkey’s coast.

A Gambia-flagged tanker heading to Novorossiysk mysteriously caught fire after "external impact" in the Black Sea, with Russian media carefully avoiding specifics about what exactly impacted it.

German academia: great place to work? You should think twice before giving it a try: Permanent positions are very rare, most scholars have to drop out after some precarious years. @dianakwon.bsky.social has written a great piece about this for @nature.com and also talked to yours truly. #IchBinHanna

Trump calls Governor Tim Walz “retarded.” How do MAGA parents justify the use of this word? How does Sen. Eric Schmitt, who has an autistic son, justify it?
A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World, for being “Politically Correct,” and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration. The official United States Foreign population stands at 53 million people (Census), most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels. They and their children are supported through massive payments from Patriotic American Citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape, or form. They put up with what has happened to our Country, but it’s eating them alive to do so! A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for “prey” as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country,

Deloitte used AI without doing any fact checking on the information it provided, making “recommendations” on Newfoundland & Labrador’s healthcare system using made up sources and papers

I hope this constitutes contractual beach and the province can claw back the $1.6M for the “analysis” they got
Deloitte just got caught again citing fabricated and potentially AI-generated research—this time in a million-dollar report for a Canadian provincial government | Fortune
In a healthcare report aimed to address a nurse and doctor shortage, Deloitte cited several fake studies with real researchers’ names attached.

This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.

Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...
