President Zelensky says Ukrainian intelligence has warned of a new Russian strike being prepared against energy infrastructure and bridges across the Dnipro River. In his evening address, he said Ukraine's Air Force and other military units are preparing to defend against the threat. Zelensky appealed to partners to accelerate deliveries of Patriot interceptor missiles, stressing that every day matters, and urged Ukrainians to heed the missile threat. #Ukraine
I think the "function" I serve in practice within social media communities is to write brief angry rants about Javascript or Git or Elissa Slotkin or something before going to bed and then wake up and discover I have 130 boosts. But the only thing I actually enjoy doing here is making those electronic music recommendation posts
Is the NYT ever, ever going to do these kind of safari trips to blue areas? Talk with latino hotel workers in Vegas? Middle-aged suburban resistance moms? Young black men? Does the paper ever extend its empathy to anyone other than disgruntled white people?

Celebrating the midterm results. So many proteins to choose from.
@bellack.com nice. I've been making very thick burgers this week.
@moira 😬 Wow! Well, good luck! Sounds like my stuck seat post level of challenge (which I worked on for weeks.. that did not go well, lol)
@ai6yr I remember! That was a real adventure. I hope this does not also take weeks xD
(I am tho' worried that aluminium has welded to steel, because those are the metals involved here, so.)
@troublewithwords @mothninja That belly is touchable! No harm will come to you (other than maybe minor blood loss). 😁
@tsturm @mothninja She is the softest and sharpest being in all reality!
She rarely lays belly traps, but she does “love chomps” which are what they sound like.
The problem is that when the software is really really really good, you just don't even notice it anymore.
I see YOU triket. I see YOU p5js.
@futurebird All true.
From my local 350 group:
"There's a bill in the U.S. Senate scheduled for a vote on Monday —
the so-called Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act.
Don't let the name fool you.
This bill is stuffed with blatant environmental attacks. It would:
• Gut the Clean Water Act, making it harder to protect water and stop polluting projects.
• Weaken the Endangered Species Act, limiting its ability to protect imperiled species like North Atlantic right whales and monarch butterflies.
• Lock in decades of fossil fuel dependence instead of supporting clean energy.
• Fuel energy-hungry data centers by accelerating federal approval of new gas pipelines and infrastructure.
• Hand mining companies unprecedented rights to occupy and degrade public lands, while removing the people's right to oppose these projects."
Why is this race such an interesting one to watch?
Scott managed to flipped a key conservative Mississippi district where people are so fucking racist they named their county in honor of the KKKs first grand wizard.
Anyways, I'm gonna stop praising Senator Colom and posting his ads but god all of his ads feel like skits my cousins on the south made.
Just stupidly down to earth and asking the sorts of questions that even MAGA voters genuinely might ask.
Do any sewers know of a good sewing pattern for a summer dressing gown/robe. Preferable falls at mid calf.
My summer one is falling apart now, and no summer ones for sale are made out of a light enough cotton which will be cool enough for those of us who are perimenopausal and running hot 🥵
@craftygardennz Do you like the one you have now? Although it's not for everyone, if you have an old one you like and it's falling apart, I'd pull it apart and copy the pattern.
if youre in the midwest it's called opesec
@ai6yr I've been throwing the only penetrating oil I've ever seen do anything at all (WD-40 brand specifically) for a couple of days, it just says "nuh-UH" and sits there.
since the gearset is riveted so must be replaced as a set i'm kinda thinking of sawing it off
@moira 😬 Wow! Well, good luck! Sounds like my stuck seat post level of challenge (which I worked on for weeks.. that did not go well, lol)
OK, so I don't use "Google" as a generic term for searching for things on the web. I usually say "web search" or similar.
But I use Duck Duck Go, and to say I "Duck Duck Went" for something is attractive, but unwieldy.
So from here on I think that when I do a web search I'll say:
"I DD Went"
(phonetically: Eye Dee Dee Went)
@ColinTheMathmo I double-quacked it
I panic when Hakeem Jeffries or whoever says "we don't want to fight with the Republicans, we want to reach across the aisle and get stuff done" cuz I assume that will ONLY result in doing things that BOTH Republicans and Democrats agree on. And the only thing they agree on is censoring the Internet
@davidrevoy You are a brave, strong person. And you are honest with yourself.
@iknowpony Thank you for your encouragements. Going four time in this process this month is going to be tough. 💜
@moira Soak it in some kind of solvent overnight or for a few days (outdoors!). WD-40 might work, or penetrating oil. (PB Blaster would work but it's nasty stuff). THEN, try removing the crank after it's soaked. I managed to get a crank off that way (oh yeah, also used a vise clamped to a wood patio and used the frame for leverage). Wasn't easy.

Today is National Play Outside Day - 3 Facts!
• It falls on the first Saturday of every month.
• Aaron Wiggans and Rhonda D. Abeyta started it in 2011.
• They started it because kids had grown preoccupied with their digital devices.

Joe Zawinul's drummer was Charlie Antolini. I've got a direct to disc LP here, one long drums solo. You could listen to these at the jazzland club every week in Vienna.
Idea: aging, but you still have energy after 6pm
